Going back to the Staal trade by MTL there have been 13 2021 NHL draft picks traded so far this deadline.
I'm going to select and give a little breakdown of the players I think could go for those traded picks at the upcoming draft. A

NYI 1st > NJD
Player selected: Matthew Coronato
Coronato is a relentless forward of the @ChicagoSteel. High energy high impact offensively gifted forward. Great creativity, and a wicked passer. This would be a great addition to the NJD forward core. https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/2505/

TBL 1st > CBJ
Player selected: Zach Dean
Highly creative and skilled passer. Dean has been rocketing up my board lately due to his ability to get the puck to high danger areas while under pressure. https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/2665/

TOR 1st > CBJ
Player selected: Dylan Duke
Duke is one of my personal favs. He just never quits. Great puck retrieval skills. When scouts talk about 'compete', this is the type of player they mean. His skating has improved through the season as well. https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/2467/

BOS 2nd > BUF
Player selected: Connor Lockhart
The @ErieOtters forward is highly intelligent w/ the puck and is an agile and fluid skater. I expect a good upward trajectory in his development. Here's a report on him from FC scout @sheridan_mat https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/2587/

NJD 3rd > WSH
Player selected: Peter Reynolds
I think one of the more underrated players in this draft. Smart, hardworking, excellent two-way player. He can do it all when he chooses to. I went deep on Reynolds a couple months ago https://nhlentrydraft.com/news/2021-nhl-draft-deep-dive-peter-reynolds/

MTL 3rd > BUF
Player selected: Shai Buium
Hulking, yet mobile defender. Maintains a good gap, and owns some solid stick positioning. Not too shabby with the puck on his stick either. Here's a report from FC's USHL guru @dylan_krill https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/2456/

FLA 3rd > BUF
Player selected: Ethan Del Mastro
Admittedly this is likely low for Del Mastro. Another big, but mobile defender. I particularly like how good he is in his own zone. Can contribute offensively through some good exit and transition passes. https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/2653/

LA 4th > NYR
Player selected: David Gucciardi
Offensively minded and engaging defender. Good habits with the puck make him a really intriguing player. @JoshuaBell31 will almost certainly think this is too low for Gucciardi given this glowing report: https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/2653/

TOR 4th > SJS
Player selected: Ethan Cardwell
An overager who should have warranted a pick in the 2020 draft. Tenacious on the forecheck and he has an underrated and incredibly lethal shot when he gets it off. https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/1089/

MTL 5th > BUF
Player selected: Cameron Whynot
Solid two-way defender who, when given the space displays some really great straight-line skating. I'd love to see him drive the zone more often and use his size to create space for himself. https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/1944/

MTL 5th > DET
Player selected: Guillaume Richard
Mobile defender whose edges and agility can make him a dangerous quick-strike player. I'd like to see him slow his game down at points though and take a second to make some better decisions with the puck. https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/2144/

COL 5th > SJS
Player selected: Josh Doan
Another overager. Doan, son of Shane Doan, owns some great habits with and without the puck. His smart positioning and anticipation make his game easily projectable to the next level. https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/2585/

CHI 7th > FLA
Player selected: Francesco Arcuri
Would have been fun to watch the Arcuri/Wright Fronts. Needs to work on stacking his skating & passing. With some development, his playmaking could make him a solid late-round project.

EDM 3rd (conditional on playoff win) > NJD
Player selected: Zach Biggar
Impressive center lane denials on entries. I love his lateral mobility on the backcheck and his intelligence at keeping opponents out of the high danger areas of the DZ. https://nhlentrydraft.com/reports/2462/

Dang, this should be a 4th 2021 and conditional 3rd 2022.
