The 2023 NHL draft takes place Thursday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

The 61st NHL draft kicks off Thursday night in Nashville, marking the second time the event has been held in the US state of Tennessee after 2003. In addition to super talent Connor Bedard (17), there are also some Swiss on the scout lists. Blick answers the most important questions.

The number 1 – Connor Bedard

He is considered the new Sidney Crosby or Connor McDavid. Last season he collected no less than 143 points in 57 games in the Western Hockey League. He scored 23 times in seven games at the U20 World Cup. The Canadian impresses with his technique and his diploma, but the small center of 1.78 m has to make concessions in terms of physique. Still, Bedard is considered the next generation talent and will be picked first by the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Swiss

Unlike 2017 and 2022, Switzerland has no player who could be drawn in the first round. Rodwin Dionicio (19) of the Windsor Spitfires is credited with the best chance of being called up, and he ranks 114th among the Scouts. According to “nhl.com”, Tommaso De Luca (18), Tim Metzger (18), Leo Braillard (17) and Attilio Biasca (20) of the Canadian junior league, Simon Meier (18) and Lenn Zehnder (18) of the National League and Eric Schneller (18) from the Swedish professional league are selected by an NHL team.

The almost Swiss

Kloten’s talented defender David Reinbacher (18) will have a bit of a Swiss feel. The Austrian is rated fourth or fifth by the scouts. This would put the offensive defender in San Jose or Montreal. Reinbacher developed into a regular player at EHC Kloten last season and scored 22 points in 46 games in the regular season. (nsa)
