Adam Kimelman's Pick:Serron Noel, RW, Oshawa (OHL)
Kimelman's Take:"Panthers general manager Dale Tallon likes to find bigger players who can skate (Aleksander Barkov, Nick Bjugstad, Henrik Borgstrom), making Noel an ideal choice. The son of a former Canadian Football League player, his smarts and athleticism will allow him to add strength without sacrificing the speed that makes him an appealing prospect."
Mike G. Morreale's Pick: Bode Wilde, D, US-U18 (NTDP)
Morreale's Take: "The 6-2, 195-pound right-shot defenseman had 41 points (12 goals, 29 assists) and a plus-35 rating in 61 games. Committed to the University of Michigan in 2018-19, Wilde is skilled, tough and has a good shot from the point. The Panthers need to replenish their defensemen prospects."
Guillaume Lepage's Pick: Rasmus Kupari, C, Karpat (FIN)
Lepage's Take: "Kupari (6-1, 183) has impressive offensive skills, and the Panthers won't overlook a center of his caliber available beyond the top 10. Florida already boasts a top Finland-born center, Barkov, and Kupari could be their next one."
