10th annual "Official Habs Board Mock Draft" 2016 edition (Part 2) - COMPLETE!

[Whitesnake]

With pick #170 the San Jose Sharks select from the Janesville Jets of the NAHL G Jack LaFontaine

GM says "He's big and handles the puck well so has the basics for the modern game. Battles hard and plays an aggressive style but needs some good coaching to refine his technique. Was top goalie in his league and will take a year in the USHL before joining the U of Michigan Wolverines"


next GM PMed

The NY Islanders are proud to select with the 171st pick, from the Kitchener Rangers, Connor Bunnaman



An energizer bunny. Hard working guy with good smarts and decent hands. Plays hard-nosed and drives the net.
Can play all fwd positions. Should develop into the ultimate utility bottom 6 guy if he adds another gear.
​

GM PMed.

Nice pick at this point. Reminds me somewhat of Nick Paul in his draft year..the skating comes he'll be a decent player.

With the 172nd pick the NYR select from the OttWA 67'S Centre Dante Salituro

[Grant McCagg]

There's a kid who missed a lot of games that should have been selected by now...may be picked in the third round of the NHL draft.

 

[yoteshot]

Ok well, the Flyers do have a lot of goalie prospects and even signed Alex Lyon from Yale last month. Still I think you have to go BPA and it's good to have prospects of different ages. With Fitzpatrick and now Connor Ingram, we think we have maybe the top 2 goalies this year.

In case you missed it, the pick is Connor Ingram from Kamloops

 

[Mathletic]

damn, was hoping either one of Ingram or Lafontaine would fall to my pick.

 

[QuebecPride]

Suter has been a favourite of mine. He's gonna be a real player one day.

Complete player. Has the makings of a good checker. Nice gamble at this point.

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

Wow. I thought for sure I'd get Ingram in a couple of picks so I took Bunnaman! ****!

Ingram had an amazing season considering the pile of burnt garbage that played in front of him. He was the only one doing anything productive on that Blazers team.

@Grant, thanks. Yea he definitely plays like Paul did with NB. Unfortunately I don't think Bunny has the hands that Paul has.

No...Paul is a better prospect in that sense..but similar size, smarts and work ethic. He'll go before Ingram in the draft I would think...

 

[Natey]

With the 169th pick, Tampa Bay Lightning are proud to select, from the ZSC Lions in the NLA, Pius Suter. (will provide a writeup later)

Next GM PMed.

I already picked him!

last year (I still feel the same about him.. but I don't like drafting the same player two years in a row lol)

Mahura is already picked. Otherwise... Shhhh, be quiet.

Damn I was wondering, did the whole list again to be sure (before I saw your 'invisible' text hahaha)

But yeah I understand what you mean, at the same time, why not pick again a skilled little bugger, even if he's an overager ?

 

[Grant McCagg]

Mahura is already picked. Otherwise... Shhhh, be quiet.

ha ha..missed him.

 

[yoteshot]

FYI, I didn't PM Hoto until this morning, plus he has 2 picks, so I'm thinking he shouldn't be skipped unless he doesn't show up for the whole day

 

[WeThreeKings]

No excuses for hoto

Auto select: Olivier Archambault and John Westin

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

No excuses for hoto

I think he mentioned that his internet was getting hooked up in his new place this morning or something.

Auto select: Olivier Archambault and John Westin

lol.

 

[hototogisu]

Yep I'm here. Sorry didn't realize I was on the clock. Picks coming in a minute.

 

[hototogisu]

With the 174th overall pick the Florida Panthers are pleased to select from EC Bad Tolz forward Tobias Eder.

What's most impressive about Tobias is his hockey IQ. He thinks the game well and has shown good offensive awareness. Tobias was loaned from his youth club to Germany's third tier league and put up good numbers playing against men. He may not do one thing exceptionally well but he has a good all-around game and it's easy to project him as an NHLer at some point in the future.

 

[hototogisu]

With the 175th overall pick the Florida Panthers are pleased to select from VIK Vasteras HK defenseman Kristians Rubins.

Kristians is a Latvian-born defenseman playing for Sweden's Vasteras junior team. At 6'4", 216lbs, he's already man-sized and now just needs to work on honing his skills with the puck. He defends well and uses his stick and his body well. He may never turn into an offensive wizard but he can certainly hold his own defensively.


Next GM PM'd

 

[yoteshot]

Considered Rubins in the 5th when I took Vala. Good pick at this point I think.

 

[WeThreeKings]

So close to back to back picks as Washington and Dallas

 

[Habs76]

Liked Rubins, but if he's gone. ..

select G Mikhail Berdin.

Pming the next guy

 

[QuebecPride]

And Here I was hoping to pick today

It's normal to see things slow down when we get near the end of the draft, but it still sucks.
