1- Washington Capitals - Alexander Ovechkin
Pos: Left Wing Height: 6'3 Weight: 200lbs
the Washington Capitals will be drafting the best talent in the draft at the 1st overall spot and this year the best talent is Ovechkin
2- Pittsburgh Penguins - Evgeni Malkin
Pos: Centre Height: 6'3 Weight: 186lbs
Pittsburgh upset that they will not be drafting future star player Ovechkin so the next best player in line for them is Malkin. The Penguins lack a real offensive threat in their lineup besides Lemieux.
3- Chicago Blackhawks - Robbie Schremp
Pos: Centre Height: 6'0 Weight: 195lbs
Trading the likes of Sullivan and Zhamnov i believe that the Blackhawks will be looking to draft an offensive forward.
4- Columbus Blue Jackets - Cam Barker
Pos: Defence Height: 6'3 Weight: 206lbs
Difficult spot to predict, the Columbus Blue Jackets have some of the best young offensive talent in the league and they now have a chance to draft an offensive star to be put alongside with Nash and Zherdev. the Blue Jackets also have a pretty weak defensive core though. So i think Cam Barker will be the ideal fit for this team.
5- Phoenix Coyotes - Wojtek Wolski
Pos: Left Wing Height:6'2 Weight:188lbs
I would say its a close match between Wolski and Olesz to be drafted by the Coyots. Although its a close match i think Wolski has the slight advantage over Olesz and would be a great acquistion for the Coyotes.
6- New York Rangers - Rostislav Olesz
Pos: Centre Height: 6'2 Weight 191lbs
Rostislav Olesz would have most likely been a lock for the top 3 this year in the draft if it werent for that concussion at the World Juniors, but none the less he is still an awesome offensive talent.
7- Florida Panthers - Lauri Tukonen
Pos: Centre Height: 6'2 Weight: 196lbs
Tukonen does not have one of the highest offensive talent but seems to be a solid all around player and is very speedy( The New Finish Flash) so with that in mind he should be a very nice pickup for the Florida Panthers.
8- Carolina Hurricanes - Marek Schwarz
Pos: Goalie Height: 5'11 Weight: 165lbs
Last year it seemed as if the Carolina Hurricanes were gonna draft Marc Andre Fleury, but with last minute trades between Pittsburgh and Florida the Hurricanes ended up with Eric Staal. With that in mind this year the Hurricanes have the chance at drafting a franchise goaltender for their team.
9- Anaheim Mighty Ducks - Drew Strafford
Pos: Right Wing Height:6'2 Weight: 200lbs
Anaheim does lack some size on offense and thats where Drew Strafford will come in. Hes a smooth skater, great hands and is one big guy.
10- Atlanta Thrashers - Andrew Ladd
Pos: Left Wing Height: 6'2 Weight 199lbs
In Atlanta with star wingers Dany heatley and Ilya Kovalchuk it seems like Andrew Ladd will be an ideal fit on the 2nd line winger who will get some good PP as he matures with time. He will be a great fit in Thrashers system.
11- Los Angeles Kings - Alvaro Montoya
Pos: Goalie Height: 6'2 Weight: 178lbs
Ranked 1st among N/A goalies and with Los Angeles very weak in the goaltending department i cant see Los Angeles passing up on a franchise goalie such as Montoya.
12- Minnesota Wild - A.J Thelen
Pos: Defence Height: 6'2 Weight: 205lbs
Yes, A.J Thelen is not ranked as high on my list as he is on others. I am not to high on Thelen but still think he is a solid player who will provide some much needed defence in Minny.
13- Buffalo Sabres - Alexandre Picard
Pos: Left Wing Height: 6'2 Weight: 190lbs
4th among North American Skaters Alexandre Picard will fit into the Sabres Organization very well as pretty strong offensive player and a descent defensive player.
14- Edmonton Oilers - Mike Green
Pos: Defence Height: 6'1 Weight: 191lbs
Edmonton being my favourite team in the NHL i would love to see the Oilers knabb Mike Green, hes a strong offensive dman which is exactly what the Oilers could use. The oilers do have some solid dmen in their organization but no real offensive dman.
This is my 1st Mock draft for the bottom 14 teams in the NHL, I will most likely be making a full Mock Draft after the Playoff ends.
