2006 Board to Board Mock Draft

[sushinsky4tsar]

I'm doing a board to board mock draft. I will keep the results updated on this board. The tally will be official after 2 full work days -or- 3 total days, whichever comes first. I can't outlaw "outsider" votes, but that's okay as long as the vote is based on some informed opinion of the player's talent and organizational needs. No sabotage please. Tiebreakers will go into OT for one extra day.
Anaheim is now on the clock.

The lottery picks are in the books. I wasn't really sure if I wanted to take this any further past the top 14. Especially considering the lack of sure top 25s (w/ only 14 poll options), and also the 17-20 picks are still fighting for the #30. But, what the heck, this is just for kicks. So unless there's any objections to one more pointless mock draft thread on your team's board, I'll fire it up again in a day or two.

These were the remaining prospects for pick #14:

Williams
Wishart
Forney
Emmerton
Grabner
Giroux
Joensuu
Vasyunov
Bernier
Fiala
Fischer
Kana
McGinn

These are the guys I want to add in a hurry:

Helenius
McBain
Vishnevsky
Foligno
Berglund
Marcinko
Shutron
Alexandrov
Persson
Lagerstrom

I'm trying to do a balancing act between "safe picks" for the 15-20 spot and a handful of high upside picks that might climb. I know there's a lot more than 14 realistic options by this point in the draft though. Any suggestions for players that should be taken off or added for your board in the next 5 picks?
