Every year there's a mock draft done by the team boards of HF -- here are the results of 2015, 2016, and 2017. Rules are easy: just pick the player you want your team to draft based on who is still available; "trade the pick" is not an option ;)

For picks #11 and #12, I'm going with just one poll, please select two players. In case anybody misclicks, I've enabled the option to change your vote.

2018 Mock Draft
1 BUF --- D Rasmus Dahlin 117/126 (93%)
2 CAR --- F Andrei Svechnikov 69/74 (93%)

They should do this 1 at a time because their is a chance if we do it one at a time you might get a different result(I think there will be some people who say take both centers, and other who say take best defenseman and best center)

As most pointed out these 2 picks will probably be between Smith, Hayton and Veleno

I'm still thinking Veleno and Smith. Although I think I prefer Hayton to Veleno at this point, I think the Isles prefer Veleno. Smith is a no brainer for me and I think he fits the mold the Isles like to target on defense as well. Really smart, always makes good decisions, and has very good advanced stats.

If the draft turns out this way, we really get boned. I hope whoever is GM finds some kind of trade.

We were boned the minute we didn’t have any top 10 picks. Preferably 8.

We have to make the best of it. Smith and Veleno are legit prospects. Nothing to sneeze at. Obviously would have liked to have he pick if he litter of Defensman but it is what it is.

which is why our position is the best because we get 2 shots at the fallers. I am pretty sure I was watching something about the Islanders not liking any dmen outside the top 10.

I like what your saying but my concern is when he's actually defending. Offensively he may be great but that doesn't mean anything if he can't defend.

I'm actually surprised Kotkaniemi is not on that list. Do you believe he will be taken in the top 10 then?

Where is Jett Woo!? :cool:

His defending is what I'm talking about. He's always in the right position, always makes good decisions with the puck. Smith is one of the best in his own zone out of the top D prospects in the draft. Aside from Dahlin, I think Smith and Dobson are neck and neck in that category.
