Veleno too low, Tkachuk too low. Kupari a smidge too high,

 

[Captain97]

I can see veleno dropping past 15

If the Isles pick a center at #11 there's no point in not moving down with #13. In your scenario I doubt they take Hayton over Lundestrom.

Move back to around 20 and take McIsaac if this is the way the first round pans out.

That should bring in a nice extra piece too. Maybe Columbus wants a center like Hayton and would offer a player like Milano to switch spots. Then see if Phily would trade a Morin for the right to swap up from #20 to #15.

That would make the Isles first round haul look like Lundestrom, Milano, Morin and McIsaac.

I think one of the most common things I've seen in Mock Drafts is Jett Woo to Toronto lol.

 

[Savant]

Rangers would be very happy to get Tkachuk there

 

[Kevin Musto]

Tkachuk goes higher thank Boqvist and Hughes. A lot of teams will be apprehensive about those two. I'm high on them, but they're considered "risky picks"

 

[Chuck Downie]

Although the Flyers are likely to pick a defenceman with one of their picks, Veleno and Kravtsov? Yes please.

As a Flyer fan, I can't see them taking a defenceman in the first round this year. They already have Provorov, Hagg and Gostisbehere full time, with Sanhiem and Myers in the AHL. Their forward depth is not the greatest

I'm not that high on Tkachuk, I can't really see him jumping over Boqvist, but I can see him jumping Hughes

Depends who wins the lottery and where teams land in the draft. Some team really value "grit" so I can see Tkachuk being picked over both. That being said, I wouldn't pick him over Boqvist or Hughes.
