1. Chicago Blackhawks - RW Patrick Kane
2. Philadelphia Flyers - C Kyle Turris
3. Phoenix Coyotes - D Karl Alzner
4. Los Angeles Kings - LW James van Riemsdyk
5. Washington Capitals - RW Alexei Cherepanov
6. Edmonton Oilers - C Angelo Esposito
7. Columbus Blue Jackets - RW Jakub Voracek
8. Boston Bruins - C Sam Gagner
9. St. Louis Blues - D Keaton Ellerby
10. Florida Panthers - D Nick Petrecki
11. Carolina Hurricanes - C Logan Couture
12. Montreal Canadiens - D Kevin Shattenkirk
13. Toronto Maple Leafs - C Brandon Sutter
14. Colorado Avalanche - D Jon Blum

Okay, here we go:

Espo ahead of Voracek?
Sweatt and McDonagh that low?
Aliu and i in the first round?
Where's Eller?

This looks like a mock put together a couple of months ago...

- Alzner to Phoenix? IMO, the last thing they need is a defenseman.

- Voracek falling to 7th? I have tough time believing it.

- St. Louis taking another Dman with their first pick?

 

[Judas Tavares]

Also, about 50% of people's mock drafts have Sutter going to Toronto, which will not happen. Accroding to who was available at 13 in your mock, the Leafs would draft Hamill, Backlund, Mayorov or Eller, probably in that order.

you must know some very connected people to have info like that..... hell, scouts don't even share those kinds of lists with trusted blood relatives, nevermind hf bloggers.

True, Coyotes need a dynamic offensive threat. Voracek or van Riemsdyk.

 

[Narnia]

If Jakub Voracek is available at #6, the Oilers will take him. I don't see the Oilers drafting Esposito at #6. If he's available at #15, then they might risk Esposito but not at #6.

 

[Jovofan]

Thanks for the input guys. Like I said, this was my first mock attempt and I'm still feeling out team needs and prospect value and such to improve it as the draft gets closer. I've already started work on my second installment.

Yup, if Voracek and Gagner are on the table at 6, we wouldn't choose Espo over either.

Apart from that, not bad.

The Coyotes will not draft a defenseman third overall.

 

[johnny canuckistan]

The Coyotes will not draft a defenseman third overall.

The Coyotes will probably draft whoever they think is the Best Player Available. That might be Alzner, for all you know.

Edmonton won't pass on Vorecek for Espo (Espo will go 15-25 IMO).... JVR will go to PHX over Alzner, some don't even consider Alzner the top D-man anymore...i, Negrin, Katic, and Aliu will not go in the 1st round (IMO)....I would love for McDonagh to go to the Wings, but I think he will be a top 15 pick. Not a bad try though.

Yup, if Voracek and Gagner are on the table at 6, we wouldn't choose Espo over either.

I'm sure you "knew" the Oilers would not take Devan Dubnyk either when they did.
