And waayyy too many good players left IMO. I wouldn't have run out of names to draft for another couple of rounds at least.
Yea, its amazing how deep this draft is.

Montreal selects from St.Andrews College Defensman Austin Cho
Really smart, cerebral forward from the Mission who drove a gifted offense last season. Gifted passer who is deceptively elusive, a refined scorer as well and one of the key recruits indicating an even brighter future for the Buckeyes.
Since the big scouting agencies megalists and black books recently came out and I just got my hand on a couple of them I thought it would be fun to compare my Mock Draft with the CBJ to where these guys had them ranked. Seeing as how I respect Future Considerations the most out of the three I got my hands on (others where HockeyProspect and ISS) that's the one I chose to compare my draft with. Here's the results:
At #8 I selected Mikko Rantanen - FC's final rankings have Rantanen ranked #8.
At #34 I selected Vince Dunn - FC's final rankings have Dunn ranked #34.
At #38 I selected Filip Chlapik - FC's final rankings have Chlapik ranked #35.
At #59 I selected Christian Fischer - FC's final rankings have Fischer ranked #53.
At #68 I selected Parker Wotherspoon - FC's final rankings have Wotherspoon ranked #52.
At #69 I selected Jesper Lindgren - FC's final rankings have Lindgren ranked #77.
At #129 I selected Petter Hansson - FC's final rankings does not have Hansson ranked.
At #141 I selected Joel Daccord - FC's final rankings does not have Daccord ranked.
At #159 I selected Christian Jaros - FC's final rankings have Jaros ranked #159.
At #185 I selected Kirill Kaprizov - FC's final rankings have Kaprizov ranked #55.
At #189 I selected Robby Jackson - FC's final rankings have Jackson ranked #181.
Pretty pleased with myself upon seeing these results. Many players I picked in the exact same spot that FC had them ranked and a couple, according to this list, were steals. Not terribly surprised Daccord and Hansson weren't ranked. After all there are only so many players you can fit onto a 211 player list but personally I'd pretty easily take these guys over some 6'3 low-scoring highschool d-man or 5'8 BCHL player

Sorry, I chuckled.
