NHL Entry Draft: January mock

[waitin425]

Ran a Tankathon sim and came up with the following order. My picks are based solely on limited viewings and scouting reports.

Just did a top 16.....

Seattle - Shane Wright (easy choice)
Montreal - Matthew Savoie
Arizona - Logan Cooley
Buffalo - Joakim Kemell
Ottawa - Danila Yurov
Philly - Juraj Slafkosky
Jersey - David Jiricek
C-Bus - Brad Lambert
Isles - Connor Geekie
C-Bus - Simon Nemec
Canucks - Ivan Miroshnichenko
Wings - Rutger McGroarty
Oilers - Ryan Chesley
Anaheim - Ty Nelson
Sharks - Marco Kasper

Nemec won't last until 10th

Nemec won't last until 10th

Buffalo would be picking him or Jiricek at #4 over a wing as that's a gaping need in the prospect pool

Same for The Habs. RD is a huge need. I want them to take him but only if they end up 4th or lower. Top 3 and I go with one of the centres.

I'm pretty sure the Sabres feel the same way RHD unless one of the big 3C drop

Right now The Habs are a lock for a top 3 pick so looks like a centre but there is a lot of games to go.

Sens haven't drafted out of Russia since 2005. I'd be shocked if they did this year. Especially with names like Nemec and Geekie still on the board. My guess is they'd go Nemec here. A future top 4 of Chabot-JBD, Sanderson-Nemec would be ridiculous.

If Buffalo took Nemec I think Ottawa would take Kemell at 5

 

[SimGrindcore]

Top 32 maybe?

 

[cheesymc]

I don't see the Ducks drafting a 5'8" dman when they have Drysdale, Fowler who is probably going to retire a Duck, and Zellweger in queue.

Wright, Cooley, Savoie, Nemec or Jiricek for Habs and i'm pretty happy with that. (I really like Kemell and Slafkovsky too).
