Team Board Mock Draft

[PredsV82]

Columbus took But, so there is now just the Rangers ahead of us.

I spent some time checking out Honzek, Stenberg, and also Sale at this point. I don't think we can truly go wrong. I would probably only be able to break the tie based on "intangible" things like interviews, physical projections, stuff that I'll never have access to. So I would say "we can't lose" now in this mock. Whichever one we get will be just fine by me.

But I still have to vote for one? Ugh. Can anybody convince me pro or con?

And Columbus traded that pick to LA yesterday

What about Heidt? A bit of a smurf, but he might be a "swing for the fences" sort of guy. Solid numbers out of the WHL.

He's comparable size to several of the other guys mentioned in this thread that wouldn't scare me. We will see what his true size is this week, but he's supposedly as good a playmaker as there is in the draft. He'd be a great option as well.

You look at the projected available players and there's just a ton of upside still sitting there through the end of the 1st round even into the 2nd. I really think we will still have a chance for some difference makers in the 2nd round.

been a fan of Heidt for a while, would be a good pick

Timely trade. Philly took Gulyayev so But is back on the board and Honzek may be coming off in NYR (looking at their poll). Checks that the skill and size blocks.

wouldnt do But until 2nd round

How is hockey IQ evaluated? I want guys who know what to do with the puck and make good decisions. I often thought our collective IQ was single digits last season. And for the love of the hockey gods, find guys who can make and receive passes!

I love this time of year. We all have our opinions, I certainly have mine and know it's fully formed based on someone else's opinion because I have no clue how to scout hockey players.

The Athletic just did a 2 round mock.

NHL Mock Draft: Pronman, Wheeler and Bultman pick two rounds as if they were the GMs

In this two-round mock draft, Corey Pronman, Scott Wheeler and Max Bultman make their picks as if they were GMs choosing for their clubs.

But goes 13th
Honzek 14th
Moore 15th

All of this just to say I love the process and can't wait to see how the real world shakes out in a few weeks.

As for our 2nd pick? I went Honzek with our 15th so if he's still on the board at 24 in this draft I'm sticking with it. Otherwise, Sale.
