Wow, I really hate the pick you made for my team, you really didn't think it through very well did you? I mean come on.

 

[Patty Ice]

One of the better mocks I've seen. Big thumbs up from me.

Thanks.

As for the other reply, I was expecting that.

Really good Mock draft

 

[Mowzie]

As much as Id like to see my Oilers draft another top-flite goaltender. I dont see it happening with the current JDD signing. Oilers will draft the BPA forward.

 

[Kevin Forbes]

I see Anaheim taking Picard, Stafford or Valabik before Schremp personally. However, I'm not too high on Schremp

Overall pretty descent mock draft

Chipchura is a little low though
and i dont really see Atlanta drafting Picard, i can see them going for someone like Stafford or maybe even Enver Lisin

 

[KH1]

I really don't see the Isles passing on Chippy if they have a chance at him. Other than that, nice mock!

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

I don't see the Canes taking Thelen, even though it seems they will. Hockey's future says that their strength is offensive defensemen, which Thelen is, but they're weak on the wings. I could see them taking Schremp or Wolski to bolston skill on the wings. Though Thelen seems like a good possibility.

If Thelen's gone, I think I'd rather BM trade down and pick O'Neill, Smid, Green or Meszaros.

Really? You already have Scatchard. Which looks like Chipchura's upside.

If that is the way things pan out (and I think you may be very close) then look for the Oilers to hold an auction for Montoya. We very likely won't pick a goalie that high (the Oilers like Dubnyk and could get him at #25) and I'd bet more than a couple teams behind the Oilers would be very interested in Montoya.

Good mock!

Schremp is a Centre
and ya Carolina will most likely take Thelen, but they could also use a good winger like Stafford, Radulov or Ladd

 

[Captain Conservative]

Thatsa Good Mock!

I don't think Wes O'Neill will fall that far though. If the Caps get the guys that you penciled in for them, i'll be so excited. I love the 2 late 1st round finns and Kirill Lyamin is a favorite of mine too.

My perfect Caps 1st and 2nd rounds would be Ovechkin, Korpikoski, Lyamin, Fransson, Tesliuk and Alexandrov or Wharton.

 

[Radek27]

I think the Rangers would take O'Neil before Schultz with the TOR pick.

And are Ladd and Jessiman very similar? Both kinda came outa no where and are bigger wingers. I really hope the Rangers can land a center with that pick.
