Very interesting mock. No Cherepanov and Bill Sweatt in the top 10 were the big surprises for me.

Wowzers on that guy's mock draft. As a Hab fan I hope it's reality on draft day.
Why the hell do the guys doing this keep calling JvR, whom most see Philly picking, the "hometown kid" for Philly?
He's a lifelong Rangers fan.
He grew up in Central Jersey which is Rangers/Devils territory and not even anywhere near Philly territory.
Kind of annoying hearing it left and right that he's some "hometown kid" for Philly.
isnt he from the jersey shore?
I dont care if he is a NY Rangers fan, I doubt most of the Flyers today were Flyers fans, Giroux is an Ottawa fan, Ratchuck is a Buffalo fan, but the "hometown" Philly label is incorrect, he is from Middletown NJ, which is far from Philly, its probably about 20 miles from NY/NJ line. Its like someone calling Umberger a Philly boy because he grew up in Pittsburgh.
JVR being "the hometown guy"... we had him on the show 2 weeks ago and that's how he referred to himself being considered by Philly... we're not that dumb to think Philly is in NJ.
Never said you were "dumb" and think that Philly is in NJ. Don't know why you'd even make such an absurd comment.
It's just ridiculous to consider a Jersey Shore kid a "hometown guy" for a Philly team -- no matter if he said he's being considered by them or not. If he lived in Western NJ like a guy like Bobby Ryan or Bobby Sanguinetti, then yes. He'd be a "hometown" kid for a Philly team.
Jersey people are very particular about how people divide the state up and stuff like this -- where little to no research or even map-looking -- is done it pisses people off.
Same reason that I HATE it when someone considers where I live South Jersey and most others in the area do as well.
Before this gets even more blown out of proportion... I sincerely and humbly apologize to the people of the great State of New Jersey for not knowing your geography. No offence meant.
I hope we can move on now.
The ISS head Scout must have a man crush on McLean to put him in the Top 10.

They rank him as a player way lower, 20something, but he thinks that St. Louis likes him so much they grab at #8. He thinks St. Louis will like him enough to take him there. It may be a few picks too high but Boston doesn't have another pick in the first so they're gonna take the player THEY want the most. But I dont agree with the spot if McLean either, too high IMO.
