2012 NHL Mock Draft: Top 14 - (Redarmynative)

[Marshal Rochambeau]

Bumping this for the updated standings (4/3/12 11:39 PM ET)

I think Isles grab Dumba for the huge upside he has. Forsberg drops to Toronto and Anaheim gets offensive depth.

 

[SauceHockey]

Why does everyone give the Wild Forsberg over Galchenyuk?

And I'm pretty sure we would take Dumba over Trouba. Murray and Dumba seem to be the consensus top 2 D right now

We are stacked with center prospects

 

[Circulartheory]

Wild would Probly go Trouba over Reinhart. Cant believe i have to even talk about us picking those 2 now... Wild really ****** up

Why? Trouba and Reinhart both have top pairing potential. They have nearly the same value on draft day as Galchenyuk, Reilly and Dumba.

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

Updated.

If anyone can tell me how to make a table that would be swell.

I have no clue either, but I've added them in the past by quoting a post with a table in it, then populate the table with what you want in it.

 

[Future]

I really want the leafs to grab Gally, Dumba, or Forsberg.

 

[LT]

Stars would take Girgensons or Gaunce over Collberg if all three were available.

 

[byeyimini]

If Yakupov and Grigs went 1 and 2 to Clb and Edm, hardly far fetched...does Montreal take Murray at 3 ? He sounds like an amazing prospect, but I just have a feeling they won't. Am I wrong ??

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

Stars would take Girgensons or Gaunce over Collberg if all three were available.

There were so many possible selections at #14 that I just put a guy who I thought the Stars would need. Are they weak down the middle?

Where they sit now Forsberg seems like a sure thing and Galchenyuk seems less likely. Why do you need Dumba though? I thought Toronto was deep on defense?

Eh seems like a lot of work I'll just leave it for now.

5th | Toronto Maple Leafs | Filip Forsberg | Forward
6th | Anaheim Ducks | Matthew Dumba | Defenseman

Just quote it for the code.

Our prospect pool is very weak there. We'd also take a defensemen over a winger, but most of the good ones were gone in your mock.

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

Thank you very much LatvianTwist!

I remember hearing that Gaunce wasn't as great as many were lead to believe. I think Zemgus would be a better pick at 14th.

 

[LT]

Thank you very much LatvianTwist!

 

[ManByng]

good list, if Anaheim loses Schultz then Dumba would be an amazing pick up for them...

Anaheim is in a really good spot to replace Schultz if they lose him....one of Dumba, Trouba, Reinhart or Rielly could be there for the taking.

I think Dumba could be a star at the next level. Imagine a potential Gardiner-Dumba pairing for years to come. Unbelievable.

Maybe selecting Dumba would show Schultz that Anaheim doesn't need him.

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

I don't believe Dumba will be as good as everyone thinks he is. Look at Matt Corrente. He has the talent to be a good player in the NHL but he is on the smaller side and he always gets injured. As soon as Dumba proves that he won't be injury prone at the NHL level I will believe he can be star.

 

[ManByng]

Maybe selecting Dumba would show Schultz that Anaheim doesn't need him.

he's a UFA isn't he? must be irresistable for a kid that age to be able to pick anywhere to go if he's wanted there. SoCal isn't the worst place to play by far, but he must have quite a number of teams to choose from. The Ducks probably still need and want him, but the odds must be long that he'll sign there. drafting a d-man at this draft would help fill the void.

If Edmonton fails to draft a stud dman, then they deserve to fail.

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

If Edmonton fails to draft a stud dman, then they deserve to fail.

Well I hate Edmonton so I wouldn't mind that.

Many people are insisting that if Edmonton drafts 2nd they will take Grigs.

 

[Suxnet]

If Edmonton fails to draft a stud dman, then they deserve to fail.

Failing would be not taking BPA.

MPS-RNH-Eberle
Hall-Grigorenko-Hemsky

**** yeah!

 

[ManByng]

If Edmonton fails to draft a stud dman, then they deserve to fail.

bull****, they should take the BPA and it appears to be Grigs

Well I hate Edmonton so I wouldn't mind that.

Many people are insisting that if Edmonton drafts 2nd they will take Grigs.

cool...i hate New Jersey!

Failing would be not taking BPA.

MPS-RNH-Eberle

**** yeah!

*ding, ding, ding* we have a winner!

Are any of these guys true studs? That is the problem I have as an oiler fan. Each of the top rated guys has some good aspects and some potential holes. I don't see a Larsson in here. If the Oilers scouts feel one of the russians is significantly better than the Dmen then they should draft him. They actually have better depth on D than forward coming down the pipe after the guys already on the team.

lets go brah

I'm going to give you murray out of spite

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

I think Reinhart will be better than any D not named Murray in 4-5 years, but he'll go a little lower just like Hamilton did last year. The Ds will go Murray-Dumba-Trouba-Reilly-Ceci-Reinhart-Pouliot. Dumba could go first if Oilers decide to draft a D.
