Every year there's a mock draft done by the team boards of HF -- here are the results of 2015, 2016, and 2017. Rules are easy: just pick the player you want your team to draft based on who is still available; "trade the pick" is not an option

Some strong options here between Noel, O'Brien, Olofsson, Samuelsson & Sandin. A decent case could be made for any of them but I think I'd go with Noel and see if they can develop another power forward winger.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

I really have no idea.

I do like Jett Woo’s name, though.

I went with Noel as well, had Woo as my second choice

 

[HunterSThompson]

I went with Olofsson after two minute research, gotta love the Swede pivots.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Love Nordgren, highly under-rated, but went with Noel at this point.

 

[bags92]

I went with Olofsson. I'd be perfectly fine with Noel or Sandin at 31 too.

 

[Silky mitts]

Where is Pivonka’s son supposed to go? I assume 31 is too early.
