NHL Entry Draft: 2018 Mock Drafts

[scoutsystem]

Funny stuff: Carolina has picked 41st instead of the NYI, but the draft just keeps going on.

Sure hope Lou is able to do that type of thing next month...

Thanks, I’ll fix that later today

Edit: my order matches that of capfriendly which I use for many different things, it goes islanders, hurricanes, islanders on both but thanks for making me check, it's good to be accurate. I tried to make sure all my picks were right as of the day of posting.

Any chance McCloughan falls to the lightning in the 2nd round? Without a 1st they need to hit big with that pick and I like the upside of McCloughan a lot.

Do you mean Blake McLaughlin Centre for Chicago, can't say I know a McCloughan. or maybe Ryan McLeod Centre for Missisauga? If you do mean a McCloughan then I'd bet very strongly on him being there at the lightnings second because I haven't heard anything about him. If you mean McLeod then no, probably not theres too many teams looking for renters in the mid first to early second range. If you mean McLaughlin then yes he most likely will be available at second depending on what type of player teams vape this year. There is even a very very slim chance that he's around for their third rounder. I prefer Foudy if he's there, maybe more of a big upside pick, same for Eggenberger but I doubt he gets there

My bad, I'm on mobile and after I put in the Mc it put McCloughan and I didn't even realize it, I meant McLaughlin.

I think Jett Woo cracks top 31 , could be wrong but

I think Jett Woo cracks top 31 , could be wrong but

The concussions make me nervous, I think he will too just cause he fits a need for so many teams however I see him like he's in a similar position to a Nic Hague or Conor Timmins in the sense that they probably are first round talents but could also end up being one of those players that slide. Just my opinion though and thanks for yours. I feel anyone I had at 43rd or earlier all make strong cases for the first round, and especially Woo and earlier.

Anyone who I maybe have too far back?

I like it, only one I can’t see happening is Bahl, the rest is very possible

No fn way, maybe in the second. LA isn’t looking for bigs or defensive dmen in the first round. Mandate is speed and intelligence all things equal.

 

[Gecklund]

Sharks take Veleno in that last one.

I agree, I don’t think he’s first round quality at all

If he’s there I don’t see why not, could be a couture replacement down the line
