1. New Jersey Devils: Kaapo Kakko
After seeing them take Hischier over Patrick, I see them taking a flyer on Kakko from Finland over the consensus Hughes.
2. New York Rangers: Jack Hughes
New York has Hughes falling right into their laps at #2.
3. Chicago Black Hawks: Bowen Byram
Chicago gets the best defenseman in the draft and gets the perfect partner for Boqvist for years to come.
4. Colorado Avalanche: Dylan Cozens
Colorado gets the perfect player to play behind Mackinnon. He plays a fast, up tempo game while still maintaining a solid two way game that will translate well to the next level
5. Los Angeles Kings: Trevor Zegras
Kings take a fast, highly skilled center/winger that will fit well with their core and the direction they are going in.
6. Detroit Red Wings: Victor Söderström
Wings take a Swedish RHD that can cement himself as a strong #1 or 2 defenseman if he hits his ceiling.
7. Buffalo Sabres: Alex Turcotte
Sabres Select Turcotte, who will be a terrific #2 center behind Eichel. He plays a strong two way game and will be very reliable to the Sabres for many years to come.
8. Edmonton Oilers: Kirby Dach
Edmonton takes the hometown kid who will be a perfect #2 behind McDavid. They are familiar with the dub as they took Yamamoto a few years back.
9. Anaheim Ducks: Peyton Krebs
Ducks select a high tempo, skilled center and winger in Krebs. He will play very well with Jones and Steel for many years to come.
10. Vancouver Canucks: Alex Newhook
They are familiar with the BCHL, as they are next door to the Nucks. He will be a terrific addition to an already future solid top 6.
11. Philadelphia Flyers: Vasili Podkolzin
Philly takes a Russian, as they have in the past, (Rubstov). The only reason Vasili falls is because of him not coming over until 2 years, which is non issue for the Flyers as they already have a plethora of prospects coming up, so taking a flyer from one and waiting a little bit shouldn’t be a huge issue.
12. Minnesota Wild: Bobby Brink
Minny takes the hometown kid who is putting up impressive numbers in the USHL. He will fit well with their current group of prospects.
13. Florida Panthers: Matthew Boldy
Florida takes the free falling Boldy, Boldy falling will make many teams look dumb down the road looking back in redrafts.
14. Arizona Coyotes: Cole Caulfield
Arizona takes a pure sniper to compliment their centers coming up. Arizona drafter Hayton and he plays for Soo in the OHL, who holds Caufield’s rights. Maybe Cole leaves, and plays with Hayton in his D+1. Arizona will look back at the DeBrincat pick as an indicator that selecting smaller scoring wingers can be rewarding.
15. Montreal Canadiens: Ville Heinola
My favorite pick of the mock. Is a rising Finn like Kotka and Heiskenen in their draft years, although Heinola won’t go third, although he will in redrafts in the upcoming years. He is a terrific LHD Finn that fits perfectly for the habs. I could also see Montreal going with York or Harley at this spot.
