2022 7-Round Mock Draft 2.0

[Hasbro]

Mr Irrelevant is Cale Ashcroft, D, Denver.

A sub 6 foot Defenseman from the AJHL named Cale? Lightning will strike twice!

Agree on Johnsen, Asplund, Fenenko. I thought Sotek should be in that group and someone would take a chance on Hannes Hellberg.


@My Cozen Dylan is a 1OA every year!

Johnson and Asplund are the two that I think will certainly go at some point in the 5th to 7th beyond that its hard to say. Ivantsov is purely a stat based ranking, can't say I have much of a book on him.

I can't imagine Mittelstadt and Stefan slip through this year (both 2nd year eligible). Stefan is the son of NHL legend Patrik Stefan. He has legit offensive tools, he can really play off skill well. Mittelstadt has good potential as a puck mover, great vision, went from high-school to a near PPG D in the USHL. He's headed to a great program at Minnesota. You will have control of him for 4 years too. Both saw major production spikes.

Somehow I missed that you had Stefan listed--completely agree with your assessment. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes 4th/5th.
