Don't like Broberg but that's just personal preference. I think you did a good overall mock

 

[ookhaab]

HIGHLY doubt that Carolina selects Small LHD.

1. Carolina is stacked on D both in present and future (Slavin, de Haan, Fleury and Bean).

2. Owner Tom Dundon himself said that Carolina wont draft D in the 1st round. https://i.redd.it/mowd5omrw4421.jpg

3. Carolina's needs are offensively talented RHS forward, even better if center.

I'll take note of that, I'm not all that convinced that the d-mans you mentionned makes up for a very strong D prospect pool but it's not a flaw, you're right. I also can't argue with the owner's perspective, which I didn't knew about.

I'll review the mock at some point and it will probably reflect what you just mentionned.

I get that about Broberg. I'm first and foremost a habs fan and I would personally love to take Heinola at the 15th spot, but I'm now unsure that he'll be there at this spot, he played really well and progressed throughout the season quite a bit. I also feel that he could be Yandle's replacement down the road for a team like Florida. I feel that the habs will take a D-man and that Soderstrom is a bit too conservative offensively, we already have a bunch of those. Broberg has flaws, but also great assets. I feel that the habs can afford to take the chance given our solid prospect pool.

Suzuki or Tomasino likely fit the bill.

Canucks avoid Russians. Can't see them taking Pod.

Thanks for the comment, I'll take it into consideration. I was thinking about some changes in the top 10, so it'll probably reflect that.

It's a moving mock, I intend to make changes to it and won't finalize it until about two weeks before the draft, things can change since then and my opinon can too.

 

[JLarucci23]

Hawks are going either Turcotte or Byram.

 

[Savant]

Rangers take Brink at 22 over York

 

[Joey Moss]

Rangers take Brink at 22 over York

You talked to Jeff Gorton?

 

[Joey Moss]

I would be disappointed if the Oilers took Boldy over Krebs/Zegras.

 

[Savant]

The Rangers are beyond saturated at York's position and they went D heavy last year. This year they should go forward heavy

 

[A55P2]

I've taken into account many of the comments here and updated the mock, lots of changes.

I can see the Canes stealing Dorofeyev right under the f***ing Rangers' eyes and I kind of hope for it.

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Definitely would be happy if Nashville could get Pelletier. Any winger would do tbh

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Yeah, they should, but they also shouldn’t have taken a goalie in the second round last year. Yet, they did.

Some teams are very serious about the concept of “BPA”. The Rangers strike me as a team that will take the best player available (in their minds) regardless of position.

And York at 22 is a very, very good value pick in my opinion. I’d take him over any of our LD that isn’t Miller, personally.

 

[A55P2]

Up. Lots of changes. Top-22 should stay very similar, but there might be somes changes around 23-31. If anyone has comments about 23-31, please let me know.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sens should trade up 1 spot for Soderstrom

 

[A55P2]

Yeah, I had the Sens picking up Soderstrom but then realized he would fit the Stars a lot too. Afterwards, there's no great RHD since Seider got picked before too, so I went with what they'd think might be the BPA in Lavoie.
