If we take Larsson, I find it hard to believe we would take Musil over McNeill at 17.
That's exactly what i thought when looking at that mock. There is no way that the Oilers will pass on McNeil at 17 if Larsson is the 1st pick.

bsmith14 you explained 11 of your picks, why not the rest?
By the way, I think Vancouver fans would be absolutely ecstatic to get Puempel at 30th, even with his injury. Might bring unfair complaining from some Canucks fans who wouldnt like drafting a prospect with an injury history, but when they look at his goal scoring ability IM sure they would come around.
Would Edmonton taking St. Croix with their 2nd be a stretch? I saw him a few times, and he's really impressed me.
Pretty solid list. I definitely see Detroit taking Jurco.
In regards to TO:
I don't see Burke taking Alex Khochlachev. In the first round, he'll prob go with a safer North-American pick (Catenacci, Jacobs). Like the Jenner pick though.
8. St.Louis - Ryan Strome
St.Louis has had struggles scoring in the last few years and is set on defense. They opt for the best forward available at this point.
so Ottawa has the first overall pick, have a HUGE hole in the org for skilled forwards, and you think we pick Couturier.....okeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I´d like to see Hamilton go to the Panthers in the draft. But, on the other hand, Florida has already Dmitry Kulikov in the NHL, Colby Robak playing in the AHL and Erik Gudbranson in the OHL. But having Hamilton in the defense of future could improve a lot. But I also would like to see a center such as Huberdeau or Strome with that pick. That is a good list anyways.
Wait i thought we had 2 first rounders?
Edit: Toronto btw

Why do people think Couturier isnt skilled? Maybe hes not as dazzling as RNH but hes skilled in other areas. For instance, someone like zherdev can bring you out of your seat with his skill level at times, but is he more skilled than thornton?
I guess the only way it makes sense is if Florida were to do something like move gudbranson for offensive player(s) and then draft Hamilton.
They just desperately have to find some talent up front
