Your comparisons are really awful, like serious some of the worst I've seen, but the mock is really nice I like it and the writeups are well written.

Agreed. The order of selection is solid, and daresay somewhat original, however I wouldn't say that the comparisons are solid. For example, to compare Larsson to Lidstrom is a bit of a stretch.
All things equal though, selection is most important, and this one was pretty solid.
Yeah I'd agree the selections seemed pretty solid. I'm not one to read deeply into comparisons anyways so won't go there. Think a lot of the picks make sense.
I guess one thing that did surprise me was Puempel not being in the top 30. While his injury may bring questions I can't imagine he's going to slip out of the first round completely.
Well forgetting happens. Since he got slotted in now I think it's fine. Though since I pointed it out you could have let him slip to Toronto .I completely forgot about Puempel. I'm probably cheating a bit but I added him in.

Thanks for the feedback.
Which comparisons in particular did you not like?
Almost everything after your top 5.
Worst one was Mayfield to Erskine. They're really off or streches for the most part.
This is as good a mock as I've seen.
Saad, Biggs, Grimaldi, and maybe even Mayfield are ranked too high, imho.
Only Biggs and maybe Mayfield are first round (late) material from where I stand.
Some teams may be willing to take a shot at Saad or Grimaldi in the first, but I think they'd be reaching by a fair bit if they did. Grimaldi's size and Saad's drive are very legitimate concerns.
I can't see Snow taking Murphy and leaving Hamilton,the safer pick,still on the board at #5.I wouldn't be surprised to see Snow trade back 1-2 slots and then take Hamilton.
I can tell you with near certainty that if McNeill is on the board when the Sabres pick, he's theirs. They need a top-6 center prospect in the worst way, especially with it looking more likely that Luke Adam will be a LW in the NHL. Sundher is a nice 3C prospect for the Sabres, but he's probably not top-6 material.
I think they'll pick McNeill or Scheifele (coached by ex-Sabre Dale Hawerchuk) in the draft.
I was under the impression that they had Roy and Connolly as their 1st and 2nd line centers. Plus I thought Ennis or Adam could play C if needed, plus if worse comes to worst, Boyes used to play C back in the day. I thought wing and defense were their biggest needs, with center and goaltending being the least of their worries.
Under no circumstances should the Sabres allow Brad Boyes to play center. He tried it in St. Louis on a few occasions, with absolutely no success.
