Just doing this for fun I've had the time from not working like a mad man on film sets to watch and read about prospects. I made the unbias attempt to think how each GM would draft.
I've never done a mock draft for public viewing before. I did a little write up mostly for the first 15 picks and a few remarks for others. Hope you like who your team picks. If not oh well!
Order from Cap Friendly
1) NYR - Alexis Lafrenière
Just a complete player in all levels. New York is going to be scary good.
2) LA - Tim Stutzle
Just having the option of putting Stutzle on the wing or centre could be enough to put him over Byfield. Very dynamic player that would excel in the LA organization.
3) OTT - Quinton Byfield
This would be the dream scenario for Ottawa. Getting a coveted 6’4 center with great hands and great speed is what Ottawa needs in their rebuild. He will need a season or 2 in the OHL.
4) DET - Jake Sanderson
Sanderson at 4? Yeah this would be a what the heck kind of moment like Seider was. Sanderson has been skyrocketing up the draft rankings. He’s a high IQ player who makes a great first pass can lockdown in his own zone. It would be very smart of Yzerman to setup his blue line for the future. Also seeing how past successful teams have won the Stanley Cup with a strong backend it's a no brainer that Yzerman is a smart guy to see this.
5) OTT - Lucas Raymond
Tell me if you haven’t heard this before. The Senators are proud to select from Frolunda Alfredsson, Karlsson and now Raymond! This would be such a Sens pick and a player that will become the best player from this draft. Buried in a deep team Raymond was used sparingly. But when he was on the ice he made an impact.
6) ANA - Jamie Drysdale
Anaheim goes with the best offensively skilled dman in the draft. They stock up with a future QB in their backend.
7) NJD - Alexander Holtz
The Devils go with an elite shooter. He gets a bad rep for people thinking he’s just one dimensional but I feel he has more to his game and will develop into a complete winger. Devils will be so happy with Holtz.
8) BUF - Marco Rossi
Marco Rossi is one of my favourite prospects in this draft. Him sliding in behind Eichel would be unbelievable. High IQ player with an unbelievable work ethic. He makes everyone around him better. Sabres fans would be very happy.
9) MIN - Anton Lundell
Lundell would fit well into the Wild scheme. He’s a complete center that plays a 200ft game. There is nothing too fancy with him but he gets the job done.
10) WPG - Seth Jarvis
Local boy gets his name called. Jarvis is an elite winger with slick moves and can stickhandle insanely well. He would fit great with the Jets.
11) NSH - Cole Perfetti
The fall of Perfetti has ended. How the heck do the Predators get this luck to get a highly skilled player like Perfetti in their laps. Perfetti has very high IQ with a lethal shot.
12) FLA - Kaiden Guhle
Florida needs some help in their backend. They go with Guhle who is solid in his own end and plays a very safe no non sense game.
13) CAR - Yaroslav Askarov
What more does a well built prospect team need? How about a future number 1 goalie. This would be insane if Carolina drafts Askarov and he develops into the next Price. Carolina will be set for a long time. Excited to see their future!
14) EDM - Dylan Holloway
Holloway would be a perfect fit for the Oilers. They have been missing that player that goes hard to the net that has some grit. He can skate really well, very smart player with great hands in tight places.
15) TOR - Braden Schneider
Schneider is a solid player to add to the Leafs organization. He will probably develop into a second pairing and be a shutdown type player that the Leafs really need.
16) MON - Jack Quinn
He may get drafted earlier but I just couldn't fit him in anywhere. Maybe the Oilers. But he would do wonders with the Habs.
17) CHI - Dawson Mercer
18) NJD - Noel Gunler
Needs more time to develop and mature himself and his game
19) CGY - Connor Zary
I just have a feeling Calgary will love him
20) NJD - Rodion Amirov
Not rush him and let him develop in the KHL
21) OTT - Jacob Perreault
Perfect player for Ottawa to target
22) CBJ - Brendan Brisson
23) NYR - Hendrix Lapierre
24) DAL - John-Jason Peterka
25) VGK - Jan Mysak
26) PHI - Justin Barron
27) WSH - Tyson Foerster
Would do well with the Caps
28) SJ - Mavrik Bourque
29) COL - Ridly Greig
Adding a feisty player like Ridly would be a great move for Sakic
30) STL - Lukas Reichel
31) ANA - Ty Smilanic
I've never done a mock draft for public viewing before. I did a little write up mostly for the first 15 picks and a few remarks for others. Hope you like who your team picks. If not oh well!
