Prospect Info: HFDevils 2020 1st Round Mock Draft Competition

[RememberTheName]

Hey HFDevils. With the draft inching closer and closer, and with us Devils fans heavily engaged in this year's draft, I think it would be fun to have a competition on our board to see who can predict the most picks correctly in the first round of this year's draft. It'll be an enjoyable way to see how close each of us can get to the actual draft. At the end of the first round, I will tally up the results, and whoever gets the most picks correct out of 31 will be the winner! To whoever wants to participate, the present draft order is below. Just copy and paste the list, write your picks in and submit it by the 1st pick of the first round, and you will be all set! Right now, I am assuming Tampa Bay will win, so I will have them at 31 for now. If they do not end up winning, I will just count whoever you have at #31 as being the pick at #30 and whoever you have at #30 being the #31 pick unless you go in and change it.

Can you predict trades too?

Go right ahead! I’ll be scoring most likely based on the draft position for players, but if you happen to get a trade right, I might throw you an extra point or two

Excited to give this a try and see how quickly things go off the rails

[Guttersniped]

I guess I will reserve a slot too?

 

[RememberTheName]

Lol I didn't mean you guys had to post the words "reserve" on your post. I just wanted that as a reminder that I was reserving the second post for the results of everyone's mock draft, not for you guys t0 have a rule about how you can enter. You can write whatever you guys want haha.

It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
It was a dark and stormy night
Now is the winter of our discontent
Alas poor Yorick, I knew him Horacio
When in the course of human events
I am the Walrus

Monkeys working overtime?

"with the first overall pick in the 2020 nhl entry draft the new york rangers are proud to select… Andre Veilleux"

They misspelled Horatio

I want to reserve a presell, I mean slot. Can I sell my reserve for twice as much on eBay?

 

[njdevils1982]

They misspelled Horatio

give 'em a few more trillion years and they'll get right

 

[Forge]

Debating on playing just so I can pick askarov at 7

 

[njdevils1982]

Debating on playing just so I can pick askarov at 7

im thinking of it also but i would be only be basing my opinions off of other peoples opinions…i have zero firsthand experience with watching any of the players save for a few highlights (which sometimes dont show flaws in players games)

could be a fun experiment to see how i do

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Any trades I list were made on or right before draft day - I didnt list who the picks came from in terms of original owners
I also didnt want to get too specific for deals so Im only listing the basis

NYR 1st - Alexis Lafreniere
LAK 2nd - Quinton Byfield
OTT 3rd - Tim Stuetzle
DET 4th - Marco Rossi
OTT 5th - Jamie Drysdale
ANA 6th - Lucas Raymond
NJD 7th - Jake Sanderson
BUF 8th - Alexander Holtz
MIN 9th - Yaroslav Askarov
NJD 10th (traded from WPG) - Cole Perfetti
NSH 11th - Jack Quinn
FLA 12th - Kaiden Guhle
DET 13th (traded from CAR) - Braden Schneider
EDM 14th - Seth Jarvis
TML 15th - Dawson Mercer
MTL 16th - Hendrix Lapierre
CHI 17th - Connor Zary
WPG 18th (traded from NJD) - Dylan Holloway
CGY 19th - Jacob Perreault
CAR 20th (traded from NJD) - Connor Zary
CBJ 21th - Lukas Reichel
NYR 22nd - Rodion Amirov
PHI 23rd - Ridly Greig
WSH 24th - Noel Gunler
COL 25th - Mavrik Bourque
OTT 26th (traded from STL) - William Wallinder
ANA 27th - Jeremie Poirier
OTT 28th - Tyson Foerster
VGK 29th - Jan Mysak
DAL 30th - John-Jason Peterka
SJS 31st - Topi Niemela

I have us with a WILD draft night! Trade Severson+18th and take on Little+10th+Stanley, also have us trading 20th to CAR for Jake Bean. I assume we use Little for a few years in the bottom-6 then buy him out if we need the cap space - his buyout money is very low at 1.5m as his deal was front-loaded

I have DET acquiring 13th from CAR to off-load one of their defenseman as well as OTT acquiring 26th from STL to take on Steen's contract with a prospect going their way

Very unlikely the Devils have so much movement but I tried to be creative and play to teams needs with the picks and trades. And before anyone kills me for trading Severson, I assume we acquire Dillon in FA as well as have Jake Bean and Ty Smith make the starting roster! This should be another rebuild year for us so im not entirely concerned if the defense is poor this year with Bean, Smith, Bahl, Stanley, and Sanderson coming up!

What are your thoughts @RememberTheName and @StevenToddIves ?! I tried to have some fun with it while making us a better future and attempt to be realistic
