HFHabs 2020 Mock Draft - Completed

[Schooner Guy]

With the #128 pick, the Los Angeles Kings select from the USA U-18 Program....goaltender Drew Commesso.

Drew is a quick and athletic goalie with outstanding technique, positioning and calmness. He also has decent size. We believe he has a good chance to be a starting goalie in the NHL. Drew has committed to Boston University for the upcoming season where we expect him to get the lion's share of starts.

LA Kings picks:
#4 (1) - Jamie Drysdale - RD - Canada
#35 (2) - Eemil Viro - LD - Finland
#48 (2) - Emil Andrae - LD - Sweden
#55 (2) - Jaromir Pytlick - C- Czech Republic
#66 (3) - Ty Smilanic - C- USA
#80 (3) - Yan Kuznetsov - LD - Russia
#97 (4) - Dylan Peterson - C - USA
#107 (4) - Dmitri Zlodeyev - C - Russia
#128 (5) - Drew Commesso - G - USA

Really wanted Commesso

Haha!! I had to go through the picks multiple times to make sure he wasn't already taken. Something tells me he'll be gone long before the 5th in the actual NHL draft.

I actually want to pick 2 gooalie at 124th and 130th, Bednar and Commesso maybe I should have started with Commesso at 124th since I knew Bednar might of had better odd of falling at 130th even if he was first on my list... It almost work out...

With #130 pick in the 2020 NHL draft the New Jersey Devils are proud to select, from the Dynamo Moscow of the KHL.

LW Bogdan Trineev 6’3” 180lbs

Bogdan plays a classic power forward game, using his big 6-foot-3 frame to bully his way around the ice, getting into the dirty areas to score goals or laying down hits to give the opponent something to think about. While his skating and shot are still very raw, they are good enough to support his physical gameplan. While his scoring totals are nothing special, he has been able to produce points at the MHL level, as well as with Russia’s U18 team, where he played on the top line. Despite not being the most skilled skater or the strongest forward in the draft, he has that intangible compete level that could make him a future NHLer even without a first-round toolkit. Due to his somewhat raw but developing skillset, he is not expected to break into the NHL immediately, and even if he never reaches his full potential, it would still be a worthwhile attempt. If given that time however, there’s a chance that he could become that 2nd or 3rd line power forward that every team dreams of having on their roster.

#6 LW Lucas Raymond 5’10” 168lbs
#10 C Anton Lundell 6’2” 181lbs
#17 RW Dawson Mercer 6’ 171lbs
#99 D Thimo Nickl 6’2” 161lbs
#116 D Simon Kubicek 6’2” 198lbs
#124 G Jan Bednar 6’4” 183lbs
#130 RW Bogdan Trineev 6’3” 180lbs

@MrNasty is on the clock and has been PM

 

[MrNasty]

Buffalo will pick yet another defensemen by selecting LD Jacob Truscott from the US NTDP.
Truscott is a great skater considering his frame. His primary role with the NTDP has been as a shutdown defensemen but he has a lot of untapped offensive upside as evidenced with his offensive vision and ability to move across the offensive blueline to find lanes to the net while working the powerplay. Truscott has the potential to be a solid 4-5 d-man in the NHL.

8) Cole Perfetti, LW
38) Justin Barron, RD
100) Daemon Hunt, LD
131) Jacob Truscott, LD

Next up is @TT1 I will PM

I like that pick! If I wasn't getting Commesso at 128, Truscott was next on my short list.

are proud to select, from the Loko Yaroslavl in the MHL, C Pavel Tyutnev.

"A player who, on paper, would likely be thrown in the ‘undersized Russian group’, but there is a lot to unpack in his game. Offensively, he’s always a threat on the ice. He uses a mix of skating, strength, and speed to move the puck with ease, and creates danger with his shooting and passing. Think of any offensive tool, and Tyutnev has it. He has no issues getting into the dirty areas of the ice, in fact he loves it, it does cause issues because of his size, but his puck control while being pressured by defenders is something that always stands out. His shot is not particularly strong, but it's a precise one. His 1v1 skill also shines, he reads the opposing movements very well. All in all, a small but gritty center who'll need to bulk up if he wants to continue playing his way at the next level." (dobberprospects)
