HFOil Mock Entry Draft 2018 | Draft Complete!

[Joey Moss]

@McMozesmadness ANA is up

 

[Reginald Dunlop]

My bad on the wait! Knew I had a pick coming soon, just completely forgot today.

select RW Jonatan Berggren

1 (4) - RW, Filip Zadina (Halifax, QMJHL)
1 (22) - RW, Jonatan Berggren (Skelleftea, SHL)

That's some serious skill injection right there. I was definitely thinking of Berggren at 28.

When it comes around the mid-late 1st I would always take a player based on upside rather than a safer pick. I also like guys who raise their stock during their draft year. Berggren checks off both.

 

[McMozesmadness]

The Anaheim Ducks select:

JAKUB LAUKO

 

[The Head Crusher]

60 more picks until I get to make my first selection.

I thought Ottawa had their 2nd rounder.. Gotta wait until the 4th round now.

No Colorado got it. I am late 3rd round, so practically a 4th round pick. Shall we play the waiting game together? Or perhaps Hungry Hungry Hippos?

With the 24th selection in the 2018 HFOil Mock Entry Draft the Minnesota Wild are proud to select Jack Drury, center, from the Waterloo Black Hawks of the USHL.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

60 more picks until I get to make my first selection.

Someone wake me up when Boston is up. We will be sleeping in the corner.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

are proud to select, from the Mississauga Steelheads of the Ontario Hockey League, centre Ryan McLeod

 

[Soli]

select Grigori Denisenko.

@CantHaveTkachev, Chicago is up!

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

the Chicago Blackhawks are proud to select, from Lulea HF in Sweden

Isac Lundestrom

@Reginald McDunlop is up next

 

[Reginald Dunlop]

With the 28th pick Washington selects Serron Noel, RW from Oshawa of the OHL.

@McDNicks17 and Detroit are up next!

All of the cliches seem to apply: size, tools, raw, boom/bust, (very) late birthday. At this point in the draft, and with their current NHL forward depth, the Caps can afford to take a home run swing here (yet another applicable cliche) and let him develop his game in the OHL and AHL. I came away very impressed with Noel at the U18s, namely his skating and hands, which were terrific not just for a player of his size but for any size. I believe he has the potential to impact the game in several ways and that he represents great value at this pick.

Best possible outcome: Blake Wheeler



1 (28) - Serron Noel - CAN - RW - 6'5" 209 lbs. - Oshawa Generals (OHL)
2 (46)
3 (90)
4 (121)
6 (183)
7 (214)

I was very close to picking Noel at 19 so this is a solid pick. Definitely a boom/bust type but if he pans out a lot of teams will be kicking themselves for passing on him.

 

[McDNicks17]

I didn't really want to go with two defensemen in the 1st round, but I really like this guy in the second half of the 1st round.

The Red Wings select Jared McIsaac.

You're up, @Soli

 

[Soli]

select Jacob Olofsson


@ChaoticOrange, you’re up.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

With the final pick of the first round, the St Louis Blues are pleased to select the feisty Frenchman: centre Benoit-Olivier Groulx.

Really like his two way game, leadership, scrappiness and upside. Will fit like a glove in the Blues system.

@Jimmi McJenkins You are up with the first pick of Round 2.

 

[FlameChampion]

Some of the picks from 21-31 went differently than i expected. I always like doing the mock draft because I learn more about guys especially outside of the top 10.

I almost grabbed him @ #17 as well....

 

[Soli]

On the Serron Noel mentions... I gave him some thought at 26 overall, mostly because I have so many picks that I don't mind making some riskier ones and he fit the bill. Went with Denisenko instead though cause I perceived him to be falling (McKenzie), the NYR are building their own lil prospect Red Army, and his package of speed and skill was impressive.

I wanted Berggren or Thomas to be there at 26.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

With the 31st overall pick in the 2018 HFOilers mock entry draft, the Buffalo Sabres select, from Linkoping in the SHL, defenseman Adam Ginning

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

@McDNicks17 you are on the clock at #32

 

[McMozesmadness]

With the 31st overall pick in the 2018 HFOilers mock entry draft, the Buffalo Sabres select, from Linkoping in the SHL, defenseman Adam Ginning

f***...

Thought I'd be able to grab him at 37 for the Nucks.

Heck of a player.

First pick of the 2nd round is 32 now @Jimmi McJenkins haha.

 

[McDNicks17]

The Red Wings select Dominik Bokk.


You're up, @UncleRisto
