Speculation: KOTR's Fan Base Mock Draft(Your pick has been made)

[LAKings88]

Shout out and stealing this idea that was never followed through by Candy Canes. Thought it would be interesting to try it again as I liked the idea originally. Also a chance to change history if you voted in the last go round. Trying to make it through the entire first round before the draft.

Currently on the clock: Minnesota (Your pick has been made)

Rules:

I will be making posts on teams main forums, so look out for yours when your team is up to pick! When the team is up to pick, the fans of that team will post their player they want drafted with that pick. After about 24 hours at 8:00 AM (Pacific) the player that was said the most on the forum will be the team's selection! If a tie breaker happens to be needed I will give that team extra time until the next vote is cast.

-You as a voter, can only vote once.
-You can only select one player.
-Of course like a real draft, once a player is selected they can not be drafted again.
-Please make your pick clear and separate your commentary where possible.
-Thanks for participating.

The entire mock will be updated on the Mock Board section under KOTR's Fan Base Mock Draft.

Defenseman from St John, QMJHL

Colin White, C, USNTDP

Joel Eriksson Ek, Färjestad.

A very competitive center who uses his size, skill, and skating to power to the net and create scoring chances. Possesses an elite-level shot, great vision, and slick puckhandling skills; as a result, it's no surprise that he has a natural knack for scoring big goals. Offensive catalyst, but also defensively responsible. Plays a creative, 200-foot game. All-in-all, an intelligent, scoring center that is productive at both ends of the ice.

Daniel Sprong, RW, Charlottetown QMJHL

Sure, he is another RW. But he brings offense in spades. He is like nothing in our prospect core and it is easier to draft a 2-way center (White, Erikson Ek) in the 2nd+ round than a RW sniper that could be a 30+ goal scorer at the NHL level.

Denis Guryanov, Togliatti 2 (RUS-JR.)

Dennis Schellenberg of Scouting-Factory.Blogspot.ch (Apr. 22nd): Strengths
1. Shot
2. Offensive Play
3. Size/Strength


Area’s For Improvement
1. First Steps
2. Defensive Game
3. Lacking experience in pro league


Scouting Report:A typical Russian power forward with good size and an absolute rocket shot. Loves to fire the puck and uses his whole shot arsenal to score. Shoots whenever he finds an open lane. Like many Russian players, he has good hands and is decent in 1vs1 situations. Uses his big body to make room for plays and brings himself in good shooting position, often wins corner battles. Is a good puck protector as well. Tries to be more responsible in his own zone but still needs to improve his defensive game. Has good top speed but his first steps could be more explosive. Finishes checks and has good balance. Guryanov is an offensive threat whenever he is having the puck in the offensive zone and can be an effective power forward because of his overall competitiveness, strength and great shot.
