[Manny*]

Can't see Ottawa taking Strome ahead of Couturier or Klefbom ahead of Armia.

Siemens looks a bit high, and I think Boston would take Zibanejad instead.

 

[DaveG]

I'd love to see the Canes snag someone of Kucherov's skill level in the 2nd, but I just don't see them going after a Russian at all in this draft. I think Rutherford has an allergy to Russian draft picks or something.

 

[Kenny Bania]

Can't see Ottawa taking Strome ahead of Couturier or Klefbom ahead of Armia.

Or Murphy. And Ottawa has Chicago's second.

 

[Pyke*]

As noted, 48th overall is the property of Ottawa.

Can't see us taking Klefbom or Strome.

 

[Flash20]

sabres will take Scheifele if he's there

 

[Erza Scarlet]

I like the Leafs picks.

 

[Rhaego]

Change Huberdeu with Landeskog and then its perfect, from an Avs perspective

 

[R8Devs]

I don't see Hamilton being the first d-man picked in the draft.

 

[Robin Lehner*]

Can't see Ottawa taking Strome ahead of Couturier or Klefbom ahead of Armia.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[DJB]

As noted, 48th overall is the property of Ottawa.

Can't see us taking Klefbom or Strome.

Ugh what?

He is definately in the running for our 6th pick.

 

[airforceones25]

Love the Anaheim pick but don't think he'll last til 22

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I'd be pretty happy with a Huberdeau and Murphy draft for the Avs. Tons of dynamic offensive talent and they both really stepped up their play in the playoffs. It would be a year or two before they would contribute in the NHL, but I'm alright with that.

 

[TYayo]

It's SAINT JOHN!! not Saint Johns....

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Love the Leafs picks, but I doubt Puempel and Grimaldi fall that far.

 

[Seguins Dragon*]

No chance Boston passes on both Murphy and ZBad for Siemens.

 

[wej20]

This is the 2nd mock I've seen that has us taking Joel Edmundson which is interesting. Shero an co never draft guys out of the WHL so I doubt it happens.

 

[KovalSNIPE]

Absolutely no chance in the world we choose Hamilton over Larsson. That's just ridiculous.

 

[Bills09]

I like Rattie but if we pass on Scheifele for him ill be pissed.

Scheifle
Puemple
Grimaldi would be awesome

 

[Hawaiinleaf]

I like the leafs picks if they plan to move to Midget league...total opposite of what BB has said all year size and nasty...

This draft has 2 more Kadri sized players...fat chance

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Id be pissed if Oilers drafted Sproul at 31 over Musil, Biggs or Jaskin. And at 19 id rather have Klefbom then Jenner. But thats just my opinion.

 

[GM17*]

It's SAINT JOHN!! not Saint Johns....

THANK YOU. jesus.

And Hamilton over Larsson? xD hahaha

 

[Gnashville]

I'd love to see the Canes snag someone of Kucherov's skill level in the 2nd, but I just don't see them going after a Russian at all in this draft. I think Rutherford has an allergy to Russian draft picks or something.

Ditto with the Preds and Alexander Khokhlachev. Polie basically said after Radulov bolted that we have seen the last Russian drafted by the team.

 

[Celtic Cross]

Khokhlachev plays for windsor in N/A he's not coming overseas to play also he's Ryan Ellis teammate
