[Ice Crusher]

Not bad. But Biggs and Saad seems a bit high, they are most likely now to go between 20-30. Zibanejad will be much higher than this, around 7-13. So is Puempel which I think will be around 15-20. McNeill is there twice though.

By the way, if Nugent-Hopkins is still available at 2nd oa....Don't expect him to slip to 3rd oa!

 

[AUAIOMRN]

Mcneil is there twice. And it would be a pretty sweet deal to get Larsson AND Zibanejad, but I don't see it.

 

[Macch]

Not a fan of Hamilton over Couts, Huberduea, and Strome.

islanders need a dman not an centre men im my mind but i dont watch alot of islander games

 

[zeus3007*]

I don't really expect Carolina to take Oleksiak...they seem to prefer to take forwards with first rounders.

Forget needs. Isles take the BPA.

And history shows you can find a good Dman later in the draft. If his name isnt Larsson, the Isles don't take a Dman IMHO

 

[AmericanDream]

would this be the first time ever that Swedes went #1 and #2 overall?? assuming Larsson and Landeskog do go 1 and 2..

 

[AmericanDream]

I don't really expect Carolina to take Oleksiak...they seem to prefer to take forwards with first rounders.

Carolina has some great dmen at this point, I kind of agree and think that they would go with a forward, but whoever the BPA is on their board that is who they should pick, because we all know how deep we are at a certain position one year, then the following year that strength turns into a weakness after a trade, two injuries, and a bust...it happens.

 

[Circulartheory]

Zibanejed IMO is too low

 

[Nocashstyle]

Not bad. In my opinion Murphy/Hamilton are a little too high, and Couturier/Huberdeau are a little too low

 

[bullslugg]

Sharks prospects strength is on D Doherty, Petreki, Wrenn, Braun, Shaus, Irwin, Sena Acolatse, etc. So don't see Mayfield there. If Zack Phillips is still on the board when the Sharks pick, he's their man. Typical sharks forward, strong hockey IQ, lots of skill. I hear he's not the best skater around. (Same knock on Couture as I recall) so I'm not too worried about that. I would be very happy with this pick

30. Vancouver Canucks - joesph morrow

I would love Namestnikov but I doubt Burke would draft him. He likes big north american players. Same can go for Catenacci, but Carenacci has a lot of potential to be great. Burke also said he wants to add some size.

I would think Burke might rather go for Puempel with his first pick and try and get Catenacci at 28 instead.

 

[17Kurri]

Nice effort.

I could live with Larsson/Zibanejad for the Oil!

Musil, Saad, and Biggs seem about 10-15 picks above where they should be based on recent rankings.

I don t want to be a jerk but I dislike most of the picks. If you go with skills you'll have more right then wrong but with how the draft will go you might not even be able to get the top 4 right. Vancouver wouldn't really take a D unless is BPA and Toronto (Burke) love size but like BPA first and won't go with with either pick. Also Rask might endc up a mid 2nd round pick since he have be free fallen down the list. I love the Jurco pick but I don't think he'll go that early. Puempel will most likely go higher arround 15 till 22. Ottawa won't take a russian since they have nothing but bad luck with them. For the last 19 years the ottawa drafted 17 Russian and only one in the 1st round wich was Yashin and the rest except for Hossa didn't play too many game with the club. Also didn't pick any since 2007 like you can see here;

1 in 2007
3 in 2005
2 in 2004
2 in 2003
2 in 2002
1 in 2000
1 in 1999
2 in 1998
1 in 1997
1 in 1993
1 in 1992- the only 1st rounde pick ever wich was Yashin. They have more succes wth cezch. I hope they pick alexander khokhlanchev but they won't i bet. Also Mika Z is way too low. He should even be a top 10 pick. Tyler biggs is too low, same with Musil. the rest is not soo bad except for Sean couturier. Wich he won't get pass the 6th overall. Murphy will most likely get pick up by either Boston or columbus but New Jersey would rather get Hamilton since he bring size with skills.

 

[johnnydollaz89*]

Would love for McNeil.to.fall to the rangers!!!

 

[Eddie Munson]

Not bad. IMO there is no way Zibanejad drops that low though.

Also If Beaulieu and Siemens are both on the board at 9 it makes far more sense for the Bruins to go with the solid PMD type D-man than the shutdown one with limited offensive upside.

Other than that you have some interesting picks but still a solid mock draft.
