[kfan22]

So it sounds like there are concerns with Rossi size and skating its possible he could fall to #9

I doubt Ottawa passes on him twice, in all honesty

Also the concern that he is a finished product. I however think it is stupid to call someone that is 18 done.

I would be genuinely suprised to see him go top 5. Anaheim at 6 is where it get’s interesting. Rumors are that Ottawa like Raymond, Sanderson, Quinn and Askarov at 5. Apparently Melnyl wants the goalie.

I thought I read something over the weekend saying some scouts see Rossi as a winger in the NHL. Is that a common opinion and does anyone here see that?

I think there is a real shot he will end up as a wing, however everyone that drafts him will be trying to work him out as a centre long before switching him to wing.

It’s a real possibility. He has excelled down the middle at every level so far as a 2-way guy, but there’s no denying the data that says nobodies been able to play center at that Hieght for extended periods of time.

Would you still have him at #2 if his long-term position was winger?

Is it time to flex our mocks yet?

I had Byfield and Stutzle swapped (honest mistake, who wouldn't)
Raymond one slot from where he went
Nailed 6-9
Sanderson and Perfetti basically swapped, missed the mark on those two
Askarov and Jarvis swapped two spots apart from each other
Guhle one spot before he went

I figured with the draft right around the corner we can all post our rankings and we could also take shots at a top 15 mock draft. I’ll preface this by saying all these are my own actual opinions and I tried to base them solely on my viewings of the players. It was also hard to get games in the European junior leagues so there are a fair amount of players that I have simply not seen enough of to include in my top 20.

Rankings:
1. Lafreniere
2.Rossi
3.Perfetti
4.Raymond
5.Stutzle
6.Byfield
7.Sanderson
8.Jarvis
9.Holtz
10.Drysdale
11. Askarov
12. Amirov
13. Ryan O’Rourke
14.Perrault
15.Mercer
16.Schnieder
17.Lundell
18.Grans
19. Guhle
20. Reichel

Just Missed: Mysak, Holloway, Quinn, Zary

If I get some extra time, I will try and break down my personal opinions of the players.

Mock:
1. NYR: Lafreniere
2. LAK: Stutzle
3. OTT: Byfield
4. DET: Raymond
5. OTT: Askarov
6. ANA: Holtz
7. NJD: Sanderson
8. BUF: Rossi
9. MIN: Perfetti
10. WPG: Drysdale
11. NSH: Jarvis
12. FLA: Guhle
13. CAR: Quinn
14. EDM: Lundell
15. TOR: Schnieder
16. MTL: Amirov
17. CHI: Mercer
18. NJD: Wallinder
19. CGY: Lapierre
20. NJD: Perrault

Let’s see who can get the closest on the mock

As you can probably guess, I’m very happy with this draft so far.
