Mock Draft

King'sPawn · Apr 9, 2007

LA has apparently shown a lot of interest in Turris, so they likely won't pass on him.

mlm · Apr 9, 2007

For real? I mean how many fowards does LA need?

3 goalies in the first round??? i find that hard to believe. sexsmith and smith will have to shine in the playoffs and cann will have to do the same thing in the U-18.

Montreal will not take 2 defenceman in this years first round

mlm · Apr 9, 2007

Edmonton will take a goalie with their third pick (need) thus causing philadelphia to grab next best golie of their choice becauase of need and also they have a pick coming up quickly in the second round and are suspicious of Florida needing/taking second best choice of goalie :0

changed a few positions

mlm · Apr 9, 2007

If Carolina takes Petrecki which could easily happen Montreal would grab Gagner
as he is BPA or If they take a defenseman first Mtl selects either :eek:

i , Moller, or Aliu

why change philly getting Voracek. I think they are gonna get Kane. EIther by force if they get the 2nd overall. Or if by choice with the first overall.

Dont you know there is a new system for the order of the draft? bottom 14 have a lottery, then the 8 first round losers from the playoffs are next, with the least points first, most last. the 4 teams that lose in the 2nd round of the playoffs are next, least points first, most points last. The 2 teams that lose in the conference finals are next, least points first, most points last. The loser in the finals is 29th, and the Cup Champion is last.

So the order for playoff teams isnt near being decided yet.

No. It goes like this:

1-14: The non-playoff teams modified by lottery if needed.
15-26: The teams losing in the first two rounds of the playoffs, in reverse order of standings. The exception is that any division leaders will get the bottom picks.
27-28: The conference finalists that lose out, ranked on points.
29: Loser of final
30: Cup winner

Yann · Apr 9, 2007

I like those top 15 predictions alot, and it would make sense for the teams.

Thats pretty much what i said, or atleast meant, except for the 15-26 being in reverse order of the standings, Is it really like that? why would it be REVERSE order of standings?

Philly traded their 2nd rounder for Biron, but I do agree that they may look to goalie with their second 1st round pick.

i wouldnt take a goalie in the first round just to fill a hole in the dept chart in this draft. the only one who is a borderline first rounder is jeremy smith. none of theme would have been close to the first round in last years draft. i can see one goalie taken in the first round. not three.

It just means what you said - fewest points first, most points last.

There's just no difference between losing out in the first round or the second.

Oh i thought there was, well anyways, I was close...

WeThreeKings · Apr 9, 2007

If we picked Esposito, I'd be sour about it.. but since we have another first round pick.. I'd be expecting a good defencemen.. Blum, Shattenkirk or McDonagh.. Or somehow we steal Mayorov.

Stealth JD · Apr 9, 2007

Esposito, O'Brien & Hoeffel to STL ????

Those are some awfully risky picks.....I'd be shocked if the Blues took 1 of those guys....let alone all 3.

Sutter - Andersson - Moller/Backstrom wouldn't surprise me though.

I'm hoping we get Gagner at 9, Sutter would be nice too.. doubtful he'd drop to the Blues 2nd 1st rounder?

mlm · Apr 9, 2007

Blues can shoot for the fences on a couple picks but I can see Andersson in the mix too
