Abruzzese and Aslandis in the first round? They aren't even ranked on most lists and might not get drafted. Ahac and Alnefelt are also mid-late round picks.

Pretty bold for a mock draft.

ya not happening this way !

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Um what... Nashville passing on Dorofeyev, Brink, and Suzuki to take a 20 year old over ager, who will more than likely go undrafted or if he does get taken it would more than certainly be the 6th or 7th Round. Ok...

I changed it, didn't realize he was over 20. I just expect to go off the board if not trade the pick.

 

[flyersdad]

i would be surprised if fletcher takes someone out of the Q instead of someone from the USNT or Sweden but we will see who is truly running this draft for the flyers because they do not mind taking people out of the Q. This was fun. I could see someone like Ahac getting drafted high. I think its more likely its Ryan Johnson or Vlad Kolyachonok but no one had Filip Johansson going in Rd 1 last year.

If we were gonna go with an over age guy, Leason would be the one exception, but I like Heinola, he’s one of the few defenders I wouldn’t mind seeing to Nashville.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

lol if Newhook falls to the Rangers at 20 I would cream my pants, not gonna happen though

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Man if Dallas has the choice between Seider, Newhook, and Soderstrom I would be so excited. I like your mock draft because there are surprises, but it makes sense for each of these teams based on their needs.

 

[free0717]

First thing the Devil's at taking Jack Hughes. Also He shook
won't be there at 20. I really like this kid McMichael. Great Hockey Sense

 

[JThorne]

Wait, you expect the Sabres to possibly move up from 7? Why in the world would they do that when it's generally agreed that the top 7 are the cream of the crop?

 

[loadie]

I would be pissed if the Habs picked Pelletier over so many better prospects. Not sure if you think the Habs grab Pelletier because of the French name or not. I see Pelletier being grabbed mid second round. Newhook is someone I hope is there at 15.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Why would Boston take Layton Ahac?

Cam York is listed twice
