[Habs76]

Rodrigue was too early, but Blade Jenkins is crazy kind of value at this point, like wow.

You don't like my picks ?

You have the right to, don't worry, but... why ?

Ill be blunt... The Rodrigue pick is horrible.

Ill be blunt... The Rodrigue pick is horrible.

Well, wasn't sure if it was too early or not, saw him late 2nd to late 3rd in some mocks, and was the No 1 NA goalie for the NHL Central Scouting, BUT had the impression he was a reach, as I think goalies this year are pretty weak overall, did a coin toss between him and Skarek (or Starek, not sure), and it was Rodrigue... oh well thanks for your bluntness

Yup, thanks CC for moderating this and thanks to all of the participants this year. It was fun and I learned a lot about some prospects I wouldn’t have thought about outside this mock.

I’m only disappointed with the middle top-10 picks as I expected McCleod to be called right around pick #3...

 

[Habs76]

I guess since everyone's doing this, I'll do mine for jokes: Potential UFAs: Marcus Karlberg, Alexander Zhabreyev, Montana Onyebuchi, Daniil Isayev, Michal Ivan.

Rodrigue is better than Skarek so you did fine.

Gregoire was signed by SJ's AHL team and he has some weird clause, i think whoever drafts him has to bring him on their NHL roster or something?

First, thanks to CC for taking care of things and a big tumbs up for all you guys for making this a great mock draft. I got lucky this year with team assignment and had a chance to make a ton of picks.

Here's a summary of the Ranger's draft:

9 - Quinn Hughes, LD, USA, University of Michigan, NCAA
28 - Ty Dellandrea, C, CAN, Flint Firebirds, OHL
29 - Serron Noel, RW, CAN, Oshawa Generals, OHL
39 - Jacob Bernard-Docker, RD, CAN, Okotoks Oilers, AJHL
48 - Jay O'Brien, C, USA, Thayer High School, USHS-Prep
70 - Albin Eriksson, LW, SWE, Skellefteå AIK, SuperElit/SHL
90 - Luka Burzan, LW, CAN, Brandon Wheat Kings, WHL
101 - Joey Keane, RD, USA, Barrie Colts, OHL
132 - Declan Chisholm, LD, CAN, Peterborough Petes, OHL
163- Dennis Busby, RD, CAN, Flint Firebirds, OHL

This shows a clear preference for skilled and mobile defensemen that move the puck well.

When was he picked? Curious

Good job! Nice haul for sure

 

[L4br3cqu3]

At 65.

Perhaps a bit too early.

Goalies rarely are sexy picks.

wow thats a good draft too. Not high on Noel and I think theres probably a dozen players id choose over him at that spot but that pretty much a 6/7 for ur top 7.

 

[Habs Halifax]

At 65.

Perhaps a bit too early.

Goalies rarely are sexy picks.

Actually, I don't mind Rodrigue at 65. I am high on him. I'd be happy if the Habs drafted him with the 66th pick. Rodrigue and/or Primeau to replace Price when they are age 25. Lindgren, McNiven, Hawkey are likely gone by that point.

Was more a contextual pick, thought that goalies would be about to get picked, took a look at what Arizona had in their pipelines, and thought it would be nice to add a nice goalie prospect.

BUT, like I said, twas contextual, honestly don't want us to grab another goalie this year, I think we have glaring needs other than Goalies and RHD, namely LHD and, especially, Centers.

Wouldn't be that mad if we did, though, but would take a long look at those picked after him

So you don't draft BPA at the 66th pick?

Like I said. Drafting Rodrigue is about Price's replacement. Primeau and Rodrigue would be good pieces to insert into our line-up 8 years down the road

Played for the USNTDP this year. Fantastic skating LHD.
