Red line reports mock draft

[R S]

Don't see what all the complaints are about. It could happen.

 

[BruinsBtn]

I love that he put Kessy so high but I hope he slides to #40 so the Bruins can get him. The talk here reminds me of Lucic who was ranked everywhere as a 3rd rounder or higher. I'd say Kessey has a great shot at the NHL and that makes him a good pick at anything above #25

I agree, I don't think it's that outlandish. Some reaches for sure but there always are some...

Agree with this statement 100%, asides the Bruins picking him up at #40. It's a risky pick for the Canucks to take him at #30 but the ceiling for Kessy is very similar to Milan Lucic's. I wouldn't mind the Canucks trading down a few to take this guy in the 2nd round.

I'd love coming out with Siemens and Saad

 

[GaryU]

The Hawks, a Goalie at 18?

NOT
A
CHANCE

wtf @ people saying this isn't a stretch of a mock draft. there are so many reaches and completely idiotic picks... at 21- morrow? ottawa hasn't even brought the kid for interviews. goalie going at 18 when the hawks have great goalie depth (salak, crawford) and they will be in need of power forwards once they have to pay for everyone else.. this was a terribly uneducated mock draft.

So would you be prepared to "educate" us? Put your first round here, so Friday night we can see how accurate it is. We'll see which one is more idiotic.

"10. Minnesota — Sean Couturier. A big, two-way second-line center would be a nice complement for Mikko Koivu and Mikael Granlund, and might allow the Wild to deal Pierre-Marc Bouchard in return for another piece on the blue line."

Why the hell would they need to do that? This person clearly knows nothing about the Wild needs.

 

[brtriad]

No way in hell the Hawks draft a goalie in the first.

 

[awesomo]

Heard on the radio that Couturier was heavily scouted during the playoffs and did not do well, so Ottawa not so high on him.

 

[OnlyTheBrave*]

23. Pittsburgh — Jamie Oleksiak. They've been trying to replace Hal Gill for two years now — Bingo!

LOL...wow, talk about misinformed.

 

[Qvist]

Which has what to do with the Oilers?

There's about 30 better prospects for the Oilers still on the board at that point.

He isn't the BPA at 19th and he doesn't come close to filling an organizational need.

Really, how hard can this be to understand? There is no objective measure of who the BPA at 19th is. You have one opinion. Scouts will have other opinions. It is quite possible that someone drafting around that slot considers Musil the BPA.

 

[Bronson]

I don't see how this is worse than any other mock draft. It's all based on predictions and speculations.

 

[HanSolo]

Even though my team got a guy I really want...this was a pretty crappy mock. Weird fall for Couturier, Klefbom and Brodin too high, Miller too high, Puempel falls out of the 1st round, Jensen a bit high...and who in the f#@$ is Kale Kessy? I've never heard that name before.

EXACTLY. People here seem to take the more popular prospect rankings like CSS, ISS etc. as gospel when the fact of the matter is every scout for every team sees the draft differently. Just because guys like Musil and Kessy aren't ranked high by some scouting service doesn't mean there aren't some NHL teams that are in love with them and have them in their top 30.

The fact that you have never even heard of Kale Kessy shows just how credible your opinions on prospects are.

Calling RLR "uneducated" is just embarassing yourself, sorry.

It's unbelievable how every year people on this board fall into the same trap. No one on the planet had McIlrath at 10 and Fowler at 12 last year, and it happened. So in a draft as wide open as this one, I don't know why people think anything is a safe bet at this point.

 

[Prussian_Blue]

This is just for entertainment.

Still, with my team in possession of two seconds, wouldn't mind Redline's version being similar to what really happens.

My team is in possession of three seconds, and I concur.

I really hope Bartschi slips like RLR describes, because if he's not taken in the top 15, IMO, he won't be taken at all in the first round... and I have a hunch that the Blues have gotten a few good looks at this kid when they've been in Portland checking up on Brett Ponich.

Having Puempel and/or Saad slip to 32nd overall would be good by me as well.

Take a look at the post counts and join dates of most of the people who are making the disparaging comments about this particular mock...

Red Line is notorious for going way off the board in their picks, and the n00bs don't seem to be aware of that.

Good luck getting n00b to respond to that challenge, Seachd...

Ah yes, because everybody knows there is no greater sign of intelligence than a high post count on an online message board.

I will do it tonight.

it's like high school here. these older guys are afraid of newcomers with different ideas.

In no way does post count/join date dictate knowledge.

that mock had more then just "reaches", It had uneducated picks.

WHAT THE HELL?!

this mock draft is slightly different than the other 40 i've read! this is outrageous! i know absolutely nothing about 90% of these prospects but i know this mock draft is terrible because it is different.
