My only criticism is I think McMichael goes 7 or 8 spots before that. I have him higher than Pelletier, Leason & Brink as a foward.
Also think Habs would perhaps gamble on Heinola or Harley since they are very weak on the left side but I agree that Soderstrom would be a much better pick.

Solid mock as always

I do think that if the Shana are going defense that they take a left shot.

Pretty much this. Well done Risto always good stuff.

No Spencer Knight in the 1st round?

It’s for two reasons:

1. I really don’t know which teams would be willing to draft him in the 1st.
2. I strongly believe that you shouldn’t draft goalies in the 1st.

Or second. Still pissed about Fucale.
