TB (Zaddy Zads) is skipped.



With the 38th overall selection in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, the Vancouver Canucks are pleased to select from the Ontario Hockey League's Kitchener Rangers, left wing Adam Mascherin.

Prolific scoring winger that combines an exceedingly high work ethic with speed, skill, and a mature approach to the game to overcome size differentials. An intense competitor with a booming shot, Masherin finds ways to score by outworking the opposition. He may not be the tallest player on the ice, but he isn't a lightweight either. He plays a fast, heavy game and isn't afraid to battle against tougher opponents. All-in-all, a lightning rod kind of player that will exceed expectations and bring energy to the game with each shift.

(1-8) D Olli Juolevi - London (OHL)
(2-38) LW Adam Mascherin - Kitchener (OHL)

I got skipped? I didn't even get a PM...

I'm in like 4 mocks simultaneously so without getting a PM there is no way I can keep track of all of them 100%. I try to check every thread every day but sometimes I miss it.

Anyway I'll make my pick shortly...
