Ik I said I would make this draft day, but ima just make it now.
1. selects Rasmus Dahlin D Frolunda HC (SHL)
Yeah, shocker!
2. selects Andrei Svechinkov RW Barrie Colts (OHL)
Pretty sure Carolina confirmed that they were gonna select him, so another easy one.
3. selects Jesperi Kotkaniemi C Assat (Liiga)
That's right I fell into the hype, but this is purely because this seems like the move that Montreal is gonna make, if I were the GM of Montreal I would most certainly not make this move. Although I'm a fan of Kotkaniemi, I just don't like the fact he's going to Montreal, I don't want another Galchenyuk where's there's constant trade rumors, etc. I hope he can succeed in the situation, but I just don't trust the Habs management.
4. selects Filip Zadina RW Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL)
Ottawa is able to grab the 2nd best forward in the draft IMO. Great hands, speed, scoring ability, great prospect for the Sens.
5. selects Brady Tkachuk LW Boston Univ. (NCAA)
The Yotes get their former captain's son. Just too good of a story to passup, and also a bruising winger with good passing ability is not a bad choice.
6. selects Noah Dobson D Acadie-Bathurst Titan (QMJHL)
The Red Wings are drafting a right-handed defense-man no matter what, and if they don't, then Ken Holland should be fired. (well maybe if they select Wahlstrom I'll be okay w/ it)
7. selects Quinn Hughes D Univ. of Michigan (NCAA)
I think no matter what Hughes will be a Canuck, I think for the past 3 mock drafts I had him going to Vancouver. Just a solid offensive defense-man and is arguably the 2nd best defense-man in the draft.
8. selects Oliver Wahlstrom RW U.S National U18 Team (USHL)
A dark horse to become one of the best prospects to come out of this draft IMO, and going to Chicago could probably help too, if he plays on a line w/ Kane or Toews that could definitely help him to dominate in this league.
9. selects Evan Bouchard D London Knights (OHL)
After trading McDonut, the Rangers need to stock up on some defense-man prospects in order to retool that defense, especially if their able to sign a Kovalchuk, or some of the other top forwards in the free agency class. But yeah, draft defense-man.
10. selects Joel Farabee LW U.S National U18 Team (USHL)
I do like Farabee. And imagining him playing alongside McDavid or Draisaitl would be amazing, a very underrated winger in this draft.
11. selects Adam Boqvist D Brynas IF (SHL)
12. (CGY) selects Joe Veleno C Drummondville Voltigeurs (QMJHL)
13. selects Barrett Hayton C Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (OHL)
14. (STL) selects Vitali Kravtsov RW Traktor Chelyabinsk (KHL)
15. selects Ty Smith D Spokane Chiefs (WHL)
16. selects Rasmus Kupari C Karpat (Liiga)
17. selects Rasmus Sandin D Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (OHL)
18. selects Isac Lundestrom C Lulea HF (SHL)
19. selects Grigori Denisenko LW Loko Yaroslavl (MHL)
20. selects Bode Wilde D U.S National U18 Team (USHL)
21. selects Dominik Bokk LW Vaxjo Lakers (SHL)
22. (PIT) selects Mattias Samuelsson D U.S National U18 Team (USHL)
23. selects K'Andre Miller D U.S National U18 Team (USHL)
24. selects Martin Kaut RW HC Dynamo Pardubice (Czech.)
25. selects Akil Thomas C Niagara Ice Dogs (OHL)
26. (BOS) selects Serron Noel RW Oshawa General (OHL)
27. (NSH) selects Nils Lundkvist D Lulea HF (SHL)
28. (WPG) selects Alexander Alexeyev D Red Deer Rebels (WHL)
29. (TBL) selects Jared McIsaac D Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL)
30. (VGK) selects Jonaten Berggren RW Skellefteå AIK (SHL)
31. selects Jett WOO D Moose Jaw Warriors (WHL)
I went 6/31 last year so hopefully I can improve this year!
