It is rumored that Edmonton Oilers could be taking Griffin Reinhart as the 1st overall pick, so I made a new top 15 Mock with some analysis. Here we go.
1. Edmonton: Griffin Reinhart
-Rumored to be on Oilers' radar. Could go as the first overall
2. Columbus: Filip Forsberg
- I think in Columbus the "Russian factor" is maybe the biggest, so they take a guy whom they really like in Forsberg.
3. Montreal: Nail Yakupov
- Too good player to pass for Montreal. Ranked as first, but slips till Montreal's turn.
4. NY Islanders: Matthew Dumba
- Islanders are rumored to be really interested in Dumba, so he goes there, in fourth turn.
5. Toronto: Alex Galchenyuk
- Maple Leafs having lack of leader center in their organization. Gets it with Galchenyuk.
6. Anaheim: Mikhail Grigorenko
- Anaheim having more lack in offense prospects, take Grigorenko with their pick.
7. Minnesota: Ryan Murray
- Minnesota is lucky to get Murray with this pick. No-brainer.
8. Carolina: Teuvo Teräväinen
- Carolina take skilled Finn with their pick. Teräväinen will be a good pair with Skinner on power play.
9. Winnipeg: Jacob Trouba
- Winnipeg gets a good defenseman prospect, where is bigger lack than in offensive end. Trouba is a leader and a good pick right there.
10. Tampa: Cody Ceci
- Tampa Bay and Steve Yzerman take a good defenseman with their pick. Yzerman knows that you build champion teams with defense first.
11. Washington: Radek Faksa
- Washington picks a much-needed center to their system in Faksa.
12. Buffalo: Morgan Rielly
- Could be a steal of the draft. Rielly missed most part of season, but will be a great pick there for Buffalo.
13. Dallas: Olli Määttä
- Dallas gets a great, maybe the most balanced defenseman in this draft. Määttä was great in playoffs with London.
14. Calgary: Hampus Lindholm
- Calgary takes a defenseman, who has prove that he can play against men in Allsvenskan and Lindholm had a big role in Rögle's promotion to Elitserien.
15. Ottawa: Slater Koekkoek
- Ottawa gets the player whom they wanted in Koekkoek.
1. Edmonton: Griffin Reinhart
-Rumored to be on Oilers' radar. Could go as the first overall
2. Columbus: Filip Forsberg
- I think in Columbus the "Russian factor" is maybe the biggest, so they take a guy whom they really like in Forsberg.
