For the 5th year now, here is my mock draft for this year. I do write-ups but only in my full version (in French), so here's my condensed version for the picks. Comments are appreciated.
1-Edmonton : Ryan Nugent-Hopkins : They get a great center for Hall for a long time.
2-Colorado: Adam Larsson : Easiest pick of the draft
3-Florida: Sean Couturier : Dale Tallon type of player
4-New Jersey: Gabriel Landeskog : Total package makes Lou happy
5-NY Islanders: Dougie Hamilton : Complete D to support top offensive youngsters
6-Ottawa: Jonathan Huberdeau : Offensive dynamo to rebuild their offense
7-Winnipeg: Mika Zibanejad: Lack depth, especially at center.
8-Columbus: Nathan Beaulieu: Often go to QMJHL, need top D.
9-Boston: Ryan Murphy: Perfect fit IMO, and a steal, too.
10-Minnesota: Joel Armia: Finn connection, plus a great fit there
11-Colorado: Ryan Strome: BPA adds secondary scoring
12-Carolina: Sven Bartschi: Boy, do they like those CHL forwards
13-Calgary: Mark McNeill: Need help everywhere, add grit and scoring
14-Dallas: Oscar Klefbom: Adding a top D prospect cannot hurt
15-New York Rangers: Mark Scheifele: Skilled centers not plenty in NY
16-Buffalo: JT Miller: They go forward with young American
17-Montreal: Jamieson Oleksiak: Big project with homerun potential lures Habs' brass
18-Chicago: Rocco Grimaldi: Skilled guy who leaves it all on the ice... oh yeah, he's small though
19-Edmonton: Jonas Brodin: Safe bet, but rising quickly
20-Phoenix: Boone Jenner: Tough center with 2nd line potential can't be bad
21-Ottawa: Zack Phillips: With Huberdeau on board, better get his linemate
22-Anaheim: Duncan Siemens: Happy to get falling D-man and like his potential
23-Pittsburgh: Tomas Jurco: Skilled wingers not plenty in Pittsburgh
24-Detroit: Joseph Morrow: Project D-man will have time to develop in Motor City.
25-Toronto: Matt Puempel: Top sniper in the draft finally goes
26-Washington: Alexandr Khokhlachev: Yes, they do go Russian again liking his potential
27-Tampa Bay: Tyler Biggs: Solid character guys can't be too many on a team
28-San Jose: Connor Murphy: They like U.S. lower league players and Murphy has solid upside
29-Vancouver: Nicklas Jensen: 'Nucks happy with falling Dane, think they might have a steal.
