Now that it’s 48 hours to the draft I thought it would be fun to do our own mock drafts. Since there are 3 Canadian teams at 14-16 I will include 11-16. Now this is not my rankings or preferences but simply what I think might happen with a short reason. No trades are being predicted because it’s pretty much impossible to do. Hopefully I do better than 1 out 16 correct.
#1 - NYR - Lafreniere
Consensus 1OA for multiple years. If Gorton keeps the pick it’s a guarantee.
#2 - LA - Byfield
Listening to the former LA AGM say how their draft room was all over Kirby Dach because of his size leads me to believe Byfield’s frame will be the deciding factor.
#3 - Ottawa - Tim Stutzle
Dorion stays true to his word and after a few minutes practicing pronunciation he selects the German kid that sounds like Strudel.
#4 - Detroit - Askarov
Yzerman has no fear of taking his player at any point in the draft and is feeling good about the 1st round huge Russian goalie he took in Tampa.
#5 - Ottawa - Raymond
Dorion and Mann debate taking Sanderson but they settle on the dynamic winger
# 6 - Anaheim - Drysdale
After making the idiotic move to send Shea Theodore to Vegas ahead of the expansion draft Anaheim takes a potential top pair RD when they are unable to drop back a few spots.
#7 - NJ - Sanderson
With 3 picks in the first round of forward heavy draft NJ takes the top remaining D over Quinn and Holtz
#8 - Buffalo - Rossi
Buffalo takes Rossi as their long term 2LC. He will spend next year being mentored by Eric Stall.
#9 - Minnesota- Perfetti
While Guerin was hoping that Askarov or Rossi would fall he selects Perfetti and gets the player with potentially the highest upside in the class.
#10 - Winnipeg - Jarvis
Chevy almost pulls the trigger on Schneider but takes the hometown kid with a non stop motor and a high ceiling hoping to have found Bryan Little’s long term replacement.
#11 - Nashville - Holtz
Poile can’t believe his luck and takes Holtz over Quinn in a coin flip hoping that he can help one of their underachieving centres wake the hell up.
#12 - Florida - Quinn
Florida grabs the best NA goal score available.
#13 - Carolina - Schneider
Carolina adds to their depth on D and breaks Leaf fans hearts using Toronto’s pick to select exactly what the Leafs need
#14 - Edmonton - Mercer
The Oilers try desperately to move down but the rules of my mock say no trades. Holland winds up with an excellent future line mate foe one of the 2 big guns.
#15 - Toronto - Guhle
Dubas strongly considers taking Amorim but goes with agile in a tight race.
#16 - Montreal - Holloway
Bergeron adds size to his forward group with a player who had a disappointing freshman season at Wisconsin.
Hopefully a few of you will post your own mocks
