10th annual "Official Habs Board Mock Draft" 2016 edition (Part 2) - COMPLETE!

[Whitesnake]

Just letting you know guys that the Buffalo picks will be done tonight even if we come to me before. Have too many names......can't screen them all from now till tonight. Thanks.

 

[Grant McCagg]

I like O'Brien as a late pick...there's another kid in PG I like more, though.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

FUUUUUU O'Brien was my guy

Very intriguing prospect.

 

[Grant McCagg]

BTW - multiple scouting sources are telling me Stanley will be picked in the first round of the draft..perhaps as high as 22. I don't think he should be taken that high..but it sounds like it's happening.

Teams will never not love size, so I can definitely see it happening. As long as it's not us, whatever.

Good let another team waste a first round pick. It won't be us and I'm fine with that.

Like we discussed. He is a gamble in the 2nd-3rd range you can justify taking.. A first round pick.. That can hurt ya

Oh boy.... Could be the worst pick since the Poirier/Jankowski back-to-back Flames braincramps.

Wow. Well....we will know in the future I guess but I would not have done that. Surely this year, Stanley is a 2nd rounder. But not even high 2nd round for me. We will see.

Thanks for letting us know. At least we won't b too schocked by it....

Bob Mac's list is usually a pretty good indicator..he's been in there all season I believe.

I'm not getting it..you'd think teams would have learned about overrating tall dmen by now..hard to break old habits I guess.

With their final pick, 181st overall in the 2016 NHL Draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs select Boston College commit, defenceman Luke McInnis.

We like Luke's mobility and offensive upside. He was close to being the highest scoring defenceman on the Youngstown Phantoms as a 17 year old. He is going to a great hockey program at Boston College where he can develop and get stronger.​

1(1): Auston Matthews - C

2(31): Kale Clague - D

[Habs76]

Wow. . . seventh round already?

 

[Habs76]

I like O'Brien as a late pick...there's another kid in PG I like more, though.

I probably look like an idiot for asking this. . . but what's the PG?

Wow. Yikes.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Wow. Yikes.

Prince George.

 

[Habs76]

Prince George.

Oh. . . I didnt knew that.

 

[General Fanager]

Im here...one minute guys

 

[General Fanager]

The Edmonton Oilers are pleased to select. From The Saginaw Spirit Keaton Middleton

Next GM Pmed

 

[CupInSIX]

He's a big guy.

 

[QuebecPride]

:nuck


With the 183rd overall pick , the Vancouver Canucks are enthusiastic(tired of using proud!) to chose, from the Québec Remparts of the Québec Major Junior Hockey League, LW Matthew Boucher!

The son of former Stanley Cup winner and NHL All-Star Phillipe Boucher, Matthew plays the same gutsy brand of hockey of his patriarch. Although he's not the biggest at 5'9'' and 175lbs, he excels at separating himself from the coverage of the opposition. He doesn't possess the best firing arsenal in terms of power yet, but he has a rather accurate wrister. Matthew's the classic case of a player who benefited from being a late birthday, as his numbers were unimpressive prior to his team leading 30-30 season. We think he still has room to grow as his father is 6'2''. Another factor that made our staff love him was the fact that he drives under pressure. In Québec, he plays for his father who is the Coach/GM, and that is one of the toughest challenge a hockey player can face, to play under the padré. His assets actually remind us of another Boucher, Reid de son prénom, but a lot will to fall into place for him fullfill his potential.

With the 184th overall pick, the Columbus Blue Jackets select,
from Allmänna Idrottsklubben (AIK) of the Allsvenskan, center

Fredrik Karlström

Fredrik Karlström is a playmaking centerman with good size. Really came into his own with strong playoffs in his junior league. Also got a glimpse of pro hockey this season. Needs to work on his speed and overall game including faceoffs.

Calgary Flames are on the clock

 

[hototogisu]

The Edmonton Oilers are pleased to select. From The Saginaw Spirit Keaton Middleton

Next GM Pmed

I thought hard about taking him instead of Rubins at 175. I think Middleton has a lower ceiling but is probably more likely to reach it. Decided to gamble anyway. Good pick!

 

[WeThreeKings]

Nice pick with Karlstrom

 

[That]

Calgary selects Michael O'Leary.

Can some pm the next GM please and thank you

 

[GREMLIN]

Calgary selects Michael O'Leary.

Can some pm the next GM please and thank you

Done

 

[eaglesmaster]

With the 186th pick, the jets select defenseman Chase Priskie, from Quinnipac University of the NCAA.

Chase has seen significant progression in his game. He has developed into one of the better two-way defensemen in the NCAA. Chase is a very intelligent player with excellent puck moving ability and good skating. If he continues to bulk up, and learns to play the body a bit more, he could surprise people in a few years.
