HF Habs: 2023 Early Bird 15th Annual Mock Draft (COMPLETE)

[MarkovsKnee]

This draft seems pretty good to me. 3rd round & I still have players I like. Hopefully a few are there when I pick in 4th (NYI).

OP is updated to the Seattle pick.

Only 10 picks left in 3rd round.

My short list is taking a massive beating with Clara, Misiak and Gibson going so quickly.

Extra D. Sorry, fixed.

My short list is taking a massive beating with Clara, Misiak and Gibson going so quickly.

About the same for me, when Nordh, Mukhanov and Miedema got out, had to take another look at what was left.

But even at the end of the 3rd round, there are players I find very interesting.

 

[Goldenhands]

Sorry guys, super busy.

I will pick Damian Clara

Pm the next guy plz.

Danm, was hoping he would fall to my next pick but had very little hope that happens, I would like the Habs to take a shot at this kid with our third.
