Well, here we are. You get the honour of closing out HF BOARD MOCK DRAFT 2.0

You mean it's not going 15 rounds?

 

[OHLTG]

You mean it's not going 15 rounds?

"With the 279th pick, the Windsor Spitfires take... Random McBowlerson, Bill's 10th cousin four times removed. He's 5'3 115 pounds but he has heart and plays a mean banjo in the penalty box."

In the first post CHL-NCAA agreement OHL Priority Draft, there is some measure of uncertainty as to when the top US players will be selected. Drafting US players, even those committed to the US NTDP, no longer present a massive risk for OHL team as in the past. GM may be willing to select a player that can play in the OHL, after two years of development with the US-NTDP, especially if it aligns with their OHL team’s rebuild.

Having prefaced my Round 2 Mock Draft with those uncertainties, my focus was primarily on the Ontario based players (with a few exceptions).

ROUND 2…an extension to those 1st rd players selected by hf board members. Teams with multiple picks are bolded.

24 Kitchener - Cannon Thibodeau USA (RF) - Toronto Marlboros GTHL (5.10 / 155)
25 Guelph - Carter Kunopaski (LD) – Ottawa Valley Titans HEO (6.01 / 190)
26 Sarnia - Cruz Reznik (G) Toronto Red Wings GTHL (6.03 / 180)
27 Peterborough - Alex Forrest (LD) – Oakville Rangers OMHA West (5.10 / 150
28 Owen Sound - Lincoln Edwards (LF) – Don Mills Flyers GTHL (5.10 / 160)
29 North Bay - Jack Johnson (RD) – Toronto Marlboros GTHL (6.02 / 180
30 Windsor - Reid Hayes (RF) –Windsor Jr. Spitfires Alliance (5.11 / 155)
31 Peterborough - David Buchman (LD) – Ottawa Valley Titans HEO (5.11 / 170)
32 Ottawa - Alex Campeau (LF) –Eastern Ontario Wild HEO (6.02 / 155)
33 Sudbury – Vaughan Barr (G) – Huron-Perth Laker Alliance (6.00 / 170)
34 Erie - Matthew Perreault (RD) – Toronto Titan GTHL (6.00 / 165)
35 Barrie - Jax Pereira (LF) – Toronto Jr. Canadiens GTHL (5.10 / 160)
36 Guelph - Sam Roberts (RF) – Toronto Jr Canadiens GTHL (6.01 / 175)
37 Flint - Aleksandr Sementsov (LF) – Halton Hurricanes OMHA West (5.09 / 155)
38 Sudbury - Matthew Henderson (LD) – Huron Perth Alliance (5.11 / 160)
39 Brampton - Carter Lewandowski (LF) – Vaughan Kings GTHL (6.01 / 190)
40 Saginaw - Trevor Daley Jr. USA (LF) Florida Alliance North (5.10 / 170)
41 Owen Sound - Karsten Barbeau (RF) – Ottawa Myers Automotive HEO (6.02 / 180)
42 Sarnia - Johnny McLaughlin (INJ) (LF) – Lambton Jr. Sting Alliance (6.00 / 160)
43 London - Alexander Milojevic USA (LF) Chicago Mission (6.00 / 170)

…there are still several other ONTARIO based players (and US) that belong in round 2, but I took a few strategic chances on US players and a player injured all season (but a top-end talent) .

Certainly would be interesting to see a few others 2nd round mock drafts by individuals or groups for comparison and for fan bases to take a look at.

[EOtterstracker]

Keaton Ardagh, Toronto Jr Canadians to Erie.

Good pick. Unfortunately just saw this or else I would’ve participated as well. He would’ve been my pick too.

 

[Section5Petes]

Without further ado, @Sam14 and I present the final results of the 2nd annual HFBoards 1st Round Mock Draft! Thank you to all who participated!

 

[Sam14]

Post #1 Added OHL CENTRAL SCOUTING VIDEO PLAYER PROFILES for 20 of the 23 players selected in the Mock Draft .

 

[Sam14]

As a reference, all 23 players selected in our Mock Draft now have their OHL Central Scouting Video Profiles uploaded on post 1.

 

[OMEGARAZER]

This mock draft seems to be going well so far after 3 picks lol

Really goes to show how close everything was up near the top.

 

[leafs4life94]

OHL drafts are always a crapshoot but I think HFBoards' first round missing almost every slot, and having 3 players not picked at all in the first three rounds (and a fourth picked with the fi Al pick Friday) shows how dumb HFBoards is as a collective

But hey - that's not surprising if you've read some of the comments around this place...
