Is this the version of the subscription for folks in Quebec? I admit, I read this in Marty Biron's voice.

I prefer this mock for the Pens over TSN's.
 
Same thing with Sharks taking Hrabal at #26... Sharks don't need a goalie that high, they have a lot of work with the forwards and defencemen first.

Back in 2014, I suggested Thatcher Demko as a possibility for the Devils pick at #30. Most NJD fans weren't thrilled with the idea (understandably) since we had almost nothing in terms of forward prospects at the time. We took John Quenneville to unsexy results.

A few of the stat watchers used to have Jake Oettinger as a reason not to take a goalie high, especially with a 7th rounder like Cayden Primeau putting up similar/better numbers in the same college conference. Just for fun, the players that were drafted between Dallas taking Oettinger and Jason Robertson: Shane Bowers, Henri Jokiharju, Eeli Tolvanen, Klim Kostin, Conor Timmins, Kole Lind, Nicolas Hague, Isaac Ratcliffe, Jesper Boqvist, Marcus Davidsson, and Gustav Lindstrom. Some useful players in there, but the F/D in the late first tend not to be surefire NHLers either.

Granted, I definitely liked Demko/Oettinger more than Hrabal.

I respect Pronman but I just don't see Benson dropping to 14. He's a consensus top 10 pick (except for Button). Stranger things have happened but personally, I just don't see him falling that low.

If the Canucks pass on Benson and Smashev, I’ll be pissed
1)Benson
2)Simashev
3)Moore

If any of these guys fall to us we would look like idiots not taking them as they fill every need we have as a team. I doubt Benson falls to us though but if he did and we passed on him I'd be absolutely livid.
 
I scrolled really fast and saw Tom Willander at 11 for the Canucks. I'm okay with Willander but I think I'd like the team to trade down if they are gonna select a dman
 
Pronman is a clown . Look at his past prospect evaluations they are a joke. Him and Wheeler are the two biggest con men in the industry. Next up being Mike Morrealeas
I fully agree.
Having said that, this mock is actually pretty good...at least in my view. There's no way Perreault or Willander go top 10 but the rest of the list doesn't seem too bad.
