HF Habs: Official 2019 Mock Draft (Teams are assigned, starting on the 18th)

[OB5]

Damm it I got him at 151th in the early mock draft... Skip him thinking I could still grab him in the 5th round...

No way I was going to pass him up there, people are saying he could go in the second round!

 

[OB5]

2. Jack Hughes
We nearly fell over when we realized he was falling to us at 2. Not a bad silver medal. Hughes brings dynamic acceleration, top-end speed, edgework, puck skills… I can keep going but you get the idea. He makes something happen every shift and competes hard to become the best player on the ice.
22. Moritz Seider
He’s a 6-foot-4 defenseman who skates and moves the puck well, showing great poise and instincts. Defensively, he’s a rock with his wingspan, feet and defensive acumen, and projects as a tough minutes player in the NHL
37. Nathan Legare
He’s got one of the best shots in the draft. He’s scored a lot of goals this season, wiring shots from long distance off a post/crossbar or blowing it past a goalie. He’s a great scorer and that’s where he’ll make his money, but he’s also a very smart overall player. Legare can hit tight seams consistently and is very crafty overall with the puck.
49. Anttoni Honka
Honka is very smart, and his skating and vision make him ideal to quarterback a power play. He's a great puck mover, and his skating is excellent.
62: John Farinacci
A big right shot centre who passes the puck quick and effectively, uses his size to protect pucks and wins the battles along the boards. One of the best passers in high school as he puts but touch and zip on them.A really good skater for a large kid; he needs to work on his first step quickness, but once he is moving straight ahead, he is barreling freight coming down the track.
68: Michal Teply
Has a great shot and good vision. He’s a big goal-scoring winger with a right-handed shot, has a great selection of shots, has an amazing release, is capable of making plays.
112: Layton Ahac
Long lean defender who wasn’t afforded as much situational ice time to raise him to the upper echelons of the draft class, but he shows terrific feet, nice jump, very good offensive talents. Reads the ice and sees those hard to anticipate seam passes and pinpoints them, while in motion. Good size and athletic enough to continue to develop into a solid defender as well as a mailman. Might have the lightest edging in the class, he is a long term project that has a high water mark.

With the 120th overall pick, the Blackhawks select, from Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the KHL, goaltender Ilya Konovalov.

He's not very large, but we love how he competes and how agile he is. At his age, we figure he'll probably stay in Russia a few years like other goalies recently, but we fully expect him to be part of our future, especially with how weak we are in terms of goalie prospects.

Sent PM.

3-Alex Turcotte
43-Albin Grewe
105-Antti Tuomisto
120-Ilya Konovalov

Washington with pick 122 selects Everett defenseman Gianni Fairbrother.

Gianni has taken his top 4 role in stride with Everett this year, contributing at both sides of the ice. This kid has a mean streak and isn't afraid to stick up for his teammates. We would prefer if he learned to pick his fights more sparingly, while continuing to bring that usual intensity. He is progressing similar to fellow Silvertip Wyatte Wylie who was taken by the Flyers last year. With an increase in minutes next season, we hope to see positive development.

Draft so far
1st(29th): Brayden Tracey LW 6'0" 177lbs, Moose Jaw, WHL
2nd(60th): Shane Pinto C 6'2" 192lbs Tri-City Storm, USHL
4th(122nd): Gianni Fairbrother LD 6'0" 194lbs, Everett, WHL

Washington with pick 122 selects Gianni Fairbrother.

Will add more when I get home from work. Can someone PM next?

Done

You could've just had the Vlad pick at 53 and it would've been a good second day.

The New Jersey Devils are proud to select from HV71 J20 of the SuperElite, Hugo Alnefelt (G)

Hugo possesses a prototypical NHL-sized frame, with good positional instincts. While he moves around acceptability, we do feel he does rely on his size a little too much and believe he will need to improve on his overall quickness to reach the next level.

@MarkovtoSubban is up and PM’d.

No!

 

[sandviper]

No!

Oh YES!

To be honest, I wanted Konovalov, but he got snatched just before me.

 

[Mrb1p]

Oh YES!

Number five on my list, scratched...

 

[yoteshot]

Oh YES!

To be honest, I wanted Konovalov, but he got snatched just before me.

Bound to happen at this point

I like seeing Chistyakov go so soon after my pick, he was a guy i was debating here... Not having a pick until 155, I knew I'd have no shot at him though.

 

[MarkovtoSubban]

With pick #128 the Detroit Red Wings select from Duluth East HS RW Ryder Donovan

GM says: "He's a big rangy kid with room to grow. Captain of his High School team and part of that strong U of Wisconsin freshmen class. Maybe he'll get some time on the wing of Turcotte."

 

[Carl182]

Pittsburgh select Karl Henriksson.

Minnesota GM has been notified

This guy in the fourth round is a steal!
