HF Habs: Official Habs Mock Draft 2018 Edition - Complete

[SWRekker]

How does it feel to have 2 picks in just under 3 hours?

Unreal.

But from what i can see in the initial post we won't go past the 5th round ? That would mean i'm already done as well...

 

[Toene]

Colorado selects, from the SKA-1946 St. Petersburg, D Danila Galenyuk with the 109th overall pick

We like his vision and skating. Plays a physical game. Was tried three games with SKA St-Petersburg in the KHL.

 

[WeThreeKings]

We go all rounds. He's just been updating the entire order as we go.

With the 108th pick, the Calgary Flames are proud to select, from the Yale University of the NCAA :

Center Curtis Hall

View attachment 120185

Curtis has tremendous skating for a player his size. Robust, maneuver easily, excellent vision and has a high Hockey IQ. He is really effective around enemy nets. North-South kind of player that possess the scorer instinct.

Woah, I was starting to think he might make it all the way to my 4th pick after I debated long and hard between him and O'Reilly. Just so happens that there lots of USHLers I like this year haha

Liam Kirk from the Sheffield Steelers EIHL.

I think everyone's curious to see where this guy ends up being picked. Good marketing move by NJ, which will become the favourite team in a country that's begging an exciting sport.

The Nashville Predators are proud to select, with the 111th Overall Selection, from the Orebro J20 program from Sweden, forward CARL WASSENIUS.

"Carl Wassenius is extremely exciting to us. He brings good size, a solid frame to continue to build on, and an incredible presence to drive there offense. While his skating could use some work, his knowledge for where to be on the ice is second to none. Carl is a hard worker who doesn't give up on the play. We're very excited to see what Carl can do in a men's league next season."

@Doublechin is up!

When I picked Douglas at 96, Hall was the other guy that was in contention with him. Hesitated for a while, cause, well, I see the same kind of potential in both of them. Took the 6'8 mammoth instead

Noooooooo, I would have drafted him in the 3rd round but thought I could still grab him with my 4th, the greed didn't paid off. @The Great Schlemko didn't had a 4th so I thought I was safe. Great pickup.

 

[yoteshot]

Sorry for the little delay here, with the 113th pick, the LA Kings are proud to select defenceman Martin Fehérvary.

Although we feel like he disappointed a bit offensively this year, it was his first in an men's league and he has proven he belongs, even being selected to represent his country at the World Championship. We like his mobility and his puckmoving abilities and feel he has strong upside at this point in the draft.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Well damn that was my 2nd option, you guys are on point in this draft, I have no outlier left on my list which I would consider to be a steal at this point in the draft.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I've got a couple. There's only one explanation I have for the player highest on my list not being taken yet.

His name is Taro Tsujimoto?

@Pompeius Magnus is up

Just realised that I most have updated my list after I printed it, because he wasn’t even on my printed copy.... He should have been my pick at 99

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

The San Jose Sharks are happy to select, with the 114th pick, from Krasnaya Armiya Moskva of the MHL, defenseman Alexander Romanov.

Pick #115
With the 115th pick in the 2018 NHL Draft the Las Vegas Knight are proud to select from Chicoutimi of the QMJHL

Vladislav Kotkov LW 6’4” 198Lbs


Blessed with size, smarts, puck skills, He isn’t elegant skater but he a deceptively-quick. He is solid one on one and hard for Q defenders to handle on the wall, in the corners and in the slot. He can stickhandle through traffic and pivot away from pressure. Kotkov can play the role of finisher or playmaker and the confidence he exudes is evident the second he collects the puck. Taking it away from him is a tall order, as he has a long reach and strong lower body to maintain balance while keeping the puck safe from looting. His straight-line speed is very good and he requires only two or three strides to hit top speed. He is as good exploiting odd-man situations with his vision and passing, as he is with his hard, accurate shot. Far from a finished product as he needs work on a 200 foot game, more all around intensity, to fill in and get more co-ordinated.

ANA: @Hope Of Glory your are on the Clock
