HF Habs: Official Habs Mock Draft 2018 Edition - Complete

[The Great Weal]

The Montreal Canadiens select from the Calgary Hitmen, Defenseman - Vladislav Yeryomenko.

Nice. That was one of the 2 guys I was hoping fell.

 

[Yoshidas Island]

Just realized I didn't PM next GM, will do that now.

 

[OriginalCanadian]

The Ottawa Senators are proud and surprised to be able to select from the Peterborough Pete's: Pavel Gogolev

"Plays on a horrendous Peterborough team with only one other good player (Semyon Der-Arguchintsev) must have meant that a lot of people didn't get to see Gogolev. Gogolev is blessed with breakaway speed and hands that work in unison with his fast feet. He has good scoring ability and often finds the back of the net. A talented speedster who could fill a Grabner or Byron role in the NHL with some work on rounding out the rest of his game"

I've seen him play a couple times this year. Saying Gogolev and Der-Arguchintsev are the only two good players left on the team is an incredibly accurate statement.

 

[Habs76]

are pleased to select, with the 129th overall pick, from the University of Minnesota-Duluth, NCAA....

double overager,

LHD Scott Perunovich

"Scott is the best overage defenseman in the draft. He's undersized, but defends well and is willing to throw his body on the line to keep the puck out of his net. Perunovich has great hands to go alongside his blazing speed, and stands out big time in the NCAA against young men, as a freshman defenseman."

Robertson isn't terrible. But he's tiny.

Checked & didn't see this player taken, so:

The Vancouver Canucks are pleased to select from the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the QMJHL RW Yegor Sokolov


A big winger with soft hands & excellent puck protection skills, Sokolov loves scoring & isn't afraid to use his big body to get involved physically. However, he needs to work on his skating quite a bit if he wants to get to the NHL. Has heavy feet.


Sokolov is expected to go late 3rd to 4th rd in the draft so I'm happy to take him early 5th. Good value here.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

@Natey with Nashville is next.

 

[Natey]

Nashville selects the "I'm half asleep, don't have time to get my list, and have to go to work pick in the draft" from Blainville-Boisbriand Armada of the QMJHL, centre Luke Henman.

"Luke has very good vision of the ice. He's got a surprisingly decent shot that he doesn't use enough, but his ability to find teammates or create offensive chances from nothing is tremendous. Luke needs to work on confidence in himself as well as being more consistent. He needs to add bulk to his decent sized frame and get involved more physically. We're excited to see what the future holds."

@Fozz is up.

 

[Fozz]

NY Rangers pick D Declan Chisholm of the Peterborough Petes.

Smart, poised and slick skating defenseman that has excellent mobility and very good top end speed. He has a good frame, defends well and makes accurate outlet passes. He struggled upon returning from a high ankle sprain that saw him miss 14 games in the middle of the season.

9 - Quinn Hughes, LD, USA, University of Michigan, NCAA
28 - Ty Dellandrea, C, CAN, Flint Firebirds, OHL

Wait no.

Two.

With the 134th pick, the New York Islanders are proud to select from the Baie-Comeau Drakkar (QMJHL), Xavier Bouchard, D

Xavier is a well rounded defenceman who we feel has some potential. While has has a decent skillset, Xavier is a big kid and as he fills into his frame, this should improve his board work as well as his shot. We will be monitoring his progression in his D+1 season with some interest.

NYI Picks thus far:

11. Vitali Kravtsov
12. Brady Tkachuk
41. Jesse Ylonen
43: Liam Foudy
72: Niklas Nordgren
103: Dmitry Zavgorodniy
134: Xavier Bouchard

@calder candidate PM'd

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Really like your draft thus far @sandviper Nordgren at #72 is especially great value.
