NHL Entry Draft: The Next Ones Mitdterm Edition Mock Draft

[UpsideHockey]

Here's my latest in depth mock draft, complete with a simulation of the lottery.

- Yes, the 1st overall pick lands in Alberta...

- Auston "Powers" to the 'centre of the hockey universe?!

The stars are aligning to make this one crazy mock:

If the Canes take a D in the top-7 of this draft, I fear Raleigh may burn...or would if it were more of a hockey city.

They quite simply don't need another defense prospect under any circumstance...what are they going to do, put Juolevi at RW? They have a singular need system-wide for wings. It's a waste to use a top-10 pick on a LHD when we already have Hanifin and Fleury...we don't need to go 3-deep with projected 1D on the left-side.

12. Ottawa Senators: Julien Gauthier, RW, Val-d’Or (QMJHL)

Size. Shot. Skating. A offensive power forward’s hat trick of goodness. 30 goals in just 32 games played thus far.


Love the pick at 12

I think any mock that doesn't have Matthews going first overall is flawed. You take BPA regardless of positional need.

Then, to add to that, you draft positional need for the Flames over BPA and then ignore positional need for the Jets at number 6, who have Kyle Connor and Nik Ehlers as high-end winger prospects, but only one LHD prospect worth discussing.

Puljujärvi 1st overall in Calgary Flames are you kidding me?.
As a Finnish perspective i wanna see either of those 2 Finnish wingers to go 1st.

But it won't happen this summer.
Matthews is and stays 1st overall.

 

[Ennui]

Not that any player drafted after the top 5 is a sure thing, but why would the Wings draft DeBrincat over Krys, a highly talented defenseman, in order to address their need to develop more defensemen? BPA just doesn't cut it there, and the selection doesn't address an area of need.

Avs would draft Dubois or Gauthier not a D-man. Eventually people might realize this.

 

[Ace]

Hey this one went for the gusto and put his team first in the "random" lottery

The odds are incredible around here. Ottawa fan gets Sens to 2... 2 Leafs fans get Leafs to 2... Flames fan gets Flames to 1.

Guys should be playing the actual lottery

 

[canwincup]

Vancouver would take Dubois over Jones, actually Benning might take Jones......but I would prefer Dubois at 10 if the draft fell that way.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Looks at lottery winner, sees location. Conspiracy theory.

Keller at 16 and McAvoy at 22 would be amazing for AZ.

 

[FlareKnight]

Well I certainly wouldn't complain if it turned out that way for the top end of the draft .
