Fiala certainly plays a style that the Ducks love. He's fast paced and offensive. A very good future winger for Getzlaf and Perry as he's a better offensive version of Bonino and Cogliano, both speedy forwards that they tried with the pair. Great pick at that spot.
No I don't actually.
Hard not to like the pick at 11th..there's no way he drops out of the top ten at the draft. I'd be very surprised if the Leafs took Nylander over him..he could be the Leafs number one dman down the road. They already have a skilled undersized winger.

Poked the bear!!!!!
Seems to be going significantly slower than in previous years.
We're better than this guys.
Playoffs baby
The year we finished in the basement we practically zoomed through the first round because the whole board had been draft-watching since, like, February

I think Yarf would be gutted to miss his first pick, but yeah... no one got a list from him or anything, huh?

Sorry for the delay guys - I didn't know it was my turn (I also haven't checked HF all day, the unthinkable I Know)
With the 13th Pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft the Washington Capitals are proud to select...
From the Niagara Ice Dogs of the OHL... Brendan Perlini!
We knew Brendan falling to us was a bit of a stretch but when we realized that he may be available it was a no brainer.
We love the fact that he oozes offensive skill, and his professional approach to the game. He is a very bright player who we feel could be a top player on our club at some point.
Next GM PMd.

With the 14th selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft the Dallas Stars are proud to select from MODO of the Swedish Hockey League, Forward, Adrian Kempe.
"Kempe is one of the youngest players in the draft and has already shown some production in the Mens League of Sweden. Kempe combines a great frame with speed, skill and a willingness to throw hits and go to the dirty areas of the ice. We also believe that the U-18s displayed development in his stickhandling and his heavy shot makes him dangerous from anywhere on the ice."

No I don't actually.
I think he's an extremely underrated d-man. With TONS of raw potential to grow his game even more. Team that will get him will be a lucky team.

I won't lie, Hayden Fleury was my #1 choice if he fell to Washington. But when you have someone like Grant at the helm it's hard to pull of those epic picks ;-)

Great pick WTK. I will be shocked if he still is available when the Habs will pick. That's about where I'd have him. Surely not after #20.
First off, I want to thank HabsFan18 for organizing this fantastic mock draft. I also would like to thank all the others GMs for participating and wish them good luck!
With the 15th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, the Detroit Red Wings are proud to select from the Guelph Storm, centre, Robby Fabbri!
Fabbri is a highly skilled and competitive player. Although undersized, Fabbri shows no fear and thrives in high traffic areas. Fabbri possesses great hands, a heavy shot, and great vision, allowing him to be one of the most dynamic players in the OHL. Fabbri is blessed with an extremely high hockey IQ, as well as great skating ability. His lethal combination of agility, hands, and hockey sense make him extremely hard to contain. Fabbri is also a highly dedicated defensive player, already owning a two-way ability well beyond his years.
I'm a huge fan of Fabbri. I personally believe that he should be a top-10 pick and is right up there with fellow OHLers Michael Dal Colle and Nick Ritchie.
Next GM has been PM'd.

Surely one of the guys that skyrocketed the most on my list. He is a top 20 pick for me too.
I really like Kempe, but in talking with several scouts..he may not even be a first round guy for some teams. There is some Eller in him..doesn't always see the ice the best or have much creativity. I had him top 20 for most of the season, but after scouting his U-18 and getting some more feedback, I dropped him to the 25-30 range for the Hockey News draft rankings.
Having said that....there is a wide divergence of opinion in this year's draft...not just at the top..but all the way through. I can't guarantee that Kempe won't be picked top 15....that's the beauty of the draft, especially this year.
