Cernak is a lightning prospect now

Puljujarvi is already the better player. He has 11 pts in 29 games, Reinhart has 15 in 45... in his 4th NHL season. Puljujarvi could end up matching Sammy's point total from his rookie season... I'm not an EDM scout so I can't say what their valuation of Reinhart is, but I can almost guarantee they like what they see in PoolParty more.

Beaulieu was recently acquired for a 3rd round pick. Mueller was recently acquired for a 2nd and a 3rd... not sure if you have the value right in that trade.

Just curious why you'd pick Kasdorf over Ullmark. Kasdorf played one NHL game and looked awful in it. Ullmark's already better and will be better. Also liked how you picked Svechnikov instead of Dahlin. It made it interesting, and frankly, more realistic, because as we all know, Edmonton will inevitably get the first overall pick.

Everything above plus why not take Boqvist then a forward later, i like Jett Woo but their will be good forwards available in the 20s, Boqvist is a franchise changer

Pretty unfair to call this Reinharts 4th NHL season and call it Puljajarvi's rookie year. Reinhart played 9 games as an 18 year old.

Reinharts year 19 season he had 42 points (23 goals) and didn't get sent to play in the minors. Puljajrvi has 11 points in 29 games or 31 points over 82 games (reinhart played 79 that year).

You're right, but in any case, I think Reinhart is trending down and Poolparty is trending up. Could be a nice change in scenery for Reinhart and he could show why he was picked 2nd overall, but it seems like an unnecessary risk for EDM, that's all.

just wondering about the absence of guys like Mittelstadt, Asplund, Davidsson, Nylander, Ullmark, Guhle and CJ Smith?

Yeah I didn't delve that far into it to show their total depth chart as it's not the team I follow. That'd be a much larger wager than I was willing to bid because I'd surely have some guys out of place if I went all in. I clearly messed some stuff up as I picked a prospect that wasn't even on the team anymore. I was just attempting to move some pieces around in realistic trades with reasoning behind them in order to fairly build a team more capable of winning.

I can't believe no-one has referenced the Bogosian trade.... that was the main point to be made in this maneuvering: A way to get out of the contract while getting a surprise back. Not sure what Hjalmarsson will be, but even if he was the same or worse his contract is up sooner.

I never get this much feedback on any of my mocks, this is literally the worst one I've made and it's got the most action. Seems like the Carrot and the Stick, but they are in the opposite direction.

I liked the Bogosian trade FWIW
