Mock 2020 Top 19 Part 2 (with explainations)

It would be highly unlikely the Hawks draft a defensive prospect that isn't a pretty solid lock as a first liner, such as Sanderson and certainly no right handed guys as you've shown here. On the right, they have Boqvist (19 years old and still a prospect in my mind), Ian Mitchell (top 5 prospects moving to pro this year), Alec Regula (put up a big year with London), and of course existing guys in Murphy and Seabrook. On the left, it's even a bigger logjam with Beaudin, Carlsson, Kalynuk, and Gilbert in addition to the seasoned pros in Keith, Maatta, and De Haan; however the glaring hole is a first liner on the left. That said, there is not that player in the top 20 beyond Sanderson as I don't think Barron is a 1st liner. All that said, in your scenario with the players gone ahead the, I have the Hawks taking Gunler as such.

How has tim Stutzle been getting better by the day while not playing hockey 😂. I agree the kings will take him but I j find that funny

I will be very surprised if Amirov doesn't go in the top 19.

That is very possible, I would think that they might want to build up their defensive depth and try to develop one of these prospects into a first line player. The Hawks offense already has so much talent and skill at both ends of the age spectrum. But like you said Schneider or Barron are probably not going to be first liners so they might go with Gunler

It is very possible that he does. For example the Flames pick is just whoever is available at that point. I used TSN's Draft Ranking to determine who is ranked higher but I do not have the Calgary Flames' rankings. If they rank him higher then Lapierre then they will take him there

now do one for toronto cause we got pittsburghs pick
