Final Central Scouting Rankings mock draft

Please don't listen to central scouting. The highest McTavish is really gonna go is maybe 6 or 7 and even that's generous. They take Beniers with that pick imo.

Ducks GM Bob Murray just talked to the press and said they're going BPA regardless of position, so have to think Power/Beniers is their pick

People are putting WAY too much stock into the u18s with regards to Mason McTavish. Same with Othman at 10.

This year is a bit of a wild card with teams general lack of ability to scout and most players not being able to play. That said, most people would agree the top 10 are relatively set. The only thing we’re not sure of is who goes where. After that it really could be anyone’s guess. I also think this is the first draft in a few years were none of the top players are NHL ready for next season.

There's noway Detroit's taking Wallstedt at 6th, If Luke Hughes is still on the board Yzerman takes the local kid over Wallstedt.

Yeah Luke Hughes isn't falling to Vancouver at 9th. like i stated up above Yzerman would 100% take the local Detroit kid with the 6th pick.

Hmm. Do you know what Detroit's plan is for their future goaltender? I don't follow them too closely but I thought that this would be a good pick, consider they don't really have a young goalie on the nhl level

L know you don't take Goalies at 6th, They're a crap shoot and we've far too many holes that need filling to waste our time on a Goalie with the 6th pick. We can use the Caps 24th pick possibly add one of our many 2nd round picks and move in the high teens early 20's and take Sebastian Cossa if need be.

Very good point

Yes because it’s always a bad idea to have a great player at the most important position that you coincidentally currently lack a great player in
