Canadiens de Montréal (2→1)
Golden Knights de Vegas (16→6)| RONDE 1 | ÉQUIPE | ORIGINAL | JOUEUR | DéTAILS |
|---|
| 1 | | - | With the 1st overall pick the Montreal Canadiens are extremely happy to select Shane Wright... Oh boy do I hope we get to hear that on July 7th | |
| 2 |  | - | After pick 1 is where it gets fun. You could see a couple different guys selected here such as Cooley, Nemec, Slafkovsky, Savoie, and even Jiricek. Out of those 6 my favorite is Simon Nemec so that's who I think Arizona goes with. | |
| 3 |  | - | If I was picking at #3 I would be pretty happy and would simply select whichever one of Nemec or Cooley is still available. In this scenario it is Logan Cooley. | |
| 4 |  | - | I think there are better prospects than Slafkovsky available but Slafkovsky seems like such a Philly pick/player and I'd be surprised if the Flyers pass on Slafkovsky if he's available on draft day. | |
| 5 |  | - | The Devils gave up a bunch of goals this year and when you think about their D prospects other than Hughes and Smith they don't have much and even Hughes is more of an OFD than a reliable two way. Jiricek is a big and mobile D man that can be trusted on both sides of the ice. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jiricek go above Nemec similar to what happened with the goalies last year. | |
| 6 | | - | Of course the one time Vegas misses out on the playoffs they move up. If this happens I would not be shocked in the slightest. I prefer Savoie over Kemell but with Vegas they probably want an NHL ready player who can jump in and help right away. Kemell is having a good season in Liiga. His numbers are better than Kotkaniemi who jumped into the NHL in his D+1 and before you say "look how that worked out" we all know Kemell will be traded for McDavid in a couple years... | |
| 7 |  |  | Every time I do a mock and I get to the CBJ pick I bring up how bad the Jones trade was. In terms of who CBJ would look to pick I think there's a name that stands out above everybody else available and that is Matthew Savoie. | |
| 8 |  | - | The Sens have prospects pretty much everywhere so I think they simply go BPA which is Frank Nazar. | |
| 9 |  | - | Same as Ottawa I think Detroit goes BPA due to the depth of prospects they have. Without the Russian factor that would be Yurov so I have them selecting him but nobody knows how much Russian players could be affected this year. | |
| 10 |  | - | There are lots of solid options here from Geekie, Lekkerimaki, and Mateychuk. Geekie is a smart offensive player, Lekkerimaki a great goal scorer, and Mateychuk a solid two way D man. Any of these 3 could go here so I made google randomly pick one and that is Mateychuk. | |
| 11 |  | - | Going off my last pick it's between Lekkerimaki and Geekie but considering William Eklund and Lekkerimaki are teammates I think San Jose would go with Lekkerimaki if this scenario was thrust upon them. | |
| 12 |  | - | Not much to explain here just selecting the final of the 3 players I talked about with the previous two picks. | |
| 13 | | - | After taking Savoie at #7 I think CBJ goes with a defenseman here. IMO the best one available is Kevin Korchinski. | |
| 14 |  | - | I am lower on Lambert than most I just think there's better players available than Lambert based on his play this year. Last year the Isles took a sliding Raty who was in a similar situation to Lambert and that is paying off for them so far so I don't think the Isles would mind taking a chance on Lambert who definitely has the skill and just needs to find his confidence and hope he gets an opportunity to grow in Finland. | |
| 15 |  | - | In most mocks I do I have the Jets taking a D man to fill a prospect weakness as they don't have any notable D prospects other than Heinola. I think that the next best D man available is Pavel Mintyukov. | |
| 16 |  | - | The next guy I have being picked is Cutter Gauthier. He is ranked around here and I think the Nucks would like to add a player like him to their team. | |
| 17 |  | - | Dallas has a nice amount of young guys but also a bunch of older guys on bad contracts so I think they go BPA and try to win asap while Benn and Seguin are serviceable. For this mock I am going to be ignoring the Russian factor as we don't know exactly what it means. Trikozov is having a great season in the MHL and could be a guy picked later who ends up being a steal. | |
| 18 |  | - | At the time of this mock Howard just had a 5 point game to kick off the U18 worlds and he could rise as a result of the tournament depending on how good he plays for the rest of it. Definitely a good pick for Nashville. | |
| 19 |  | - | This is where I think Miro goes. I think whoever takes him is someone who can afford to gamble on a pick and LA is one of those teams. Miro has the potential to be the best goal scorer in this draft class but also has the potential to be a bottom 6 player. His cancer diagnosis definitely doesn't help as he's going to miss about a full year of development. I'm not even talking about the russian factor yet... | |
| 20 |  | - | Edmonton needs blueline help and after taking Bourgault last year (a great pick) I think they likely will. As for who the next best D man is I think it is between Ty Nelson and Lane Hutson. I think the Oilers would not be a fan of Hutson's size and not like Nelson is huge either but I think the Oilers would prefer Nelson. | |
| 21 |  | - | I think that Mesar is a safe pick here for the Caps and it makes sense for him to go here. Mesar is usually ranked around 15-20 so perfect time for him... | |
| 22 |  | - | The Pens could use any good prospects in their system. I like Marco Kasper at this pick and I think it makes sense for the Pens compared to someone that is 3-4 years away as opposed to Kasper who could be 1-2 years away from being an NHLer. | |
| 23 | |  | After taking a forward with their first pick I think the Ducks would look at a D man but IMO there a re forwards that are better options than any D man available rn. One of those guys is Jimmy Snuggerud and he makes sense here for the Ducks. | |
| 24 |  | - | Tampa is pretty good at finding gems and developing them well. One of the most gem potential players in this draft is Lane Hutson and I could see a contender like Tampa reaching for him. | |
| 25 |  | - | Christian Kyrou | The Blues have the chance to do something really cool in having both the Kyrous in St. Louis. It's not like Christian is a mega reach here, he is a good D man who is definitely not going to be available with the Blues's next pick. With Christian in a good environment it is highly possible that he develops into a pretty good NHLer. |
| 26 | |  | With Hutson off the board I think it means the Habs go with a forward again. There are multiple options here with Kulich, Perevalov, Goyette, and Del Bel Belluz. Out of those two I like Perevalov and Goyette but considering the russian factor I think Goyette is more likely. | |
| 27 |  | - | Like earlier in this mock for these picks I'll just have the 4 guys I listed last pick be selected. As said a selection ago my next favorite is Perevalov. | |
| 28 |  | - | I prefer Kulich over Del Bel Belluz but it's close and I can see the argument for both to go here. | |
| 29 |  | - | The final guy of the four I listed at #26 | |
| 30 | |  | With b2b picks and after taking Nemec at #2 I think Arizona will take 2 forwards and build up a future scoring punch. The best guys imo that are available are McGroarty and Firkus. Order doesn't matter but I'll put Rutger first just because of his bigger frame than Jagger. | |
| 31 | |  | ^ | |
| 32 | |  | After taking Mateychuk at #10 I think Buffalo will go forward soon but I like Pickering more than any of the forwards available rn so I think that's the way Buffalo goes. They can select a forward at 41 where it makes much more sense. |
