Am I the only one doing this with all 31 picks?

Alright, anyway:

In the minutes before the draft, Vancouver and Edmonton agree on this trade:
VAN: Milan Lucic, pick #100 (4th rd), EDM's 2nd round pick in 2020
EDM: Loui Eriksson

Vancouver starts things off with a trade when they're hosting the draft. Last time I suggested this trade I was told Edmonton wasn't giving up enough. I had Lucic+3rd+6th for Eriksson. Would Lucic+2nd+4th be more realistic? Ericsson is the better player and Lucic has the extra year.

People on the draft show: "So, it'll be interesting to see who Carolina takes ... wait, here's Gary Bettman."
Fans: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Bettman: "We have a trade to announce. Carolina trade pick #28 to Buffalo in exchange for pick #31 and pick #67 (3rd rounder)."
#28 - Buffalo - Ryan Suzuki
#29 - Anaheim - Connor McMichael
#30 - Boston - Brayden Tracey
#31 - Carolina - Nils Hoglander

I know I had some bold picks in here, but we always see surprises at the draft.

My mock draft:

No Nolan Foote?

Shocker, the Flyers fans on social media hate the pick. Philly Jabroni needs to straighten these nerds out.

don't see the logic in edm drafting another LHD we needed skill on the wing and didn't get it. don't get me wrong broberg seems like could be a solid nhl player, just does fit edm needs and there were better players overall available.

Edm passed on: Caufield, Krebbs, Zegras, Podkolzin, and Boldy to draft this kid. He better be good or else this pick could look ugly especially when rivals got skilled forwards.
LAK --> Turcotte
ANA --> Zegras
VAN --> Podkolzin
VGK --> Krebbs

Holland doesn’t rush prospects likely won’t see Broberg in NHL for 4 years right around when Klefbom could be gone or in last year. With some of the forwards dropping into the 2nd round Kaliyev, Leason, Brink, Lavoie still chance at picking up decent forward early in 2nd round

Well if Toronto drafted the next Gretzky, some fans would still be mad

I hope Simon Holmstrom turns out to be something good, but i'm good with this pick and i'll believe in this kid because he was apparently the consensus pick between isles scouts. The biggest reach for me was Seider, like, even he was surprised he got picked so early. Kaliyev is gonna take this personally and use it as motivation, the kids gonna be a hell of a player and whoever picks him should thank the hockey gods a team that could've used a skill goal scorer (*cough* *cough* isles) didnt take him. Lavoie im not high on, so i didnt mind seeing him drop to the 2nd round, although he'll go 32nd or 33rd. I wanted Tomasino, so Nashville got a great player in him. Also, LA got extremely lucky because i thought Turcotte was gona at 3. The Knights are also gonna love their pick. But i think the team that got the best haul (besides the Devils and Rangers) is the Avs. Byram is a future No. 1 and im high on Newhook, that team is set for the future. In 2-3 years imagine a starting lineup of Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen Byram-Makar. All that team needs now is a future franchise goalie and even though they didn't get Knight, this is still a deep goalie draft.
