My Final Rankings

Gotta say I’m hoping for either Lundell, Sanderson or Jarvis at the jets pick

Does Washington really pick this late? They lost in the first round

Yes and no, the 28-31 seeds go to the final 4 teams in the playoffs. Pick 27 up to 24 go to the remaining division winners from the regular season in order of final points (P% in this case). Since both St. Louis and Washington are eliminated, the Capitals are positioned to draft 26th overall. If Tampa eliminates Boston this round Washington will draft 25th instead but that is the earliest they can draft. Regardless of if Vegas wins or not they are the lowest seeded team of the division winners and will not change the Caps draft position.

Yeah Lundell is top priority in my eyes. He is the type of player Chevy should be trying to trade up for if he feels he won’t fall to 10

Probably but I feel a lot of GM's in front of you are thinking the exact same thing. He is arguably my favourite player in the draft. I personally doubt he's available at #10 so I went with the remaining players and I think Jarvis is a great fit. He's a year younger than Dach and put up 25 more points in 4 less games

Lundell top priority for sure, but wouldn’t mind Jarvis at all, think he’s my favourite player in this draft

If Lundell manages to fall to 10th of course, but I doubt it

yup, think Sanderson would have to go in the top 10 for a chance of that happening.. looks pretty doubtful with his University agreement though

Even then I think it's him and Quinn. Basically Rossi has to be available at Minnesota's pick which should never happen

Agreed, the Wild need a center even more then we do and good chance they view Lundell as a potential replacement for Koivu... kinda torn here cause I cheer for the wild as well

I think Rossi is gonna be gone pretty early and Perfetti could potentially fall, (like u stated) as well as Sanderson being the biggest wildcard of where he gets picked

10/10 Top 20. I agree with every single pick.

Great mock. I only disagree with Lapierre being so high(won't be surprised if he drops to the 2nd), and Rodion not being in the top 15. The rest are very good observations imo.

I really want to have Amirov in the top 20 but I couldn't think of who would take him. Maybe Montreal? It would have to be a place with a strong enough Russian influence to convince him to make the jump.

Lapierre is interesting, of all the centers available after Lundell he probably has the highest ceiling. Like I said, high risk high reward pick.

Thanks for the great explanations of draft rankings, I didn't know about all that.
On Holloway, sometimes when you see a guy too often you focus more on his flaws and they become a lot more obvious to your scouting eye, we'll see at the draft but if they pass on him that could be a reason. I think Montreal -with the depth of their prospect pool- could go land Schneider in the first round and let him dev a while, he'd be a great fit with our top two RD slowly aging and you never have enough RDs as their trading value's off the roof. If they add him Montreal would be set for a decade with a heavy hitting back end, Romanov, Schneider, Struble, Fleury, Juulsen and LeGuerrier or Fairbrother if they develop well are all though guys.

Very good insight on your draft selection. As an Oilers fan I would be ecstatic for either Quinn or Askarov

Thank you for your thoughts and efforts. The explanations are insightful especially at the top of the draft. My only disagreement is with only one Dman going in the top 10. Too many GMs place a high value on this position.

This draft is extremely forward heavy and Sanderson is the only defense that could also really go top 10. The issue with that is his commitment to University
