Description
The title will probably age horribly lol
ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the New York Rangers-No brainer
2Logo of the Los Angeles Kings-Him and Byfield are neck and neck but I think LA's scouts are leaning more towards Stutzle. So skilled and such an amazing playmaker and is really fun to watch.
3Logo of the Ottawa SenatorsLogo of the San Jose SharksOttawa takes the 1C of the future. Byfield is a very good two way player and if he learns how to properly use his frame, he could become a very dominant player.
4Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-Detroit and Saginaw have quite a close relationship. I think the ressources they have on this kid makes them know what they're getting and I think Yzerman knows how to make this kid the best player he can be
5Logo of the Ottawa Senators-I think Ottawa takes a RW to complete a future top line of Tkachuk-Byfield-Raymond. Raymond will be the perfect playmaker for Tkachuk and Byfield. Raymond also works hard in his own end which is a great thing to have on your top line
6Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-Drysdale fills a massive need for the Ducks. A RHD. Drysdale is offensively gifted defenseman who isnt bad in his own end.
7Logo of the New Jersey Devils-Now the Devils defense is really bad. Sanderson has elite shutdown ability and can chip in offensively. I think he'll be very valuable for the Devils.
8Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-Buffalo fills a huge need for years to come. A 2C behind Eichel. Rossi will be perfect alongside Cozens and Olofsson because of his playmaking ability. He also woeks hard defensively which is quite valuable.
9Logo of the Minnesota Wild-Minnesota just traded Staal. They really don't have a future top 2 centermen. Why not get an elite two way C who is almost NHL ready.
10Logo of the Winnipeg Jets-Trade: Carolina trades picks 13 and 41 to Winnipeg for pick number 10. I see Carolina trading for a guy who has quite a few years of starting left in him. So Askarov won't be the guy for me. Why not take a goal scorer who will complete that top 6 in the future.
11Logo of the Nashville Predators-I have a feeling that Nashville believes in Saros. So why not select a goal scorer, which Nashville is really missing. Johansen could REALLY use a finisher to revive him.
12Logo of the Florida Panthers-Trade: Chicago trades picks 17 and 46 to Florida for pick 12 Chicago gets their goalie of the future to replace Corey Crawford.
13Logo of the Carolina HurricanesLogo of the Toronto Maple LeafsWinnipeg takes a low risk future 2C. With Brian Little's career in question, why not fill a need for years to come with a low risk two way C.
14Logo of the Edmonton Oilers-The BPA in my opinion. So dynamic in the second half of the season and really improved.
15Logo of the Toronto Maple LeafsLogo of the Pittsburgh PenguinsThe Leafs really need grit and physicality. They also need RHD. Why not fill both needs with Braden Schneider.
16Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-Montreal goes for a safer pick in Mercer. Nothing flashy, can defend well is efficient offensively and I think will become a very good second liner in MTL.
17Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks-Florida's pick: They need LHD and they need ones that can defend effectively. Guhle can do that and I think will be a great fit in Florida
18Logo of the New Jersey DevilsLogo of the Arizona CoyotesKHL players are quite hard to bring over from the KHL, but the Devils are in no rush to wait for Amirov who is a great two way winger
19Logo of the Calgary Flames-Reichel is an interesting prospect. I've seen a list that has him just outside of the top 10, and some have him as a second rounder. I'm sure there's a team that will fall in love with his game and Calgary I think could be the one.
20Logo of the New Jersey DevilsLogo of the Vancouver CanucksI love this pick for New Jersey. A very good defensive d man who will really help New Jersey alongside of Sanderson. Those two could really reshape the defense for years to come.
21Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-CBJ's dream scenario. A player who fits their playstyle, hard working, plays well defensively and I think will be great in Torts' system.
22Logo of the New York RangersLogo of the Carolina HurricanesThis is an unbelievable pick for the Rangers. Considering how deep their prospect pool is, Lapierre is a risk I would be willing to take. His injury issues aren't great but if he can get past them, he could become an elite playmaker with Panarin or Lafreniere
23Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-Another risk. Philly is a contender and has a solid prospect pool. Why not take a player with unbelievable skill and can slot into the top 6 if he fixes his attitude issues
24Logo of the Washington Capitals-A big dman with great offense. Has a bit of defensive problems defensively but if he can fix them, he can really become a great NHL'er
25Logo of the Colorado Avalanche-A skilled winger who could become a top 6 player for the Avs. A chance I think they're willing to take.
26Logo of the St. Louis Blues-A low risk winger who can play solid hockey on both ends of the ice. He has a hell of a shot but needs to use it more if he wants to become a better player, he needs to his shot more because his shot is his greatest asset
27Logo of the Anaheim DucksLogo of the Boston BruinsAnaheim goes for a risk. An offensive dynamo who can become an unbelievable 2C behind Zegras in the future, IF he fixes his defense. He needs to defend or else he won't get a chance
28Logo of the Ottawa SenatorsLogo of the New York IslandersFrom what I've heard, he's improved quite a bit so I think he'll be a first round pick and Ottawa has quite a few of RHD.
29Logo of the Vegas Golden Knights-Vegas fills a big need. A RHD. Almost all their d men are LHD. Why not take a solid two way d man who could pan out. Yes he ahd an injury but he is a very solid player.
30Logo of the Dallas Stars-Brisson is a very good playmaking two way center and can shine with guys like Hintz and Gurianov
31Logo of the San Jose SharksLogo of the Tampa Bay LightningSan Jose takes a solid two way center who isn't too much of a risk and can beocme a future contributor

Helge Grans is absolutely not a defensive defenseman. He’s exactly the opposite. His defensive awareness & positioning are pretty bad, and it will take a lot of work to make his defensive play up to NHL standards.

Grans is very good in terms of 1 on 1 play and gap control. Yes he's not the greatest position wise but he can easily fix that with good coaching and considering his toolbelt

I agree I do think he should be top 10 but I think the devils would want to get wingers for Hughes and Hisher.

Points don't mean **** fam. Mukhamadullin has a non-existent hockey iq and is just big and strong. Also Kaiden Guhle has no business being in the 1st round same with Schneider and Barron. Barron is good but too risky imo. Schneider and Guhle are safe picks and you would be better off getting someone like Wallinder or Grans instead. Also Byfield>>>Stutzle imo.

Idk why you base a mock off personal preference. A mock is based on what the teams think of players. LA scouts are leaning more towards Stutzle. Maybe some of these d men aren't first rounders but every year teams end up reaching for d men. Guhle is solid Schneider too. Teams think they can improve a players weaknesses with coaching which means that you cant always draft a perfect player. Mukhamadullin is definitely coachable and can be turned into a very good dman

I agree which is why Tim Stutzle is still in the top 3 for my mock draft if if was just rankings he would be in the 6-8 range. Wallinder and Grans are good and I think they should be in the 1st round same with villeneuve but that is just ceiling. Its just that yes you need a dman but you could wait until the 2nd round where villeneuve, Porier, and others will wait and also the 2021 draft is stacked with dman and there is something called trading for a reason. I think Guhle and Schneider are nightmares in the 1st round when you could take a forward with top line upside and they only have 2nd pair upside. Lastly you can't teach hockey IQ to someone. you can only do so much for Mukhamadullin but he just doesn't have the hockey IQ which is way to valuable to neglect

Well New Jersey may go by a different way of thinking like “well we drafted forwards past few draft let’s go with a defenceman this time who could very well be BPA”

I like the Chicago trade for Askarov, I’d be surprised but It’d be a good move/pick on their end.

im sorry but that is a stupid point and unless you draft drysdale there is no point of taking a dman in the 1st round. They should upgrade their wingers so then Hughes and Hischer have some good wingers on their side. tbh taking sanderson in the top 10 is stupid imo.

you cant take ****s like that seriously when they have Stutzle at 2, Raymond at 8, Quinn at 9, Holtz at 10, Guhle and Schneider in the 1st round, and Mukhamadullin in the 1st round.
