ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
---|
1 | - | Chicago- The Hawks are unlikely winners of the lottery. With an abundance of young and old forwards, taking the best D on the board makes the most sense | ||
2 | - | Draft Pick ForfeitedAnaheim- A team that needs everything. With Drysdale last year, they lean into forwards and they love a swede | ||
3 | - | Buffalo- Somehow a guy they need as a hopeful 1c falls into their hands | ||
4 | - | Ottawa- They have a pretty strong variety of young guys, but getting a top tier swedish winger makes sense to me | ||
5 | - | Seattle- With an expert young team of scouts, they are a little sad to see the best forward talent gone, but a young D named Hughes is a big score | ||
6 | - | Detroit- No Lottery again for them, this is bold but what better team to be bold? They have no good goalies in the system or on the team | ||
7 | - | New Jersey-They have the wingers, they have the centers, and they have a goalie. Defense is the way to go, and a young Dman to pair up with Ty Smith in 2-3 years is a no brainer | ||
8 | - | Columbus- Not sure where to start with Columbus, but getting a center seems like it should take priority with PLD long gone, and Laine not working at all. | ||
9 | - | Calgary- Calgary could use a center, but isnt bold enough to take Raty here. Instead they opt for a safer pick in Guenther out of the WHL which they love to draft from | ||
10 | - | LA- Interesting choice here but I think a D makes sense for a team with strong young forwards. | ||
11 | - | Vancouver - A devastated team that just keeps getting worse. Lacking the guidance of a good scouting team, and with Benning full dictator, I think he takes a guy he likes, even if its a reach. | ||
12 | - | San Jose- A team in real need of whatever they can get is pretty happy to catch a falling Raty, who does have some hidden skill. | ||
13 | - | Arizona- Forfieted, random pick | ||
14 | - | Dallas- Take a safe young D to shore up the backend. | ||
15 | - | Philly- Loves high risk high reward, Simon Robertson fits that bill | ||
16 | - | NYR- Final pick of the mock. They have so many forwards on the way, but no premium D are left so they take a shot on a center | ||
