Who will be the biggest surprise pick as in goes a lot higher than typically mocked?
Maxim Strbak. I think he'll jump into the first round as an RD choice for MTL at 31 (and Slovakian selection).

Strongest opinion you have on this draft?
Either Bedard will go at 1, or Reinbacher will go at 6

Favorite later round pick:
Cameron Allen. He could be having a down year this year and if he's taken in the second round or lower, he might become a steal.

I'll add a question of my own:

Who will be the biggest surprise pick as in goes a lot lower than typically mocked?
I think Dmitri Simashev will fall down to the 30s or even the 2nd round cuz he's Russian
