If Craig Button's "NHL comparables" for his mock draft are correct, then there are some real mistakes in the draft order:
Connor Geekie at #15 is comparable to Adam Lowry, who has a career high point total of 29 points. After him there are a couple of players (Snuggerud, Kulich, MIroshnichenk, Yurov) who are compared to Marian Hossa, Filip Forsberg and Jake Guentzel. Imagine wasting a good pick on Adam Lowry and missing out on Forsberg, Hossa or Guentzel? I realize this happens all the time in drafting, but the team that takes Lowry over one of those three will be kicking themselves.
I hope if Montreal moves up in the draft it is not for the purpose of taking Geekie (assuming C. Button is correct). HA!
