Good mock. I think the first 5 picks go in that order, no matter who is picking them. Obviously, Michkov is the wild card here, but I still think he's a top 5 pick, even though he won't be here for 3+ years.

I think DET is Moore's floor. If you take the scouting report for Dylan Larkin and change the name to Oliver Moore, it would match perfect. I think DET would love another Larkin.

My only concern is I think Dragicevic is the 3rd Dman drafted. So much focus on RHDs now, he should go before Gulyayev (I think you could make an argument he should go before ASP, but I could see the other side of that one too).

If Charlie Stramel is still on the board at the end of the first day, I hope that the Ducks take him at the start of the second.

I will remember you in my PRAYERS weekly if the Kings get to select Carson Bjarnason.

If MTL draft Smith at 5, i can't see them pass on his linemate Perreault at 17 if he's still available.

If not, Honzek would be a great pick. Another huge Slovakian winger.

I cannot imagine for one second the Blues going anywhere near Dragicevic. Berube would strangle him by day three of camp. The other two picks are reasonable, though they might prefer Danielson over Dvorsky.

I agree but also wouldn’t complain if that was Kasper Halttunen either

"When was the last time no defenseman were picked in the top 10 ? I can't recall"
1983. This would be the year for it to happen.
