trades

What I find as the greatest part of this Mock is that as a Wing fan... this is all gold. If those trades happen, great (remove Johansson and swap Fabbri to Kubalik personally but if not oh well). If they don't, I am also good with all of the draft selections in those spots lol (would swap two of Nelson/Cienik/Lardis/OFM for the 41/42 picks but still). At least from my personal opinion on the Wings (not that it matters) well done.

Also, I don't think that trade gets Connor, and Will Smith to the Blues would be fun.

So from three 1st rounders we take no Dmen? Sorry, man, I don;t get it. Especially if Reinbacher falls to #10.

I think I was ready to go with Moore/Willander with our first two picks but Willander has shot up draft boards making it unrealistic. Smith and Moore really fit the direction this team is headed and to not get one of them would really suck. I would rather not spend the ten pick on a defenseman when there will be a dynamic offensive player available. We do not have a long term 2C and that has to be a bigger priority than a strong defensive dman to go with Krug. I also can’t say I’m wanting to grab another LHD when we have Perunovich, Buchinger, Loof and Rosen already. I like the idea of Jordan Tourigny with our first 3rd round pick. I keep coming back to Gauthier because he’s a front of net goal scorer who’s proven it on the international stage with a solid +/- and not many of our prospects are like him.
