Thread: 2018 Mock Draft 1.0
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FullSend</b></div><div>New York islanders really need RD to lean on in the future, or a nice shut down LD, so I don’t think they pick a forward, I think Dobson is a perfect pick. Besides, Kupari shouldn’t be a top 10 pick anyways, after that pointless WJC and not producing much in the Liiga like his countryman Koktaniemi is doin, but he’s such a skilled player. Also Merkley’s Defensive game alone and rumored locker room character has him being the darkhorse of the 2018 draft, don’t see top 10 pick for him by any means. Elite offense, speed, IQ, agile, will get him 15-45, he’s just not good with his stick, loses battles, needs to work on defending odd man rushes, being on a bad team isn’t helping him. Reminds me so much of a young PK Subban, but could end up being a Ryan Murphy, who knows.</div></div>

Thanks for the comments. Good insight. Appreciate it. I actually was in debate about both picks you mentioned, so I totally agree. My obvious wild card is Tampa at 31 with Slava Demin. I'm sure he won't end up going in the first round, but with the recent success of both the University of Denver and Jim Montgomery players (Danton Heinen, Will Butcher, Henrik Borgstrom, Troy Terry, Dylan Gambrell, Ian Mitchell), I think he's an interesting wildcard. He was also ranking 32 for NA Skaters in the mid terms.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BreKel</b></div><div>McQuaid in the top 4, now that Boston has 2 top 4 RHD's, doesn't give me any good feelings. MAYBE it's an option to start, but I don't see this lasting long.


LW spot seems like a hole with Vatrano there. I think he's one that needs to prove more consistency on the 3rd line before you can throw him into a top 6 role. JFK needs time in Providence and he doesn't seem to be a good option for RW. Let him play big minutes in the AHL at center, where Boston will need him down the road.

Minor nit-picking, but I'd prefer Agostino (or a veteran signed off a PTO) as an extra forward over Cehlarik. If PC doesn't make the team, he should be continuing to develop full time in Providence. He has potential and he will not reach it being an extra forward. Even Kuraly not playing regularly makes me 'meh' but it makes more sense with his upside being limited. If Kuraly made the roster as the extra, I'd want him playing. I like his game a lot. Size, speed, and grit.</div></div>
