From the Sharks side of things I don't agree with this mock. They need defense and there are good defensemen available that wouldn't be reaches for them at all of their picks other than 1. If they win the lottery and get Celebrini at 1 I don't see them going for Boisvert at 14 with guys like Yakemchuk and Jiricek available there as well as Stiga at 33 and Humphreys at 42 with guys like Elick, Badinka, Sahlin Wallenius, and Freij still available. In general you want to go BPA, but there's reasonable argument that the listed players are better than the selected ones AND they fit a need. If they lose the lottery and end up with Levshunov or something they are more likely open to other positions, I just don't see them using 4 picks in the top 42 in a defense-heavy draft and not selecting a single defenseman.

Devils would be pumped to see Lindstrom fall but that unlike and its more likely they trade back cuz they dont need anymore dmen and teams will wanna move up if a dmen drops.

Blues I wouldn't take MBN, they are stacked with wingers.

For the Sharks Stiga and Celebrini alone would make them the winners of the draft. I have Stiga at #8 on my board. However, I don't agree with the Boisvert pick, I think Yakemchuk is a better option. I'm not a Sharks fan, but RD is their biggest need.

Kraken take Parekh, Flames take Helenius or MBN, then the Sabres take Silayev.

The rest is reasonable. I love how you don't play it safe and go with a lot of bold takes.
