ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the Ottawa Senators-Recent reports have stated that Dorion has drawn interest in Clarke. Usually he takes whoever he wants. Arguably its the best choice, Clarke complements well with Chabot or Sanderson.
2Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-The Red Wings take a defenseman that will play with Seider for the next 10 years. Power is probably the most complete defenseman in the draft.
3Logo of the San Jose Sharks-The Sharks need everything at the moment, so I have them taking the BPA available.
4Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-With the speculation regarding Eichel, the Sabres should take a center with top-line potential. Beniers is probably the most complete forward in the draft, he has everything a GM wants.
5Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-Zegras needs a sniper, and Guenther would be that sniper. He has one of the hardest shots in the draft.
6Logo of the Seattle Kraken-The Kraken take the BPA available, regardless of position.
7Logo of the New Jersey Devils-The Devils fill their need of left-shot defenseman. It also wouldn't be bad to bring in another Hughes brother.
8Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-A bit off-the-board here, but Sillinger solves both their issues of lack of center depth and scoring. He has NHL bloodlines and is a talented goal-scorer with great IQ.
9Logo of the Los Angeles Kings-The Kings have a deep prospect pool, so I have them taking the BPA regardless of position. Eklund would complement well with Byfield or Turcotte. Even though he's undersized, its a high reward.
10Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-The Canucks have a lot of outstanding forward prospects, so they should grab a defenseman regardless. Off-the-board here, but Ceulemans has top-four potential.
11Logo of the Arizona Coyotes-
Draft Pick Forfeited
12Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks-The Hawks need right-wingers or right-defenseman. Ceulemans has been taken so instead they take Lucius, who projects to be a right-winger in the NHL.
13Logo of the Calgary Flames-The Flames should draft Lysell if he's available. I don't see him falling any further than this.
14Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-Even though the Flyers need defenseman, I don't see Johnson falling any further.
15Logo of the Dallas Stars-The Stars go BPA available, regardless of position.
16Logo of the New York Rangers-The Rangers get the perfect complement to Lafreniere. In the future, Lafreniere will be a 60 assist forward with Stankoven on his line.
17Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-The Canadiens are currently lacking center depth behind Kotkaniemi and Suzuki. Bourgault plus Caufield equals magic.
18Logo of the St. Louis Blues-Regardless, the Blues should take a defenseman to replace Pietrangelo. Svozil doesn't as high of a ceiling as Pietrangelo, but he's the best available.
19Logo of the Winnipeg Jets-The Jets not only fill in a team need, but they also grab a player who plays in their backyard.
20Logo of the Nashville Predators-The Predators solve their issues with their special teams with this pick. Coronato can quarterback a power play and penalty kill.
21Logo of the Edmonton Oilers-The Oilers should take Cossa, but Holland doesn't like taking goalies in round 1. Instead they address their secondary need, which is a physical forward. Right now the Oilers are lacking physicality up front, L'Heureux is the most physical player in the draft.
22Logo of the New Jersey DevilsLogo of the New York IslandersThe Devils like taking Russian players so I have them taking one here.
23Logo of the Boston Bruins-The latest reports surrounding Boston is that they are having trouble scoring goals. Pastujov is a talented goal-scorer who can also provide some physicality.
24Logo of the Detroit Red WingsLogo of the Washington CapitalsYzerman likes taking goalies in the first round. He does so here by grabbing Cossa. Its honestly a steal as he is a projected top 20 pick.
25Logo of the Columbus Blue JacketsLogo of the Tampa Bay LightningThe Columbus GM likes taking Finnish players. That theme or trend will continue on here with this pick.
26Logo of the Minnesota Wild-The Wild lack star power behind Kaprizov. Othmann is a talented goal-scorer who can provide star power up front.
27Logo of the Columbus Blue JacketsLogo of the Toronto Maple LeafsAfter taking two forwards, the Blue Jackets should draft the best defenseman available.
28Logo of the Colorado Avalanche-The Avalanche take the BPA here, regardless of position.
29Logo of the Minnesota WildLogo of the Pittsburgh PenguinsThe Wild add to their weak center depth with this pick.
30Logo of the Florida Panthers-Defensive depth behind Ekblad is very thin. The Panthers should draft the best defenseman available.
31Logo of the Carolina Hurricanes-The latest reports regarding the Hurricanes say that they want a defenseman. They take Morrow here.
32Logo of the Vegas Golden Knights-The Golden Knights take the best player available, regardless of position.
ROUND 2TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
33Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-Not only are there trade speculation surrounding Eichel, but it is rumored that Reinhart may be traded. They take the best winger available.
34Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-The Ducks took a forward with their last pick, I expect them to take a defenseman here.
35Logo of the Seattle Kraken-Once again, the Kraken go with BPA available.
36Logo of the Vegas Golden KnightsLogo of the New Jersey DevilsThe Golden Knights continue to take the BPA available, regardless of position.
37Logo of the Arizona CoyotesLogo of the Columbus Blue JacketsSince the Coyotes had no pick in the first round, they should take the BPA available, regardless of positon.
38Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-Now the Red Wings select their future No. 2 center behind Larkin. He is undersized, but Yzerman has shown that he doesn't care about size.
39Logo of the Ottawa SenatorsLogo of the San Jose SharksThe Senators draft a player that complements well with Stutzle after taking a generational defenseman.
40Logo of the Los Angeles Kings-The Kings draft a left-shot defenseman to play alongside Doughty.
41Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-The Canucks take the best forward available with this pick.
42Logo of the Ottawa Senators-The Senators will go for the position they haven't gone for yet which is goaltending. They go off-the-board here and take the best goalie available. Gaudreau had a strong showing during the U18's.
43Logo of the Arizona Coyotes-The Coyotes continue to take the BPA available, regardless of position.
44Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks-
The Hawks go off-the-board and fill their need for right-shot defenseman.
45Logo of the Calgary Flames-The Flames go for the BPA available, regardless of position.
46Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-The Flyers finish filling their need for defenseman with this pick.
47Logo of the Dallas Stars-

Not realistic as teams can only drop 2 spots, So Buffalo can't finish any worse then 3rd overall.

Hawks don't need right defensive guys with Boqvist, Mitchell, Regula as the future and a very solid Murphy as the best defender on the team as of now. What they need is LHD prospects at least a 2nd liner but moreso a first liner.

The lottery is only 2 spots this season. The Detroit is good they could go with Beniers if they were in the spot but I think Power is the best option.

This is a pretty good mock draft


Also here on CF we have something called the GM Game and with the draft approaching we could use someone like you. It's basically the NHL but with 32 CF users ( we had expansion already ) at the helm of an NHL teams doing trades, waivers, free agencies, drafts and everything like IRL.

So, would you be interested in joining as AGM? A platform other than CF ( Email, Twitter, etc ) would also be needed to talk with your GM
