3 OTT (from SJ) - Stutzle

5 OTT - Raymond
6 ANA - Drysdale
7 NJ - Holtz (torn here because they love drafting 67’s)
8 BUF - Perfetti
9 MIN - Lundell
10 WPG - Sanderson
11 NSH - Rossi (steal of the 1st round)
12 FLA - Jarvis

26 STL - Gunler
27 ANA (from BOS) - Brisson
28 OTT (from NYI) - Niederbach
29 VGK - Poirier (all offence D and best Dman on offence)
30 DAL - Foerster
31 SJ (from TB) - Greig

Also, we want to hear Ottawa call the name of Ty Tullio early on day 2. Trust me. We could use O’Rourke’s brand of nasty on the backend too.

1 NYR - Lafrenniere
2 LA - Stutzle
3 OTT (from SJ) - Byfield
4 DET - Perfetti
5 OTT - Drysdale
6 ANA - Raymond
7 NJ - Rossi
8 BUF - Sanderson
9 MIN - Holtz
10 WPG - Schneider
11 NSH - Quinn
12 FLA - Lundell
13 CAR (from TOR) - Askarov
14 EDM - Mercer
15 PIT (option to MIN) - Jarvis

This is assuming all stays the same. But I can see a few things happening:

- Edmonton may try to swap picks with Florida to get Askarov
- Pit may drop down to add more 2nd rd picks in order to start their rebuild

1 NYR - Lafrenniere
2 LA - Stutzle
3 OTT (from SJ) - Byfield
4 DET - Perfetti
5 OTT - Rossi
6 ANA - Drysdale
7 NJ - Raymond
8 BUF - Holtz
9 MIN - Lundell
10 WPG - Sanderson
11 NSH - Quinn
12 FLA - Jarvis
13 CAR (from TOR) - Askarov
14 EDM -  Mercer
15 PIT (option to MIN) - Guhle

obviously, if this all stays the same. if Pit's trades the pick I could see whoever trades for it to draft Perreault or holloway.

I could totally see Ottawa drafting Drysdale but I'm trying to believe they will draft Rossi.

Watch us walk away from the draft without even one of Byfield, Raymond or Rossi.

Teams added to the original post ie. Toronto trade and spots 16-27.

I think ideally I'd also like to draft Byfield and then Rossi. Sounds good to me.

As much as all those things I said when it was announced that LA won the #2 slot, I still can’t see a world in which they pass on Lafreniere or Byfield at 2. With Ottawa taking Stutzle at 3, it pretty much screws up Ottawa drafting your two preferences and mine as well.

There’s a difference between what you just said and what Tim believes. We prefer byfield but know that stutzle is the best option if he’s gone. It won’t be because they pass on byfield.

There’s definitely a chance that we end up with stutzle and drysdale or Sanderson

Haha, Sanderson at 5. Well done Ottawa. Love his IQ, two-way prowess and skating, but come on, not with potentially Raymond, Rossi, Perfetti, Drysdale and Holtz    in front of him on the board.

Just get this damn draft over with. Sick of talking about what ifs.

I'd take him over holtz and Rossi but not the others. I don't expect it but there's a chance he goes to ottawa

Updated my mock. Nailed 2% of it.

Updated my mock to include Dallas and TB

Your mocks all suck. Especially Ev’s.

my mock is tremendous

1 NYR - Lafreniere
2 LA - Stutzle
3 OTT (from SJ) - Byfield
4 DET - Perfetti
5 OTT - Raymond

Updates to come

Put Amirov higher than I have him. I think Carolina takes him, but for now, I will leave it the way I have it.
