Upon further reading, I think a couple of opinions needed to shift, especially since I was doing the mock draft without a lot of materials and scouting reports early on and the more one reads, the more informed they may be. So, with that being said, here is the updated list I want to go with, heading into the weekend's fun. Of course, we could still see picks shift, but if I don't get to this list now, I probably won't have a shot at a decent result.
Team | Player Name | POS | Pick |
Nolan Patrick | F | 1 | |
Nico Hischier | F | 2 | |
Miro Heiskanen | D | 3 | |
Gabriel Vilardi | F | 4 | |
Casey Mittelstadt | F | 5 | |
Michael Rasmussen | F | 6 | |
Cale Makar | D | 7 | |
Cody Glass | F | 8 | |
Timothy Liljegren | D | 9 | |
Kristian Vesalainen | F | 10 | |
Owen Tippett | F | 11 | |
Ryan Poehling | F | 12 | |
Eeli Tolvanen | F | 13 | |
Lias Andersson | F | 14 | |
Callan Foote | D | 15 | |
Juuso Valimaki | D | 16 | |
Pierre-Oliver Joseph | D | 17 | |
Martin Necas | F | 18 | |
Robert Thomas | F | 19 | |
Nicolas Hague | D | 20 | |
Nick Suzuki | F | 21 | |
Urho Vaakanainen | D | 22 | |
Elias Pettersson | F | 23 | |
Connor Timmins | D | 24 | |
Klim Kostin | F | 25 | |
Isaac Ratcliffe | F | 26 | |
Jesper Boqvist | F | 27 | |
Kailer Yamamoto | F | 28 | |
Erik Brannstrom | D | 29 | |
Josh Brook | D | 30 | |
Shane Bowers | F | 31 |
I still think Vegas, who now has three picks in this round, is still going to look for some sexy picks and picking up a sniper, like Tolvanen and a hulking defenseman like Foote has a lot of upside for this franchise, which is going to take the express elevator to the top of competitive balance.
