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.
