We'll probably pick up Radulov over Montoya...

The Rangers are more likely to take Ladd, although the do like Thelen. And, if Calgary wins the Cup, the Rangers select #23. If Mike Green is available, and they've already selected Ladd at #6, Green is likely to be the selection at #23.

good overall job with the mock draft!!

lisin will more than likely fall into the second round and i wouldnt be surprised to see the blues draft a net minder there (montoya if he is there is likely)

I doubt the stars take Bolland an undersized center with Green and Volobik still there. Maybe in round 2 they take an offesnive player at 34

I'd be surprised to see Smid over Valabik (Mad Mike still feels dumb about the Chara deal)

Smid is no midget either---he may not be a giant like Valabik--but he's still got size! just cause' i made this pick--doesn't mean im in favor of it for our team! Did you see the Islanders "draft preview" up now? It lists Smid as up there with Barker...that's a bit odd! Sounds to me the spin-experts at NYI.com have already started at it to prepare for the pick

Good Mock Draft.. only thing is i'd change Wolski with Radulov but thats just my opinion. Other than that good mock draft, i would like to See Picard come over to Edmonton, Zajac dont know alot about him but he plays Junior A which i find a little sketchy for a guy that is supposed to go top 45

As a Devils fan, I would take Green over Valabik... we don't need another Colin White.

San Jose wouldn't take a goalie in the first round, no way...They had to unload Kipper because they were too deep at goalie.

As for what tripledekehockey said about Lisin, call me crazy, but I could see Vancouver taking him..

And then I couldn't see David Booth going in the first round either. I think Lyamin and Sindel might find their way into the first round, and same for Lepisto.
