Pretty smart, though I'd flip Winnipeg's main pick with the alternate.

I just get the sense that Winnipeg being so young at the moment will go with safer bets in players already playing in North America. Not to say Teravainen won't play for them, just it'll be easier for them to monitor and counsel a player playing in North America. Just the feeling I get.

Doesn't Winnipeg pick 9th and Tampa Bay 10th? Either way I prefer the alternate pick.

You are correct sir.

[Shutdown]

Just a heads up, Lindholm is your alternate for Ottawa at 15, but doesn't show up after in your mock.

[KingForsberg]

Pretty damn good list.

Although when I saw this thread I thought you were doing a mock of the 1972 NHL draft.

[GreeningSingleLady]

Nice list. Also thought it was gonna be a '72 mock

[HossTheBoss]

I highly doubt Chicago takes a goaltender in the 1st round. If one of Dansk/Subban/whoever is available in the 2nd.. then sure.. but the Hawks will likely take a Dman or Offensive winger in the 1st round.

[Darcy Regier]

made 2 glaring mistakes, Aberg and Lindholm were missed and would be 1st rounders, I agree the WPG would take Reinhart
