From Shane Malloy at TSN.ca:
The fun thing about a mock draft is trying to balance the best player available against an organization’s draft tendencies and needs - regardless of your personal thoughts. The other aspect is that you can construct different scenarios in terms of potential trades.
This year’s crop is stronger than in the past, as there is a group of potential elite prospects in the Top 15. The remaining 15 draft picks in the first round have array of good skills and teams may find first round-worthy talent in the early second round. Almost every year we hear the cries of a weak draft or a crapshoot - a misnomer since certain organizations simply do their homework. Now it may be asking a lot for this year’s draft to mirror the 2003 NHL Draft (where 90 percent of players chosen in Round 1 have played at 100 games or more). But in the end, they may be a little closer to the 2002 crop and get 80 percent of the players to be full-timers.
