They most likely had a few players they really wanted on their board à la Jayden Struble, whom they would have picked no matter what. Central Scouting: 1 North American Skaters (NAS, April 15)eval(ez_write_tag([[728,90],'thehockeywriters_com-leader-3','ezslot_11',669,'0','0'])); ANALYSIS: The Devils have one of the draft’s most difficult decisions at No. Los Angeles Kings’ Anze Kopitar: Hall of Fame Worthy?

'Kaapo Kakko – 2019 NHL Draft Prospect Profile' from our @AndrewGForbes https://t.co/YOUB6ycZN3 #THW #2019NHLDraft #NHL pic.twitter.com/NCZgrgqAEK, Height/Weight: 5-foot-11.25, 186 pounds (Combine Official, courtesy Mark Scheig, June 1), Playoff Stats: 7 GP-4 G-5 A-9 PTS (WJC-18), Regular Season Stats: 37 GP-27 G-35 A-62 PTS (NTDP), 16 GP-12 G-22 A-34 PTS (USHL). Obviously, the potential of this draft class will only be realized down the road. So, rest assured, Yzerman won’t be scared off by the ‘Russian factor’ when it comes to Podkolzin, who dominated his draft peers at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and was every bit as impressive at the World Juniors as Hughes and Kakko. EPR: Jesperi Kotkaniemi gets his first game action. Not to compare the two directly because I believe Brannstrom is a superior talent, especially offensively, but selecting Söderström here helps to lessen that loss. With that out of the way, here's a breakdown of Montreal's moves: The first trade was to trade down from 50th to acquire picks 64th and 126th. I don’t see elite tools in Söderström, but I see a dependable top-four blueliner for a decade. Frederik Nissen Dichow is a big Dane who shows potential who will play in Sweden this coming year, Arsen Khisamutdinov more than acquitted himself in a nine-game KHL stint, Raphaël Harvey-Pinard had a great year, showing a ton of leadership with the Huskies, and finally Kieran Ruscheinski was a late round pick from an AAA midget league. They have Calen Addison in the system too as a right-handed option, but York is a cut above Addison. ANALYSIS: Podkolzin has become one of this draft’s most polarizing prospects and it’s no secret that he’s still under contract in Russia for two more seasons. Height/Weight: 5-foot-10.5, 178 pounds (CO), Playoff Stats: 17 GP-3 G-8 A-11 PTS (Mestis), Regular Season Stats: 27 GP-3 G-5 A-8 PTS (Liiga), 11 GP-2 G-5 A-7 PTS (Mestis), 6 GP-2 G-7 A-9 PTS (U20-Liiga).

ANALYSIS: The Stars have a history of selecting Russian forwards in the first round, albeit with mediocre results — Valeri Nichushkin and Denis Gurianov. Dach may be a few years away from making an impact for the Oilers — at least a couple years away — but his upside is right up there with the top-end talents in this draft class. This move seemed to have been made to secure an over-ager in his last entry in the draft.

Playoff Stats: 7 GP-3 G-9 A-12 PTS (WJC-18), Regular Season Stats: 64 GP-33 G-48 A-81 PTS (NTDP), 28 GP-17 G-26 A-43 PTS (USHL). Regular Season Stats: 68 GP-11 G-47 A-58 PTS. Mattias Norlinder played against men and showed great potential. Links: We may need to abandon the concept of numbered lines. Carolina was able to get a early third and early fourth for their low second. 'Bowen Byram – 2019 NHL Draft Prospect Profile' from our @JoshuaBellTHW https://t.co/hMNn0nkWUO #THW #2019NHLDraft #NHL pic.twitter.com/b4dcgXZhZc, Height/Weight: 6-foot-0.75, 196 pounds (CO), Playoff Stats: 8 GP-2 G-1 A-3 PTS (VHL), 3 GP-2 G-1 A-3 PTS (MHL), Regular Season Stats: 14 GP-2 G-3 A-5 PTS (VHL), 12 GP-6 G-2 A-8 PTS (MHL). ANALYSIS: That run of defencemen, with five of the last six picks, has left Calgary a lot of forwards to choose from — the aforementioned Suzuki, McMichael, Nick Robertson, Beecher and Mastrosimone, plus a couple QMJHLers in Jakob Pelletier and Samuel Poulin being among the many options here. Montreal traded their secon… Height/Weight: 6-foot-3.25, 212 pounds (CO), Playoff Stats: 7 GP-3 G-1 A-4 PTS (WJC-18), Regular Season Stats: 63 GP-15 G-28 A-43 PTS (NTDP), 27 GP-6 G-14 A-20 PTS (USHL). ANALYSIS: This is where the 2019 draft gets really interesting and we might even see a trade here — a shuffling within the top five where Chicago moves down but still gets the guy they want. Dach is a big centre with strong skating for his size and a tantalizing skill-set that is still quite raw. ANALYSIS: With their second pick of the first round, Colorado is set up well to select their goaltender of the future and a present teammate of their top pick, Zegras. He’s got Getzlaf’s size and Perry’s scoring ability. Forty-three players jockey for position on this year’s list. 4.

There is some risk in his game, but that was likely a byproduct of his environment and knowing he could take those chances because his team was fully capable of getting a goal back if something went awry. Montreal traded the 136th overall pick to Florida for a fifth round pick in 2020. Height/Weight: 6-foot-0.75, 195 pounds (CO), Regular Season Stats: 67 GP-26 G-45 A-71 PTS.

On the second day of the draft we saw a lot of activity, beginning as early at the third pick of the second round (#34). ANALYSIS: Tampa considers all the same forwards as Calgary and decides to go with Nick Robertson, one of the youngest prospects in this draft class who outshone most of those peers at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and again at the CHL Top Prospects Game. Could a German be next on their list at this spot? 5. ANALYSIS: The Wild feel fortunate to be choosing between the two American forwards, Caufield and Boldy. I could see either of them going here. The Sabres might go forward-heavy in this year’s draft after using five of six picks on defencemen in 2018, but to come out of the first round with Broberg and Hoglander would be quite the boon for Buffalo. Regular Season Stats: 67 GP-51 G-51 A-102 PTS.

Reviewing the Montreal Canadiens’ 2020 Draft class. Height/Weight: 6-foot-0.5, 175 pounds (CO), Playoff Stats: 8 GP-3 G-4 A-7 PTS (Mestis), Regular Season Stats: 16 GP-0 G-1 A-1 PTS (Liiga), 22 GP-15 G-11 A-26 PTS (Mestis), 25 GP-11 G-11 A-22 PTS (U20-Liiga).

But, and stick with me here, if we use the chart above to calculate the value given and received, we may have a different perspective on the trade. It’s entirely possible, especially after Seider’s performance at the men’s worlds to cap off his already impressive draft year. Caufield ain’t slipping to the second round, but he’s available into the teens for me after Minnesota opts for more of a sure thing in Boldy. Those who have got the chance to watch Dorofeyev live — and you can bet that includes several Dallas scouts — have come away extremely impressed. San Jose traded the 41st overall to the Golden Knightsfor picks #48 and #82.

Cozens just makes too much sense here, if the top eight go as I’ve predicted. Krebs is a pretty polished player, yet has a ton of upside. Hoglander has high-level skill and he’s a hard-worker too. Broberg’s ceiling could be Victor Hedman. Regular Season Stats: 62 GP-25 G-48 A-73 PTS. The Habs then proceeded to trade the 136th overall pick for another pick in 2020. So it wouldn’t be surprising to me if the Kings traded up to take Byram. Tier One: 1. Hoglander isn’t big, but he’s sturdy and strong on the puck.

ANALYSIS: Philly also strongly considers Caufield and Boldy — again, shocked that both are still on the board — but the Flyers stick with their pre-draft plan to pick Krebs, who has a little bit of Matt Barzal in his game and also a little bit of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. As Jared mentioned in his article, it truly feels like the Canadiens are changing the way they are drafting, understanding when they maximize their draft pick value, who other teams may not have as much information as them and keeping in mind the strength of the draft. Byram is the real deal and he’d thrive under Doughty’s tutelage. With more time on my hands than usual this spring, I really hunkered down in May — spending much of that month putting the finishing touches on this year’s mock, the culmination of hundreds or quite possibly thousands of hours dedicated to the 2019 draft class.eval(ez_write_tag([[580,400],'thehockeywriters_com-medrectangle-4','ezslot_2',664,'0','0'])); The older I get, now 34, the more I’m enjoying the scouting side of hockey — to the point of considering a career shift from the media side. Assuming that comes to fruition, Tomasino would be looking like a steal at this time next year if he’s taken outside the top 15. The big day.

All rights reserved. ANALYSIS: Caufield’s fall is halted here. San Jose got quite a bit of extra value in the trade. As my disclaimer, it is not a perfect way of judging pick value, but it is one of the few ways publicly available. The pick being worth 49 in value but keeping in mind the depth of next year's pool. That mock will be predicting the prospects that I’m led to believe the teams will take — based on feedback and new information from fellow scouts, media and fans — whereas this mock, which has already been in the works for months, is more so who I would take for each team as of today. Kaliyev isn’t a complete player as of today, he’s got some glaringly bad junior habits, but he can score with the best of them — ranking right up there with Caufield and Kakko in that regard. If Broberg is still available, that makes Anaheim’s decision more difficult.
