6th Annual NHL Mock Draft: 2017, Sneak Peek

by

Normally, I publish my annual mock entry draft the morning after the Stanley Cup is handed out.

So, when Patric Hornqvist scored the Cup-winning goal for Pittsburgh on Sunday night against Nashville — the team that drafted him with the last overall pick (230th) in 2005 — I should have been ready to roll for Monday.

However, I held off this year, in part, to wait for Bob McKenzie’s highly anticipated draft rankings, which won’t be unveiled by TSN until this Sunday.

To my surprise, there was some level of anticipation surrounding my mock draft as well, and a few regular readers have reached out asking about the delay. To appease them, and the masses, I’ve decided to provide a sneak peek at my selections for all seven rounds followed by a team-by-team results breakdown.

This sneak peek won’t include any analysis or reasoning for my picks — you’ll have to wait until next week for the in-depth mock, which will also feature the prospects’ heights and weights (from the combine), regular season and playoff statistics, and their final rankings from eight trusted scouting services in NHL Central Scouting, ISS Hockey, Future Considerations, McKeen’s Hockey, HockeyProspect.com, the aforementioned draft guru McKenzie, TSN’s Craig Button and Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek.

Of course, my selections are subject to change between now and then, especially since several picks are expected to be traded in the meantime. This mock reflects the official draft order following the conclusion of the playoffs, prior to any picks changing hands.

As those deals go down over the next week to nine days, I’ll be updating and tweaking my mock as necessary since different teams have different needs and tendencies on draft weekend.

I’m always open to reader feedback too — be it from casual fans or hockey people, including scouts — so feel free to contact me with any insight that could be beneficial in making this year’s mock as realistic as possible.

In saying that, this year’s entry draft is shaping up to be a total crapshoot — even more so than most years — and nobody really knows what to expect from the first overall pick to the 217th and final pick.

There will be no shortage of surprise selections, possibly starting at No. 1 but certainly within the top five. There isn’t a generational talent available — no Connor McDavid or Auston Matthews, nor a Jack Eichel or Patrik Laine — and the depth of this draft class eventually tails off too, which could mean more over-age and re-entry prospects getting picked than usual.

That’s a little spoiler for what’s to come, but let’s start at the top and answer the question that everybody is debating: Nolan or Nico . . . or a surprise?

Nolan Patrick, a centre for the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings, was the consensus top prospect for much of the draft year, but he’s no longer a lock to be selected first overall with Swiss import forward Nico Hischier and a couple defencemen challenging for that honour on June 23.

First Round

1) New Jersey Devils — Nolan Patrick (C, Brandon, WHL)

2) Philadelphia Flyers — Nico Hischier (C/LW, Halifax, QMJHL)

3) Dallas Stars — Miro Heiskanen (LHD, HIFK, Finland)

4) Colorado Avalanche — Cale Makar (RHD, Brooks, AJHL)

5) Vancouver Canucks — Elias Pettersson (C/LW, Timra IK, Sweden)

6) Vegas Golden Knights — Gabe Vilardi (C, Windsor, OHL)

7) Arizona Coyotes — Timothy Liljegren (RHD, Rogle, Sweden)

8) Buffalo Sabres — Owen Tippett (RW, Mississauga, OHL)

9) Detroit Red Wings — Martin Necas (C/RW, Kometa Brno, Czech Republic)

10) Florida Panthers — Casey Mittelstadt (C, Green Bay, USHL)

Casey Mittelstadt’s struggles at the combine — limited to one rep on the bench press and unable to complete a single pull-up — could impact his draft stock. A skilled forward bound for the University of Minnesota next season, Mittelstadt is considered a top-five talent by some and should still be selected somewhere in the top 10.

11) Los Angeles Kings — Klim Kostin (RW, Dynamo Moscow, Russia)

12) Carolina Hurricanes — Kristian Vesalainen (LW, Frolunda J20, Finland)

13) Winnipeg Jets — Cody Glass (C, Portland, WHL)

14) Tampa Bay Lightning — Nick Suzuki (C, Owen Sound, OHL)

15) New York Islanders — Michael Rasmussen (C, Tri-City, WHL)

16) Calgary Flames — Cal Foote (RHD, Kelowna, WHL)

17) Toronto Maple Leafs — Nic Hague (LHD, Mississauga, OHL)

18) Boston Bruins — Eeli Tolvanen (LW, Sioux City, USHL)

19) San Jose Sharks — Ryan Poehling (C, St. Cloud State, NCAA)

20) St. Louis Blues — Juuso Valimaki (LHD, Tri-City, WHL)

21) New York Rangers — Josh Norris (C, U.S. U18, NTDP)

(Larry Brunt/Spokane Chiefs)
Kailer Yamamoto is one of the more talented forwards in this draft class, but he’s a slight 5-foot-8 and that will likely cause him to fall into the teens or quite possibly the 20s.

22) Edmonton Oilers — Kailer Yamamoto (RW, Spokane, WHL)

23) Arizona Coyotes (from Minnesota) — Urho Vaakanainen (LHD, JYP, Finland)

24) Columbus Blue Jackets — Lias Andersson (C/LW, HV71, Sweden)

25) Montreal Canadiens — Morgan Frost (C, Sault Ste. Marie, OHL)

26) Chicago Blackhawks — Henri Jokiharju (RHD, Portland, WHL)

27) St. Louis Blues (from Washington) — Jaret Anderson-Dolan (C/LW, Spokane, WHL)

28) Ottawa Senators — Erik Brannstrom (LHD, HV71, Sweden)

29) Dallas Stars (from Anaheim) — Jake Oettinger (G, Boston University, NCAA)

30) Nashville Predators — Kole Lind (RW, Kelowna, WHL)

31) Pittsburgh Penguins — Connor Timmins (RHD, Sault Ste. Marie, OHL)

Second Round

32) Colorado Avalanche — Robert Thomas (C, London, OHL)

33) Vancouver Canucks — Marcus Davidsson (C, Djugardens, Sweden)

34) Vegas Golden Knights — Mike DiPietro (G, Windsor, OHL)

35) Arizona Coyotes — Jason Robertson (LW, Kingston, OHL)

36) New Jersey Devils — Isaac Ratcliffe (LW, Guelph, OHL)

37) Buffalo Sabres — Pierre-Olivier Joseph (LHD, Charlottetown, QMJHL)

38) Detroit Red Wings — Shane Bowers (C, Waterloo, USHL)

39) Dallas Stars — Nikita Popugaev (LW, Prince George, WHL)

(Mike Smith/www.discovermoosejaw.com)
Nikiita Popugaev enjoyed a strong first half of the season with Moose Jaw but wasn’t as productive after being traded to Prince George. The big Russian is a total wild-card with the potential to go in the top 20 or fall out of the top 40.

40) Florida Panthers — Joni Ikonen (C, Frolunda J20, Finland)

41) Los Angeles Kings — Robin Salo (LHD, Vassan Sport, Finland)

42) Carolina Hurricanes — Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (G, HPK U20, Finland)

43) Winnipeg Jets — Ian Mitchell (RHD, Spruce Grove, AJHL)

44) Philadelphia Flyers — Mackenzie Entwistle (C/RW, Hamilton, OHL)

45) Tampa Bay Lightning — Maxime Comtois (LW/C, Victoriaville, QMJHL)

46) New York Islanders — Scott Reedy (C/LW, U.S. U18, NTDP)

47) Ottawa Senators (from Calgary) — Filip Chytil (C, ZPS Zlin, Czech Republic)

48) Tampa Bay Lightning (from Toronto) — Ostap Safin (LW, Sparta Prague, Czech Republic)

49) New Jersey Devils (from Boston) — Adam Ruzicka (C, Sarnia, OHL)

Adam Ruzicka could follow in the footsteps of Czech compatriot Pavel Zacha by crossing the pond to develop with the OHL’s Sarnia Sting before getting drafted by the New Jersey Devils.

50) Anaheim Ducks (from San Jose via Toronto) — Keith Petruzzelli (G, Muskegon, USHL)

51) St. Louis Blues — Grant Mismash (RW, U.S. U18, NTDP)

52) Carolina Hurricanes (from N.Y. Rangers) — Jonah Gadjovich (LW, Owen Sound, OHL)

53) Boston Bruins (from Edmonton) — Antoine Morand (C/LW, Acadie-Bathurst, QMJHL)

54) Buffalo Sabres (from Minnesota) — David Farrance (LHD, U.S. U18, NTDP)

57) Chicago Blackhawks — Ivan Lodnia (RW, Erie, OHL)

58) Montreal Canadiens (from Washington) — Luke Martin (RHD, Michigan, NCAA)

59) Toronto Maple Leafs (from Ottawa) — Alex Formenton (LW, London, OHL)

Nick Henry
(Keith Hershmiller/Regina Pats)
Nick Henry could be a real sleeper prospect in this year’s draft, a raw talent that the Anaheim Ducks would have scouted heavily while watching their prospects Sam Steel and Josh Mahura as teammates of Henry with the WHL’s Regina Pats.

60) Anaheim Ducks — Nick Henry (RW, Regina, WHL)

61) Nashville Predators — Cale Fleury (RHD, Kootenay, WHL)

62) Carolina Hurricanes (from Pittsburgh) — Aleksi Heponiemi (C/LW, Swift Current, WHL)

Third Round

63) New Jersey Devils (from Colorado) — Dayton Rasmussen (G, Chicago, USHL)

64) Vancouver Canucks — Ivan Chekhovich (LW, Baie-Comeau, QMJHL)

65) Vegas Golden Knights — Stelio Mattheos (RW, Brandon, WHL)

66) Florida Panthers (from Arizona) — Josh Brook (RHD, Moose Jaw, WHL)

67) New Jersey Devils — Evan Barratt (C/RW, U.S. U18, NTDP)

68) Buffalo Sabres — Max Gildon (LHD, U.S. U18, NTDP)

69) Arizona Coyotes (from Detroit via San Jose) — Linus Nyman (RW, Kingston, OHL)

70) Dallas Stars — Jonas Ronbjerg (RW, Vaxjo J20, Sweden)

71) Detroit Red Wings (from Florida) — Fabian Zetterlund (C/RW, Farjestad J20, Sweden)

72) Los Angeles Kings — Alexei Toropchenko (LW, HK MVD, Russia)

73) Carolina Hurricanes — Markus Phillips (LHD, Owen Sound, OHL)

74) Winnipeg Jets — Morgan Geekie (C, Tri-City, WHL)

(Aaron Bell/OHL Images)
Matthew Strome, the younger brother of Ryan and Dylan, is another wild-card who could go as high as the first round or as low as the fourth round.

75) Philadelphia Flyers — Matthew Strome (LW, Hamilton, OHL)

76) Tampa Bay Lightning — Maksim Zhukov (G, Green Bay, USHL)

77) New York Islanders — Jarret Tyszka (RHD, Seattle, WHL)

78) Arizona Coyotes (from Calgary) — Dmitri Samorukov (LHD, Guelph, OHL)

Cayden Primeau, the son of former NHLer Keith Primeau, backstopped the USHL’s Lincoln Stars this season and has a scholarship to Northeastern University for next season.
