On NHL Draft day, consider yourselves sufficiently mocked
Published 6/20/2008 at Puck Daddy
... to be second only to the Major League Baseball mock draft in blind estimation and utter unpredictability. Take the Chicago Blackhawks: In seven different NHL Mock Drafts we surveyed, they were predicted to select five different players with the 11th pick: Colten Teubert, Colin Wilson, Zach Boychuk, Greg Nemiscz and Luca Sbisa. This whole thing pretty much makes Dr. Ian Malcolm's chaos theory look like an exact science by comparison. Check out the following Mock Drafts at My NHL Draft, Draft Nation, The Hockey News, The National Post, ...

Hockey Mockery
Published 6/20/2008 at Kuklas Korner
Can someone please explain what is the appeal of “mock drafts”? To echo Jamie Fitzpatrick’s question on the subject today: “What exactly is the point of these exercises?” Some links—a few of which I shamelessly ripped off from Puck Daddy today—include My NHL Draft, Draft Nation, The Hockey News, The National Post, TSN, The Milford Daily News, Illegal Curve and NHL Draft Site. No disrespect intended; they look like a lot of work to put ...

Draft Philosophy

Posted 6/22/2008 on Gorilla Crouch

I’m going to start off by saying I don’t know the first thing about how the Red Wings determine who they are going to draft and how they decide they want to select a particular player in a particular round. The scouting services and the mock drafts have been helpful in getting a general idea of what certain players bring to the table and what I’ve been trying to do is just ...

Score one for the Mock Draft Nerds

My quick tour of the mock drafts suggested the Red Wings were likely to draft Thomas McCollum with the #30 draft pick. Well three of the mock draft prognosticators, who were mocked by a baker’s couple of excellent bloggers , ended up making the correct call. Let’s give them their moment to bask in the sun shall we?

Max Giese: 2008 Mock San Jose Sharks Draft

With general manager Doug Wilson at the helm, the possibility of multiple draft-day deals this afternoon is not out of the question. The 2008 NHL Entry Draft is stacked talent, and it would be shocking to see the Sharks remain on the outside looking in. After trades for Brian Campbell and the rights to move up and select Logan Couture and Nick Petrecki in the 2007 draft, the Sharks do not own ...

Mock NHL draft: Habs pick Toews at 25

A Canwest News Service mock NHL draft has the Canadiens picking left-winger David Toews, brother of Chicago Blackhawks' Jonathan Toews, at the 25th spot. He's described as a solid defensive player who will be playing at North Dakota this coming season, which fits with the Canadiens' trend to pick NCAA-bred players.

I'll be honest - I took a pass on geeking out on this year's draft (bad blogger, I know). Last year, besides dropping some knowledge on the top prospects' skills, I could tell you that Keaton Ellerby's favorite movie is "Blow" and that Jakub Voracek's favorite actors are Kurt Russell and Martin Lawrence. This year? Once I get past Stamkos, Filatov and a handful of defensemen, I'm pretty much

Disappointing Indeed

Posted 6/18/2008 on Japers' Rink

SI.com's Allan Muir has his 2008 NHL mock draft* up, and while he has the Caps taking a two-way defenseman named Tyler Cuma with the 23rd pick overall, this line stuck out to me: "A goaltender wouldn't be a surprise at this spot, considering the disappointing development of 2006 first-rounder Semen Varlamov..." Huh? Is he talking about the same Varlamov that made Russia's gold medal-winning

Carolina is scheduled to have the 14th overall pick in the upcoming 2008 NHL Entry Draft this weekend in Ottawa . This is a pretty deep draft class, and there are quite a few names being bandied about in mock drafts as the 14th pick. One of those players, Colten Teubert, is featured today on NHL.com . Teubert, a defenseman whom many are calling "mini-Pronger" is 6'4" and 185 pounds. The ...

Boychuk Sings Sandler Song For Caps Scouts

Posted 6/16/2008 on Japers' Rink

The Caps have had some pretty good drafts of late. Sure, Alex Ovechkin was an easy pick, but they bucked some conventional wisdom and took Nicklas Backstrom over Phil Kessel in 2006, and snagged a pair of already full-time NHL defensemen - Jeff Schultz and Mike Green - with two of the last four picks in the 2004 draft (wonder if Dallas is kicking themselves for taking Mark Fistric one spot ahead
