NHL Entry Draft: Full First Round Mock Draft and Analysis, Number Two.

NHL Entry Draft: The Draft is Getting Closer and Closer, and by the Looks of Things, Colorado is going to Win the Lottery, So Let’s redo the First Round Mock and Find out What Happens!

The NHL Entry Draft is getting close and for every hockey fan, this is a day we all look forward too. It’s a day in which we get to see which cornerstone players our favorite teams select and who they end up moving in order to move up the draft.

For instance this season a few teams acquired an additional first-round pick, these teams were St. Louis who got Washington’s first rounder plus some other picks when they acquired Kevin Shattenkirk. And Arizona who got theirs via Minnesota when they were finally able to deal Martin Hanzal.

Now let’s dive into our second mock draft, we have a lot of new teams appearing in new spots and a couple of new faces as well. Keep in mind these are all picks that I myself feel would be the best for every organization moving forward.

Like last time the bottom 15 teams were randomized 31 times (a number of teams in the NHL), this determined the bottom 15 order. For the top 16 order, the respective teams were also randomized 31 times (a number of teams in the NHL).
