NHL Entry Draft: With the NHL Entry Draft Just Right Around the Corner, We’re Going to do A Mock Draft to See Exactly Who Falls Where and Who Suits Them Best, This Time the Second Round!
The NHL Entry Draft is just three months away which gives everyone a bunch of time to speculate on who their favorite team is going to select in the first round, but this time we’re doing the second round. With this year not being as deep as the years of yesterday, there are still some top notch guys available.
In this second round mock draft, I’m keeping the same order as the first round, and adjusting teams to their respective slots that they achieved through trade.
The Boston Bruins second-round pick will go to New Jersey in the Lee Stempniak deal in 2016.
The Calgary Flames second-round pick will go to Ottawa in the Curtis Lazar deal in 2017.
The Edmonton Oilers second round pick will go to Boston as compensation for Edmonton hiring Peter Chiarelli.
The Minnesota Wild’s second-round pick will go to Buffalo from the Chris Stewart deal in 2015.
The New York Rangers second-round pick will go to Carolina for the Eric Staal deal in 2016.
The Ottawa Senators second pick will go to Toronto for the Dion Phaneuf deal in 2016.
The Pittsburgh Penguins second-round pick will go to Carolina for the Ron Hainsey deal in 2017.
The San Jose Sharks second-round pick will go to Toronto for the Roman Polak deal in 2016.
The Washington Capitals second-round pick will go to Montreal for the Lars Eller deal in 2016.
So let’s dive into the mock draft and see who lands where! I will also have a full second round mock coming soon!
