NHL Entry Draft: Full Second Round Mock Draft and Analysis.

Swift Current (WHL). Tyler Steenbergen. 31. player. 94. In the first round, we had selected Nikita Popugaev to help add some depth on the Blackhawks left side, so why not add more with Tyler Steenbergen who is fresh off a 90 point campaign in the WHL.. LW

27. player. 70. A pick that was supposed to go to the Oilers now belongs to the Bruins as compensation for the hiring of Peter Chiarelli. In the first round, Boston had one pick and that was Klim Kostin, so in this second round, we have them selecting the Ottawa 67’s high flying offensive defenseman Noel Hoefenmayer.. D. Ottawa (OHL). Noel Hoefenmayer

player. 152. Originally the Washington pick, Montreal acquired this selection when they dealt away Lars Eller. Now with <a rel=. G. Green Bay (USHL). Maxim Zhukov. 26

25. player. 152. With the Habs first pick of the second round, they would be smart to select the highly skilled right winger in Nick Henry. Who is fresh off an 81 point season in the WHL, something Montreal needs on the right side.. RW. Regina (WHL). Nick Henry

91. Originally a Calgary Flames draft choice, the Sens acquired this pick in the Curtis Lazar deal. Now when you lose a top prospect in a trade, it’s not all that bad since you can go out and get another. And Antoine Morand is that guy.. C. Acadie-Bathurst (QMJHL). Antoine Morand. 23. player

Hermantown (USHSW). Dylan Samberg. 22. player. 12. A pick that belonged to the Minnesota Wild now belongs to the Buffalo Sabres when they dealt away Chris Stewart in 2015. In the first round, Buffalo had one pick and that was center Martin Necas, in the second round with their second choice we have them adding a defensive piece in Dylan Samberg.. D

109. The third of three second-round choices by Carolina, this pick was originally the Rangers but sent it over in the Eric Staal trade. Carolina has one of the deepest defensive cores in the NHL in terms of prospects. Now with one ready to make the jump to the club next year, why not fill that void with another in Markus Phillips.. D. Owen Sound (OHL). Markus Phillips. 21. player

Medicine Hat (WHL). Mason Shaw. 20. player. 105. The Ducks only had a single pick in the first round and with it, we selected left winger Maxime Comtois. So selecting Mason Shaw down the middle is great, also because he’s a highly talented player who will eventually play with someone like Comtois.. C/LW

Boston Univ. (NCAA). Jake Oettinger. 19. player. 109. Originally a pick of the Penguins, the Hurricanes acquired it when they moved Ron Hainsey. With the Hurricanes second pick in the second round, we have them selecting college star goaltender Jake Oettinger. This is a piece the Canes desperately need as they don’t have many goaltending prospects as it is.. G

99. In the first round, we had the St. Louis Blues selecting high scoring winger Kailer Yamamoto. So who would suit the team well after that selection? Someone down the middle who can mesh with him and no one better for the spot than USHL star Evan Barratt.. C. USA NTDP (USHL). Evan Barratt. 18. player

85. A pick that belonged to the Bruins before the Lee Stempniak deal, New Jersey now owns it. And with their second pick in the second round, we have the Devils selecting depth scorer Morgan Frost who has put up a solid 62 point season in his second year with Sault Ste. Marie.. C. Sault Ste. Marie (OHL). Morgan Frost. 17. player

Djurgardens (SHL). Marcus Davidsson. 16. player. 151. With Nashville’s only second round pick, we have them selecting center Marcus Davidsson who put up 10 points in nine games for the Djurgardens IF J20 team before he spent 45 games with the Djurgardens IF pro team putting up nine points.. C

106. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is a massive goalie for his age, standing at 6’4 ad weighing over 195 pounds, he’s probably the next best netminder besides Michael Dipietro. And with no one really left in the Islanders pool of goalies besides <a rel=. G. HPK (SM Jr. Liiga). Ukko Pekka Luukkonen. 15. player

player. 23. In the first round, we had the Lightning selecting Juuso Valimaki for depth on the backend. This time around, we have them selecting Joni Ikonen for more depth down the middle since they are going to need it.. C. Frolunda (SWE U-20). Joni Ikonen. 14

Tri-City (WHL). Morgan Geekie. 13. player. 67. Morgan Geekie is fresh off a 90 point season this year in the WHL and is poised as a very underrated center. What’s great about him is he can also play wing, which makes him a great choice for the Kings since they need someone to fill that role in the future.. C

With <a rel=. LW. Owen Sound (OHL). Jonah Gadjovich. 12. player. 109

87. The Coyotes dealt away former Kingston Frontenac <a rel=. LW. Kingston (OHL). Jason Robertson. 11. player

Josh Norris. 5. player. 121. Arizona has a plethora of offensive talent, especially prospects. And with Gabe Vilardi being chosen in the first round and possessing the ability to come in and play right away, this gives someone like Josh Norris one more year in the NCAA before giving the Coyotes four very solid centers.. C. USA NTDP (USHL)

Sault Ste. Marie (OHL). Conor Timmins. 4. player. 103. Coming off a 61 point season in the OHL, as a defenseman, Conor Timmins is highly skilled. And with the Aves selecting Nico Hischier in the first round to help up front, Timmins would be perfect to help on the backend.. D

With Owen Tippett being chosen in the first round to play with teammate Michael McLeod, the Devils are going to need another center in the pool who can cause some damage and play with someone like <a rel=. C. Balashikha (MHL). Alexei Lipanov. 3. player. 85

G. Windsor (OHL). Michael Dipietro. 1. player. 119. Since the Stars don’t have much on the backend besides <a rel=
