Nice, thanks for sharing DG!

Seems like Hischier is getting more attention now in regards to becoming the top pick come draft day. I guess Patrick's injuries this year has had a few experts change their rankings but FWIW, I still think Nolan Patrick goes 1st overall.

The more and more I look and read... I am hoping you are right, that Nolan Patrick goes first. this means that that the Flyers get Hischier 2nd... I think I would like to have him on the team! But will happy with either!

Thanks for sharing this!

Liljegren @ 20... wow... McKeen and Button don't talk do they?

Button had Liljegren going at 8 to Buffalo in his latest mock draft - Would def love to see a Chychurn-esque fall to #17.

Grant McCagg (who used to be McKeen's head scout) at Recrutes also isn't very high on Liljegren. He has him going at #16 and has this kind of comments in one of his rants there:

So it begs the question…just what will he be at the NHL level? If he doesn’t have the sense/vision//creativity/shot to be a ten-goal scorer or 45-point defenceman, and has enough question marks and lack of size to be a stalwart defender…you likely have a mobile puckhandler who at best might be a number three or four defenceman. That’s not top-ten material, and if you are worried about the mistakes, questionable passing and turnovers…may well not be enough to be a top-15 or even top-20 selection.
