2012 Mock

[dmvincent]

Bored at work and after reading a few others I was inspired to post my own. Just going to keep it simple, no writeups or anything. As with any mock it will be largely wrong, but hey, it's all in fun right?

Also, ignore spelling errors

Based on recent rumblings, I'm tempted to dramatically alter this mock draft. Doesn't sound like Edmonton will be picking Yakupov...

Seriously? How realistic is that? I hope that's not the media pulling a Hall/Seguin sort of fabricated dilema. If EDM does grab Murray (I'm assuming?) I'd love to see a re-mock!

Nothing confirmable so I've kept most of it to the Oilers thread, but take a gander there if you want to know what I'm basing this on.

I still feel that the Oilers trade the pick for ?? and 2nd or 3rd overall..

I don't think they want to trade Montreal for the 3rd overall and then Columbus takes Murray.. That would be a huge backfire.. So just unsure of what will go down.. Sure makes for great TV!! HAHA..

Wow this is crazy!!!!

Reinhart waaay to high.
Ditto for Radek Faksa
TT will easily go top 10
Cant see Dumba falling to 7

Those aren't really crazy at all. What's crazy is people making cookie cutter mock drafts that hardly deviate from the "experts'" mock drafts.

[dyzfunctioned]

Nothings really crazy when it comes to mocks...

Even the real draft!!!

[tgraveline]

Every draft year there is some crazy pick.

I think with how after about the 8th pick most guys are basically a wash. So nothing would really surprise me.

[Dean Youngblood]

If there's one thing I want people to learn from this draft class is that it's MAATTA (two ts). That is all

[SeaDawg]

nothing will surprise me in this draft...I honestly can't even say with any real degree of confidence what the top 5 picks will be. I have an idea, but I'm not nearly as sure about my own predictions as I have been in other years

[reeveta]

Lots of mock drafts have teams taking goalies claiming some sort of team need. While in don't want to say teams won't pick goalies, I think they are so far away from the NHL it is difficult to imagine them helping the team.

Related question: how many current NHL gms drafted their current starting goalie?

[dodospice]

I think my mock like any mock wont be right and there is some players higher then maybe they should be and some lower but really after the top 10 you just dont know with this draft especially once you get around 20 its a complete crapshoot.
