Jan Levine: Fourth annual Hockey Buzz Mock Draft, Col pick is in, NJD up, LV on deck Avalanche make their selection

The voting question needs correcting. The pick was Pinelli, yet the disagree says something about picking Pinelli, Dean etc.

Looks like I'm tied for first in approval rating thanks to your recommendation

Some have already leaked, supposedly TOR is adding a mid pick and low level prospect so SEA takes Kerfoot over McCann. There’s another one but I haven’t had my coffee yet so I can’t remember it haha

I’d hope Kostin is a part of the package coming back. He fell in the draft, most had him in the late teens to early 20’s bc of fear of him playing in the KHL (which has happened). He was teammates with Kravtsov in the WJC and was the captain of that team. Slots as a 3rd line center for now with potential to move up and plays with a nasty streak.

Curious who/what the Rangers are giving Seattle not to select Goodrow tonight.

I don't want to lose Buchnevich but if the deal is with St. Louis, I hope Kostin is part of the return for him.

My preference would be Podkolzin from Vancouver though.

Vancouver needs to worry about getting Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes signed

I really doubt they'd be in the market for Buchnevich who'd be another RFA they'd have to sign

I see him listed as a winger?

I don’t think they have to give Seattle anything. Goodrow is a free agent so they have to work out a contract if they were to take him. There is no word Goodrow would want to sign there

I hope they do take Goodrow. Then it is a wasted pick when he doesn't sign.

The story about taping the Seattle pick from the Leafs in the Fish Market is funny, whether the pick is Kerfoot of not. Most of these "expansion picks" aren't as interesting as the rest of the deal with the team losing/gaining assets.

People worry about Eichel Injury, I don’t get the Tarasenko love. No one is sure he will be the same player after that shoulder injury. We have enough wingers, why trade for an injured one making 7 million a year. Doesn’t make sense to me

I hope none, it will be more fun to watch with the surprise element

- JRR1285

He’s a center, in the 2 games he played this year he played on the wing bc of their center depth (Schenn Kyrou Thomas) he played on Thomas’s wing I believe

I read that Landeskog and O'Reilly have remained very close, and the Blues are the likely destination for Landeskog.

I don’t want either one, but one is 2.5 million cheaper than the other and one has 2 years left vs the other having 5 years left. The other thing is shoulder surgery is much more common than having things fused together in your neck… if we HAD to have 1 I would want Tarasenko, but I’d really want neither

But you have to consider age and what the team needs. Rangers are desperate for centers and are loaded on the wings. Tarasenko makes zero sense to me. Wouldn’t allow us to upgrade at center
