GARE JOYCE -- FINAL MOCK DRAFT
| Name | Pos. | From | Stock |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Taylor Hall | LW | Windsor (OHL) |  |
| The only concern about Hall is injury. | |||
| 2. Tyler Seguin | C | Plymouth (OHL) | |
| Can he keep up his improvement? | |||
| 3. Eric Gudbranson | D | Kingston (OHL) | |
| JayBo with character upgrade and compass. | |||
| 4. Cam Fowler | D | Windsor (OHL) | |
| First-liner with offensive skills. | |||
| 5. Brett Connolly | RW | Prince George (WHL) | |
| Some may doubt Connolly's fitness. | |||
| 6. Brandon Gormley | D | Moncton (QMJHL) |  |
| A perfect complement to Victor Hedman. | |||
| 7. Nino Niederreiter | RW | Portland (WHL) | |
| World Juniors show he's not far from big show. | |||
| 8. Ryan Johansen | C | Portland (WHL) | |
| Johansen could help sooner than later. | |||
| 9. Jeff Skinner | C/W | Kitchener (OHL) | |
| Thinks well and reacts faster than anyone on ice. | |||
| 10. Alexander Burmistrov | C | Barrie (OHL) | |
