The FIRST Mock Draft of the szn is here folks! And I love doing these with all the surprising teams in the lottery! What are YOUR thoughts on MY predictions? What do YOU agree & disagree with? And do YOU think there's a contest for 1st overall? Let me know!
I think this year we actually have a legitimate 2 or 3 horse race for 1st overall. I'd be pretty surprised if Hagens goes 1st overall. His size which whether anyone wants to argue it or not is a big factor for scouts and will be questioned heavily. I don't think he has the high end potential Jack Hughes had I think he's great at the junior levels but I think a lot of questions of his translatability will come into question as the year continues. Which goes hand in hand with the size debate I also think Misa and Martone are criminally underrated by a lot of people especially Misa last year he got buried in the lineup on that insane team in Saginaw he was 16 on a Mem cup winning team with a lot of 19-20 year olds established OHLers ahead and now that he's more the guy in Saginaw we've seen what he can do.
Sharks fan. I'm just excited to see our options lol. Many sharks fans aren't even hoping for #1. Rather have a winger or d-man. But if the sharks get the #1 again... 🤷♂️
And it's maybe crazy to say this but I don't think Hagens fit the Shark's need atm, no matter all the talent there. We already have a ton of playmakers, good passers and that's what Hagens is too. I'd be more happy for another bottom team to get him, and maybe we luck out 2026's for McKenna, or 2027 for Dupont. Top scorer/winger, or top dman is what I'd be way more happy this year
Yep, just remembering back earlier this year and how f***ing pissed off I was going to be if Chicago won again.. That they almost had both Bedard and Celebrini is messed up, NHL shouldn't allow any team to win the lottery twice in a row and I say that as Sharks fan.
@@JesterRace139 I dont agree!…NHL made big step with maximum 2 times 1st overall in 5 years. If you cancel 2 times 1st, some rebuilding processes will take 10 years. Teams don’t want to stay at the bottom 10 years, maximum 3 years and then back to contending stage.
If ever a 1st overall pick was to be moved, San Jose in 2025 would be a logical choice. Can still get a high end center plus at least another 1st rounder.
Martone makes way more sense for the Sharks. They have enough borderline sized skill coming through the pipeline that Martone's physical game makes the most sense.
@@Z0raPlus Hagens is overrated. Too relient on Perreault and Leonard to produce, and doesn't even produce up to the level of a unanimous 1OA. It's shades of Shane Wright right now. Plus he's small and older in the draft.
I can see Kyle Davidson trading up for Porter Martone. We need big scoring wingers badly especially having one who can compete and forecheck. Wouldn’t be surprised if we package both our firsts to come up into the top 3 to take him if he’s available.
I honestly prefer them taking Hensler over Schaefer. Mukhamudullin and Dickinson on the left side. Not much on the right side, I also think the reason why Hensler isn't doing well is because Windsor is a shitty team. But the size and two-way game that Hensler is great.
If the Flyers are fortunate enough to pick twice in the first 16 with their second pick it better be Ryabkin ... I have heard he is dropping outta the top 10 but with his upside and possibly pairing him with Michkov on a potential Russian line as the centerman, I'd be po'd if they did not take a *flyer* on him, no pun intended!!!
misa 17 goals. 26 pts. And a point in all 13 spirit games. misa should go to flames to play with parekh and his bro. I told y'all misa would pick it up in his draft year now being the show with the nhl drafted guys gone.
I respect your mock draft simulation but Radim Mrtka is way too high his celling is somewhere at the end of the first round/start of the second round, on the other hand i would love to see Radivojevic goes late first round but thats not too much of a possibility, seem he stops growing and is low 5’10 guy, maybe he will eventually grow to 5’11, but that doesnt help much, and simillar thing si Adam benak case, who’s Pure talent is top 5 in this draft class i would say, but he is only low 5’7 and thats for lefty centerman very low especially when he is more of a playmaker then shooter unlike other smaller players in nhl( righty shooters at wing caufield, debrincat, garland or Atkinson), but dont take this like hate 🙂
The Blues love to get centers out of the Q? What are you babbling about now? In the last 20 years, they've taken Barbashev in the 2nd, Alexandrov in the 2nd and Dorion in the 7th. Just make more stuff up about the Blues, dude.

If you told me the three guys in the thumbnail were all the same guy, I would believe you.
Fr I had to take a closer look to distinguish them
@reedosaurus 17 year old athletic white guys with long hair all look alike
This is why hockey is impossible to market, nobody can tell boring white people apart 🤣🤣🤣

I'm right there with you. Obviously Hagens would be aweseome, but they really can't go wrong with one of Martone, Schaefer, McQueen

Agree with ya, but Hagens is the unanimous.

@nolan13075 what I mean by unanimous is what the scouts and insiders think of hagens. I also think martone is the best player, I have hagens at #2
@Z0raPlus it's not though. McKenzie had a scout put McQueen #1
@@nolan13075 ok i actually didn't know that, very bold, for me McQueen is #5, my top 5: 1. Martone 2. Hagens 3. Schaefer 4. Misa 5. McQueen
Your videos are always so entertaining and interesting! It's a real pleasure to watch them.❣️🌻💕
Totally agree!!! 😃

We will be top 3 pick anyway
@ after last night’s performance you’re probably right.
Hopefully the Blackhawks bring up some prospects next year.😮
@@dan-vv8gs and fire Richardson he has been dookie the past three seasons as head coach
@@sethking4311 They have nothing but a bunch of grinders on the team.There's not much to work with.
sharks NEEEEEEED martone (or schaefer but having a 6'3 200lb winger next to celebrini and eklund would be crazy)
I honestly prefer them taking Hensler over Schaefer. Mukhamudullin and Dickinson on the left side. Not much on the right side, I also think the reason why Hensler isn't doing well is because Windsor is a shitty team. But the size and two-way game that Hensler is great.
nice analisys as always,Nate

If Will Smith and Celebrini develop well this season I can see the sharks taking Martone or even trading down from no. 1 if the price was right.
misa 17 goals. 26 pts. And a point in all 13 spirit games. misa should go to flames to play with parekh and his bro. I told y'all misa would pick it up in his draft year now being the show with the nhl drafted guys gone.
Idk about hagens by far is number 1
Chicago should select roger McQueen I totally agree
I don’t think the hawks could pass up on a Franchise d like Schaefer. There’s a clear top 4 in this draft and then it drops off after that
a day later and your team selection is already out of date. could be a very interesting season.
wozniak needs to get his motor and tempo up, hes got the brain for sure.
do you speak like that normally??? Or did you practice your sports caster voice at home in the mirror?
If Chicago gets Martone and Carbonneau (yes wishful thinking I know) I would be crying tears of joy
Carbonneau is borderline top 10, i doubt chicago gets both of em
spence would be awesome for mtl
It hurts to see pens in a mock draft this early

As much as I am a fan of Martone, the Penguins are starving for complete defensemen. I see Pittsburgh taking Matt Shaefer.
WAAAYYYYY to early man
McQueen + Wozniak 🤕🔫
I don't think the Flyers would pass on McQueen for Misa.
Misa would be a great complementary piece for Michkov, but McQueen isnt bad either
Which player do you compare Hagens to?
If you don’t think the Flyers would take Martone, you are completely out of your mind.
Impossible, Yzerman would never draft a forward with upside
If sharks get Hagens, who is better Celebrini or Hagens?
celebrini. until mckenna enters the picture.
Not sold on Hagens. Rankings will look different 3 months from now. Celebrini is definitely better.
@@progshark Hagens isn't even #1 for me. I would take Martone over him
In typical Philly fashion, the Flyers fall just short of the first pick and a generational talent.
I couldn’t imagine using the word “generational” any looser, congrats man!
If the Hawks take Ihs-Woziak imma be outta here.
Is too early for this episode the hockey season just started
Never too early for a mock draft
Never too early for a mock draft
He did say for fun.
Um theres no way I an Ryabkin isnt a top 16 guy right??? You must have forgotten him right???
He said he didn’t add him because he didn’t start out well.
@@Wheelofthyme1010yeah saw that later, just checked quickly after after the hanbs pick cause I’d take him there
My isles should sell at the trade and bomb
tanking would be a good thing.
Stupid Ducks, snapping our six game skid!!!

Get Ihs Wozniak out of the first round!!
As a Sharks fan I do want the Sharks to get Jack Ivankovic - he is torching the OHL as a goalie
I watch your channel with pleasure. Your videos are a real treat for the eyes.🏑🛞🌌
