elmatus Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I wonder how accurate those mock drafts typically are at predicting actual picks outside the top five or so. I usually don't pay them any mind unless we've got a pick near the top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicting the top 3 taken is doable i think. Team needs can change things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poconono Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Kjell Samuelsson's son and local product. But they need wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering these mocks really have no idea where teams are going to finish OR where final prospects rating will be OR where they'll actually be drafted, when the season is only half over... They're something to look at if you're bored...and it helps get people familiarized with some of the top prospects...but you really can't take them too seriously at this point of the year.

You always draft best player available, even if you're loaded at the position. You can then flip something or you can always move down to get what you need. I'd have no problems if the Flyers ended up with two of Lundestrom, Samuelsson, Smith or McLeod (although, I hope they end up drafting Barret Hayton and Serron Noel).

RJ8812 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I guess they needed time to fill. What's the point of doing a mock draft with so much time left in the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be pretty happy with both of them.(and Riley Sutter in the 2nd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of gives an idea of how players are rated and who you can expect to be available. Of course, there will always be risers and fallers, but it's a good idea.
