Predicting Your 2015 Draft Picks.

[CasperX22]

yeah like Barzal and Connor are sure fire stars... (not that I disagree with the whole point about BOS though)

Connor will be...bank on it.

[Lee]

Drafted Gabriel Gagne 67th overall, just went 37th in the the NHL draft.

[Shoalzie]

Carlo to Boston...makes sense.

[Lee]

2 more of my guys going early. ghule and lauzon

[thom54]

got Sideroff and Saarela at 175 and 145 respectively . BOth in the 80's. Another NYR pick though after last years two ... NYR scouts and I have similar guesses .... for better or worse lol

[Matthew]

Jordan GreenWay: He went a bit later than my selection, but I think he will be an effective NHL'er eventually. I like that he went to Minny.
BBKL = #39
Prediction = #57 (EDM)
NHL = #50 (MIN)

Martins Dzierkals: I couldnt be more pleasantly surprised to be wrong, although I wish he was selected by a different team.
BBKL = #157
Prediction = #113 (WSH)
NHL = #68 (TOR)

Dmitry Zhukenov: I think he was underrated going into the draft, so not surprised he went earlier. Super happy Vancouver grabbed him.
BBKL = #177
Prediction = #153 (TBL)
NHL = #114 (VAN)

Stephen DesRocher: Stop taking my players, Toronto.
BBKL = #163
Prediction = #160 SJS
NHL = #155 (TOR)

At this point I may only have 4 of my 9 selections taken in the NHL draft. Yikes.

Still to come: Trevor Moore, Dmitri Yudin, David Jankowski, Vyacheslav Leshchenko, Rodrigo Abols

[Shoalzie]

4 out of 7 taken...and that's without a pick past early 6th round. Really surprised Ryan Larkin was past up with so many goalies going late in the draft. He'll get to showcase himself at Miami so we'll see what happens with him. It's good to have 90 roster places.

[bills09]

57 Mattthew Spencer taken 44 by TBL
59 Mitchell Stephens taken 33 by TBL
70 Erik Foley taken 78 by WPG

NASHVILLE Predictions

(#8 BBKL) Pavel Zacha = #6 New Jersey
(#11 BBKL) Zach Werenski = #8 Columbus
(#14 BBKL) Evgeny Svechnikov = #22 Washington --> #19 Detroit
(#25 BBKL) Denis Gurianov = #27 Anaheim --> #12 Dallas

(33rd BBKL) Jack Roslovic = #28 Tampa Bay --> #25 Winnipeg
(41st BBKL) Robin Kovacs = #38 Columbus --> #62 Rangers

(64th BBKL) Denis Malgin = #89 Rangers --> #102 Florida
(73rd BBKL) Kevin Stenlund = #77 Florida --> #58 Columbus

(102nd BBKL) Veini Vehvilainen = #126 Carolina

(124th BBKL) Dominik Simon = #180 Tampa --> #137 Pittsburgh
(134th BBKL) Vili Saarijarvi = #133 St.Louis --> #73 Detroit
(138th BBKL) Sami Niku = #115 Nashville --> #198 Winnipeg

(158th BBKL) Joni Tuulola = #141 Columbus --> #161 Chicago
(161st BBKL) Frederik Tiffels = #160 San Jose --> #167 Pittsburgh
(169th BBKL) Alexander Younan = #133 Dallas

(198th BBKL) Petter Hansson = #151 Chicago --> #202 Islanders
(199th BBKL) Linus Olund = #138 Carolina

2 exact predictions.

3 guys undrafted (very surprised by Vehvi and Olund, and Hansson&Niku were close)

on top of those three, 4 players selected in a lower range than where I picked them.

6 players were instead selected in a higher range.

Niku & Vehvilainen the biggest fallers when comparing to my prediction.

Very pleased with Saarijarvi and Simon destinations!

[lightupdadarkness]

Drafted Gabriel Gagne 67th overall, just went 37th in the the NHL draft.

Drafted Sebastian Aho 114 he goes 35th overall

[Bruyns]

Dennis Gilbert #84 Ducks
Will Borgen #98 Flyers
Anthony Cirelli #93 Hurricanes
Connor Hobbs #117 Oilers

Gilbert BBKL - 106 went 91 to CHI
Borgen BBKL - 109 went 92 to BUF
Cirelli BBKL - 136 went 72 to TBL
Hobbs BBKL - 142 went 143 to WSH

I was optimistic with my predictions and was close other than Hobbs who went where I took him. Combined 95 spots ahead of BBKL draft spots with my 4 picks. I'm sure a few GMs had 95 spot jumps for one prospect, but still very happy with my 2nd BBKL draft and also added 3 '14 picks who I feel made significant improvements in their draft +1 years in Lintuniemi, Friedman and Blais.

[Bruyns]

Zborovskiy taken at 79 in the NHL was our highest prospect not taken in the BBKL.

Dante Saliturno taken at 91 in BBKL was our highest prospect not taken in the NHL.

[kyuss]

I have no idea where my guys will go really, someone else feel free to predict on my behalf!

83 Timashov #149 VAN
88 Sandstrom #148 ANA
94 Bondra #142 SJ
117 Jaros #120 TB
184 Schweri - undrafted
185 Jurusik - undrafted

Hmmm, those predictions don't look so hot......try again!

hey, that didn't go bad actually!

Timashov 125
ok, Sandstrom 70... (not sure how you can draft Sandstrom ahead of Vladar after this season, but I guess it's just me)
Bondra 151
Jaros 139
Schweri undrafted
Jurusik undrafted

great job other than Sandstrom

[Florida Chris]

Here is my BBKL picks compared to NHL

1 (7) Mikko Rantanen 1 (10)
2 (37) Anthony Beauvillier 1 (28)
2 (54) Mitchell Vande Sompel 3 (82)
4 (107) Gustav Bouramman 7 (201)

my Bouramman pick was off, but I think he could be a big time steal for Minny.
