This is my first year writing for DBTB as a staff writer, but I’ve been in this community since 2015. For the past few years I’ve laid out a pretty consistent pattern of posts that I make leading up to the draft including: the final draft rankings (coming the second week of June), bold predictions, 5 players for every Sabres draft slot, and a final mock draft/1st round draft contest.
This year heading into the NHL draft lottery on June 2nd I thought I’d add two posts to the schedule: 10 players that I’m higher on, and 10 players I’m lower on than the consensus rankings or where players have been projected to be drafted.
