With the 16th overall pick in the 2020 SB Nation NHL Mock Draft, Eyes On The Prize selects, from the Shawinigan Cataractes of the QMJHL, Mavrik Bourque!
Each year, as is tradition, the SB Nation NHL sites make the first-round pick of their respective team. Sometimes the choices are easy, but the further you move down, the larger the pool of options extends, and the harder the exercise becomes. After months of research, and then some more months of research, we reached a consensus.
Mavrik Bourque is EOTP’s player.
- NYR – Alexis Lafreniere
- LAK – Quinton Byfield
- OTT (from SJS) – Lucas Raymond
- DET – Tim Stützle
- OTT - Marco Rossi
- ANA - Jamie Drysdale
- NJD - Cole Perfetti
- BUF - Anton Lundell
- MIN - Alexander Holtz
- WPG – Seth Jarvis
- NSH – Dawson Mercer
- FLA – Jack Quinn
- CAR (from TOR) - Yaroslav Askarov
- EDM - Jake Sanderson
- TOR (from PIT) - William Wallinder
- MTL - Mavrik Bourque
At this point in the draft, there wasn’t going to be a prospect who would change the face of the team immediately, or even one who could do it the year after.
