The SBNation NHL mock draft finished yesterday with picks twenty-nine through thiry-one. Over the next ten days or so, the NHL sites here at SBN ran through the first round and decided who they thought their teams should pick. The Lightning don’t have a first round pick this year, so we weren’t included. Even so, we kept an eye on the proceedings so that you know what to expect come Friday, June 22nd when the draft starts.
We’ll cover picks 29, 30, and 31 today. Even though this is the end of the round, we still have a couple of interesting picks to evaluate including a player who slipped further than he probably will in the real draft.
