Hockey Buzz Mock Draft: Dallas' pick is in, Ott on clock, 'Peg on deck

The second annual Hockey Buzz Mock Draft continues. Jack Hughes went first to New Jersey, Kappo Kakko was selected by the Rangers and Bowen Byram landed with Chicago. Following a trade with Colorado, Buffalo selected Alex Turcotte while Los Angeles tabbed Cole Caufield and Detroit’s went with Vasili Podkolzin. Colorado traded the 7th pick to New York, who picked Trevor Zegras while Edmonton's selected Dylan Cozens. Anaheim traded their pick to Florida, who took Kirby Dach, and Vancouver dealt their pick top Colorado with the Avalanche taking Matthew Boldy. Philly selected Philip Broberg, Minnesota grabbed Philip Tomasino and Anaheim tabbed Peyton Krebs. Arizona’s took Victor Soderstrom, Montreal selected Cam York, Vancouver’s went with Moritz Seider and Vegas grabbed Alex Newhook. Dallas is up.

Overall Rules and Process:

After the pick or trade is made, a poll will be posted to rate the selection or deal. If the majority of people like the pick or trade, that selection stands and it moves on to the next team’s picks. If not, the majority rules and that’s what happens with that team and pick. I have the last right of refusal to keep everything on the up and up and avoid ballot box stuffing. My request to you is that you take this serious and not make a mockery of the mock draft, because that would be an insult to the others who are participating and makes the whole process a sham. But by playing this out, we get to have healthy debate and conversation to remain engaged up and possibly beyond the draft. If teams make deals and they occur before a team’s selection is due, that deal will play a part as to when each person’s selection occurs.

Here how this is working: each evening (for now, one pick per day, but we will go to two when we get to second half of the mock draft and possibly even before that, so that we complete on time) the team’s selector emails me their pick and rationale for that selection to [email protected]. If making a trade, the same applies, and all the selectors have been listed below along with their screen name if from this site or their twitter handle if external to help facilitate making trades. I am posting that pick and rationale on the site and create a voting poll. For now, we are using just a yes or no vote for the poll, but if people want me to list other options for the selection at that pick number in cases of a no vote, I am happy to do so, to help make it more robust.


With the 18th selection, the Dallas Stars select Arthur Kaliyev from the Hamilton Bulldogs of the OHL

Rationale for the selection:

Kaliyev is often considered to be somewhat of a one-dimensional goal scoring winger, but his offensive upside is too good to pass up on. As Jamie Benn gets older, Kaliyev could fill his role as he grows as a player.
