Jan Levine: Fifth annual Hockey Buzz Mock Draft underway,, MTL pick in, AZ/PHI on deck Pick #5

What!? No cheerleaders for Kar's pick?

Without trades and much marketing for the event this year it seems to be less entertaining. That is probably my hot take. Will Smith in Montreal is a great pick though

I think it’s one of things under the category of “something to do” during the dog days of no hockey.

When we would trade everyone would fight and yell at us 🙄

I agree, but given the late start in getting this running, there was no real time to allow trades with voting as well. My goal was to give people something to read and be involved in prior to the draft. Real life interceded for me, apologies to all if this is less interesting or engaging than in prior seasons, I get it

No apologies, Jan. You do plenty to entertain us, year round.
Happy Father's Day.
