Jan Levine: Second Hockey Buzz Mock Draft all but set, starting date TBD A few logistics to be worked out

Jan---

Thanks for taking the time to do this! I am sure that it required much more of your time than many here realize. It is much appreciated!

Would it not be within rules to also host the teams without a first round pick, as they are able to trade for one?

Works for me. Happy to oblige.

As the temporary GM of Minnesota Hypothetical-Wild, I'd like to announce that I'm open for business. Everyone on the roster can be had if it brings back the right piece. Looking to add a dynamic skilled forward. Wouldn't be opposed to trading up, either. PM me if you have any offers

I am very curious to see how the top 10 of this draft shakes out after Hughes/Kakko

this should be fun

the Florida Panthers are open for business

expecting quite a few trades this draft, even a wild one - or 2...!

could it be the greatest draft class since '03?

yeah, this draft is gonna be something

for me personally, so many American kids at the top of the draft make it very interesting to see where they all go

definitely one of top drafts ever for American born players

yup

I hope they can find some hidden gems in the middle rounds - it's quite a few interesting Swedes and Finns in there...!

As I've said before, can't wait for Traverse City. I wonder if they would have Kakko go there. He really doesn't need it, but it might be good for him to get acclimated to the other prospects on the team.

I wouldn't put it past the Rangers if they get Kakko to take Heinola if they stay at 20

draft the two top rated Fins, let them grow up together, although Heinola wouldn't get here for a couple of years

Thanks for selecting Jerry and me as Sabres GM for the 2 1st round picks!

I would vote for starting sooner than later, IMO NO need to wait for the SCPO's go be completed 1st before we start the draft!

All other GM's. Jerry and I are open for business!!

I agree, sooner the better to get ball rollin

If your team has traded away your first round pick and the team is also in serious cap trouble, you are probably more qualified to make the pick than the existing GM.

What's everybody's thoughts on the report that Taylor Hall doesn't plan on re-signing with the Devils? I understand his point of view, being that he's kind of running out of years to win a cup and the Devils will be several years away from being a contender. Devils will have to trade him this coming up season if not sooner.

I think if you have the opportunity to sign anywhere in the league you want on July 1st 2020 you dont want to just limit yourself to the New Jersey Devils

Islanders will have a good shot at signing him due to the location of the new Belmont arena, he'll have plenty of exercise.

Surprised you didn't end it after seeing Hayes on the Flyers

Anywhere but Newark should be a slogan. Maybe that should be Camden/Trenton's slogan "at least we aren't Newark"
