Early in September, the Arizona Coyotes made one last trade before the preseason began. They sent Christian Dvorak to the Montréal Canadiens in exchange for a conditional 2022 first-round pick and a 2024 second-round pick.
That pick was top ten protected, so instead of ending up with the first overall pick, the Coyotes acquired the Carolina Hurricanes' first-round pick, the 27th overall pick.
And with that pick in this mock draft, Five For Howling selects Lane Hutson of the USA Hockey National Team Development Program!
Looking at the mock drafts this year, you will find something interesting.
