First Round Mock Draft (and Draft Contest!)

I’m writing this Saturday night after the flurry of trades that happened before the deadline of the Expansion Draft, and still we are without a major trade for the Sabres. I fully expect at least one of the dominos to fall before the draft, but I wanted to write this mock draft before McKenzie releases his final draft rankings (and thus I’d feel like I was cheating doing this)

I didn’t do my 3 Bold Predictions Article this year, but slipping it in here.

Bold Prediction #1: At least four of the top 10 best PPG forwards in 5 years from the 2021 draft will be selected in the 2nd round of this year’s draft.
