2017 NHL Mock Draft – January 11th

Posted on by Standard Reply

With one of the biggest draft stages in the eye of public behind us in the 2017 World Junior Championships, it’s a perfect time to look forward to the 2017 NHL Entry Draft in June to see where these top prospects may land. Before we get into the nitty gritty, a few notes:

– I think I speak for everyone in regards to Swiss center Nico Hischier when I say just very simply, “Wow.” The young center has been playing at a torrid pace for the Mooseheads this season, leading the QMJHL in points per game, and he really showed his stuff at the World Juniors for Switzerland. We saw the hallmarks of his game – speed, skill, and intelligence – in a performance that nearly single-handedly clinched the Swiss a semi-final berth. The World Juniors is not the end all for draft position, but couple what Hischier did with what he’s doing so far in Halifax, and he’s considered right up there with Nolan Patrick and Timothy Liljegren for that 1st Overall spot in June.

– Speaking of the World Juniors, how about Finland? That team just never really came together despite on paper having a very skilled, albeit young, roster. However, Sioux City winger Eeli Tolvanen was able to overcome his team’s adversity to put up a very impressive performance for Finland. The 17 year old winger led his team in scoring with a point per game pace, and reaffirmed why he’ll easily be a Top 10 pick in June. Elite package of skill and goal scoring ability, there’s no doubt about that.

– There are three defensemen listed below that were also apart of this year’s Finland team – Juuso Valimaki, Urho Vaakanainen, and Miro Heiskanen. None of them set the tournament on fire with their play, but that doesn’t take away from what they’ve done individually for their clubs this season. All three are very talented and composed blue liners, and I particularly admire what Juuso Valimaki has done in Tri-City this year. Out of all Finnish born defenseman in this draft, which there are 4 alone that could go in the 1st Round, the one with the most offensive punch is easily Valimaki, and in a league that moving towards skill, speed, and puck possession, I see him as a prized commodity in today’s NHL.

– As it always is, the top defensemen in this draft is quite a debate. There’s a clear #1 in Timothy Liljegren, but after that you won’t find a real consensus 2nd best defenseman in this draft among all scouts and writers. My personal favorite is Steelheads defenseman Nicolas Hague, who I can describe best as a left handed Dougie Hamilton. 6’6″ defensemen with his offensive punch are hard to find, and I imagine NHL clubs salivating at the chance to have him on their blue line.

– One defenseman that really exploded up the draft rankings was Brooks Bandits defenseman Cale Makar in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Makar has a somewhat smaller frame at 5’10”, but he turned a lot of heads with his offensive firepower at the U19’s where he captained the Canada West team. He’s a lock to go in the 1st Round, the question is just where. I’m of the opinion that NHL clubs will favor more versatile and sizable options first, but his raw skill could easily propel him to the mid-teens in June. The Calgary native is committed to play for UMass Amherst in the NCAA next year.
