Winnipeg Hockey Talk Mock Draft:
This Mock Draft list is a combination of the top prospects as well as my prediction for their possible destination based on team need and some regional familiarity. Teams will deny this happens but don’t be surprised if the Senators take a run at Sean Monahan and Montreal at Anthony Mantha or Frederik Gauthier. Maybe the Jets take a run at Madison Bowey!!
Trades can be expected.

Honourable mentions:
There was a group of players in the 20-35 range that I thought were fairly close. Not a lot of difference just organisational preference. There are good players going deep into round #2.
