Hey all it's Dale Murphy! How are you doing!

I decided it's time for me to put up a mock draft. That's right! Not just TPE, I also want media money for my mock draft!

Here we go!

1. Jamie Frasier   
   Seems like everyone wants Jamie here. Playing for Carolina, he had 2 goals and 13 assists. I think the Patriots nab him, and he turns into a great defender for them.
   
   
   
2. Max Belcher 
   I like Seattle going with Belcher here. Another strong defender, with a line of 2-10-12. Just one of those points on the powerplay. I think he'll be a great asset for the backend of the Argonauts.
   
   
3. Alexa Johansen 
   I like the Dragons taking Jonansen here. The first forward off the board, she put up a line of 13-22-35. The -61 is a bit scary though. I think Calagry will be very happy to see her available here, and they add an excellent forward.
   
   
4. Anna Skovgaard  
   Anna had a 29-39-65 line in Québec. Very productive, and the Rage grab her off the board.
   
   
5. Ylib Kove  
   Coming off totally blowing up their team, the Blizzard grab Ylib with their first first rounder. Yup, they have quite a few. Kove, a right winger put up a 13-24-37 line.
   
   
6. Jennifer Huh  
   Huh, didn't the Dragons just pick? While the pick that once belonged to the Monarchs, they grab a great passer. Huh had a line of 9-24-33 in Kelowna.
   
   
7. Jim Wieners
   The Syndicate here grab a winger from Nevada. With a line of 19-45-64, that's a good amount of scoring for Wieners!
   
   
8. Stavros Kondos 
   With Montreal having another pick, they take Kondos. The winger had a 11-22-33 line, but it's all about the potential that every scout sees in Kondos. He looks like he'll be a great SHLer is a few seasons.
   
   
9. James Howlett 
   The Dragons use their third first rounder on Howlett. The center from Great Falls had a 20-33-53 line. With three top ten picks, the Dragons are set up nicely for the future.
   
   
10. Nathangus McExplosion 
    How about the Inferno? McExplosion exploded for a 18-29-47 line in the Js on the cup winning Colorado Raptors. The Inferno would also like to be cup winning, so they grab a winner.
    
    
11. Cade Die Vries 
    New Orleans goes with a defender in Die Vries at 11. With real potential, T think the Specters will be happy with the way Cade develops over the next few seasons.
    
    
12. MattyJ 
    With their 3rd pick in the first round they go with MattyJ. That's just one name, correct. MattyJ put up 50 points for Newfoundland.
    
    
13. Deth Klaw 
    
    Second pick of the round for the Blizz. A 12-28-40 line for a defender? Wow. Great fit for almost any team. 
    
14. Will Nuck 
    Nuck put up a 10-20-30 line in Maine. Steelhawks able to get him at 14 to strength the d pipeline.
    
    
15. Thomas Hudson 
    Hudson went 17-25-42 from the left wing in Great Falls. I'd say that's pretty solid. Grabbing him plus Belcher at two gives Seattle a plus forward and a plus defender.
    
    
16. FORFEIT (EDM) 
    It's a shame the Blizzard won't make this pick. They could've had 5 first rounders in the same draft.
    
    
17. Savva Kirik 
    Here are the Blizzard actually picking. Kirik is a rock solid defender for the Knights. The 7-15-22 line on the offensive side is nothing to sneeze at either.
    
    
18. Mativy Cajabi 
    The Forge grab themselves a forward. While the team probably needs a defender more, Cajabi is just too good to pass up here. A 15-34-49 line for Anchorage. Oh, and the Forge never stop drafting Armanda players.
    
    
19. Braden Point 
    Tampa finally gets to pick here, and they take a centerman with a 9-24-33 line from Detroit. Gotta love all that passing! Point should look to improve on a 43% faceoff percentage or else a move to the wings might be in order.
    
    
20. Robo Sven 
    

With the final pick of the first, the Blizzard take Sven here. Their fourth player from the first round, Sven is a winger on the Whalers, putting up a 10-46-56 line. That passing is a thing of beauty. I think it will transfer well to the bigs when Robo gets his chance.

So what do you all think? Is my mock draft on target? Are the Blizzard crazy having 4 first rounders? Or is it the Patriots will three picks in the top 10?


That's all today folks!

Dale Murphy signing off!

Is there a 2x draft media?
