NHL 2008 Draft: Mock Draft Board Top 10

Luke Schenn. He is sixth on almost every draft board I have seen and I think he will be regardless if the Blue Jackets trades the pick or not. I really have a feeling this pick will end up in the hands of another team. Schenn is the best shut-down guy in the draft.

Seventh Pick- Toronto

Mikkel Boedker. He is one of my favorite players in the draft. I think the Leafs need his youth and skill. This is another player that could crack the lineup next year. I have this terrible feeling that Toronto might go after Kyle Beach. They seem to be on a rebuild with really scrappy and physical players tirade.

Eighth Pick- Phoenix

Tyler Myers. Indeed this is a bit of a stretch, but the Coyotes already have more centers than any team could possibly need. This would make their defense much better. Their already young offense can do the rest.

Ninth Pick- Nashville

Colin Wilson. This is a gift for the Predators. He would fit their style of play very well and under the tutelage of Jason Arnott, Wilson will be an extremely effective second line Center for Nashville for years to come. I am actually excited for this team, if they end up getting Wilson.

10th Pick- Vancouver

Cody Hodgson. Hi, my name is baby Markus Naslund. Well he’s not exactly Naslund, but he may fool a lot of people into thinking that. Hodgson is about the same size and I see a bit of playing style resemblance. Trust me, picking him would be a step in the right direction for the Canucks.

Since the Blue Jackets are probably going to trade their first pick, I wanted to make sure the Columbus fans did not feel short-sheeted and I’m going to preview their second pick.

19th Pick- Columbus

Michael Del Zotto. I am amazed at how many boards agree with me that the Jackets will be able to pick Del Zotto up this late. He is a puck-moving defenseman who will do a lot to bolster Columbus’ defense and chip in offensively. I also wanted to talk about this pick because this is such a steal and perfect fit for this team.
