NHL Draft: Corey’s seven-round mock breakdown, prospect skill rankings, listener questions, and more

First, Max and Corey go through Corey’s draft-eligible players skill rankings and discuss Justin Robidas and Miguel Tourigny as the No. 3 and No. 7 best skaters in the draft respectively, William Eklund as the most dynamic player in this year’s class, which goalies other than Sebastian Cossa and Jesper Wallstedt should people pay attention to, highly-skilled prospects like Nikita Chibrikov and Alexander Kisakov, and more. Then, the guys work through Corey’s full, seven round mock draft and discuss which teams are in the best position to make a value pick at the spot they’re currently slated to pick, whether the New Jersey Devils will unite two of the Hughes Brothers by selecting Luke Hughes at No. 4, at which point the draft turns into a “picking-by-need” affair, and more. Plus, to close out the show, the guys answer listener questions about why teams are reluctant to choose goalies with the No. 1 pick, and why Marc-Andre Fleury was the exception to the rule, if Fyodor Svechkov is being over- or underrated, thoughts on Cole Perfetti's year, and many more.
