2015 NHL Draft: Beichler’s Full First Round Mock Draft

As the Stanley Cup finals may be decided in Game 6 tonight, the 2015 NHL Draft will be the next big event. For many fans it is almost like Christmas, as Santa is bringing fans their teams’ new generation of players.

The Colorado Avalanche’s Santa is Joe Sakic with his helping elf Patrick Roy. The problem is that there are a few very intriguing prospects that would be great fits with the Avalanche. Those include Mikko Rantanen, Zach Werenski and Pavel Zacha.

But even though we mainly cover the Avalanche here at Mile High Sticking, this is not all about the Avs. There are 24 other teams looking to pick a future star for their franchise and I predicted who they will select.

As mentioned above, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are not quite over yet and the 29th and 30th picks of the 2015 NHL Draft may still switch depending on the outcome of the finals. However, that would not change anything in my selections for the Arizona Coyotes and Philadelphia Flyers, who currently own those two final picks.

So here we go! The 2015 NHL Draft!
