2016 NHL Mock Draft: Coyotes draft Auston Matthews
Check out FanSided’s NHL mock draft as the Coyotes get their hometown hero.
The 2016 NHL Draft will be held from June 24th to June 25th in Buffalo. No one knows for sure what will happen during the draft but here at FanSided, we have tried to guess what other teams will do. Perhaps the hardest thing about the NHL Draft is guessing which teams will win the lottery.
Since the NHL Draft lottery is a random process and the worst teams are not necessarily guaranteed even a top three pick, we have taken the liberty of simulating the draft lottery courtesy of Tankathon. The first three picks were chosen through the lottery system. After that, the order ascends from worst to best using point percentage since some teams haven’t played as many games as other teams.
Here is the order that Tankathon came up with for this NHL mock draft.
- Arizona Coyotes
- Toronto Maple Leafs
- Montreal Canadiens
- Edmonton Oilers
- Winnipeg Jets
- Columbus Blue Jackets
- Calgary Flames
- Buffalo Sabres
- Vancouver Canucks
- Ottawa Senators
- New Jersey Devils
- Colorado Avalanche
- Carolina Hurricanes
- Detroit Red Wings
- Minnesota Wild
- Philadelphia Flyers
- Nashville Predators
- Pittsburgh Penguins
- Boston Bruins
- Tampa Bay Lightning
- San Jose Sharks
- Anaheim Ducks
- Chicago Blackhawks
- New York Rangers
- Florida Panthers
- New York Islanders
- St. Louis Blues
