Commentary

I get the first big decision of this mock. That’s fine, it’s why they pay me to be the (mock) GM, to handle the pressure. I think Brampton winger Porter Martone is the best player available right now. Looking in the playoffs, he has the potential, if he hits, to do things that Sam Reinhart and Mikko Rantanen (in best, best case) are doing. I also am not in love with the idea of Connor Bedard as the 1C of the future, and think on a winning team he’s likely best suited for the wing. Desnoyers is my top ranked center available, and I think he’s a slight nudge behind Martone as an overall player.
