2023 NHL Mock Draft - TOP 10 Post Lottery

This is my first take at a mock draft after the NHL Draft Lottery. Was the lottery rigged for the Blackhawks?

Obviously, this will help the Chicago Blackhawks sell more season tickets but I think it's a bad result for Connor Bedard. Let me know what you guys think down below.

This video is an NHL Mock Draft 2023 that includes:

Connor Bedard Highlights
Adam Fantilli Highlights
Leo Carlsson Highlights
Will Smith Highlights
Matvei Michkov Highlights
Dalibor Dvorsky Highlights
Zach Benson Highlights
David Reinbacher Highlights
Oliver Moore Highlights
Ryan Leonard Highlights

Finally a mock draft that has Montreal taking Michkov 😂

[NoRoids_JustRage]

We have 42 million in cap space this off season, we got the best prospect and still have all of our insurance picks that Davidson acquired incase we didn't get Bedard.
We can take contract that are 1 or 2 year deals from teams that need to shed cap space, I see no issue weaponizing our cap to get decent players to play with Bedard

Great top 10 list. As a Canucks fan, I'm hoping some teams reach (Montreal, Arizona, Philly) leaving some of these guys (Moore or Leonard maybe) available at 11th. Not sure who the Canucks might target if all those guys are gone. Maybe Barlow or Yager.

Yup, super disappointed the Blackhawks won this.

[ChillAcord]

Where do you get the prospects clips from?

[philtorrez]

You have a pretty good board, but the only way the coyotes are taking a forward at 6 is if Michkov is available and even then, who knows. They already have Cooley, Guenther, and Geekie in the cupboard to compliment the likes of Keller, Schmaltz, Crouse, and Maccelli. I definitely see GMBA going off the board and taking the best BDA as opposed to the BPA simply to fill their needs kinda like what Detroit did with Seider. Valimaki and Moser are good, but not top pair. The need a blue chip D prospect in the worst way.

Michkov latest rankings is at 175lbs too, not 148. Big difference

[tometheridge]

Blackhawks have a ton of top picks in the next couple years and a ton of cap room

[planco]

If Michkov is not available at n.5, should Habs go for Dvorsky for possible slovak trident Slaf-Dvorsky-Mesar?

[pierrebertrand]

1=Bedard 2= Fantilli 3= Carlsson 4= Michkov 5= Dvorski

[MrXanderii]

Michkov is too small. To many small players for the habs. They need will Smith or Leo karlson. Michkov would be better with a team like Columbus or San Jose

[jyynarpalisenniemi]

I mean we Blackhawk fans are happy. We also have a lot of picks and some promising prospects. We have one of the brightest futures in the league.

[moemorea]

The Canadians said there not gonna take michkov?

[Exaris]

Since Chicago intentionally wasted an entire year to get Beddard, they should be penalized for a year for Beddard not to play for the Blackhawks or get him traded to somewhere else before the next season. That should actually be a League policy change for at least the top 3 draft picks if the team's management intentionally tank the season for the top draft pick.
