Craig Button's NHL Mock Draft: Celebrini the only certainty in unpredictable class | TSN

Much like how everyone knew the Chicago Blackhawks were taking Connor Bedard with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, it’s no secret who the San Jose Sharks will be selecting first overall on Friday night.

Button's final mock draft.

Top 5:
1. SJ - Celebrini
2. Chi - Demidov
3. Ana - Buium
4. CBJ - Lindstrom
5. Mtl - Iginla

26. Mtl - Basha

I would be very happy with Basha at 26... Hopefully one of Demidov or Lindstrom (provided the medical team is okay with him) at 5.
 
No way they take Sennecke if Lindstrom is on the board. Demidov is a tough one because I know (doubt all you want) Molson does not want to invest in Russians in the first round. I'm really hoping Demidov breaks that mold because all accounts point to him being of great character along with talent.
 
If they can make a deal to move up from 26th I'd be cool with taking Dickinson at 5 and Eiserman at whatever spot into which Hughes can maneuver himself to get him.

Seeing him interviewed with Marinaro yesterday, Demidov didn't come off like a typical Russian douchebag in an Adidas track suit. His demeanor was more like Slaf than Michkov.
 
Long time no see :). As promised, here are my top 32. I made a point of finding shift-by-shift or complete games for most of the top-16. Especially the top10, Lindstrom aside who is low only due to the back issue. This list, love it or hate it, is my personal opinion, not what I think will happen. I'm looking more at how I see them ranked in around 3-5 years in a redraft. Best of luck to the Habs tomorrow. BIG DAY!

*If not for 2 leg injuries and still not skating , I'd have him at #4.
And if he played KHL and was close to Michkov, I'd have him at #2

**If not for back injury (herniated disc + missing 1/2 season), I'd have him at #3
