Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Sebastian High, Hadi Kalakeche May 7, 2025 Duration: 36:28

In this episode, we do our first Mock Draft with the revealed lottery order, following the Islanders and Utah Hockey Club's unexpected wins. First, we delve into the Top 5, featuring Michael Misa at #2 to the San Jose Sharks. Next, we look through the teams picking 6 to 11, highlighted by a big rise for Brady Martin who would fit in nicely with the Boston Bruins. Finally, we wrap up the show with picks 12 through 17, with the Canadiens swinging on back-to-back upside with Justin Carbonneau and Carter Bear.
