NHL Mock Draft: Beichler’s Final 3 Round Mock

The New Jersey Devils have several holes in their system that demand to be filled. The selection of center Clayton Keller is a good start, and the Devils are thrilled to see him available at 11. With Keller and 2015 pick Pavel Zacha, the Devils have a great one-two punch at center. <p><strong>Draft Profile:</strong><strong> <a href=. C. USA NTDP (USHL). Clayton Keller . 11. player. 85

12. player. 91. Somewhat the Canadian version of Keller, Tyson Jost is a smallish center who spent his draft year in the second-tier BCHL. But after his Under-18 Worlds performance this year, the Ottawa Senators have little doubt that his 104 points in 48 games will translate to the next level. <p><strong>Draft Profile:</strong><strong> <a href=. C. Penticton (BCHL). Tyson Jost

Some scouts like him more, others like him less, but No. 13 seems like a realistic draft projection for Michael McLeod. The Hurricanes add a high-quality center to their prospect pool after trading long-time captain <a href=. C. Mississauga (OHL). Michael McLeod . 13. player. 109

Charlie McAvoy . 14. player. 70. The Boston Bruins get Boston University defenseman Charlie McAvoy at 15. Makes sense, doesn’t it? <a href=. D. Boston U (NCAA)

15. player. 98. The Minnesota Wild are in need of a scoring forward, both wing and center, and get a nice one in Kieffer Bellows. They would have loved to get a potential top-line center in Jost, Keller or McLeod, but since they are all off the board, Minnesota opts for who they believe is the best winger available.. LW. USA NTDP (USHL). Kieffer Bellows
