Grandpabuzz’s 2009-2010 NHL Mock Draft

Notes:

• Full 7 Rounds of Draft and Undrafted Players all shown based on rank and potential

• Teams select each player based on BPA (Best-Player-Available), rather than need. This
explains why a team may draft goalies with all their picks

• Potential is proprietary valuation ranking based on various factors such as personal

• Potential does include a player’s personality, leadership, and other intangible skills which
may add or take away from player’s score

• Potential is based on a scale from 0-100 (a few may be above or below).

• As a rule-of-thumb,

o Players over 50 Potential: Good shot at playing at least one NHL game

o Players over 60 Potential: Good shot at playing in the NHL on regular basis

o Players over 80 Potential: Shot at being one of the best players in the league

• Some players did not have any or very limited information and thus were ranked solely
on Central Ranking Agency predictions

• Ranks are based on a combination of Potential and Central Ranking Agency predictions

o Central Ratings are 91% of the final rank

o Potential Ratings are 9% of the final rank

o Potential Ratings are only 9%, due to poor perception of team if pick is too
outlandish.

 Reason why many skilled players will not be drafted

• Ratings can change dramatically in a year once a player joins the NHL, AHL, or other
leagues.

o Possible reason why Taylor Hall and Cam Fowler both have low potential
readings
