I don’t put a lot of stock in mock drafts because so much can happen and one team doing the unexpected, or one trade, can upset the whole applecart. Plus it’s a whole lot of guessing.

Still, they make for some fun reading, I guess.

Here are a couple:

One, with a slideshow, by Kevin Allen, our hockey columnist for USA Today. ^[1]

And one by Kyle Woodlief, of the Red Line Report ^[2], via USA Today.

Here’s what Allen said about the Rangers’ pick at No. 28:

28. D Matthew Finn (6-0, 195, Guelph, OHL): The read on him is that he’s a smart player who gets the job done on a regular basis.

28. New York Rangers — Tim Bozon. Call this one a hunch. He seems like the type of speed-and-skills winger with upside that Gordie Clark likes, and the Rangers are certainly on the prowl to find some secondary scoring.
