For the sixth straight year, SB Nation's network of 30 team-specific hockey blogs got together to simulate the first round of the NHL draft.
This 2015 NHL mock draft begins on Wednesday, June 10 and will run for two weeks as we prepare for the real thing on June 26 and 27 in Sunrise, Fla. The staff of SB Nation's 30 NHL team blogs made picks on behalf of their real NHL teams, in the real draft order that we'll see at the event in Florida on June 26.
Trades between teams were allowed in this mock draft, but no team decided to indulge.
