We start off the second half of our NHL Mock Draft and firmly enter the area where teams made the playoffs but didn’t advance as far as they would have liked or hoped.

There is more pressure on the scouting staffs of teams in this area, because these are the guys that are hit and miss.  The top end of the draft are usually solid, if not can’t-miss, but once you get to the second half, there are diamonds still available but you have to find them.
