This !
Mock draft or not, I would love to see a scouting system/mechanic that makes the entry draft much more uncertain and enjoyable to take part in.
In reality, lots of 1st rounders become bust, many don't ever play a game in the NHL. On the other hand, many late rounders become great players, a few become superstars. Even undrafted players !
Just now, look at Kaprizov, he's the result of a 135th pick 5 years ago.
This would also give more value to late picks and avoid abusing the AI by bundling them together and trade for a higher draft pick. It would also take away of the sure value of 1st round picks and tanking abuse.
