2014 NHL Mock Draft - January Update

The rich get richer

By Derek Zona
USA TODAY Sports

Funny thing about the 2014 NHL draft - until the trade deadline rolls around, the first two rounds have a decidedly rich feel. The Blues, Ducks and Sharks, ranked 1st, 2nd and 4th in our Power Rankings, hold 10 of the first 59 picks in June. The deadline will have an impact - it's likely that some of those 10 picks are going to move to the lower echelon teams in the league.

The sources for the consensus list are The Scouting Report, Future Considerations, ISS, Red Line Report, Craig Button of TSN, Corey Pronman of ESPN and Bob McKenzie from TSN. Their rankings are weight by their accuracy in ranking previous drafts: Bob McKenzie's rankings carry the most weight as he was the most accurate prognosticator in the group.

The source for the draft order is the Copper & Blue Power Rankings.
