NHL Staff Mock Draft 2.0: Celebrini is No. 1, but where do Levshunov, Silayev, Demidov land?

1. Nashville Predators: Eric (EJ) Emery, D, USA U-18 (NTDP)

The Predators drafted a high-end skating left-shot D in the first round last year when they selected Tanner Molendyk, and they’re excited to take a high-end skating righty with more size who could potentially pair with him long term in Emery. That’s a strong start to their back end of the future. — Scott Wheeler
