It's always fun to reflect on my NHL mock drafts and break it down by the numbers, but it's also nice to have a head-to-head comparison with pick-by-pick
results over seven rounds.

I provided that for my 2016 mocks and readers really seemed to appreciate it, with some reaching out to say they missed it in 2017 when I only had time to publish one mock.

The good news is both versions are back for 2018, recapping my seventh annual mock draft that published on June 8 as well as my consensus last-minute mock that went live on June 18 - with tweaks based on further research and feedback from scouts, media and fans.

This project wouldn't have been possible without Brandon Share-Cohen, who kindly shared the code from THW's Draft Tracker, which he updated throughout draft weekend as one of the unsung heroes for our THW team.

So stick-tap to BSC, as we call him, and here is a legend to help you follow along:

N31 - Next 31, the next 31 names on my draft board that didn't quite make the cut for my 217 selections.

HM - Honourable Mention, there were 420 and 472 prospects listed for my respective mocks.

RE - Re-Entry, there were 13 unsigned prospects as of June 1 that re-entered the 2018 draft, but I didn't make room for them in my original mock and rather provided my projected placements.

NR - Not Ranked, there were 13 and 12 prospects drafted in 2018 that didn't appear in my respective mocks.

Without further ado, let's see how I fared for 2018 . . .RELATED: By-The-Numbers Breakdown for 2018 Mock DraftsFIRST ROUND
