Wheeler had this to say about Lakovic in the mock article I linked above (Wheeler has Lak going to Columbus at 14):

Going into the combine, Lynden Lakovic is a name I kept hearing a number of the teams in the 11-19 range liked. Then he did well in his interviews, by the sounds of it. I think he's going to go higher than people think, and I think the Penguins are the start of where he's in the mix.

He's the one player I wouldn't want, but I like hearing that he could be picked before Calgary goes up.
That Pronman piece is always a good read. Last year, it had a scout saying Sennecke was in the discussion to go right after Celebrini). But it's only opinion of a few scouts and execs so it's a little all over the map especially since the boards are all over the map this year.
The comments on Eklund, however, are interesting. He could be the type of guy that falls because a team likes that one player just a little bit better.
