Danila Yurov and Kasper Puutio

Danila Yurov and Kasper Puutio

Man I was really hoping Yurov was gonna drop 10 more picks. Probably the biggest upside of any F left.

F - Jakub Brabenec - CZE

I am so confused. He was in my groups of forwards I was picking from at 30/31. Of course that was a massive group(10+ names) so it's not that surprised someone fell quite a ways, but I was astounded he's still here. It's my pool so I'm putting all the names in the list but I did a CTRL + F anyway to make sure I didn't miss it

 

[Khabby]

I couldn't believe he got through FinPanda only for you to take him

Now I gotta go find yet another D and figure out which of the 2 forwards that nobody else apparently wants I'm going to take.

You mentioned you needed a D, so I figured I would take mine before your double pick and take my F on the way back lol

I was almost certainly going 1 D and 1 F unless somehow both my 2 forwards went off the board. So obviously it depended on which D and which F you wanted. We had the same defenceman so I guess you had the right plan

I had him ranked 47th for F with 5 guys left ahead of him, but I think it's mostly due to opportunity instead of upside. I simply don't trust a coach that doesn't bring 2 of his 4 best defenseman and a top-6F. I could see him put up 10 points or 0 points based on opportunity alone. Russia is a tough draft this year for me besides guys like Khusnutdinov, Ponomaryov, Shakir, Svechkov, Michkov, Kirsanov & Chibrikov.

Russia is ALWAYS a tough team to figure out. But just imagine we were doing these drafts in the Cold War 80’s when you knew absolutely nothing about them.

Last year with Larionov it kind of felt like they were more open though (it was my first year doing a WJC draft) besides their insane reasoning for not playing their 2C most of the tournament.

This year I have NO idea what's going through their heads. Might as well be the Cold War 80's

The fact that's he's 18 before the thing starts gives me some hope. Still draft eligible but he's only got 1 more of these things after this year like a lot of guys who do well. Plus it's not Bragin's Russia anymore where 17 years olds barely got a sniff. I'm still slightly concerned which is why I took guys like Jarventie, Niederbach, Mysak, etc ahead of him. I seen Russia forward group as a group of about 7 or 8 guys that are all fairly close, Marat and Michkov with the edge of course. So I could see him on the 3rd line easily, but I believe in his talent that he can score from there so as long as he doesn't get completely buried.

Hope it works out for you. I was going to take the risk if he dropped to me.

Nikita Guslistov

and my other forward finally goes. I was getting annoyed that he might get back to me again and I couldn't take him again

 

[m0pe]

Guslistov and Sourdif were end of a tier for me.

Knew I should waited on last D
