Lucas Raymond is the most un-Swedish sounding name I've ever heard .
I imagine we will pick up a few more draft picks by end of season.We don`t have 4th (Deslauriers) and 7th (Del Zotto). Deslauriers trade is really a head scratching one but oh well
Doubt we will get a 4th for DeslauriersI imagine we will pick up a few more draft picks by end of season.

I'm guessing they are as Swedish as Barkov is Finnish. Barkov counting as Finnish only because his dad a Russian hockey player was playing in a Finnish league at the time, he really should be playing for team russia instead of finland. Finns don't like Russians. In WW2 the Finns kicked Russias butt & the Russians retreated from further invasions of Finland despite Russia outnumbering them like 1000 to 1, the greatest soldier of WW2 was a Finn who killed like 500+ soviets while being only 5'3 in height Simo Häyhä - Wikipedia - This is why Finns are like modern Spartans.

You are teaching Wikipedia Finnish history to an actual Finn.I'm guessing they are as Swedish as Barkov is Finnish.

They get the most out of a small population, producing high per capita NHL prospects like how in war they were so heavily outnumbered but per capita their soldiers were better than most.One Finn doth not make a whole clad of Spartans. Simo is the White Death and no one else carries that name. Simo did what the Spartans and others with the Spartans at the pass couldn't... Hold. LoL
Similarly, there's only one Finnish Flash, Teemu Selanne. Not all Finns are will be come Teemu's.

Lucas Raymond had a better showing yesterday than Alexander Holtz, though both players didn't particularly stand out.
Whereas the 2019 draft had an abundance of centers at the top-end, the 2020 draft has an abundance of wingers/defensemen at the top-end. Raymond, Holtz, and Gunler (who I think is unfairly overshadowed by the former two) are impressive wingers coming out of the SHL. Drysdale, Barron, and Schneider are impressive right shot defensemen.
Ideally id love to get 1 of Barron or Drysdale... there is a # of RHD in this draft in first 2 rounds... so hopefully we can snag 1.
Not being Sparta is also a good thing.One Finn doth not make a whole clad of Spartans. Simo is the White Death and no one else carries that name. Simo did what the Spartans and others with the Spartans at the pass couldn't... Hold. LoL
