Simashev could be a great top 4 D, but him being picked above Michkov perfectly summarizes how ridiculously underrated small skilled forwards are becoming in the eyes of the NHL
 
Not a great pick by Yzerman. Ceiling is 2nd line centre but he’s likely to top out as a good 3C.

This draft broadcast might be the worst I've seen. The only voice I recognize is David Amber. I guess Chuck Fletcher is there but he seem reluctant to say much. The other guys are jabronis.

They're barely utilizing Elliot on trade news.

Assen na yo!
 
I wouldn’t let Sam Constantino scout for a Junior B team.

How he’s a draft/scouting expert on Soortsnet is beyond me

I thought Arz was going to go with Simashev's teammate But with their 2nd pick. They go off the board with the two big Russians, should be interesting how this plays out.

MyNHLDraft has been pretty good with this draft order the two Arz picks aside.
 
I hate Buffalo so much. Their roster has the same trajectory as ours but they have an incredible prospect pool because they don’t give away picks like candy.

Benson is highly skilled but he is tiny and isn’t a great skater.

Matthew Wood still available.
