Adam Fantilli for the Ducks

Matvei Michkov for San Jose​

Why isn’t Dvorsky in the poll?

Pretty big omission considering he’s most likely who I am picking at 6. Debating between him and Leonard if none of the top 5 fall.

I agree, add Dvorsky to the next poll (I think he might have been included in the third and/or fourth poll). I feel strongly that Dvorsky will be drafted ahead of Sawchyn.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Smith will go to the Habs at 5 based on the board.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

This top-5 was pretty predictable in this order. It really opens up at 6 with Arizona.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Do the sharks really take another undersized winger instead if smith? Even though matty is super good? They need a solid 1c but I guess they’ll be lottery team the next couple years

 

[majormajor]

@Hasbro Jr Habs fans were pretty big on Dalibor Dvorsky, he probably gets a good chunk of votes here. You absolutely have to include him in polls going forward. He's 6th on Bob McKenzie's poll.

75% of the voters on the Sharks board chose Michkov. Will Sharks management make the same decision on draft day?

I guess that depends on how they see Smith compared to who might be available with the pick acquired from the Devils.

It’s crazy that Dvorsky isn’t on the list. Barlow, too.

Michkov isn’t just any undersized winger. He’s a potential generational talent. In our position, you snag it, wait, build, then inject him when available.

I seriously won’t be surprised if Anaheim takes him. Not one bit. Besides his obvious scoring potential, he’d be a marketing chip that would help both orgs significantly.

Uh.. Dvorsky is highly contested on our board.

I'd say there's a large group of fans with extreme trepidation that we will take him at 5.

Def could see it but Anaheim has had fan PR videos that show the big three every time. Plus what fantilli brings to the table especially the tenacity and bite is something we’re sorely lacking

I think if you are the Sharks you just go with highest talent available.... and thats michkov... they need centers sure, but they got 2-3 more years of drafting pretty high to grab 1. At this piont they need a lot of things.

I imagine sharks have top 5 pick next year and the year after to aim at a center. Also doesnt include assets they get for guys like Karlsson/Hertl/Couture when they move on for them.

I think with their devils pick, they prob aim at a dmen tho, i think the defensive pool is pretty dried up.

Where is the poll... and who is ?????? thats a creative name going to arizona

For what its worth 75% went with Michkov

The polls are being made on the team's board. So if you click on say Will Smith's name in the OP of this thread, you'll be linked to the thread on the Montreal Canadiens board where the voting took place.

The question marks represent the current vote taking place on the Arizona Coyotes board. If you click the question marks you will be taken there.

 

[Hasbro]

Ryan Leonard to Zona.

 

[PullHard]

Looks like the flyers pick is a landslide

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Looks like the flyers pick is a landslide

Benson is a really good fit for them too. A playmaker to go with guys who can really shoot like Foerster, Tippett and Gauthier.

 

[Hasbro]

Benson to Philly.

 

[Ulysses31]

Would I be wrong to be stoked if Reinbacher is there at 9th for DRW come the actual draft?

 

[majormajor]

Will I be wrong to be stoked if Reinbacher is there at 9th for DRW come the actual draft?

No, he'd be a great pick at 9. So much so that you shouldn't expect him to make it that far.

I want the Sharks to pick MM but voted Smith because that’s who I think they will pick. Are we supposed to vote for the player that we would pick or who we think the team will actually pick?
