2024 2nd Overall Artyom Levshunov

[deytookerjaabs]

He literally says: "If Anaheim gets the second pick in the next draft, they will take Belarusian defenseman Artem Levshunov, and the two of them [along with Mintyukov] will terrorize the league for many years".

To me, it sounds like he is commenting Anaheim as a guarantee to pick Levshunov as their highest pick and is pretty confidend assuming Levshunov would go 2nd and if Anaheim doesn't get to pick second, they would miss him.

He was saying it in the context of talking about his client MIntyakov as a matter of irony, again, before the lottery.

Anaheim went well "off the board" to take their guy.

Again, until you show something where someone with inside knowledge says Anaheim had Lev higher than Sennecke I'll go with Sennecke being their guy regardless of Milstein commenting on his client going 2nd overall. If the context of the quote had nothing to do with Mintyakov that would be different.

Such a bizarre conversation. Dunno what the point of it all is.

Sure, in the theoretical world where all that matters is your stupid f***ing model.

Not really anyone I despise more on the hockey twitter world than him. Useless ass model. Literally.

A little early isn't it ?

 

[CallMeShaft]

I have less of a problem with his model as I do the opinions he makes based off his models. The model doesn't take context into the equation. It's up to him to add that information into his predictions and not just double down on what the model is saying.

Him talking shit about Nazar (I think it was last year), saying Frank would never become a star because nobody with similar stats to Frank in their D+1 season went on to become a star is a clear example of listening to the model and not taking into account the context of why his numbers were like that. The kid missed most of the year due to a hip injury, if the model doesn't want to take that into account, maybe he should when he posts that information in a tweet.

Anaheim and Columbus will be, sure. San Jose absolutely won’t be and there was never a debate about who should go first.

I don’t think we will be regretting it either but way too early to tell.

That guy is such a loser and his content shouldn’t be allowed to be posted it’s that bad.

I just mean that it doesn't tell any story. The numbers on it are purely tied to production. Its a waste of time to look at.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Not to mention, the guy admitted he doesn't even watch Blackhawk games. Forms opinions based off of other peoples opinions and stats.

 

[Dead Meat]

Lev and Korch to Rockford!

villain! scoundrel!

 

[Kevin Musto]

Lev and Korch to Rockford!

I don't see Lev going back to Rockford

 

[TLEH]

I don't see Lev going back to Rockford

He's already there.

 

[Kevin Musto]

He's already there.

oh, for playoffs

thought that was regarding next season projection

Well now I have to go to the game on Saturday.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Bader compared Rinzel to Justin Schultz, no credibility at this point, but yes, at least Anaheim and especially Columbus should be regretting their decision. It seems KD likely had Lev/Demidov 1a/1b for the pick at 2 but tie went to Lev because he is a RHD, was in NA already etc etc...

at the time I was kind of happy the trade fell through with Columbus because there was a chance it would end up top 2 but now I sort of wish CBJ had not preferred the guy with the cooked back; its looking like it would've worked out better for both teams if the trade went through, but Schaefer/Misa etc is still a good outcome

Demidov absolutely dominated? lol He had a great 1st 10mins of the game, and then disappeared, and then was a big reason why the Hawks scored the go ahead goal in the 3rd.

Dominated so hard his team lost a (almost) must win game to a bottom feeder.
