Agree on Basha. They also had Sam O'Reilly going right after that as well. He's another I would be interested in if available in the 2nd.

Themes for my targets this year are late birthdays to space out this class from our current glut, size/jam, ceiling, and a mid-round G.
11: F Tij Iginla, C Konsta Helenius, C Berkley Catton, F Michael Brandsegg-Nygård, LW Igor Chernyshov
43: C Yegor Surin, C John Mustard, LD Gabriel Eliasson, C Teddy Stiga, LW Marek Vanacker, RW Matvei Gridin
75: C Maximillian Curran, RD Spencer Gill, G Ryerson Leenders, G Kim Saarinen, C Ollie Josephson, RD Adam Kleber
107/108: G Ilya Nabokov, RD Colton Roberts, LD Lukas Fischer, C Logan Sawyer, LW Ilya Protas, RW Karl Sterner
Curious if anyone has thoughts on any of these guys or their availability at those spots.

Solid clusters. When I’m off the road I may have further thoughts but there are plenty of quality names there.

First group Iginla probably going earlier. I'd add Yakemchuk and Sennecke
2nd group Surin will be long gone, same with Stiga. I'd add Bouilard, Beaudoin and Miettenen as forwards. Elick or Emery might slide to this range
Further evidence that absolutely no one has any idea what's going to happen after Celebrini goes.

It's interesting that this trade is happening well before the draft.
Not the first time I've seen something sketchy on Craigslist

So the Isles trade back 2 spots in the 1st.....4 spots in the 2nd.......
And get a late 2nd round pick for the trouble?
Maybe I'm nuts, but that seems like Chicago paying a hefty price.
Isles need to get to retooling, kinda tidy to get an extra 2nd for that. Not sure what Davidson is playing at in Chicago, though maybe he is trying to move up into the upper teens instead? That would make this the first of a two-part deal where he shuffles something else to get someone very specific?

Yeah, my immediate thought is that Chicago is aiming even higher. And boy howdy do they have the good ammo to do so.
2 1sts and 2 2nds (still) and 2 3rds in this draft.
2 1sts next year.
3 2nds in 2026
Wonder who they're targeting.

I think they'll take Demidov at 2 and then hope they'll still be able to get one of the remaining defenseman in the top tier, ie Adam Jiricek.

Shoulda got one game in
Chicago also has a bunch of extra picks, and the Isles don’t. Both teams get what they want.

The timing is making me suspect the Isles wanted an extra 2nd to go shopping for something else, and that was the bigger motivator. Otherwise, why wouldn’t you wait until draft day and make this trade knowing what player it’s getting you?
They wait till draft day and Utah prolly uses some of their million 2nds to move up
Now I have to go back and watch full 1st round mock drafts to see who is available at 18 that will NOT ever be there at 20 
Teams are always trying to do that and then after the draft the comment is always “yeah, we tried to use our seconds to move back into the first but no one wanted to deal”.
