I've seen Chernyashov in that 12-ish range and he's got some PF to him but still leaning Brandsegg-Nygard.

Chernyashov was one of my early favorites when I foolishly though the curse would lift and they'd pick 17 or 18. Those thoughts dissipated 1 Nov. Anyways, I still like him, he's more skilled but less dogged than Brandsegg-Nygard.

They probably belong there imo. I like these rankings

*this is not an endorsement of the CSB. It's a flawed tool, but it is still a tool.

DraftPro simulator is out and my first attempt was pretty damn perfect if I say so myself

12 Cayden Lindstrom
43 Yegor Surin
76 EJ Emory
108 Julius Miettenen

Then it was a bunch of longterm prospects like hometown kid Jack Sullivan, Russian power forward Matvei Babenko etc

How does Macklin Celebrini compare to recent No. 1 NHL Draft picks? Scouts, execs weigh in

We asked six NHL scouts and executives to rank the last nine No. 1 picks in the NHL Draft and this year's projected No. 1 pick, Celebrini.

I’d feel really bad for San Jose if they don’t win. Really pulling for them here.

San Jose and Columbus for me. I wouldn't mind if Seattle gets it either. But not Chicago.

And also, trying to figure out what to do at 2OA just turned my stomach. This is supposed to be fun while the coffee is brewing, not strenuous.

Those are the same teams I'm rooting for. I don't want to have to make a Sophie's choice but I might give up #2 to the luck gods in order to have Chicago to drop.

I suppose it would be like 2018 where my favorite player to watch outside of the favored 1OA pick was likely going 5-8 and yep, QHughes went 7th.

So just clicking... I get this:

We'd pretty much have to go Demidov if we get 2OA, right?

I went there. I think he's going to be amazing.

More Surin vs. Demidov for those who partake:

 

[Chainshot]

Demidov left in the first period with what looked like a leg or foot injury, not expected to return.

I'm a Surin fan, he has that understated nastiness about him. The old FAFO if you mess with him

I don't understand why mid-season rankings have him in the 30's or 40's. That kid should be in the late teens IMO. If he's there and Buffalo has 43OA, RUN to the podium to take him.

He's definitely moving up the rankings. Without looking as at work on my phone, his contract status maybe the detractor with the rankings

Signed through '25-26 is fine with me.

Nice timeline, brings him over at 20yo after 2yrs of KHL seasoning.

Had people expecting me to be like Gus, sociable. Go talk to the girls that's what you're here for not ruining my hockey fix

Yegor Surin? Yeah, big fan. Definitely a 1st round pick to me.
