I'd rather Lindstrom if they go with a forward. Saying that I would prefer a defenseman
2024 NHL Draft Picks 14, 42, 43, 76, 108, 109, 161, 172, 204 (Draft on 6/28 and 6/29)

I don't think he'll be there when Buffalo finally picks. That combo of position, size and game is going to have him around 3 or 4 IMO if the draft happened today.

And he is #2 in the EP composite rankings.
So, Sam C being lower on him seems to be an outlier take.

I see very little of that mock happening outside of Celebrini going first. I wouldn't hate the Buium pick as he's a hell of a player but if I'm going LHD give me Silayev. I would be ecstatic with a Yakemchuk pick over Buium
ONG got it right. Silayev or Yakemchuk. Yakemchuk is a can't miss top4 RHD, probably 1st pair. All depends on how much they like Silayev and if he is there at 10/11 (which is where I think we end up)
Beaudoin or Humphreys in round 2

I know we have power and dahlin but I would prefer silayev when I saw yakker I thought risto it was earlier in the year though

We haven't drafted Dmen of this caliber since Risto and Zads.

Brandsegg-Nygard wins the battle to clear the zone, Noah Steen moves it to Vesterheim for the goal.
That line also has the 3rd goal for Mora IK today, off Steen's stick in front. It would be interesting if Norway could start producing some hockey talent. (They need youth rinks.)
Edit - they were involved in three of Mora's 4 goals in the 4-3 win. Steen had two, Vesterheim one. Brandsegg-Nygard remains a guy I would be very interested in since he plays a contact game and plays up to (and above) his size at this level.

I always look forward to the HFB and X posts declaring that "Bob doesn't know what he's talking about!" when their favorite prospect is slighted.
The annual explanation that Bob takes a survey of his margarita bros who are NHL scouts, GMs, AGMs, etc... and he does an average of those listings too.

Ten out of 10 NHL team scouts surveyed by TSN have the 17-year-old Boston University freshman centre at No. 1. Almost all of them can’t see anyone other than Celebrini going first overall on June 28.

So Buffalo is in the 6th draft spot, a smallish winger is ranked 6th...confirmed accurate.Macklin Celebrini the unanimous No. 1 prospect in Bob McKenzie's mid-season draft ranking | TSN

So looking at that top 15 -- I am seeing a distinct lack of size among forward prospects (hell, even the D in our range aren't exactly big guys). Lindstrom could be the 2nd forward taken, so I'm not anticipating being able to take him.
That said....it looks like Hemming, Greentree, Chernysov, Sennecke and Brandsegg-Nygard are in that 15-20 group and have some size.........and I know NOTHING about any of them. Time to do some digging.
And I'm not sold on Lindstrom even if he's there. He's the sort of guy who probably gets a bit overdrafted because of the idea of what he might be. I've tried watching him more and there is some of Connor Geekie or Kirby Dach there for me - someone needs to kick him in the ass at times to get the most out of himself. That's in limited views, I'm just not seeing it yet.
Then I watch Berkly Catton and that kid is another Tasmanian devil in pursuit and pressure, never seems to take any time off ever. If he was an inch taller, it'd be no question. Brandsegg-Nygard seems like he's settled a bit into the 20's and some criticism is for his U20 performance. It's odd when pros use a particular tournament to gauge a player - watching his Mora games in Allsvenskan and he is really interesting. I'm not sure Buffalo can figure out a way to get a pick in that 20-ish range shy of flipping down from wherever they wind up to end the season shy of some sort of miracle.
If they go defense, I'm most curious about the younger Jiricek. I figure Silayev and Levshunov are gone - not banking on losing out that hard nor winning any ping pong ball battles. Adam Jiricek has some Strbak-plus to his game to me in the bits I've seen.
