The movement on Buium’s line for 3rd overall today alone is absolutely wild

not sure why anyone would want him 3rd overall.. hes good but not that good.

Three separate people have heard he’s going 3. Now they could have just heard from eachother lol

 

[BondraTime]

I’d say it’s pretty obvious why teams would want him ~3rd

Seems to be the heavily favoured at this point, and seems to be growing and frowning.

-180 to go exactly 3rd on B365

Lindstrome -190 to go exactly 4th

Levshunov -450(!) to go exactly 2nd

Bookies obviously think the intel is solid in the first 4 picks

I was hoping Levshunov might drop, obviously not

Demidov seems to be likely to drop to at least 5th, according to bookies, despite Bob’s ranking and the TSN mock with Button this afternoon

He was +1200 5 hours ago, that kind of movement is pretty reliable.

i guess but i think hes the 4th best d man .

 

[BigRig4]

I got it in at +750 when I heard Marek say it.

Seems like the top 4 is:

Celebrini
Levshunov
Buium
Lindstrom

We could have one of Demidov or Silayev there at 7 which is crazy since Bob's list had them 2 and 3 iirc.

i guess but i think hes the 4th best d man .

That's exactly where I have him too

 

[SquidNasty]

Buium at 3 is a great pick. Bummer he won’t drop to us but it’s not at all a reach.

Yes it seems there is compelling intel

I hate these type of precision odds though, when the bookies aren’t willing to back up the line with the inverse odds minus their take. I would love to take “anybody except x” at any of those positions at +odds

-200 now for Buium, looking like a lock.

Also interesting: the over under on Beckett Sennecke is set at 6.5 and he’s -370 to go top 10. Would not be at all surprised if he’s our pick.

 

[Ouroboros]

Looks like the stars are aligning for the Sens to extract a lot of value with a trade down.

don't say thattt sennecke would not be a good choice at 7 lol

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

I would love Demidov to drop and then Habs pass on him, I will love the Habs fan’s reactions

Edit: If he falls to us and we pass I may melt down lol

 

[Wallet Inspector]

It's a longshot, but Demidov might be available at #7 if things go like:

San Jose-Celebrini
Chicago-Levshunov
Anaheim-Buium
Columbus-Lindstrom
Montreal-Iginla
Utah-one of the top defensemen
Ottawa-Demidov

If Demidov is there at 7, we shuold be trading back with someone who wants him, because the Sens are not likely to be taking him

???

I always laugh at takes like this. I'll trust the pros if they go that way.

Someone posted here that Staois stated that the Sens aren't going to care where a player is from, so it seems like Russians are on the table.

Where he has belonged all along.

 

[aragorn]

Just another example that this draft is all over the place & the BPA depends on who you talk to or listen to or who they like at that time. Regardless, IMO there is going to be a very good player at 7th OA, but there's also the chance with a few guys they could be bust players in the making. Hope they choose he right guy.

 

[bert]

not sure why anyone would want him 3rd overall.. hes good but not that good.

He was literally better than Celebrini in the frozen 4 and the WJC.

Edit*

By laughing at the statement above I assume you didn't watch? Even Celebrini said he was better in the frozen 4. He didn't get scored on for 7 straight elimination games. Averaging 28 minutes a game en route to national championship. Was also USA's number 1 d at the wjc.

 

[stempniaksen]

We live in a world where Demidov and Silayev could be there for Ottawa at #7 and they'd pass on them for Dickinson/Sennecke. Draft day is here with a bang!

New GM really dont know that. But if he is there I think they should they could get tremendous value and a player that's just as good of they don't move too far back.

He did say that when asked about drafting Russians specifically. Said Nationality doesn't matter.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I've never bet on the draft before. Are markets open during the draft for who goes next?
