If this was possible, I would do this without a doubt. I do wish this happened but really doubt it would. I'd even take 13-15th overall.

I don't disagree with that.Besides the handedness, for me Buium has a better chance to develop more defensive chops while Parekh has more of a danger of being just offense. I don't think either are ever a lock down shut it down guy in their own end, but I suspect Buium has a chance to be serviceable at least and fear Parekh may not.
Tack on that bum Lukas Reichel and we can easily move into that rangeIf this was possible, I would do this without a doubt. I do wish this happened but really doubt it would. I'd even take 13-15th overall.
Looking at the NHL CS final rankings, imagine if they got Demidov at 2, Hage at 20, Surin at 34, and Hutson in the late 2nd. WhewLike most drafts there's a sweet spot to draft players. It feels like there is a pretty steep drop-off from 17-25 range for me. Then there is a flat tier where you can put 30-40 names up from picks 25-65. Last year there was a significant dip from picks 9-22 and then it flattened heavily from pick 22-62 for me. I like the depth and the top 5 of last years draft a bit more, but players in the 9-22 range are of much higher quality this year. It feels like there is a lot more blue chip prospects with a lesser quality top 5 comparative to last year. A slightly above average class for me

The picks at #20 and #34 barring we don't move up are probably going to be structural picks. So I'm betting the Hawks are looking at bigger forwards and offensive minded defensemen. Usually in those ranges you are looking at a few guys that are all the same level of prospects. It's not like a top 10 pick where you pick BPA no matter whatLooking at the NHL CS final rankings, imagine if they got Demidov at 2, Hage at 20, Surin at 34, and Hutson in the late 2nd. Whew
I don't value 2nd round picks that much but doesn't this chart disprove its own estimations by saying the proper return value would be in the 9-12 range?
20 -> 10 is only ten spots at the end of the day. A 2nd doesn't have to be that valued since you're not making up so many spots. It's not infeasible at all that 10th ends up nothing because 10th is already well within the "yeah they can definitely bust" range, and 20th ends up really good, or they both end up nothing and 34th ends up good.I don't value 2nd round picks that much but doesn't this chart disprove its own estimations by saying the proper return value would be in the 9-12 range?
If we pick 10th in the draft next year and KD trades that for #20 + #34 I'd be pissed. The value of these draft picks going down very quickly outside of the top 15 or so. You're WAY more likely to get a good to great player in the 9-12 range than you'd be to get two good players at 20 and 34 no?
Completely agree. Do not trade down unless it's one of those extra late firsts or 2nds.I don't value 2nd round picks that much but doesn't this chart disprove its own estimations by saying the proper return value would be in the 9-12 range?

The speed is there for sure.I think Jett Luchanko could easily be the Hawks target at 20.....seems to fit the KD mode completely....of course, it depends on what happens and who's still on the table, but just sayin'
Demidov and yakemchuk pleaseHypothetically speaking say if Davidson can move up to the 13-16 range, would you guys draft Demidov then see if you can grab a Yakemchuk/Jiricek or draft Levshunov and see if you can grab Eiserman/Helenius?
Way too low on Dickinson.Like most drafts there's a sweet spot to draft players. It feels like there is a pretty steep drop-off from 17-25 range for me. Then there is a flat tier where you can put 30-40 names up from picks 25-65. Last year there was a significant dip from picks 9-22 and then it flattened heavily from pick 22-62 for me. I like the depth and the top 5 of last years draft a bit more, but players in the 9-22 range are of much higher quality this year. It feels like there is a lot more blue chip prospects with a lesser quality top 5 comparative to last year. A slightly above average class for me

Unless Jiricek falls to 20, I don’t think there is a RHD worth taking at that spot. You could take Emery but is he really a top 20 player? I don’t think so. It seems like an overreachPick 20 should be another forward.Solberg a really mean defenseman with our first second rounder would be a nice add.Nygaard and Solberg two Norwegians.Size and both good skaters.
If NJ moves off of 10, I doubt they would be looking for picks in return.NJ does not have ax2nd roubd pick...
So IF Hawks decide to try to move up from#20 maybe NJ would move down from 10 to 20 + get #34 and our first 3rd rounder?
Or amotger team tgat might drop down for a good haul is Detroit at #15 ...In that case they only move down 5 spots...but would get #34 .. as the sweetener.
We have the draft capital to try to move up..
Anotger possible sweetener is to give up one of our plethora of LD ..eg .Nolan Allen and make a larger deal..
Kd has lots of strategies he could try to movevup.
If we dod move to #10we might consider Carter Yakemchuk instead of securing Sennicke ..
It’s an overreach I suppose but he fills a spot of need and if you like the prospect, you can’t count on him being around 14 picks later so you shouldn’t try and get fancy. The 20th pick doesn’t need to be a swing for the fences if you’ve already taken Bedard and Demidov the last couple years.Unless Jiricek falls to 20, I don’t think there is a RHD worth taking at that spot. You could take Emery but is he really a top 20 player? I don’t think so. It seems like an overreach
Yes Agreed , hopefully both Norwegians are still on the board when we make our picks !! SkolPick 20 should be another forward.Solberg a really mean defenseman with our first second rounder would be a nice add.Nygaard and Solberg two Norwegians.Size and both good skaters.
Higher likelihood he goes top 10 than him making it to 20.What do people think of Yakemchuk and is there a possibility he lasts to 20?
