The #18 targets in the range from16-21 that KD couid be deciding on unless somebody rankedvin the top 15 on the BobMckenzie final ranking (10 NHL scouts poll) falls and whom they like better(?):
16.Adam Jiricek RD
17.Micael Brdsegg-Nygaard RW
18.Liam Greetnree w
19.Jett LuchanloC/RW
20 STIAN SOLBER GLD
21 Chernyshov
24 .Michael Hage C/RW
I think Greentree is out..does not check the skating box for KD.
If they take Demidov at#2 then need at RD may prevail and IF Jiricek there ,I think KD may bite.
Even though we are stronger in pipeline at LD, would still take Solberg over Jiricek . I THINK HAWKS NEED MORE physicality on D..
If they take Levshunov at #2, they will not Double down on RD with Jiricek if still on the board at#18 ..they could go Solberg and forgoe any forward in first round in such scenario..but I think KD would take a forward ...Brandsegg-Nygaard * /Luchanko* Chernyshov*/ or Hage* if still on the board ..Oneonta two of these forwards likely picked before 18. Do not know how KD's board ranks them.
Justc aying...barring a trade using thec18th pick,these seem to be likeliest scenarios for the pick.

I honestly hope we get Stian Solberg just for you. I will be thinking of you on the weekend, Fiddy. Not unlike basically every other weekend

Yep.
But I wonder what type of offer would it take for Kyle from Chicago to pull the trigger?

I just can't believe that there are teams who even think there's a player head and shoulders above the rest that is worth moving up to 2nd overall to grab.

maybe a team in top 5-10 know that hawks are leaning defense and want to see if they'll move back and be ok with dickinson, buium etc instead of levshunov and move up team would take a forward

They'd be wrong to think that.
And if Kyle Davidson is turning them down for Levshunov, then he's even more wrong than they are.

60% of the scouts think he's the 2nd best player in the draft.
30% think it's Levshunov.
I forget who has that last 10% and no other player got a vote for 2nd best.
In a vote for the 2nd best player in the draft, Demidov got 6 of the 10 votes.
By that definition there is a consensus that he is "head and shoulders" above the rest.
Just nod in agreement with Bob.
Winning 60-40 against the field is a landslide. Then factor in all of the other scouts and services that have Demidov at 2. It's a clear consensus

Hawks fans if you're a betting man/woman who are you guys selecting at 2? Levshunov or Demidov?
Betting gonna say leshunov but nothing has been leaked other then a local beat guy saying it’s him
