Great article.

June 28th can't get here soon enough.

Michael Hage is my guy at 18 if we don’t trade up and he’s there. Great skater, really good hands, and has top-6 potential imo. He’d fit in perfectly with what we’re trying to build here.

 

[Putt Pirate]

I would like to get Solberg if available with our first pick of 2nd. But I suspect he will be gone by then.

I really like Hage. He's got his problems, and I could see him bust out as well due to those things, but I think they're fixable and the upside is really high for a guy you're getting at 18-25.

 

[Malaka]

Would call it a win if EJ Emery is there at 34. If we went Demidov I wouldn’t mind him either at 18

For much later round picks could these two be a good fit for the Hawks?

Vaughan twins Jaxsin and Corbin are a long shot but I don't know .. having twin native American players would be a great feel good story for the Hawks.

I wouldn't expect either of them to get drafted at all.

Sorry Musto, you have Hage down as a 2 dollar player but he's listed at 3. You must forfeit your draft now.

G - Leenders - 2
D - Jiricek - 2
D - Buium - 5
W - Poirier - 1
W - Stiga - 1
C - Helenius - 4

If Levshunov is Rasmus Dahlin, are you disappointed with that at #2?

G: Leenders $2

Hage is $3 unless you plan to LTIR around the cap

Hage Iginla Sennecke Jiricek and then off the board EJ Emery for sub <$2 + some russian sounding goalie in the 4th-6th with the spare change I saved on EJE

No.

Thatd be a win.

 

[Kevin Musto]

If Levshunov is Rasmus Dahlin, are you disappointed with that at #2?

Absolutely not. Dahlin is great.

I just don't see that in Levshunov though.

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

If Stiga is available at 50, do you take him? It seems like he’s fallen a bit

 

[jls24]

I'd be pumped to take him at 34.

 

[TheDachKnight]

Would call it a win if EJ Emery is there at 34. If we went Demidov I wouldn’t mind him either at 18

I picture a shutdown pairing of Vlasic and Emery dominating opponents the way Oduya-Hjalmarsson did.

C: Hage $2
W: Iginla $5, Stiga $1
D: Silayev $4, Brunicke $1
G: Leenders $2

Total = $15

Stiga ($1) - Hage ($3) - MBN ($3)
Dickinson ($4) - Jiricek ($2)
Leenders ($2)

Nabokov should have been option here IMO as $1 G for people. Would gleefully have grabbed him as he is best G in draft IMO

 

[TheDachKnight]

I think my dream scenario for our first 4 picks would be Levshunov, Hage, Miettinen, and Misa (small but fast and tenacious).

lol this is like asking if winning the lottery sucks
