that's wild. hope he isn't drafted and doesn't mess up his next opportunity. at the end of the day, hockey is a business, and some of these behaviours means he needs a reminder to stop being such a shitty person.

 

[Jaynki]

I dont f***ing care and i now want Zeev Buium 5th overall. I watched him a lot tonight and i don't f***ing care that he is a LD.

The potential is a top 10D league wide in his prime.

Buium, Lindstrom, Demidov, its exciting.

I feel ya brother. We're all going schizo. This draft needs to happen now before I change my mind on who I want for the 8th time.

Yeah if Demidov/Lindstrom are gone and Iginla is not the forward we're looking at I'm at the point where I wouldn't mind a D.

Roster projections years in advance is a pointless exercise anyway. There are numerous examples of it blowing up in our faces in the past.

#CollbergGalchenyukBozon

Additionnally, while we have many good Ds in the pipeline, I fail to see that bonafide quarterback within the organisation. There are a couple of candidates but no slamdunks.

Say what you want about Hutson he very much still is an unproven commodity.

I can't state how high i am on Hutson.

It is irrelevant

Buium is just too good to pass up.

Buium - Reinbacher is a contender 1st pairing for 15 years

I trust Hutson to be an elite PP quarterback. It's his ability to munch around 25 minutes night in and night out that remains to be seen.

Man this draft seems so far away

I concur.

 

[Habssince89]

I'm not sure if it's because I haven't done as much research this year or it's just a really tough to discern group, but I'm less worried about who they go with than normal. I've seen rational arguments for like 6 different guys.

I think we finally are in a high position in a draft that basically leaves us a good safety net. In a few years yeah maybe we regret not drafting someone but whoever we pick at 5 should be a great addition

Tomorrow night :

“I dont f***ing care and i now want Zayne Parekh 5th overall. I watched him a lot tonight and i don't f***ing care that he is a RD.

The potential is a top 10D league wide in his prime.

Parekh, Lindstrom, Demidov, its exciting”

 

[WeThreeKings]

I vastly prefer Demidov + Reinbacher to Michkov + Dickinson/Buium/Parekh

Man this draft seems so far away

Only 18 days. It’s right around the corner

This draft gonna be wiiiiiiiild especially if the rumors are true about them trading up from #26. If we pick 5 and a pick from 10-15 this board gonna go insane on draft night.

All that for Silayev at 5 and Helenius at 13

Silayev is a stud. We would be very happy to have him. Kid played with Bogan Konyushkov and under Igor Larionov.

Lol I was just kidding, I want nothing at all to do with Silayev/Helenius. Like please anybody but them...

But that’s just me. Whatever happens happens I’ll be cheering for the team regardless.

You don't want a 6ft7 mobile 2-way defenseman that can play physical? Jk, everybody has their preferences for sure. I hope we land Demidov, but if not, I would be very happy with any of Dickinson, Buium or Silayev.

After 3 seasons of tanking, if we come out with a franchise forward, franchise RD and franchise LD then we are pretty good.

 

[Habssince89]

Let's not forget that if we take a D at 5, Hughes will definitely be bringing in another Dach like asset at forward

Welp looks like Canadas cup dreams are hanging by a thread

 

[salbutera]

Oilers simply getting no rebounds in front of the net - unfortunately for Edm that’s where majority of playoff goals are scored

Two-way presumes he has offensive upside, which he doesn’t.

 

[overlords]

EJ Emery compares himself to K'andre Miller, so we can say it right?

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Did not say he was a bust I was answering to a poster saying how could Lindstrom not be dominant ? For me RyJo was good, not dominant

RyJo flashed dominance, it didn’t quite happen for him but sometimes that’s beyond the talent. Very different from Lindstrom though

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Sure hope he turns the puck over less in playoff situations. Holy moly was Miller bad these playoffs....

Exactly, DND. Not even a debate and I’m sure not even a name being discussed with our management group.

 

[Habs Icing]

I can see how this draft is gonna unfold at pick 5 for the Habs right now. Demidov will be sitting there at 5 and just as the Habs are gonna announce their 5th pick Eiserman will unexpectedly walk out on stage, grab the mic and announce he's gonna choose himself as the Habs 5th pick.

Aw, no worries. His ego is too big to wait for the 5th. He'll do it for the 1st overall.

 

[Lockin17]

we should draft like in 2022 with Slaf and Mesar

Lindstrom and Basha
or
Demidov and Chernyshov
or
Silayev and Artamonov
or
Eiserman and Hutson
