Gezzzz Demidov is a monster now

Impressive. That's the kind of spurt hopefully Hutson gets soon!

 

[Lockin17]

No Mock draft looks the same besides Celebrini being #1.
Don't remember seeing that.
Between #2 and #15 is soo close.

My Final Top 5

SJ : Celebrini
CHI : Levshunov
Ducks : Parekh
CLB : Demidov
Habs : Iginla

A #1D, Kaprisov 2.0 would be incredible.

If Reinbacher becomes Pietrangelo 2.0 and michkov becomes kaprizov 2.0, would you be alright with the pick then?

But if Leonard becomes Wilson 2.0 then i would be mad

Bad news folks I just participated in a mock draft and all of Demidov Lindstrom Iginla were off the board.
I selected Zeev Buium over Sennecke.

Damn, Iginla went top 4?

I mean, you probably made the same choice I would have in that situation.

Most people are adamant Levshunov and Silayev are better options.

You would honestly take tom Wilson over Alex Pietrangelo both in their prime?

 

[Ozmodiar]

Somebody said so? The general consensus seems to be that his ceiling is first line talent. Seems reasonable.

No, nobody said so.
You just got hit with a straw man argument. lol

Meh, we picked our two-way guy last year. Give me the more dynamic one.

This was a topic I was listening to on TSN690 earlier today with Marco D'Amico. If Lindstrom and Demidov both go in the top 4 the Habs will be sitting there at 5 with most likely Silayev, Buium, and Dickinson sitting right there for them.

The question then becomes do the Habs see any of these 3 defenseman as being that potential top pairing true #1 NHL dman, which is a very difficult position to fill in the NHL along with a true #1 center. If so do they just take that dman or do they take one of the remaining lower tier potential top 6 scoring forwards remaining in a Sennecke, Iginla, or someone else..

If they feel one of these dmen could be that potential top pairing true #1 dman that would be very difficult to pass up on IMO so I'd just draft one of them and then move a dman or 2 already in the system for forward help.

So D’Amico just being D’Amico, parroting what others have said countless of times before him.

Draisaitl and McDavid completely out of gas tonight. The playoffs are a completely different beast. Make sure we draft players that can still be standing and fighting on game 7.

Yeah, definitely don't draft any guys like McDavid or Draisatl.

You ain't gonna find players that you'll be able to play 40 minutes a night

They just over relied on them, something normal in such a high stakes match down one

we should definitely avoid drafting guys like McDavid and Draisaitl

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

So did McKenzie release his final draft rankings list?

Team game. Florida does not have a top 2 like that, but better balanced otherwise, thanks to Zito 3D chess. And, I speculate (not the only one, I'm sure) that Draisaitl is playing injured.

Edit: still, if not for Kulak brain fart(s)... They might be playing overtime.

Make sure we have enough relevant guys that 2 guys don’t have to carry the whole team…

Demain à midi.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we soon learn that Draisaitl was playing with a couple of assorted season-ending injuries at once.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

According to Basu his guess on the Habs top 5

Lindstrom
Demidov
Buium
Sennecke
Iginla.

Godin's

Lindstrom
Levshunov
Demidov
Buium

And he's not even sure if there's a number 5.

Basu says if Levshunov and Silayev are there, the Habs will have interest.

Lindstrom
Levshunov
Demidov
Buium
Silayev

For Basu's updated list as he assumes Silayev and Levshunov will go before the habs pick.

So you're telling me that all this talk the last few days about the habs picking Buium over Demidov was for nothing???

Yes, Draisaitl has been injured since the Canucks series. He missed a lot of practice time.

He was still a beast on faceoffs. One of the best forwards on the planet.

And make sure you don't go down 0-3 and having to win 4 straight. Valiant effort though the play with the goaltender pulled was hard to watch however.
