Bob McKenzie’s list:
1. Macklin Celebrini
2. Ivan Demidov
3. Artyom Levshunov
4. Anton Silayev
5. Cayden Lindstrom
More it goes, and more I think Iginla will be our pick.. principal cause is Demidov and Lindstrom are gonna be claim
He also has a really good pedigree
1. One of the youngest player of the draft. (He won’t stay at 6ft and 190 lbs. wich is already fine)
2. Has a really good tournament wjc-18 and playoff in the WHL
3. His qualities are well transposable (score around the net, elite shot).
I could see a next Zach Hyman wich is pretty useful.
I see him as a 5th best player on a contender team, so behind Suzuki, Slaf , Dach, Caufield, thats fine. I think he could be more useful than Caufield btw.
HuGo arent always concenssus pick. They will pick him, even if they could at 9.
I say SenneckeIf Demidov and Lindstrom are claimed, from all what's out there, it's going to be between Buium and Sennecke.

He also has a really good pedigree
1. One of the youngest player of the draft. (He won’t stay at 6ft and 190 lbs. wich is already fine) his developpement curve his always up. (Catton, lindstrom. Bad playoff)

Senneke droped some too I think 11
Cole E at 14
Berkly at 12
interesting
Next best forward - Helenius!I’m all over the phone if Iginla-Sennecke+Catton+Eiserman are still all available at 10
I really wonder what’s the plan in place if top 5 takes away both Lindstrom & Demidov… I think you gotta get a D moving, pick Lev/Buium and add another top 15 pick
IMO not very well. Nemeč was my top pick in 2022, I think he's a better skater, passer, smarter, and a better defender. Levshunov could stay on this development curve which is what you'd be banking on, but I don't see it as particularly close between the two of them at draft time.How does Levshunov compare to S Nemec?
still think Senneke is our guyI've thought this for months now. Demidov had a chance at slipping but not after his new weight/height. The only other guy I would consider over Iggy is Dickinson.
Iginla is hot trending and very young. Very hungry to improve and he will fill in to reach his father size (6'-1" and 210 lbs). He already has a NHL shot, great U18's, Great CHL playoffs, and knows how to play in traffic and along the walls. His body protection on the boards is well ahead of the curve. His father is not only showing him how to shoot the puck, he's showing him what it takes to be effective with less time/space.
Take the guy you think will improve the most. Iggy is my pick. Won't be upset with others though. Lots to like with several guys.
Just proves how close several guys are. It really is a deep top 14.
Teams keeps their best player and let their worse on the tradeblock. This not as simple saying, « lets get a D, and will trade someone later for a forward ». Forward right now on the Market are Necas, Zegras, Laine. they are all on the market for a eeason and this is not really attractive. Having a young force like Iginla, scoring 30 goals. And + at 22 years old and be a force in playoff, it something you won’t be able to get from another clubI've thought this for months now.
