Wasn't Button supposed to release his final mock draft just after Bob's final rankings?

- celebrini
- luvshunov
- silayev
- lindstrom
- Demidov (easy decision)
———-
- celebrini
- luvshunov
- silayev
- Demidov
- lindstrom (plan a or plan b )

Plan a:
- draft lindstrom

Plan b:
- they don’t like the medical report
- trade down to 9. Cal will be chomping at the bit to draft iginla. Late first added.
- draft Helenius, Sennecke, catton
- package 2 late firsts and D to move back inside the top 15.

1. If Demidov is off the board (90% sure), we go after BUIUM or Dickinson
2. We trade Matheson, a good prospect and WPG first round pick for the Wild's first rounder and Yurov
- Then we draft one of : Catton, Sennecke, Eiserman, Helenius or Brandsegg-Nygard


Caufield - Suzuki - Slaf
Sennecke/Catton - Dach - Yurov
Newhook - Beck - Roy
RHP - Kapanen - Heineman


Dickinson - Reinbacher
Hutson - Guhle
Xhekaj - Mailloux

Extra: Engstrom

On the block : Mesar, Barron, Struble, Harris and so forth

Pronman's mock last year was pretty bang on. Only switched Carlsson and Fantili but had the top 5 players right.

I think the top 5 players this year will be Celebrini, Silayev, Levshunov, Lindstrom, Demidov but apart for Celebrini, the order could very well change. The only outsider i can see getting in is Dickinson but i would really be surprised.

Nice! Love stuff like this.

Biggest movers are Eiserman, Iggy, and Sennecke? Eiserman slipping and Iggy/Sennecke sneaking in that fringe top 10. Rest are pretty stable. I'm guessing but the movement is less vs other drafts.

Man, I'm going to revisit this later after we do redrafts. I find it very interesting to try to find the hits and busts in that top 15 in this draft.

So this is the 2026-27 lineup?

Only thing to keep in mind is it just takes one team who's in the top 5 and ranks an outsider top 5 to mess things up. What if Anaheim is a team that has Yakemchuk at 3? What if Columbus has Helenius at 3?

Then we get wasted because we hit the jackpot

As long as Anaheim drafts a D at 3, it doesn’t matter who it is from our perspective. We just need 2 D taken in the top 4. And Helenius ain’t going 3, you know that.

He won't go to Anaheim, no. But Columbus could very well be one of the teams that are that high on him.

I hope Levshunov and Silayev go 2 and 3, so Columbus can take Lindstrom and give us Demidov.

You guys don’t have to worry. The Hawks aren’t using a 2nd overall pick on a winger they never scouted live over a 6’2 RD that they’ve seen 20+ times and interviewed/taken to dinner. Plus he has an infectious personality. There’s just no shot they don’t take Lev.

I also can’t see Verbeek taking a forward, it’s the last thing they need.

Madden’s interview made it sound like the Ducks really liked Silayev but I don’t know. Anaheim has a plethora of young D (Zellweger, LaCombe, Mintyukov, Luneau) plus Fowler/Gudas under term.

I think they could take Demidov at 3
