I mean if Levshunov go #2, sennecke to ANA, I could see CLB take a shot at Demidov or trading their pick to a team interested in him and couple teams passing him in to start the defenseman parade (Silayev,Buium,Dickinson)Dont know where you saw that, but everything i hear is Lindstrom at 4 to CLB
Going to take quite a bit to move from 11 to 5. AVs first wouldn't do it. Unless Konency was in it. But doubt Philly would.
I would call Philly offer 5 for 11, Farabee and Flyers first next year top 5 protected.
He’s injured because he’s over-utilized in defensive assignations because we have nobody else. If he leaves, who will fill the load? It takes about five years for Ds to learn how to play with the big boys. Unless we replace Guhle with an experienced D, it’s a great recipe for disaster.
We’ll never agree here. So enough for me. Enjoy your draft, man. Prolly our last ‘exciting’ one in years.
All part of the psyops.
Habs trade the jet pick or not???????????????????
Holland moving on - this was expected.
Oilers hesitant to hire a rookie GM.
Or Philly has upped their offer
They'll be trading the #4 pick
They went heavy on those Vegas buffets is all.
I mean, did we not learn a thing from last years draft? I’m having fun participating in the madness but am really expecting nothing too.Considering all the media seems hyped, I'm going to predict that nothing interesting will happen. That's usually how it goes.
Has there actually been any top 6F/3D Russian that refused to come over ? I think no. The only guys who bolt or do not come over are the ones that arent that good and will have o play in the AHL or the 4th line, so they prefer to stay. Top Russians always come over. So to me the only Russian issues are viewing, and thats recent..I don't know who made that 2nd overall argument as I don't have time to read previous pages on this rapidly moving thread but Michkov was ranked 5th on Bobby Mac's poll of scouts last year and Demidov is ranked #2. Of course every team has a different list and this year there lists are more variable as there isn't much separating the next ~10 picks after Celebrini which is why there is so much uncertainty in where players ranked near the top will go. This is the only thing all the hockey pundits seem to be unanimous about.
The Russian factor will always be there plus we keyboard warriors don't personally know the players and haven't interviewed them in person. NHL scouting teams have done their homework on all the players. Russians are more difficult to evaluate in this sense as scouts don't have as much access to view them live, talk to coaches, teammates etc.
Yeah.Top defense prospects:
David Reinbacher
Lane Hutson
Logan Mailloux
Adam Engstrom
Bogdan Konyushkov
Top forward prospects:
Joshua Roy
Owen Beck
Sean Farrell
Filip Mesar
hope.... but gut feel no he does notThe fact that Demidov came to the Florida combine, is almost 6'1 and over 190 pounds, speaks decent english and says he is not signing an extension in Russia...with all that said...do you really think he slides to #5?
No. Hence why I picked Buium in the poll. But if available, I’m confident Montreal will make the right choice and pick him.The fact that Demidov came to the Florida combine, is almost 6'1 and over 190 pounds, speaks decent english and says he is not signing an extension in Russia...with all that said...do you really think he slides to #5?
He slides all the way to 9 in Pronmans mock draft this am.The fact that Demidov came to the Florida combine, is almost 6'1 and over 190 pounds, speaks decent english and says he is not signing an extension in Russia...with all that said...do you really think he slides to #5?
Something about being in Vegas brings out the crazy stuff. Expect more movements than usual especially with the Cap increasing.I mean, did we not learn a thing from last years draft? I’m having fun participating in the madness but am really expecting nothing too.
I would be so shocked if...they don't take himI would not be shocked at all if Chicago takes Demidov.
Yep another Crosby/Malkin tandemI would be so shocked if...they don't take him
For me there is zero chance that they pass on that talent..zero
I hope so but I can't imagine this team pass on a chance to draft a superstar winger..playmaker for their sniper Bedard
The Habs have such a good pool of solid young D, they should be the ones making these types of moves.I don't like the idea of someone trading up to 4.
