Which site? I just checked Fan Duel and they have him at 4th at +500

Isn't Martin Madden a heavily respected scout...if they're so keen on drafting Buium 3rd overall, why were/are we so against that possibility at #5?

Because we have ten thousand LD and no forwards. The issue was never with the PLAYER, it was what the player brings vs what we have in system, and what we don't have in system vs options.

Buium at 5 is fine (not my guy but it's fine) if Demidov and Lindstrom are gone. It's not fine if Demidov is there.

Because mock drafts say so.

Also because there's some overlap with Hutson in terms of role (although I like Buium more).

And the latter was why I was more concerned, I also know you're not an idiot, just having fun. Congrats too if I never said it before. Knowing what I know, you've come along way and I am excited for you and your family.

Thanks buddy!

My hope is that tonight we draft my son's favorite player - having him grow up watching Ivan Demidov in a Habs jersey, now that'd be special :)

Makes sense...but then it flies in the face of what I always read with another despised term of mine "BPA".

Yep. Buium is a stud.

I so wanted us to grab Buium at 5 and trade up for one of the forwards at 10. Bleh
