Yep another Crosby/Malkin tandem

A Crosby/Malkin tandem would be another 1A-1B punch at C. Like Bedard/Lindstrom.

Except Lindstrom won't be a C in the NHL. Lindstrom is more Rantanen.

Simply means money has flowed into Buium name. At +1200, the money pool was probably very thin and a couple of bet may have been enough to move it to +500.

Dont think there is much more to be drawn from it.

Always take it with a grain of salt....but some people know a whole lot more than we do and they are allowed to bet on it, so that could also meant something as it did for the past 2 years.

Anybody wants to chip in to send a call girl to Don Waddell's room in Vegas so he doesn't answer his phone all day?

 

[Habs]

And horrible defensively

not my problem though, Utah wants to jumpstart their offense he will do that

 

[SOLR]

I would not be shocked at all if Chicago takes Demidov.

He's the consensus #2 who would be.

My TV would feel only pain

The Habs have such a good pool of solid young D, they should be the ones making these types of moves.

Unlike 87-71...Demidov and Bedard will play on the same line for the 10 seasons to come I guess.


My dream would be Demidov to fall fifth but I can't see Chicago pass on him.

Even if they have no prospect at the blue line...Demidov is the type of winger a bit like Jagr, Pat Kane and Kucherov who makes his teammates better.....now imagine Bedard with a playmaker like that

 

[salbutera]

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 very well could, fans forget GMs are in the business of team building / roster construction and BPA isn’t just G, A, Pts - especially in a draft class where there isn’t much of a gap between player projected at 2OA vs 12OA.

I'd be disappointed unless there was a trade in the mix that would land us an offensive Center/Winger. If we do draft Booyah, I trade Hutson to make that happen.

 

[Hannibal]

If we go Buium, trade f***ing Hutson for something good

 

[Tyson]

If they did that it would tell me that they see Buium as a future #1 supertar Dman in the mode of a Quinn Hughes....I won't question it.

 

[sampollock]

wonder if KH has a trade done and waiting for tonight?

That will keep him occupied for 5 minutes.

 

[Kosseca]

I don't like the idea of someone trading up to 4.

Indeed, better the devil that you know...

That said, with CLB seemingly set on Lindstrom. If Demivov goes to CHI, then that open the door for that "other" team to pick a Dman and let Lindstrom slide to MTL. If the rumor of CLB/CAR are accurate, I can see CAR taking a D

 

[crosbyshow]

Except Lindstrom won't be a C in the NHL. Lindstrom is more Rantanen.

...and Rantanen is a hell of a passer.

You are right, Lindstrom has not tge vision to play center in the NHL

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Will have this post ready to be quoted when you're wrong.

Or just put him on your IL and not bother with drivel of this sort

Team probably won’t be interest in 4OA if Demidov is gone. Attraction is picking before Montreal.

 

[bcv]

All due respect to Pronmon's mock drafts who were accurate in the past years, the Bobfather has Demidov 2nd, ain't no way he drops to 9th.

How does anyone know what Columbus plans to do? How does anyone know that Levshunov is going to Chicago and Silayev to Anaheim?

 

[junyab]

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 think it has more to do with when they come over. Like Shesterkin being drafted in 2014 and not arriving until 2019.

For the Flyers, you are right, not for CAR. That would be the price for Necas. Nothing to do with what MTL may do there
