Mfer looks like a young Kovalev

People getting worked up over Demidov as if they regularly watch MHL games. I do hope we take him but I admit all I have seen are stickhandling highlights. Nobody does that kind of thing in the NHL today.

You know you can find a ton of full MHL games on youtube right?

 

[salbutera]

Which is fine. At least he’s trying it. Meanwhile we re-signed Price to an absurd contract a year before his current contract had expired. Of course he had a mediocre season and we could have got him for less.

How is Price ‘s contract a hinderance in any way?

Again, Vasilevsky & Bobrovsky signed for same deal (more take home) following Price

There a price points for MVP / Vézina winners & 1st ballot HOFers

Nope and most people here don't know that either.

I was scared to say it myself, but yes.

 

[overlords]

I really like

Stian Solberg​

How can we get him with our second pick ???
Trade up i guess needs to be around #20 i guess

I like him a lot too but I'd seriously temper your expectations if you think we're spending assets to move up to grab a defensive LD

It’s still on the books and he hasn’t played in three years. That’s the hindrance. Look at what Saros just got and the cap is higher now and will keep going up.

What was Price‘s leverage? He wasn’t going to leave Montreal to go to Philly of all places lol.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Nope and most people here don't know that either.

Anyway, there are definitely quite a few people who don't watch games and just watch highlights or clips. But a lot of us have watched multiple games from each of these prospects.

For me, it's obvious that Demidov won't be able to play the exact same way in the NHL, and will need to improve his lower body strength and rely a bit less on 10-12 skating. But he's really smart, has great reaction time, is committed defensively (not necessarily good yet, but puts in the effort which is good. Anything beyond that can be taught).

He's on his own tier between Celebrini and the rest of the pack for me.

Who would take Buium over Levshunov?

Maybe if you’d watched Buium at all, you’d have some insight.

Van was ready to open the vault.

Again, think Molson would’ve been fine w letting Price go?

Price deserved his contract, though the end result was unfortunate

 

[Rapala]

People would go through A LOT of emotions in a short span lmao.

I'm not referring to us by the way people.
I'm referring to some other team jumping the cue to snatch Buium while leaving Demidov.

thats what i keep thinking! The Magician pt2 ! SVP !

 

[morhilane]

Demidov ...will need to improve his lower body strength

Understatement, he has chicken legs...

 

[KevSkillz4]

Who would take Buium over Levshunov?

Me, for sure. Buium is my #1 ranked D in my final rankings.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

That's not always a good indication of their actual strength. Wayne Simmonds was the same, but yeah he will definitely need to hit the squat rack.

 

[Rapala]

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

WTK told us more than once. It's a done deal.

 

[HABitual Fan]

Deserved or not, the problem was the structuring of the deal making it untradeable. That is all on Bergevin.

 

[Favster]

Me, for sure. Buium is my #1 ranked D in my final rankings.

Same here

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Hope they are ready to rumble and not fumble

Oh no. I'm believing wayyy to much

 

[ReHabs]

I’m asking to learn people’s preferences. Hit the road pal.

 

[Fatbiggie]

Taking PM off, screw work. I got my wine ready, ordering food later. Just need to bring baby Demidov back home

 

[WeThreeKings]

I don't know what Anaheim is doing.. but everyone has said Levshunov is going 2 to the Hawks except, Cosentino, apparently.
