We were 3rd worst and were more likely to finish 4th or 5th. Not sure what he was expecting to be that pissed.

Only saw him on the Hollywood Squares board and i don't think he (or any of them) knew he was on TV at the moment.

I thought that was just how PV always looks... dont think he shows much emotion.

Pre-draft, yes. Once it was reduced to just the last three teams, no, they were considerably more likely to stay in 3rd.

Really like the player but the idea of the back injuries being an ongoing thing is concerning.

Eh.. acceptable but back injuries are weird. Honestly prefer both Russians over him though.
If they aren’t scared away by injury he’d be a welcomed add. Not sure they take that risk especially considering the season we just had.
So granted it is PV and Madden but at 3OA the Ducks really aren't going to go way off the board with the pick. It would seem that they will pick one of the following:
Demidov
Levshunov
Silayev
Lindstrom
I won't speculate on the likelihood of trading down b/c that hardly ever happens. That said, I don't see them trading the pick outright.

Not a big fan of him before injury, less of a fan afterwards.
Its going to be tough to get me to go forward (assuming 1. celebrini, 2. Demidov)
The next forwards are kinda meh , or similar to what we already have...
Basically Anaheim gets their choice of their favorite Dmen in the draft... were generally very good at drafting dmen.
I think the pick ends up between
Silayev and Levshunov

He looked the same before the pick and after the pick, with the exception of a old Western cowboy side chomp.
On the plus side, the Ducks' watch party was celebrating as if they won the first overall pick. Granted, I'd be ecstatic that we didn't move down to 4 or 5 and knowing the Blackhawks weren't gifted the #1 pick for a second draft season in a row.
Kinda funny in retrospect. Much higher odds to pick first last year.

Do McTavish and Zegras count? our late 1st round forward drafting is certainly questionable at times but besides Nick Ritchie our high 1st picks have been pretty solid
With that said if Demidov isn't available I'd definitely prefer to go with a D

Chicago hate runs deep to the point wed be happier if instate rival wins 1st overall.

I like Lindstrom very much! Here's my top-3 selections
1. C Celebrini
2. RD Lev
3. C Lindstrom or LD Dickinson
I do have a fear that Lev will be selected before #3.
=======
For more info some prospects, here's Scott Wheeler's breakdown
Wheeler's got two tiers in the top-12
Tier 1
1. Celebrini (no shock)
Tier 22. RD Lev
3. RW Demidov
4. LW Eiserman
5. RD Parekh
6. LD Dickinson
7. LD Buium
8. LD Silayev
9. C Catton
10. C Helenius
11. C Lindstrom (due to not playing much in the 2nd half of the season/injury)
12. RD Yakemchuck

Hey we won a Cup without one. Team does its job they don't need one to win another.

I’d be thrilled if the Chicago rebuild spent as much time in the wasteland as the Edmonton rebuild did.

I'd say Z doesn't count. Rumor had it BM wanted Broberg but when the Oil spoiled that for him one pick ahead of us, he had to take a falling Z. Also, there's the fact that we did a pretty good job of finding Hampus at 6, Minty at 10, as well as Luneau and Z2 both in the 2nd round. which were all great picks. I just think our expertise skews to D more than F.

Chicago fans seem to think they will go forward(Demidov seems like the guy they want).
I think San Jose winning was best case scenario for us, if levshunov is our guy

During our rebuild and reset rebuild, we've been a jewel in the league at F and D.
2019: 9th, C Zegras (dropped down 1 in the lottery)
2020: 6th, D Drysdale (dropped down 1 in the lottery)
2021: 3rd, C McTavish (dropped down 1 in the lottery)
2022: 10th, D Mintyukov
2023: 2nd, C Carlsson (dropped down 1 in the lottery)
But we traded D Drysdale for 2022, 5th overall LW/C Cutter Gauthier. We're forward heavy in top-10 picks and only one top-10 D pick in our org. Would love to add another top-10 D b/c finding potential top-4D or top pairing D is difficult to acquire.

I think that was because it was the Sharks party mislabeled as Anaheim. Those jerseys all looked teal to me. And you're right, they were celebrating like somebody who just won.
