Pronman’s final mock has Demidov to Calgary and Iggy still on board. Hopefully they’d pass on Demidov for Iggy and he’d be there for us

I just can't see Calgary doing it if Iginla is there. Right call or not, I feel like the fan revolt would be seismic.
If Iginla is there, I would be stunned if Conroy doesn't take him.
Pronman’s last 2 mocks have them passing on him and his are generally closest to what the teams are actually feelingI just can't see Calgary doing it if Iginla is there. Right call or not, I feel like the fan revolt would be seismic.

Perfetti has 75 points and is a plus 24 in 140 games by 22 years of age. That is good no matter how you want to spin it.

What's your take on him having us take Catton in his latest, if I read correctly from earlier in the thread?
Rossi also got incredibly sick which held him back and then had a really strong rookie year last year. They’re both good players

I would be very happy with Catton.
He’s one of the many guys I’d like with the pick. With who is still on the board I’m iffy on Parekh. I’d only take him if we swung a Casey for McGroarty deal. Lower on Helenius. MBN I would’ve liked to have been the ones who traded down with SJ if that’s the route. Iggy or Catton I’d be fine either way

Hi, I'm mat.
If Demidov falls to 9 and we still have our pick im sprinting over to the cgy table to make a deal
They are both very good and are still very young. If Catton is there he is definitely a good pick.

meh. Perfetti is not the player we are looking for. No matter how you want to spin it. I wish him only well.
Devils should prefer players who is closer to Lundell. Perfetti isnt the player to add on the line with Nico or Jack at all. Even if he will start to produce on 60-80 points level.

If Demidov does slide, is it purely on the Russia situation or something to related to on the ice performance/forecast?

Little bit of both I think
He’s also not in the khl and playing into equivalent to Russian juniors which seems like a red flag to me ?
Meh, I disagree with you and Perfetti was a better prospect and will end up the better player over Lundell. He would have been great with Jack and a big winger. His playmaking and shot would have meshed unbelievably with Jacks skills. Lundell is a third line centre (a very good one) who will top out at 45-50 points max.
Pronman didn't really make a strong link to the Devils taking Catton, other than saying he's the BPA the way his mock plays out, whereas he makes more of a case as to why a team is interested in a particular prospect for most of his other mock picks.

Meh, This is the way how to not build winning team. They would be pinned by opponents. Lundell can be 3rd line center as 45-50 points or complimentary forechecking physical winger.
And you know. Lundell is Stanley Cup champion. Perfetti most likely will never be as Jets player.
Faster better skating version of Lundell (Devils will have 1-3 three options, a couple of them with better shot too) will make much more sense.
But yeah we can believe that Jack and Perfetti would be great duo. Everybody should have something to believe.
I still think Catton is a good pick(not very good or great) for Devils and still very possible if he will be available.
Russia situation only, some bias from some gms. I dont think there will be so many gms. Unrealistic situation. He will not sleep through Jackets/Mtl/Utah.
If the pick isn't dealt, just take bpa. There's no need to complicate things.
Locking in Helenius as my hope. Every year I get a strong feeling about someone projected to go in the 10-15 range and he's it this year. Previous winners of Rhodes81's feeling range from Rantanen to Rubtsov so it's completely meaningless.

MBN, Catton or Helenius would be a god send imo. Tij would be fine too but I don't see Calgary letting him past 9
