Limatov is my favorite Russian prospect this year. Forget your Ryabkin or Prokhorov, he is my guy. I believe if he was Canadian and playing in the CHL or NCAA he would be considered in the top 15. Very high potential.
Yeah smooth skating 6’6 RD with offensive potential don’t tend to slip in the draft. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if someone takes him Top 5.
I don't see it too. Not this year. Not the type of player that will slide too much. He might....a little....but let just hope we have what teams will want if we want to move up.

There's a bat, no ball
The rankings seems to be a bit all over the place, so something good should fall (or not climb) mid-round.
Hopefully not the first one on your list
The top-7 in this draft are a bit of an enigma, but I think you might have interesting players falling to 16 or 17. McQueen might very well fall or someone that ends up better might too.
He has the size to hurt players yet has never done a body check in his life. If his offense doesn't pan out in the NHL, which is not a given, the team is in a bit of a bind. He's a good skater for his size, that I acknowledge.
Yes. Skilled but doesn’t play inside. Isn’t aggressive. Not good at board battles despite his size. Reluctant to initiate contact. There’s no urgency to his game. I don’t want inconsistent physical play from a 6’4 player.
