I think if Lindstrom falls past the Habs and UTA, he's likely to fall to 9. But if he falls past the Flames and NJ, then the injury is too problematic. He should fall to the high teens and we shouldn't take the risk.

I agree 100% with all of that. Here I am woeing that we wont get Lindstrom when i'm overlooking it's because we will get Celelbrini lol.
Celebrini-Smith-Edstrom should be pretty damn good in its own right. I feel like Edstrom is getting slept on. 25 points in 58 SHL games as a 18/19 year old center is impressive, plus he's huge and has a reputation as a great defensive forward.
I'd rather we draft a wizard named Gandolf.
The league will gift the Knights #1 overall, then remember we own the pick.
Habs fans are pretty divided, but I think the general sentiment is that we'll take BPA regardless of position. Habs management isn't afraid to go against consensus and doesn't seem to only draft for need. Obviously this is a fascinating draft to follow because there isn't really any consensus though.
Who cares - Hagens - Who cares

I would love that group. I'd be A-OK with Zetterlund in that group, but if he's pushed to the 3rd line, all the better.
Swedish Mafia 3rd line of Bystedt-Edstrom-Zetterlund sounds even better.
If Dickinson starts sliding like that on draft day I hope we offer whatever it takes to get him.
With 7 D men that high and F's like Helenius, MBN, and Eiserman still on the board, I'm now fully on board with hoping for Solberg at 14. I would be ecstatic at Dickinson as a very useful piece in the rebuild as well. Who knows if Bob will say the same thing, but I'm not too surprised if Yak does end up going to eg Anaheim or someone 6-11.
If we got lucky enough to land Lindstrom, I’d just put him on Celebrini or Smith’s wing and use him as a center in a pinch.
I’ve only seen him at the WJC, where I was privately mad that he looked better than Bystedt.
I’m intrigued if Chicago has the same tier of 18, hence the trade. I think that top-18 is probably the same for me too.
I agree with the bolded, although I don’t think any of them are absolutely crazy. I’m coming around on Solberg most likely being our pick at 14th.
Same here. At some point I had Parekh outside of it, but I've come around on that, his offense is just too good.
Digesting that top 18, Yakemchuk feels a bit high. Demidov, Lindstrom, Dickson feel a bit low.
I feel better about wanting Solberg at #14 (over Jiricek, if none of the other D drop).
Positional Breakdown of those top 18 (keeping in mind that forwards might settle in different positions, e.g. Catton or MBN)
- 4 C
- 6 LW/RW
- 4 LD
- 4 RD
Pronmans next tier goes from 19-39. If we keep them, considering a few reaches, some of them will be avail with either of our seconds.
Positional breakdown (with who I like in brackets):
Brunicke, Mews, Pulkkinen are good Ds in Pronmans tier after that, in case the above players are all gone by #42.
- 8 C (Hage*, Boisvert, Luchanko, Beaudoin)
- 6 LW/RW (Artamonov Surin, Greentree)
- 2 LD (Shuravin)
- 4 RD (Emery, Elick, Badinka)
- 1 G
Hmm if we take Solberg at 14 and another defenseman at 33, I could be convinced to reach for a goalie at 42. Or trade 42 down a bit to like 50 and try for a goalie.
I feel no shame.You should feel shame!
Pronman is like the only one that like Gandalf though. I think he was like 10th just amongst Euro goalies by Central Scouting a couple months ago.
