f***ing annoying
You say that but I'm also seeing Columbus decides to suit TWO LHD (Jake Christiansen & Jordan Harris) over playing Jiricek. What the heck is up with that? Is your frustration based on his draft position or have you been watching all the Cleveland Monster games? I know he's only 21 but I don't see any clear signs that says his stock is still trending up.
 
Michkov is a real one. Gonna be fun watching him vs Bedard for the next 15 plus years. As soon as the Flyers get good I can see myself hating him.

I mean, he’s a 6’3 210lb 21 year old (as of 2 days ago) defense first D who moves well and 60 points in 88 AHL games. He’s raw and needs more time to truly be NHL ready but he certainly shouldn’t have really lost any stock. The world has become very impatient with prospects because of the McDavids and Matthews and Eichels that came through the draft. Jiricek at 25 will be a really, really solid D. Prime Parayko. He’ll never be a Karlsson or Letang or Dahlin or Makar but he’ll be a damn good D first guy who can play in your top 3 easily, IMO.

It’s a great get for Minnesota, who is looking good right now but also has Ohgren, Rossi, Yurov, Kusnetsidinovofwhatever, Faber, Jiricek and Walstedt. Looking like a solid future.

In my very inconsequential opinion, Michkov will put up great numbers, Bedard will eventually be a very Jack Hughes-ish player (when the Hawks have a little better supporting cast) but Celebrini is going to be the best of the trio. Celebrini, who I didn’t love as a prospect, has looked so good in the NHL… I think his game is just going to translate incredibly well and he looks just very poised and very, very dangerous while also being quite raw on a bad team. I think he’s the best prospect in hockey.
 
Simply because he traded all of our draft picks away already. Unless you want to trade two 1sts. But what's a guy like Drury gonna use to trade at the TDL then? Did you ever thing about how that might actually ruin Drury's weekend?

They also have Buium
 
Seems crazy for CBJ team to move him already....unless they know something the rest of us don't ? That is quick to give up on a guy . It is not like it is a piece for a Cup deal .

Celebrini didn’t get the Jovo Juice so
He’s going to the hall.

I never understood why people were bearish on Celebrini. Dude was bascially
Playing on hard mode 2 years in a row and crushed it.

Michkov puzzles me. He should bag 30 in his sleep as he’s a true multi dimensional goal scorer. He already plays through contact so well considering he’s a kid and played in the KHL where that isn’t really a thing.

Aside from that, I don’t really like his game? From what I’ve seen he is very selective in when he wants to engage in the play too and maybe that comes with age and experience (or he’s so afraid of making an aggressive mistake bc Torts.)
 
Canucks goalie Lankinen with his 10th straight road win. They did it the hard way, too, in OT.
