Within reason, who would make you guys mad at pick 5?

This is my novice opinion of course but I would be happy with Demidov, Lindstrom, Iginla, Sennecke, or Catton. Then (in this order) on defense, Buium, Levshunov, Dickinson, or Parekh.

Maybe you could sell me on Helenius, if I’m trying to be open minded.

I don’t want Silayev. I don’t care if he is big and skates well, I don’t want a defensive defenseman.

I would suggest that you probably should have responded to the post in question with a query instead of getting offended that someone cited the comments of an insider, stating that "[t]hey have absolutely zero inside information on who these teams are drafting" and making sweeping claims".

You shouldn't have inferred that the insider information was offered as empirical evidence. Its unclear why you would infer that.

It wasn't offered If you want to continue taking this as a personal attack then that's your prerogative, I just found the double standard strange and commented to that effect. And stop inferring so much from message board posts lol.

You are so entirely disingenuous as you continue to paraphrase and use strawmen....the hallmarks of someone who doesn't know when to accept defeat.

There will be no further interactions between you and I.

I had 2 hernia since I was 18 and i'm finally "free" at 29 of that injury. Even now it's a f***ing pain to work out still since of the toll that my hips and muscle took from all those years of supporting my bad back.

Mind you, I don't have NHL level doctors around me tho.
I just don't feel comfortable drafting a kid with the same injury as me at such a young age, from experience.

All in for Demidov obviously but if he's not there at 5, i'm going with Zeev as my next pick.

Celebrini
Demidov
Levshyunov
Buium
The rest

Sucks to get another Dman but hey, BPA.

They said that trading for Jack Eichel was a huge risk because of his back issues as well and he helped Vegas win a Stanley Cup.

If we pick him you have to assume the medical issues are overblown.

Eichel's injury was a neck injury, not a back injury. And the issue was the type of surgery Eichel wanted to do that went against the recommendations of Buffalo's medical team, not the injury itself.

If you circle back through Bobs lists, most of the time there is a stud forward ranked 10-15 on his list.

Key would be to identify that stud and draft him at 5.

Question is, who is it:

Iginla?
Sennecke?
Catton?

If we draft Lindstrom I’ll hope for the best, but I’m so worried about that back injury.

I’m leaning Buium.

Apologies if I’m misinterpreting but I hope he goes top 4. Him and Levshunov. I’m not against taking a defensive, I just don’t really want either of those ones. Buium would be my NON-expert choice.

I thought the same but the habs have some offensive D, and you can only have so many if you want to win playoff series. You can never have too many huge D. Yakemchuk is in considered in the top 5 because of his physicality. Silayev will probably go top 5, and it’s unlikely the team that gets him will have regrets.

As I mentioned elsewhere, there is a difference between a cervical spine injury, as in Eichel's, vs a thoracic, or worse still, a lumbar injury, which I think is the case for Lindstrom, since his caused issues with his sciatic nerve. The lumbar area is much more weight bearing than than the cervical portion of the spine, so the artificial disc replacement (ADR) procedure that worked with Eichel probably entails more risk for Lindstrom, if it comes to that.

So what are your thoughts here?

Do not draft?
