Russians have been underscouted and there's a stigma around it, that's why guys like Mitchov and Demidov fell
I like McKinney. He often looks undervalued in rankings.
And he’s also headed to play in Michigan with Hage
I would think SJ will make a significant offer to swap picks because they could really use a stud D over another F. I wouldn't be shocked if it's essentially Scahefer for Misa + 30th OA.

I have not seen anything at all from West, I also never got into Nesbitt from limited viewings, skating is very average and offensive IQ looks limited for him to be anything more than a Bjugstad type.
That's how I see it. He looks like a complete player. I envision that he will top out at close to 6' and 200 lbs, cerebral, creative, clutch, and able to play in all situations. He may be slightly shorter than some of the other forwards at that draft position, but he uses his teammates a lot more, while still a decent scorer in his own right and engaged over 200 feet. Suzuki clone.
That's what smart teams do.. if they aren't going to draft Schaefer and are targeting Hagens, then abdolutely trade down.. no brainer.
Hard to say, the Islanders don't exactly have a deep prospect pool having only made one 1st round pick in the past 5 years so they might value adding late 1st/early 2nds more then other teams. And if that extra 1st isn't enough SJ can keep adding picks, their 2nd rounder is #33 for instance and they have a number of recently drafted late 1st/early 2nd prospects.
Yep.....Cole RESCHNY...THE steal of the draft !!!
...If he falls to us. Hoping that heightism prevails and 15 teams thumb their noses at him.
