Posted on wrong board originally

1. Ivan Demidov RW/C, SKA St. Petersburg - MHL
He captures the mysterious allure of Russian prospects of hockeys past. He’s a true throwback to the Soviet Union. Ever seen this guy wearing a pair of jeans? Nyet. Tracksuits only. He is from a bygone era and is as Russian as it gets. In this era of minimal scouting in Russia, he has gone under the radar and would be a clear first overall talent in most years. He has a sophisticated palate and an appreciation for aesthetics of the game.

2. Tij Iginla F, Kelowna Rockets - WHL
Hard nosed, honest hockey. He plays the game the right way, the Anti-McDavid of sorts. He respects the game and those that came before him, he doesn’t showboat and is a future captain. He plays a power forward game but don’t underestimate his skill, he stick handles and toe drags around multiple opponents with ease.

3. Macklin Celebrini C, Boston Univ. - NCAA
A great talent who produced very well in the NCAA, but he is very nervous in interviews and I could see a Kakko-like floor for him because of his timid nature. His surname sounds like a celebration but he’s not the type who likes surprises or being the center of attention, he is not a social butterfly and he may never spread his wings at the NHL level. He has an otherworldly lack of aesthetics, just look at this sock tuck:

4. Anton Silayev D, Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod - KHL
6'7 207 and skates like the wind, all the tools in the world. In the aesthetics department he has excellent upper maxillary development with great under-eye support. He was destined for greatness.
5. Trevor Connelly LW, Tri City Storm - USHL
6. Igor Chernyshov LW, Dynamo Moskva - KHL
7. Berkly Catton F, Spokane Chiefs - WHL
8. Zayne Parekh D, Saginaw Spirit - OHL
9. Beckett Sennecke RW, Oshawa Generals - OHL
10. Nikita Artamonov RW/LW, Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod - KHL
11. Cayden Lindstrom D, Medicine Hat Tigers - WHL
12. Stian Solberg D, Vålerenga - Norway
13. Artyom Levshunov D, Michigan State Univ. - NCAA
Wish he played in KHL/MHL instead of defecting. He is a Benedict Arnold.
14. Andrew Basha F, Medicine Hat Tigers - WHL
15. Cole Eiserman LW, USNDTP
16. Liam Greentree RW, Windsor Spitfires - OHL
17. Terik Parascak RW, Prince George Cougars - WHL
18. Timur Kol D, Avangard Omsk - KHL
Peak aesthetics
19. Zeev Buium D, Univ. of Denver - NCAA
20. Adam Jiricek D, HC Plzeň - Czechia
21. Sam Dickinson D, London Knights - OHL
22. Cole Hutson D, USNDTP
23 Artyom Shcuchinov D, Traktor Chelyabinsk - KHL
24. Tanner Howe F, Regina Pats - WHL
25. Yegor Surin C/RW, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl - KHL
26. Kirill Zarubin G, AKM Tula - MHL
27. Justin Poirier RW, Baie-Comeau Drakkar - QMJHL
An underrated undersized forward who scored the most goals in a QMJHL season since none other than Sid the Kid himself
28. Miroslav Satan Jr. C, HC Slovan Bratislava U20 - Slovakia U20
He will go much higher than anyone expects, only been playing for 5 years. God given talent!
29. Kevin He LW, Niagara Ice Dogs - OHL
Plays like young Ovi. Great speed and runs over people, excellent shot
30. Gabriel Eliasson D, HV71 - J20 Nationell
31. Anthony Romani C/RW, North Bay Battalion - OHL
“Overager” who is still only 18 and just scored over 110pts in an OHL season
32. Tyler Thorpe F, Vancouver Giants - WHL
Rempe-lite. In every way, from playstyle, to looks, to size, to funloving personality. He is the first player to adopt “Rempe theory” in his game

Honorable mentions who will be STEALS:
Ignat Lutfullin LW, SKA-1946 St. Petersburg - MHL
Undrafted last year, continues to dominate the MHL
Max Plante C, USNDTP
Andrei Krutov LW/RW, Chaika Nizhny Novgorod, MHL
Alexander Siratsky D, Metallurg Magnitogorsk, KHL
Ryder Boulton F, London Knights, OHL
Arsen Taimazov D, Irbis Kazan, MHL

Not sure if troll list or not, but if it's not I'm curious what you think of Yakemchuk?

I love him and he'd be high on my list but he's not in yours at all.

Was going to ask the exact same thing
I got this one for Ed.

Yakemchuk is too much of a beta. He comes from Northern Alberta where people don't live, and his awkwardness with his athletic testing and interviews is something that Ed views as a red flag. You don't want to draft beta personality like a Kaapo Kakko because that can be why a player doesn't succeed.
