Yeah, no. This is 2023 2.0. Main 4 then crapshoot starting… us!

Should have tanked harder , but that would hurt poor suzuki and caufield , such superstars , how could they ever live through a full tank .

Hughes not even there.

He knew it would be a big waste of time.

We get 1st overall in a draft without generational talent, then we proceed to pick at 5 in back to back seasons, just out of range of the top tier of forwards. We're clearly not meant to have elite talent up front, let's take the hint from the hockey gods and draft Buium at 5, then Cole Hutson at 26.

We'll just run 2 forward and 3 D on each line, who's gonna stop us?

I mean, We got slaf, and this draft doesn't have a generational talent either

 

[Hannibal]

So, hopefully Lindstrom falls to us somehow.

 

[Hacketts]

lets at least be grateful he didn't go on ice today.

Hughes is playing chess with this one, he ain't showing his hand.

Today's the big day!

Let's see what this "Russian" Combine has to offer

A 6’1 Ivan Demidov certainly changes things..Speaks english fairly well too.

 

[Andrei79]

Usually, I tend to wait until the thing actually happens before I'm disappointed. Chicago will still want a strong defender to build around and this draft is one of the rares where they have multiple choices. They'll be bad again next year and maybe the one after, they have time to get another forward or three.

You're suggesting having under-23 years old players suck on purpose to secure a high pick?

No team has even done this buddy. This is silly.

"Ya f*** that Slafkovsky guy. If he somehow sucked we could have gotten a Slafkovsky at the draft".

Come on.

 

[habsfan891]

Based purely on his being 6'1" I've modified my predictions.

1. Celebrini
2. Demidov
3. Levshunov
4. Lindstrom
5. who cares

I'm in agreement with this list .

Hughes not even there.

Do you think it's because he's only interested in Lindstrom or Sennecke?

You know I love you, but that is not the kind of mentality you want to have towards your young players. You want the team to purposely stunt the growth of guy like Nick, Cole, Slaf, Guhle, Primeau, Newhook, Struble, Xhekaj for the sake of picking a spot or two higher?

It's always fun to see who can be available at 5 when you pick that high. But you should never lose sight of all of the young players/prospects who are there now. They're development and growth counts just as much.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Highly doubt the Habs aren't there. Seravelli only listed 3 Gms. You guys really think only 3 teams went to this combine? lol

So no one from Columbus either?
My guess is this doesn't mean KH is not there, it means Seravalli did not saw him....

In the Hockey News article it states that there are 40 plus scouts at the combine

Looks like 6 feet 1/4 or 6 feet 1/2 to me

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Chicago will definitely pick Levshunov. Too much smoke there.
The question is whether Columbus will pick Demidov or go with someone else

 

[Gustave]

I'm betting Dickinson because we don't need Ld and that's the Montreal way.

I’d live through that hardship
Not ideal for us fans and borrrrrrrriiinngggggg franchise but he’s a good pick.

Hughes was probably there but Seravelli just didn't recognize him.

 

[417]

Man I can’t wait for the draft, at this point fans are so thirsty for news that any report about anything gets turned into confirmation of whether or not team A is picking player B.

10 more gotdam days!

Well, Chicago will flip to Demidov at 2.. Lindstrom at 4.. we are gonna get cucked.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Looks like 6 feet 1/4 or 6 feet 1/2 to me

Levshinov is officially 6-foot-1.75, taken at the regular combine, so Demodov should be around 6ft even by the looks of it, something like that.

If Levu is 6'2, Demi looks about 5'11 in that picture....let me get my iphone and get a better calculation
