Well, here it is. Last in-person draft.
Also interesting to see will be how it looks in the Sphere.

A lot of buzz around Buium right now. I don’t mind that at all. Sets us up at LD for 10 years

 

[Kalv]

Our new logi will look great on the draft board

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I genuinely find all the prospects listed here, to be very intriguing in their own right. Silayev has been the guy all along (picked him fourth overall back in our first mock) and I'm sticking with him as the prospect I want the most. But I'm honestly not going to be disappointed at all with any of these names, if Madden and Co decide they have reason to rate them above the rest. I don't think there's one perfect answer here that is worth tripling down on emotionally, we'll see how it all turns out five or ten years down the line.

Doing my best to read between the lines, based on PV's comments and our scouting staff's prior tendencies, my best guess is one of the two Russians or Dickinson.

 

[Arthuros]

Demidov / Levshunov
Silayev
Anyone else among the top 10

 

[HanSolo]

Looking forward to being at my first and the last draft in the current format. Gonna be going in the Mighty Ducks vintage replica jersey I just picked up earlier this year.

 

[Boo Boo]

Lindstrom please

 

[Unholy]

So it begins..

Outside of Marek where is the buzz?

The closer we get to the draft the less I care about which player we pick. I’m trusting the scouts and whoever they pick I’ll see as the BPA until that’s proven wrong. First time in a long time I don’t have a clear cut favorite going into draft day. Still nervous about it though… more curious to see what happens after our first pick.

32 thoughts this morning “ jeff- Anaheim goes buuuim” Elliot “ im hearing leshunov because hawks take demidov”

I'm just wary of choosing tools over sense. It worries me with levshunov, it worries me with silayev, it worries me with dickinson, it worries me with lindstrom.

 

[Unholy]

I am good with most of our possibilities. Will trust the scouts and what they have watched and looked into.

Demidov
Levshunov
Silayev
Buium
Lindstrom

But I personally have one scared option which would be Dickinson being taken at 3. Just happens to be at the end of my list of top defensemen for this draft

 

[forever1922]

I only have one wish for this draft:
No Silayev

Forward is the pressing need, best player is Lindstrom or Demidov. Sennecke has potential but the reach is a little much for my taste. RDs are not available at the top this year.

I don't trust Levshunov but then again I feel the whole D crop is overrated, Buium or Dickinson will become good defensemen if they land in good environments. Probably not in on any russians and probably no LDs. C is not a need but forwards can always move around.

This year I don't like nearly as many players as last year.

Last year I thought Pitre could be our pick, didn't see Myatovic coming, but like most I thought we would be going Fanta. A year later the pick looks like it was probably the right pick and I must say that is an extremely impressive selection going against consensus.

[Dryish]

I'm good with either Silayev or Buium, honestly.

 

[Leonardo87]

Sucks gonna miss the draft tonight, really wanted to see our picks with the mighty ducks logo.

Have fun guys and enjoy.

Just placed some big bets on Silayev and Buium, plus money as long as it’s one of those 2. (Please be one of those two)

 

[Anaheim4ever]

If they go forward I'd go with Sennecke over Lindstrom but Demidov over both of them, the Ducks have already seen year to year their top under 25 players spending too much time being injured with the musical chairs IR that was last season when one of McTavish/Carlsson/Zegras/Mintyukov was injured. Lindstrom already being injury prone before he's drafted is not a good mix with Anaheim.
I don't want a prospect who's gonna spend too much time on IR.

Are the money markets moving on buium?

Always follow the money.

Placed a bet this morning at +800, it’s now at +700

Silayev went from +140 to +150

Edit: this was at DraftKings, ESPNBet has Buium at +500, not sure what he was at earlier

It's moving quite a bit then.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Oh and I think the Ducks would know more on Buium than any other team because they've probably known of him as a prospect well before other teams. Kid probably grew up with Niedermayer Duck jerseys.

 

[ShadowDuck]

Odds are moving fast. BetMGM now has Buium at +350

 

[ScarTroy]

Buium is such a Madden pick that you can’t help but feel excited if that’s who they go with.
