Late late riser. Wouldn’t be my pick at 3 but if it is him, they must really like him and think he will keep getting better. Was it him who had the growth spurt and was getting used to it at the beginning of his season?
Hard to tell exactly.
In the year 2012, CBJ took Murray and NYI took Griffin Reinhart right before Reilly and Lindholm and they felt very strong about their picks.

Speaking of that draft - I see Demidov falling like Forsberg tonight. Consistently top 3 ranked, falls to early 10’s due to question marks whether his game will translate. It could also make sense as to why San Jose traded up so early
If our scouts pick Ronald McDonald, I'm trusting them until proven otherwise. They hit their top picks. I'm much more pessimistic about other picks, not the top one. They constantly do them right, have to give them credit, let them cook.

Not a single soul saw Forsberg dropping to the caps and same with Lindholm, I could see Yakemchuk being a Lindholm like pick tonight where it is a big WTF? moment for a lot of fans who didn’t do their homework

This may have been mentioned already, but the Panthers just won the Cup and their two biggest D men were large pylons during the postseason (Ekblad and Mikkola). The rest of their D corps are all either small or slender, based on the height/weight requirement some people seem to have. Forsling, Montour, and Kulikov are all average size or smaller, while Ekman-Larsson is somewhat tall but thin. And as a whole, that's not a particularly physical defense. They're not all soft, but there are no mean bruisers there.

1) from an entertainment point of view all this misdirection is so entertaining - I hope our pick doesn’t get credibly “leaked” so to speak
2) don’t really know how to say it but after 6 years of drafting really high it makes sense that we are likely about to spend a high pick on a somewhat redundant piece. It doesn’t mean whoever it is can’t be a foundational piece for the team. It’s just kind of a boutique pick which will set the tone for what area of our team gets high end depth

Great article. I recently learned that there is some Jewish ancestry on my moms side of family from Mexico. Apparently my great grandfather was Jewish and my great grandma was Indigenous mexican native and could speak her tribes language. There is actually alot of jewish communities in mexico I learned and its the only other country besides Israel where the jewish population is growing instead of declining.
I hope Zeev succeeds in the NHL whether it be with Anaheim or other teams, I really hope there isn't gonna be people boycotting his selection by whichever team selects him. Kid has nothing to do with what other countries and governments are doing and he was born in this country while his parents are from Israel.

It’s gonna be hilarious when the Ducks pick none of these main players we’re talking about.

At this point i'll take Sennecke over Lindstrom. After seeing the Carlsson/McT/Zegras/Mintyukov IR musical chairs last season it feels inevitable that Lindstrom won't be durable if Anaheim is the team that picks him and he's already got an injury history.

I will say, I think the most dissapointing outcome for me would be them reaching for Sennecke.
Not only because I'm not a fan of the player at 3, but because it wouldn't even be a surprise.
I'm rooting for Demidov, and hoping that Verbeek shocks everyone and takes him.
