Jealous of you guys. Chernyshov is going to light it up

 

[DWI Dale]

Way to swing for the fences!

Lucas Pettersson also selected.

Lucas Pettersson also selected.

If they get both of these guys to commit they just easily just won the draft. Wow.

I would say odds are real good on Igor. Pre draft word his contract was being voided in Russia to sign with San Jose AND his agent is GoldStar who has a close relationship with Saginaw.

Lucas is a wild card

Igor has already played some games with mature skaters in the KHL with Dynamo. Pettersson also has a good base to stay in Sweeden ...BUT if they both showed up...Memorial Cup 2!

If indeed they bring in these two picks, Parekh stays and will not be moved. It will be a powerhouse team again..

Absolutely. Less movement but if they get both of these guys you have to think they’re definitely the favourites in the west and league right now

They'll need a proven goalie too, which will probably be Andre Oke for his over age season, unless someone signs him and puts him in their minor league system.

If oke isn’t the guy(gets signed and doesn’t come back) Liam Sztuska would be one hell of a guy to go with assuming he is available and he has mem cup experience from their OHL championship year. He played amazing last year. Stats would’ve been way better on a team that didn’t trade off every valuable piece they had.
