[PacificOceanPotion]

But

 

[Barrie22]

Bonk

 

[Stewie Griffin]

I like Heidt here. Wouldn't be opposed to Bonk, Sawchyn, or Brindley.

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

My top 5 options at this point;

Daniil But (LW) - A winger who is 6'5" and played 15 KHL games with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl this season.

Quentin Musty (LW) - Finished second on Sudbury in scoring this season with 78 points in 53 games.

Oliver Bonk (D) - High hockey IQ is usually mentioned when talking about Bonk's game.

Riley Heidt (C/W) - Smaller (5'10") forward who finished fifth in the WHL with 97 points.

David Edstrom (C/W) - Surprisingly, he isn't named Edström, as David and his family moved from the U.S. to Sweden.

Please add Etienne Morin to the later polls (I think he will be the first player selected from the QMJHL, ahead of Gauthier).

 

[mogambomoroo]

Not completely sure why, but I felt Gavin Brindley and voted for him. There is so many good options that it's quite hard.

 

[Gecklund]

I’d pick Morin here.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

A 6’5 winger with a decent pair of mits and experience in the KHL. But would be a steal at 26. Only real knock I’ve seen on him is his skating. KC coyote, have you done a write up on him? Id love to check it out.

 

[Hodge]

I like But and Hrabal but if Quentin Musty is available at 26 I think he has to be the pick. His numbers are phenomenal, he’s one of the youngest players in the draft and we’re going to need size up front to complement Eklund and Smith/Michkov.

 

[Grinner]

But and Edstrom provide the size and the ability to pay with out the puck.Musty seems the better offensive forward

 

[Patty Ice]

My top 5 options at this point;

Daniil But (LW) - A winger who is 6'5" and played 15 KHL games with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl this season.

Those would be my 5 as well. But I'm a Bonk fanboy if only because I was a fan of his dad and always thought he belonged in teal but it turns out the son is real good.

 

[Hasbro]

But

But what?

Ahahahahaha.

 

[Le Rosbeef]

It's like being in a candy shop. We're really going to get a good player at 26 and again at 36.

I ended up going for Daniil But. Was tempted to add a blueliner, and suspect the Sharks brass would do, but he's a guy I think should be off the board inside the top 25, so I'm picking him here. Right shot.

Literally can't make a bad pick though.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Literally can't make a bad pick though.

Yet they somehow will...

 

[Desert Eagle]

I`m surprised that all of Simashev, Willander, Dragicevic, and Gulyayev are already "drafted". Voted for Bonk.

If anyone is interested, correct pronounce for But is "Boot", not like word "but".

 

[themelkman]

But or Musty would be the best picks here. Bonk never seemed that good to me, but of course defense value is always vastly inflated.

 

[Jargon]

Yet they somehow will...

I’m optimistic. I’m not sure how much of it was Grier, but their decision to move back and come out with Lund, Bystedt and Havelid is looking really positive. Bystedt, specifically, seems like a move that could really pay off.

 

[fasterthanlight]

I don't know anything about prospects, but here are the clear top 4 based on name:

1. bonk
2. sawchyn [sounds like a pokemon]
3. but
4. musty

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Michkov, But, Bonk…Potential celly and greatest draft name ever.

I don't know anything about prospects, but here are the clear top 4 based on name:

1. bonk
2. sawchyn [sounds like a pokemon]
3. but
4. musty

Musty, But…I can’t stop myself..

 

[Juxtaposer]

Musty, Perron, and Heidt are my favorite options amongst forwards. Molendyk on D, I’m pretty high on him. Voting for Musty but any of those four would do me fine.

 

[hohosaregood]

i'm not really seeing Bonk in the first round. Would be more okay with him with the 36OA than with 26OA

 

[Kcoyote3]

Why are we voting Bonk ya'll. But, Brindley, Musty, Perron, Heidt, anyone else

 

[Kcoyote3]

A 6’5 winger with a decent pair of mits and experience in the KHL. But would be a steal at 26. Only real knock I’ve seen on him is his skating. KC coyote, have you done a write up on him? Id love to check it out.

But grew on me when I watched more of him. His games are all on Youtube, just have to do a bit of digging and translating Russian to find the right games on https://www.youtube.com/@mhl_rus/streams

He really likes to use his frame to establish position and create off the wall. He's got a heck of a shot, is physical, and does indeed have good mitts. Moves well for his size. Mistake prone though and needs lots of refinement to his game to turn into an all three zones type of player.

Here's one:

 

[Hasbro]

Everyone satisfied with the results or do you want a runoff?

 

[Grinner]

Might as well just book it and move on to 27
