Has to be Zeev Buium for me out of those still available.

 

[Schemp]

Should be looking to trade down, if it's worth it. NJ (I think they'll shake up their D).

 

[Mangosteen]

Darn Ducks.. will two 2nds get us to third?

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Went with who I think we will pick, not who I want (Yakemchuk)

Zeev Buium all day.

You think we’d take Dickinson over Buium? I don’t know. Buium has accomplished so much.

 

[Schemp]

He would be who I'd want them to target by trading back.

No reason to trade down. Makes no sense to do that. E have a surplus of draft capital.

Love the user name

It's always about the return. Dickerson vs Yakemchuk + a depth need.

The Coyotes have more picks than they can use. They’ll start having to trade prospects they’d rather sign simply so they don’t lose them due contract limits.

Trading down for extra picks is the opposite of what they need to do. They should be consolidating assets to get equal value out of a smaller volume in order to reduce their surplus. BPA. And then trade up and take BPA again.

 

[rt]

@Schemp - unless you’re proposing a combo kind of thing. Like 6th and 49th (WSH) to CGY for 9th & 29th (VAN) or something? Where we aren’t adding to the surplus?

 

[rt]

I’d be very tempted to take Buium at 2nd. Not later than 3rd. I wouldn’t take Silayev before 6th but more likely 7th or 8th. Maybe even 9th or 10th.

 

[rt]

I’m not a big believer that Simashev will become a big point producer or PP weapon. I think he’s a really good prospect. I don’t think he’s going to be on the ice in the last couple mins when we’re down a goal and need offense badly.

I fee the same about Silayev as much as I like him. He’s redundant. Two top six picks on this type of player is way too much value to give up.

Interesting to see Yakemchuk getting shutout in this poll. He might be the best of the bunch.

You could say this about all the defensemen available. Lots to like about every one of them. I agree with rt about Silayev being similar to Simashev. I’d hate to grab the two of them at 6 in back to back years when there’s other defensemen in the board like Buium, Dickinson, and Yakemchuk who all offer something different respectively.

He’s my favorite player on the draft but he’s clearly behind both Buium and Dickinson for me. Tough call between him and Levshunov. Both of whom I have ahead of Silayev and Parekh but it’s close.

 

[spfan]

Utah really could use D-men and Buium is the BPA in my opinion. In terms of predictions, it might be more likely they take Dickinson and I think Silayev will already be taken anyways. I'd go Buium, with Parekh as my secondary choice. I like Dickinson too, but behind those 2.

Curious if you watched the London v Saginaw series. Or any of the Saginaw vs SSM & London vs Kitchener series?

I was thinking about acquiring a player and the incentive is a better pick like NJ offering Siegenthaler to move up.

 

[Prarievarg]

I like Buium or Parekh out of these

 

[Matias Maccete]

I'd sprint to the podium yelling out Buium's name. Kid is going to be a stud.

Going to be? He already is!

I'd take Dickinson but I think Bill takes Silayev.
Expect the unexpected though.
