Lots of talk on the main board about him going in the top 20.
ouch...Levshunov talk starts after they discuss the Chicago-NYI draft pick trade...
Speculation: With the third pick in the 2024 NHL draft the Anaheim Ducks select...(Draft is June 28th @ 4pm PT. ESPN. ESPN+)

Pronman in the most recent Athletic mock draft.
Part of his rationale is that the Sharks will most likely take a dman with Pittsburgh’s pick at #14. If the big 6 dmen are gone by then (Levshunov, Silayev, Parekh, Buium, Dickinson, Yakemchuk), the Sharks could very likely pivot to one of Solberg or Jiricek, as they seem to be the next tier of dmen.
Damnit, was hoping Solberg would fall to us with our first if we went with a forward with out 3OA.
Solberg would be a good fit for tithe Hawks and could vie for a spot on their club within 2 years.

The old man really is crotchety about Lev being a Belarusian with contesting his actual age because he's physically advanced and then contesting his willingness to stick on NA ice to where he can go back to his home country and be showered with rubles. That's part of his scouting report on Lev?! Crazy.
If you're a prospect not named Celebrini, then you've got lots of low-lights. Why not show if there was progression or not in order to determine continued concern about his play?
What the old man pointed out about Lev's flaws do exist. Elite Prospects also share the same flaws, but EP revisits prospects throughout the season to give those watching better depth of the prospects.
6 months ago. It should start around 11:36 on the discussion about Lev and being compared to Dickinson.
2 months ago and the video review are of games played around Jan 12th.
EP said two months ago that Lev is a high floor and high ceiling prospect. I agree, which is why I think whoever drafts Lev needs to let him stay in Michigan St. for another season of development so that he can reach that high ceiling. Michigan St. helped him improve so much in one season and excited to see how much more he can improve in year 2 of the NCAA.
The most interesting part to me was McKegg saying that many of the scouts he talks to are similarly concerned while saying that others love him. I guess we'll find out which camp Chicago or Anaheim is in come draft day.

Yeah he’s as old school as they come -in general I’m fairly skeptical of his hockey opinions to be honest

Fire Greg Cronin!
Yeah, last time we chose a fast riser in Tracey and look how well that’s panned out. Stay away from fast late risers and just go BPA
There are a lot of examples of fast risers being the right pick.

Yes. He tested incredibly well at the combine.

And IIRC, if we hadn’t taken him 6th the Wild were going to take him 7th. And he was ranked to supposedly be only a mid teens pick even after rising.

He solidified his draft position at the U18s. Here's a little snippet from what scouts were saying:

Bob McKenzie's 2021 final draft rankings - TSN.ca
This year’s NHL draft class is showing signs of major unpredictability, but the Michigan defenceman cemented his status as hockey’s top prospect with a strong performance at the IIHF World Championship, Bob McKenzie writes.

Mac wasn't THAT much of a riser though. Bobby had him 9th in his preseason rankings that year.

The towering Michigan Wolverines defenceman is, at this moment, the clear and logical top prospect in a draft year like no other, Bob McKenzie writes.

Vo2 max test was the big one they were raving about.
Yeah it was like Tour de France levels or something like that. Pierre McGuire was losing his shit over it on the draft broadcast lol
It's weird to remember dumb shit like that from a decade ago. Feels like it just happened.

Cool. I can almost call it a late 2nd.
We have the first and third picks of the third round (66+68), so we can pretty safely assume we are getting two prospects our scouts had ranked well within their top two rounds.
