Let me know your thoughts on the selections
If Buium falls outside of the top 6, that will be insane. Has the best NHLe among defense prospects in many years, while also a winner, smart, and good defensively.
ETotally I agree with this comment. Buium is going to be one of the elite d-man in the nhl for many years.
Totally agree!
Agree. Top 5-6 for sure.
bedardemidov!! demidov or lindstrom is the pick at #2 for the hawks. the hawks top d-pairing is vlasic and jones (signed for the next 6 years). plus kfc just took korch to be their future pp qb two drafts ago at #7. it would be a total brain fart to give up on him after just 1 season and change course/direction. the hawks problem is not their d-core. their scoring was historically bad last season. a top 6 forward is so much more of a need over a top 4 def. hawks can grab a rhd at #20 or in 2nd rd.
all true and I don't believe Levshunov is the best D.
It doesn’t matter the hawks are shit for the next 5+ years
they are shit!! i agree with that. but, they will be the shit in the next 5+ years.
They were decimated by injuries including Bedard who missed six weeks, and his two favorite wingers who both missed most of the season.
Loook at Toronto, look at Edminton, two teams who flame out in the playoffs even though they have high powered forwards.
Whats missing? Shut down D men, the Hawks Had Keith, Seabrook. Hjalmarson, and Campbell or Oduya.
They don't win those cups without that defense.
They have a butt load of good, fast wingers in the pioeline that can shoot and dish.
Cornerstone D men are much harder to find.
just what columbus needs, another left handed defenseman lol
Columbus will take Lindstrom at 4 and the Habs will probably take a D at 5, especially if Silayev is still on the board. Would be very surprised if Demidov drops out of the top 5.
The huge uncertainty on the top 10 is why teams won't bother trading up a few spots, there's going to be a good player available.
Demidov would come over earlier to the NHL than Silayev. Silayev has 2 years left in Russia, Demidov 1 year left in Russia, but know one seems to take that into consideration apparently. I believe Ducks would like to speed up the rebuild asap. I think they’d take Demidov over silayev or take Levshunov depending on who Chicago picks.
if demidov is available at 7-9 im pretty sure flyers will trade up to get him. and yes flyers got some picks/players to do that. konecny,first round picks and so on. hard to imagine that demidov would slide that low...
Dream on
@@michaelwhiter4308 well to be honest i dont think demidov will drop like that. someone will draft him at 2-5.
LOL! Who's gonna trade down and pass on him?
@@fubartotale3389 probably no one:) but this video was about him sliding to almost 10 pick...what i think its absurb but then there would be 2-9 teams that passes him. probable there is a trade then possibility. but this wasnt my opinion. i still think he's gonna go 2-5 and nobody trades those picks.
Would like Flyers to take Eiserman in the scenario that he’s still available. They need high end skill up front
I was hoping the Flyers would select Cole Eiserman, who was considered the best goal scorer in the draft at the beginning of the season.
No, I wouldn’t want him. One trick pony, Mitchkov can alr score
Great video! I have Catton ahead of Iginla but I think both get pushed down because of all the high end Dmen teams covet…Silayev Buium Parekh Yakemchuk Levshunov (who I agree goes to Chi at 2…him and Korchinski would be great in 3 years)….
Keep up the awesome work! As someone with a youtube hockey channel I always enjoy watching your videos….
The Russian factor has always been an issue, & now that there's a war going on, it's gotta be in the back of everyone's mind. I'd still take Demidov at #2, but I'd say that there is a little more risk there than there was before.
There’s a 0% chance that Demidov falls past 5th
Amen
I can't imagine Calgary not taking Yakemchuck if he is available and Tij Iginla isn't. Just my opinion.
Now I’m reading a report that supposedly Michkov was let out of his contract and supposedly he might be coming to Philadelphia next year. That would be good news for the Blackhawks.
Good selections I think there will be a few surprises in the top 10 that people may not see coming.
You see the first four picks much the way I do. Celebrini first to the Sharks. Chicago will either take Demidov or Levshunov. If they take Demidov, Anaheim goes with Levshunov as I believe they made the Drysdale for Gauthier trade with the mindset they would draft a defenseman with their top 5 pick. That would leave Columbus with Lindstrom. If Chicago takes Levshunov, then Anaheim goes with Silayev and Columbus takes Demidov. Leaving Lindstrom for Montreal. Columbus currently has five Russians on the roster. They've had great success drafting them and bringing them over. They won't pass on Demidov if he's there.
The Hawks don't draft Russians early, period.
Name the last one.
Even Artemi Panarin wasn't drafted, he was signed as a F.A.
@@fubartotale3389you really don’t have a clue. Just because they haven’t recently doesn’t mean they won’t this time. Demidov is being talked about as the next Kucherov because of the production.
Lol Habs will only take Lindstrom if Demidov is off the table! Demidov is heads and shoulders better than Lindstrom sorry.
Buium will go top 10.
I'm curious who will be at 4 for my Jackets. Lindstrom would be great, but Dickinson would be fine
They could trade spots with the Ducks and guarantee either Demidov or Lindstrom.
I'm with you on Silayev going to the Ducks. The more I look into him the more I like him for Anaheim. He is what they need and what Verbeek likes in a player. The Ducks also have LaCombe and Luneau they can trade for other needs. If they draft another
LD I'm not sure there is room for those two.
interesting adam jirijeck falls but anything is possible in the draft, great opiniated facts
Ducks love big guys it’s gonna be silayev or lidstrom. I hope we take demidov tho especially if we trade zegras
Demidov is probably going 2nd
Z's staying put
@@WuShocks Probably but I could see the Hawks looking toward the future and solidifying their D core with a high end RD.....but odds are they will go for pure skillset which is what Demidov has the best of at #2.
honestly any GM that passes on demidov will regret it. the guys offense and scoring ability is better than elite. i really do think 5 - 10yrs down road he'll be better than celebrini. if chicago passes and verbeek doesn't take him i'm going to lose my S lol
@@James_Ford4815 I don't think they do pass when it comes down to it, but if they go for a future elite RD I won't criticize them either. If Demidov does slip to third it will be a bit of a dilemma for Verbeek. He isn't the type of player he goes for. Verbeek likes big two way players but the massive offensive potential Demidov has might be too much to pass up. For the Ducks, I really like Silayev though. He is the type of player that shuts down players like Demidov. The draft should be a fun one to watch, that's for sure.
I’m a CBJ fan I have no facts to support this but I wouldn’t be shocked if CBJ traded back in the draft and swapped spots with Calgary. I just can’t see the flames not drafting Tij Iginla!
I could see that
@@TopShelfHockey keep up the great work!
I agree plus we can get one of their second round picks that we can give up this year instead of 37 which we need to draft a goalie with it or a player like yegor surin
It would cost Calgary that's for sure!
I read there are reports that Columbus was open to trading the pick for impact players. The team seems to need to impact players at all positions. Unfortunately, several previous impact players have not worked out as expected.
Sharks need a right hand shot defence man I could see them taking jirachack or yakemchuck if there available
If you were Ottawa, would you trade your second and one of your fourths this year to get the 32nd overall? Then give that 1st rounder up for the compensation they owe and move on?
I don’t believe that was an option. If I remember correctly, Ottawa had to make the decision within 24 hours of the draft lottery. Could be wrong though. 😂
I don’t see lindstrom available at 5
If the Hawks do take a defenseman there is a good chance it happens.
Expect him to slide but how far will be interesting
Hawks reach a bit and take Dickinson or Inigla.
Moving up will cost and we have lotsa' D and trading Roy is a loss so trade Matheson and keep Savard as our veteran. but a large forward seems likely. We have Suzuki at 210 lbs, Dach, Slav, and Armia on our fourth line. Priority is not size. A play driver like Catton would add more to the TEAM concept and a need for variety. Catton has it all and needs weight which is simple to solve. Catton pound for pound is the best forward in the draft and the play driver will add more to the TEAM. Size is easy to find but a solid play driver will win hockey games. Lafleur, Richard, etc were all under 6ft but were Giants and were play drivers. We cant pass up on this opportunity. Pick Catton!
Ottawa misses out again
My guess is Buffalo actually will trade their first round draft pick or make a massive trade with a couple of the current prospects they have……but i suspect they make a big trade
Idk if it needs to be that big. #11+Joker+Rosen > PHI - Travis Konecny. Equivalent of three 1st rounders for Konecny is good value. Philly could end up with Helenius and Chernyshev? The Russian wing, for Michkov to play with. Everyone wins. 😂
Is there any chance that New Jersey is desperate for a goalie and trade pick 10 to Boston for Ullmark??
I don’t think Ullmark will, but Markstrom will waive.
I would trade a 2nd and 3rd round pick or up to two 2nd round picks, but not a first round pick. Teams could not even receive 1st round picks for 30 goal scorers or Jake Guentzel at the trade deadline.
Is Cole better than Lane?
I’m hearing Chicago & Montreal are looking to flip spots in the draft order.
Who did you hear that from? Lol. What can Montreal realistically offer for the 2nd overall pick? Obviously the 5th and then you have to assume that Chicago will be wanting a good young player or two and probably more assets or future assets
I heard it from Pat Boyle who covers the Hawks on Comcast. He mentioned that Montreal really wants Deminov and they don’t think he will be there at #5. Chicago definitely needs help at forward.
@@jamescoogan4167 if Chicago needs help on the forward side of things, why would they abandon the second overall pick to select at 5th instead? Demidov is the best player outside of Macklin.
I think the uncertainty of these Russian players being allowed to come over is something they need to do their homework on. Daniel Briere was quoted the other day as saying he is still not sure if Michkov will be allowed to come over in two years. I wouldn’t have a problem taking Deminov if he was from North America. I would be very careful taking him now.
@@jamescoogan4167 both he and his agent have been very open with the fact that they do not want to extend in Russia and are looking to move to North America as soon as possible. His contract with SKA ends after next season. It’s just a one season wait for such a gifted offensive talent.
Really don’t see Anaheim taking Silayev, though it wouldn’t shock me
Who is on your wishlist for them to draft at 3rd?
Yeah, Silayev will fall to the 9-14 range.
Silayev is a monster. Just a total beast with a mean streak as tall as he is. He is literally the best shut down prospect to enter a draft in years. The Ducks need solid D. They have amazing offensive minded D prospects but no one who can punish opposing players who dare cross out of the neutral zone. Silayev would also be fantastic on the penalty kill. He may not score a lot, but again the Ducks don't need that with what they have already and watching him crush opposing players and run them over like a freight train would also be entertaining.
@@AnaheimRob I think he has more offensive potential than he’s given credit for. He was his teams ppqb for the MHL playoffs and did get PP time in the KHL. His skills are just really raw because of his size.
@@UuuWwwVvv You are probably right with his offensive potential. Good chance there is more there than what everyone is already seeing.
Sounds like a crapshoot after Celebrini
Silyev Eric Cairns or Chara? Probably Cairns.
Way closer to Chara. He has all the tools. He’s also 17 and 6’7” so he has a longer development path in all likelihood. If he was 6’2” he’d go #1 but he won’t hit his prime for 5-7 years so he’ll drop. A lot can happen in 5-7 years but he might be the best Russian D prospect in 30+ years.
This is so way off! ( There, I mocked your draft. ) 😂😂😂😂
Not sure SY would pass on Nygard for Greentree.
Liam is not a great skater and Detroit has one of the slowest groups of forwards in the league and the trend continues.
Also Nygard is a right handed RW who will be playing with ASP next year in Skellefteå AIK.
nygard is the exact type player yzerman has already drafted in marco kasper and nate danielson. they need big wingers who can score and greentree would be that player. stevie has stated this team needs size at foward.
Nygard is a 6’1, 200 lb 17 year old power forward and is fast. He’s going to be a beast down low. Needs another year or 2 to develop more offensive skills. Think Patric Hornqvist.
lol you may wanna go watch game tapes of both players. Nygard is not a goal scorer period. His numbers are not great and he's not playing in the top league in Sweden. Greentree is a goal scorer and is compared to Wyatt Johnston of Dallas. Just go watch both on prospects tape. lol
@@harveyhelka9186 I have and I agree with the Greentree comp. That’s why I gave a comp for the type of player Nygard will probably be. He is a big power winger, just with a different style of play than Greentree. Greentree might score more points, but Nygard might be way better defensively and have more versatility.
@@UuuWwwVvv 💯 nygard is a better 200 foot player. But Detroit has those players in kasper and danielson. Detroit problems is scoring from the wing. Detroit is one of the teams in the nhl that has small fowards. At some pt you gotta grab some size at the fowards to compete with the big physical teams like the panthers, canes, bruins, but you need big guys who can score in the dirty areas whether it's from the half wall or in the slot anywhere in the house. They need to last a long playoff , where teams try to break your will. Im hoping Cole Eiserman falls to Detroit because regardless of his defenseless flaws. the guy is flat out a goal scoring sniper and Detroit hasn't had a fifty goal scorer since federov and ray Sheppard
Sam Dicksinson?
As a Habs fan, Lindstrom's injury history is a huge red flag. He could be the next Brady Tkachuk but can he stay healthy?
His back is 100% fine.
I'll be very excited if the Wild ended up with Cole Eiserman
No way he drops that far
@@WuShocksprobably not but there’s a lot of rankings that have him going around that range.
Tig Iglina? Whos that?
Iginla’s daughter
Ask yer Mom🤣😉
I think you are high sir
All speculations! Even NHL scouts have no clue how its gonna go lol. Very polarized draft
The Russian factor is made up lmao. Demidov doesn’t fall past 5 and most likely goes 2nd. Totally different situation than mitchkov. And guess what…mitchkov is most likely playing in the NHL. You are WAY over blowing Russia. All signs point to Demidov wanting to come over as soon as possible.
It’s a mock draft the Russian factor exists or michkov goes 2nd last year
In a recent podcast Daniel Brière said he had no contact with Michkov since the draft
Are you high?
@@davide39 Michkov refused to meet with teams outside of a select few before the draft. Never acknowledged that he would want to play in the NHL. His dad was mysteriously murdered. Had 3 more years left on his KHL contract. Demidov is telling scouts he wants to come to North America after his contract is up. After the 24/25 season. Refused to extend his contract with SKA. Demidov is going to be participating in a special pre draft Russian combine and made available to nhl interviews. Kyle Davidson was being interviewed on 670 the score in Chicago…the host asked him if he would be worried about drafting a Russian because the host said he would be a little concerned. Davidson told him it’s not an issue. Not concerned about drafting players from Russia.
Some key notes from Scott Powers Interview with Veteran KHL Scout on Ivan Demidov:
• “He will definitely go overseas after next year. He’s told me that a number of times. He doesn’t want to prolong his contract.”
•“and I thought who’s better, Celebrini or Demidov? I think Demidov is better just in terms of his creativity, in terms of his skating, in terms of how he thinks the game.”
• On Demidov’s size: “No, That’s wrong. I think he’s about 184 Centimetres or 6 Feet now, around that…. I think he’ll grow further too.”
• “What impresses me about him is his personality. He’s a great guy; everyone loves him, in the locker room, he’s a true leader. He’s a guy who wants to do everything to get success in hockey.”
• On comparisons with Levshunov: “He’s a pretty good player. But I think Demidov has more talent. He’s a guy who can do it all. If his shot can improve a bit, he’ll be a 50-goal forward, for sure.”
If Demidov was there at 6, Utah would take him. Armstrong loves Russians.
Good God no Iginla to the Salt Lake sister wives
columbus will take lindstromdemidov to chicago
Would not be shocked if the Ducks take Iginla
They are absolutely stacked at Center and wing though?
I just see them taking a D.
Don’t hate the idea of Cole Hutson for the sharks, just hope we trade down to 19-20 ish for him
Demidov is great, but the Hawks neeeed a top right hand defenseman. Not always the best to draft based on need, but Levshunov is just as good as Demidov (imo)
Would love it if Demidov slipped to the habs
Questionable if Levshunov is a #1 defenseman. If he was a slam dunk #1 then yes. If he’s a second pairing guy you can’t draft him ahead of Demidov
@@BedardsBurnerworst case for Levshunov would be number 2 Dman he's a stud but it's an hard pass to ignore Demidov who's close to Michkov in pure talent
@user-ed6nt1ml6p thats not worst case scenario levshunov has really questionable defense
More game iq than defense, his length and body size helps him break up plays easy but his defensive zone plays can get pretty awkward@@zackcohen7877
Your top 10 is off!
Bill Armstrong in Utah loves Russians, can't see them pass on Demidov but living near Seattle (Victoria BC) would love Demidov. 🏒🏒
