Personally, I don’t think it’s a good idea to take a dman with knee injury history. Isn’t that what happened to Cuma?Next 3: Sennecke, Helenius and MBN.
I don’t think they will trade Heidt until he at least gets some games in the NHL.I say we explore trading Gus, Heidt, 2024 1st, 2025 2nd, to see how far that can get us up the draft board.
To what end? That doesn’t get you first overall, and there isn’t even a consensus number 2, let alone top 10 that would make it a strong value proposition. Anywhere 2-15+ you are getting a high potential player with significant question marks this year.I say we explore trading Gus, Heidt, 2024 1st, 2025 2nd, to see how far that can get us up the draft board.
Totally get it. Just thought he’d be worth some value in this hypothetical.Personally, I don’t think it’s a good idea to take a dman with knee injury history. Isn’t that what happened to Cuma?
I’m not super thrilled with Helenius either.

Gus has no future here. We can trade the picks; I’m just curious how far that would get us. I wouldn’t mind getting Buium/Dickinson if they’re on the board.To what end?

If Montreal doesn't get Lindstrom at #5, I could see them trading the pick as they are pretty loaded on D. Maybe the Wild can do something with the Habs.I say we explore trading Gus, Heidt, 2024 1st, 2025 2nd, to see how far that can get us up the draft board.
That’s what I was thinking. They could maybe use a goalie? Not sure if he’s an upgrade though..If Montreal doesn't get Lindstrom at #5, I could see them trading the pick as they are pretty loaded on D. Maybe the Wild can do something with the Habs.

I'm sure Eiserman would be a blast to watch, but I feel like we'd all be bitching about everything else he does that isn't scoring goals.
It's hard to get 'We need good centers' out of my head. Kind of been beat into my brain for...well, the teams inception.
So, I'm kind of hoping for Helenius or Catton somehow gets far down enough for them to snag.
Really? I don't think so.There is certainly a consensus 2/3
Getting to 1-3 would've been an absolute pipe dream.There is certainly a consensus 2/3

I was talking about being organically bad enough.Even top 5 would be a dream.
I will be shocked if Demidov/Levshunov don’t go 2 and 3.Really? I don't think so.
In general, let's go BPA. I want the best hockey player, no matter what the position, though obviously you weight RHD over LHD (for us), Center above wing, RHS over LHS, and size, all things being equal.
I see that Lindstrom is ranked way higher than Catton, even though the latter had a significantly better year. I get it, but don't know that I agree with it. There are other examples where size is valued over skill in this draft, like Levshunov over Buium, Silayev over a lot of players(though he was playing the best league against men).
Oh well, we'll sort it out in @Digitalbooya 's poll.
Russian/Belarus players..hmm..not too sure about that. Seems to me it's kinda hard to get them over to NA these days. Lev is already there, so he might be the #2. Don't know anything about him though.I will be shocked if Demidov/Levshunov don’t go 2 and 3.
