  1. The More clips I see of Simashev I’m just so impressed by his skating. Especially at his size it looks silly. i do really like Willanders skating too though he’s incredibly quick / mobile is always in guys faces pushing them to places they can’t make plays
  2. You won the day in my books here hahaha
  3. Not a rank his mock draft. like when he ranked virtanen in the 40s or whatever but mocked to us cause he knew we were high on him so maybe he’s got intel Zona is high on wood.
  4. I really like Danielson too and she F we took Honzek I’d be supportive but not as excited as I am for the guys I listed or others even. But yea gonna be super exciting draft day after Bedard at 1. can’t wait to nerd out with y’all and watch it haha
  5. Detroit would be weird cause we traded that pick and I don’t think we’d go out of 15 from the sounds of it PA said the team has a top 15 but if 2/3 in surplus of 15 are there based off how the draft goes maybe! Would just be weird optics with Detroit hard for me to accept as possible Nashville seems most likely since they are the draft host too but who knows Arizona might be easier to trade with pick 12 for them
  6. Ya he’s going to get interviewed by us to sounds like before the draft.
  7. Im okay dropping to 15 MAX depending on who is there at 11 and who is left on the board. IF we could still get a solid player at 15 like Willander / Simashev / Danielson and then pick up another solid D prospect in the second round with it I would be very okay with it. I doubt we move up, and staying put at 11 is most likely I agree.
  8. Im curious to see who will live up to their contract better between BO and TIMO and not just in points but in impact / fit and playoff performance. I think TIMO could be set up for success better. I honestly wouldn't want either contract tho But I am leaning Timo here.
  9. I like Willander A LOT. But we can safely say the pressure on him to shake or OJ fear and have a monster draft +1 year in the NCAA will be mighty strong if this draft scenario became a reality with: Dvorsky / Benson / Danielson / Yager / Perreault Getting drafted right after.
  10. What's fun is there isn't really a top 10 scenario that leaves us without a good player.
  11. I heard Montreal wants to move up too. So in your scenario Anaheim takes Carlsson? I think with Rick Nash in Columbus its pretty hard to see them not liking Fantilli over Smith. But I could be wrong for sure. I dont know how loud his voice is but I could see them really liking Fantilli. I could see them taking Smith over Carlsson though easier than I can see over fantilli.
  12. will be interesting if Perreault or ASP push into the top 10.
  13. It just wont happen. Kid is a physical monster. Hes the youngest in the draft and has a very good development path in front of him. He really showed at the u18s he can dominate his peers too. I just dont see him getting out of the top 10 and if hes there when we go up I could see our scouting group being very high on him but we will see how things shake down. My most wanted on draft day now in our draft range: DVORSKY / WOOD / REINBACHER / WILLANDER / SIMASHEV Reinbacher and Dvorsky likely gone though. I really want one of Wood / Willander / Simashev.
  14. Id struggle with passing on Dvorsky big time. Willander I am comfortable taking over a lot of guys but not sure about over him. I highly doubt Craigs mock is accurate here but sometimes he gets strong reads on players / team aligned interests. Wood to Arizona I had not even considered but it could make a lot of sense. And they do scout the NCAA heavy,
  15. Don’t be sorry haha it should be tradition
  16. I can’t even imagine him in their sweater for some reason but if it happens cheers to the call!
  17. Ya I’ll be ecstatic if we get Wood
  18. I disagree, the only comps I see between them at the same age is that they are C and most public scouting reports say 3C potential. Bo wasn't a playmaker for us and he wasn't for the Knights. He was mostly a finisher. He also wasn't a great skater in his draft year. Nate does drive the net but he also makes space for his line mates by using his speed and size and makes great passing plays regularly. He plays to make space for his wingers an creates opportunities for lesser line mates regularly. And I think that should be really of note. Hi passes you say work better, and he has lesser line mates. It says a lot about how he elevates players around him in how he plays the game you know. If you are comparing Bo in the NHL with his toe drag rushes sure I can see that but its not Nates only way of creating offence.
  19. The gamble will be can he be second pairing guy when partnered with d the level of Hronek. Where Hronek leads the pairing and he just makes the simple/physical plays etc if our management projects it I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt since for the most part their pro scouting has been pretty good much better then we are use to lol
  20. Ya all the stuff circulating Michkov you wonder hoe much truth there is to it. OR if its scouts slandering to try and help him fall to them, or michkov trying to go to a specific team, or bitter scouts upset they wont get him trying to slander too lol. Or media people just trying to make something into a problem. Its hard to know when he wasn't at the combine and didn't do interviews too, BUT I just saw this ^ for what its worth
