The beat writer for the Buffalo News thinks they will pick Eklund if they acquire another top ten pick, so maybe that might be the 3rd you’re talking about. If they don’t pick Power or Beniers first I wonder who they’d be after. Wallstedt maybe? Wasn't it a thing where Edmonton didn't interview Yakapov but still took him 1st overall? Not sure I would read into that too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 There's probably less than 5 Russian Cs in the NHL, not sure about this Svechkov kid. I believe he also plays LW, but still, getting Shirokov vibes. Predicted Ceiling: Bottom 6 forward, if he makes the NHL Hoping for Lucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Edmonton looking to pick up Keith that frees up a lot of cap space. Trading the 11th oa in this draft is a no-brainer, but I wonder if CHI has to give up more picks in 2022? I wouldn't be surprised if there's a conditional 1st in this deal from CHI. Edited July 6, 2021 by Jimmy McGill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I would read into that too much. I don’t necessarily read anything into it, maybe Adams hasn’t got around to it yet. Or maybe they have both been interviewed by now. Maybe he is trying to be coy. Or maybe he’s looking at someone else, which would definitely be interesting. If we had the first OA and JB was yet to talk to two of the top rated prospects people here would be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sold on taking another Russian in the Top 10 two years in a row to begin with. I watched some video and just came to that conclusion where I don't feel he'll be an impactful NHL player.

Guys who have elite skating and are big, but really don’t process the game very well. Similar to Broberg as he has really good tools and size, Edvinsson is much better defensively than Broberg and he was able to make a big difference on the defensive side of the game at the U18. Just not sure of his offensive upside and makes me a little cautious of using a top 10 pick on him. Some scouts are very high on him though and he is a safe bet to be an NHL defender. If our Euro scouts give you the green light and he is there at 9, zero problem taking him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams that were practically all Canadians Dont get me wrong I would love to have a good ol' Canadian 2 way center or Physical Dman on the team. Already have one of them in Horvat. Sounds like McTavish is right up your alley though, seems very Canadian, straight out of the bush. Edited July 6, 2021 by Bure_Pavel 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
