Unfortunately we had to go on a tear as usual to end the season. If Arizona picks Michkov, the question will be will he be happy playing in an empty arena?

I'd be fine with Danielson, Wood, Willander, or any dropper (Benson, Reinbacher, Moore, etc.) If we take Simashev we would have such good skaters on the backend. Simashev, Hughes, Hronek. Wow. I'm fairly confident he'll be there at 11 too, if not a later pick in the case of a trade back. Russians will go a lot later than they should because of the uncertainty around them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my Lord could you imagine if Simashev pans out to anything close to his ceiling, and then have always one of Hughes or Simashev on the ice for 55 minutes of every game? At home a coach could match up Simashev defensively against opponent's best players and leave Hughes to run wild against secondary competition.

CanuckFan1123 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I’ve been on the Moore, Reinbacher, or Dvorsky train for so long but y’all are kind of starting to talk me into Simashev last minute. God I wish we had like 4 picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's very likely Simashev will be gone by our pick, because of the Russian factor... But this last minute hype is making me nervous, and if he's there at 11 we should maybe just take him and forego a trade down. 7 minutes ago, HighOnHockey said: Oh my Lord could you imagine if Simashev pans out to anything close to his ceiling, and then have always one of Hughes or Simashev on the ice for 55 minutes of every game?

Simashev is so good at skating out of trouble, but if the forecheck bears on him, he's hard to knock off the puck. Very rare to see that kind of skating and size together.

Geez everyone.... this is Myers but everyone made Myers become defensive and blocking instead of "Luckily, Simashev does not fall into that, as his defensive aggression is one of the things I love most about him. When opposing forwards are working against Simashev, he’s a smothering presence, attacking aggressively with his stick positioning to disrupt possession of the puck and generate turnovers."

Devron Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I hate figuring out what time zone I’m in. Does the draft start in 1 hour? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have enough defense coming up. I would prefer to draft the best forward available. Simashev would come play fine, but as soon as Demko isnt in the net he will turn into last 2 years Myers.

I like the centers more than the defensemen in this draft, but I would way rather get a defenseman than another winger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
