Chicago - I think the right pick for them should be Levshunov. They have their cornerstone centre, and you need an elite C and an elite RD to fully kickstart a rebuild. If not him them it's Lindstrom; their forward core in the future is very small.
Anaheim - If the Hawks take Levshunov, my opinion is that the right pick for them is Demidov to play in their top six. However, they're looking for a top-six right shot F and a top-4 right shot D. I think it'll just end up being that they take Silayev to complement Zellweger or Mintyukov - someone can play right side.
Columbus - They're probably gonna take a centre with this pick in my opinion. They have an elite C in Fantilli if they don't mess up his development, and Kent Johnson isn't a centre -- probably a LW -- so they'll need a centreman. Lindstrom is their pick here. However, if for some reason they don't want him, they need to take a different forward or a two way defenseman (Dickinson?)
Montreal - I hope Demidov falls to us. It'll be a dream - but I don't know if that's happening. That being said, we're probably either going to take Iginla/Catton, or trade down (maybe with CGY?) to still get the same guy, but avoid reaching on them
