No chance. Only way is teams see something on his medical that has them second guessing picking him.

And if he falls, no way CGY passes on him at #9

I wasn't high at all on Zayne Parekh but after seeing his numbers at the end of the season, damn this kid is good, possibly even top 5 good, hopefully Ottawa lands the kid

I hope so . But would be extremely happy with Iginla too. I love Dickinson as well but being LD kinda sucks. Still wouldn’t hesitate to take him as a 3rd choice

My guess this year is Catton, teams always let the smaller skilled guys fall. Another could be Eiserman, it would be a similar situation to Kaliyev a few years back (was rated the best shooter of his draft class) ranked to go in the top 10, and fell almost 20-25 spots.

I'm guessing Calgary takes a chance on the Helenius kid, if not, then they'll probably take Silayev, they do need defenceman now

For sure!!! If the Sens take Dickensen, I can see the Sens possibly trading away both Chych and Chabs too, be nice to add another 1st round pick either this year or even next, Chabs does still have high value I'd say

I think there's a serious case for Silayev for MTL. For this draft, I started asking myself who do I think will impact the game more 5 years down the road and come playoff time because the prospects are so close from 4-12. I think I'm taking a potential 24 minute monster defenseman, I don't care what way he shoots. Fact is, this kind of player isn't available in a trade or FA (unless you're the sens and let him go in 07 lol) . Im secretly hoping he falls to the sens at 7 and they don't fumble

There's legitimately a case for at least 10 different guys that MTL could potentially draft at 5, I agree they should just do BPA and they can make the pieces of the puzzle fit together later. I think Hughes has already said this, all things equal they will go for need which makes sense, easier to draft the piece you need then to trade your pieces for the ones you need.

Silayev to Ottawa? Hmmm, to be honest, I didn't think of that, I'm guessing that Arizona/Utah takes on the big guy, then they'll bully their way back into a playoff spot and keep doing so for years to come, but who knows

Dickenson to Ottawa seems more imaginable than Silayev to me, I really believe that the big guy will land in Arizona/Utah, then they'll have a number of huge players and bully their way around getting wins and bully themselves into a playoff spot, I really think the guys in Arizona/Utah really deserve to be winning now, especially after being on the crappy end of the stick for years, it's just too bad that they're letting go a couple seasons too early

For sure. I think Columbus is taking Silayev anyways. Them and Utah have shown the most interests in him

Yeah interesting. He does seems like a Utah pick. The only rebuttle I'd say is hmyhey did that with Simashev last year and it wouldn't shock me if THEY took Parekh or even Buium to get some offensive power on the back end to go with monsters Simashev and Lamareaux. I think this draft will be so fun to see who goes where. And I'm

True, Imo Lindstrom is gone at #4 and Habs select Iginla at #5. But I do get the feeling Habs will surprise with a big trade.

Im always of the belief you go BPA with the caveat that you put a little emphasis on position to differentiate between equal players. Taking Silayev simply doesn't make sense unless they had a Guhle/Hutson/Matheson trade locked and loaded.

If they don't, then I would be fine picking the positional need whose slightly worse than Silayev. Its not like the gap is that great this year. 3-10 is basically a toss up and any one of them could be the best player at that point.

That is kind of the nice thing about this draft, they can't really mess it up as long as they take a player from the consensus top 12-13 players. Last year was the year to NOT reach for a dman...... but hindsight is 20/20 I guess.
