For me it's either Eiserman or Lindstrom, they're the missing pieces of our top 6.

Celebrini, Lev are certainly going before these 2, and I think we end up with 6th OA, so we get Demidov, Lindstrom, Helenius, Eiserman available for sure, and I think there could be 2 more Ds that get in the top 5

Dickinson is sure to be a top 5

They also have a chance at celebrini….just a slim one

Demidov
Lindstrom
Helenius
Eiserman

In that order for me. Catton gets added if it's outside the top 10 but at that point I'd start considering Dickinson or Silayev if they're still on the board

IDK, not insanely sold on him, I have him 8

give me your top ten please

with that draft being a huge enigmatic mystery is that possible for Habs to try to lend another top 10?

Helenius.

1 Mack Celebrini
2 Artyom Levshunov
3 Zeev Buium
4 Cayden Lindstrom
5 Cole Eiserman
6 Konsta Helenius
7 Ivan Demidov
8 Sam Dickinson
9 Berkly Catton
10 Zayne Parekh

Just to end up drafting Catton. I'm sure it's going to be a european foward. Knowing Bobrov, he loves them. We're 100% not drafting a dmen. Not taking any Russians either so no Demidov. So i would bet my house that we're going to end up with one of them :

Helenius Lindstrom Eiserman Celebrini ( doubt it ) Catton.

The fact that we took a dmen ( Reinbacher ) last year would force us to take a foward in a LOADED defensive class. Levshunov Silayev Dickinson Parekh Yakemchuk etc.

if we win #2 who do you draft?

trade back couple of spots. someone pays the price to move up and take levshunov.

Should we go for Lindstrom or Eiserman?

uhhh would be kind of a reach at 2. if we can move down to like 4 and add something interesting i kinda would. i feel like gms don't do this often but it's a very good way to collect ammos and load up. adding another tier A prospect and trading back just to end up with the #1 guy on YOUR board is what i would do. We almost did actually last draft. With Detroit and Nashville but they were picking like 15th and that's too far. Even tho they offered Askarov. So basically we could of had Wood and Askarov + instead of Reinbacher.

sorry misspelled my wording, if we go down what should we ask back, another forward?

y

we should ask for something crazy. like a tier prospect + a 2nd

To answer your previous question, i would say Eiserman. Knowing the management group, it's going to be Lindstrom and i would be fine with that. He's a " unicorn " and a " big horse " lmao.

Is there a team in the bottom 10 actually that can pay such price and who would you want in one of those team??

I really love Lindstrom pedigree

Devils have no cap space, Hammy isnt on LTIR. Theres a reason why they havent put him on LTIR and Allen should be a last chance option for the Devils at goalie when there are many cheaper and better one out there.

hughes desperatly tried to move up last draft with san jose to take will smith. he said that the cost to move up was " crazy and expensive". It was 1 spot!!! Grier was probably asking for a 1st thinking about it. If it was a 2nd + it would be done. So lets say we end up with #2 and Calgary ends up at #4, you should ask for

MTL : #4 + Pelletier + 2nd rounder
CGY : #2 + Ylonen

We would then end up with Helenius Pelletier + 2nd instead of just the guy at #2

Is something like #2 overall + a young d vs #5 overall + det 1st + Ostapchuk could be a thing or am I far off?

you mean with ott? something like that? Because it's boston pick not Detroit in the debrincat trade.

Ott : Harris + #2
Mtl : Ostpachuk + #30 ( bos not det cuz of trade conditions )

Very far off.

I've corrected
