Corey Pronman Midseason Rankings

In general, it does seem like dmen are rising…forwards falling in this draft. Looking like another 2018.

(I just wouldn’t do the same order).

I wouldn't do the same order either, but maybe Pronman sees something we dont. He was the only one that thought Seattle would take Wright and everyone called him crazy. He proved us wrong.

Yakemchuk at 3 is wild

Yeah, thats a hot take here. He's rising up the ranks no doubt, but at 3rd is a reach. At most 10th is reasonable in my opinion.

I like Yakemchuk, and I’ve seen him play quite a few times, but 3OA is crazy! I’m thinking that 10-15 spot is where he will land. I see all four of Levshunov, Dickinson, Parekh, and possibly Buium going before him. If you want a good offensive defence man, then Yakemchuk is your guy imo.

Yeah that's where I have him going. Yakemchuk has been doing great lately, especially the defense has been improving. But 3rd overall is extremely nuts, but then again, Pronman had Wright going 4th overall before draft day and everyone called him crazy.

Order of defenseman:

Levshunov, ranked 4th
Silayev, ranked 6th
Buium- ranked 8th
Dickinson- ranked 9th
Yakemchuk- ranked 10th

Could definitely see that. All of Celebrini, Levshunov, Silayev, Buium, Dickinson, Catton, Demidov, Eiserman. Helenius, and Lindstrom will go before Yakemchuk, potentially even Parekh depending on the teams needs, and how much they like the two defenders, but with my personal knowledge, I would take Yakemchuk. Also, Eiserman falls to the 7-10 spot imo. Not a fan of him.. one way forward that cannot play defence that well. Pronman could be right, but I too don’t see it.

EIserman is still 3rd best player in the draft. My top 10 is:

1. Celebrini
2. Demidov
3. Eiserman
4. Levshunov
5. Connelly
6. Silayev
7. Lindstrom
8. Buium
9. Dickinson
10. Yakemchuk

Catton is 11th, Helenius is 13th, Parekh is 18th
