Obviously no from buffalo

The only way that the Montreal first gets ahead of the Anaheim first in order to draft Levshunov is if the Habs win the second-place lottery, in which case I see them using it themselves.

Were you thinking of Dadonov? (Mikheyev is with Vancouver.)

Lmao. No.

How does Dallas give you the Mikheyev contract and where is it?

Absolutely not from Buffalo.

No i was entertaining the idea of trading Kovacevic to Vancouver for a 2nd round pick and Mikheyev contract.

I would be surprised if Anaheim draft at 3rd and doesn’t pick one of Demidov or Lindtrom.

I will be shocked, outraged and disappointed if Anaheim picks second or third and doesn't select Levshunov.

Demidov is at least a putative RW (although he's left-handed) but Lindstrom is duplicative of Zegras, Carlsson, Gauthier and McTavish. If we get screwed a third time by the lottery process, I'd rather we choose Helenius, Parekh, Yakemchuk or even Buium (who I understand plays well on his off side) than Lindstrom.

I am not that high on Lindstrom either, but historically when a prospect have is size and talent they usually get pick early. San jose, Chicago, Anaheim, Columbus and Mtl could all use size up front. I would be shocked at all if he was selected early in this draft. Now the question is, would i selected him top 5? No i wouldn’t. I think that Parehk, Bium, Levshunov and Dickinson would all be better pick. I would also pick Greentree and Iginla before Lindstrom. But that just me i know that Lindstrom is a sexy pick so i’ll go early
