<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>- Maybe Demidov is overrated but I don't see him falling out of the top 5 due to a Russian factor. You have Anaheim who has a young star player in Mintyukov and a need at RW, and you have Columbus with like 6 Russians on their roster. Lastly there is Montreal who is in need of more offense. Even if Chicago passes on him, there is no chance in hell all 3 of those teams do too.
- Columbus has been heavily linked to Silayev and frankly there is no way Levshunov is getting past #3. As for Buium, he's not pure offense, he is quite decent defensively too, why he is below Levshunov in most rankings is because he played in a weaker NCAA division.
- I don't think the Yakemchuk take is that unrealistic. I just think they probably take one of the 2 OHL defensemen due to Staios' connections with the league
- Catton is small, everyone knows that. But in terms of pure skill he is easily one of the best players in the draft</div></div>

Chicago, Anaheim and Columbus all need centers more than wingers, all three teams could use a good defenseman more than another winger too. Anaheim definitely likes their players big and mean too.

Yeah I'm not that big on Levshunov either but he's still probably a top 10 pick. Personally I'd take Yakemchuk over him, probably a few other players (both forwards and defensemen) too.

Catton we'll never agree on... At least not until years from now when one of us is proven right... He's either as good as you think, overrated like I think or somewhere in between. :)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jwills2001</b></div><div>"meh prospects like Mercer and Casey for him" Exactly what you said. And saying Casey would be lucky to make the NHL when he just signed his elc and will be getting ahl mins next yr and proved skill in NCAA. Im not saying these guys are future world beaters but come on. Calgary would be more than happy to have them, maybe just you wouldn't. Look at this like a GM, Mercer is a proven 20+ goal scorer at 22 (thats a pretty great piece to have on a team where your best scorer was Sharangovich (former dev). Also just saying you guys had a NCAA 5'11 defenseman taken in the third round who worked out pretty well (Adam fox enters the chat) so shutting down Casey cause he's 5'10 and second rd pick is hard to say when he kinda proved himself last season at the world jrs and at Mich.</div></div>

Again I did not say that. I said:

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoxNix</b></div><div>Brady to NJ won't be happening especially not if NJ isn't even willing to trade 3rd line players or meh prospects like Mercer and Casey for him. That'd take at least your 2024 1st and a player/prospect a whole lot better than either of those two.</div></div>

That's Mercer a 3rd line winger and Casey a meh prospect. Mercer may become a good middle 6 forward eventually but he isn't one now. He's bounced around between 2nd and 3rd line wing but wasn't even able to earn a spot as 3rd line center over Nosek (and that was with Huala as 2nd line center). He's following the same path as Zacha and Sharangovich before him but isn't as good as either one. Devils fans need to look at what those two were traded for and come back to reality.

Comparing Casey to Fox is absurd too. Just because Fox is a small defenseman who became a star doesn't mean and even smaller defenseman is a star too. In fact history suggests the opposite is far more likely, the vast majority of smaller junior defensemen never become NHL regulars.
