Here’s who he has the Habs picking. 9 Centres is a bit much but this sub will be thrilled if we get both Demidov and Koivu:
5 – Ivan Demidov
>Like Anaheim at No. 3, Montreal would be under a lot of tension here in this scenario. They want a forward. Demidov is a great forward. He is also an average-sized wing playing in Russia. There are other great alternatives they could turn to, be it Sennecke or Tij Iginla up front or Zeev Buium on defense. I think they pinch their nose and take the dynamic winger but this will be a tough debate for them and it wouldn’t surprise me if they went in a different direction. If Lindstrom got to them at No. 5 it would make their lives a bit easier.
Also worth noting that he thinks the Blue Jackets will pick one of Lindstrom, Silayev, or Sennecke. If Demidov drops past Chicago then it’s likely he’s there at 5.

Please let Silayev in the top 4 be a reality 🙏

GM’s often try to recreate whatever works for the most recent cup team and it’s safe to say that both Florida and Edmonton have a ton of size. I could definitely see a premium being put on Silayev and Lindstrom because of that.
It’s not likely but I can still see Demidov falling to 5.
Either way, I’m ready to be hurt again bby 🙃

A good 2nd rounder if he’s still available is Merek Vanacker. Showed a lot of offensive upside in the O this year and was injured could end up being a solid everyday 3rd line guy in a couple years.

Demidov and Surin would be such a home run draft holy molly

is it his personnal ranking, or what’s he’s hearing?
Yegor Surin at 26 would make me so happy, the guy is highly skilled, and one of the most obnoxious player on the ice(big gallagher, marchand, tkachuk vibe).

This would be a draft that would happily get me through to October.

It’s worth noting that Pronman is not high on Demidov at all. He has Catton and Sennecke above him in his rankings. I’d say his bias against him skews his mocks a little this year so don’t be shocked if he’s off this time.

Teddy Stiga at 57 would be incroyable.
Stiga is the 23rd ranked prospect in eliteprospects draft guide where it says he has shades of “Jake Guentzel and JJ Peterka”.

He’s been right 2 years in a row for the habs. Here’s hoping! 🤞
Dialectical
If we skipped michkov to take a D like reinbacher just to take Demidov a year later it will be interesting to look back in 5 years lol, Michkov + a guy like buium or parekh vs demidov and reinbacher

I won’t believe Demidov will drop to us until I see it. I will not get my hopes up only to get them crushed lol.

Are there any updates on the report that Lindstrom had a herniated disc? That should be a huuuge red flag if true….

Trade Pick 11 with buff for catton.

Anaheim is the hardest team ahead of us for me to get a read on. It seems like most prognosticators have them taking a defenceman, which sort of makes sense since they just traded Drysdale for Gauthier, but they have so many quality prospects at both defence and forward that need may not be all that relevant to their calculations.
