QUESTION OF THE DAY — What Are YOUR Thoughts On Carter Yakemchuk? Would YOU Trade Up To Get Him If He Falls Past 12/13? Or Even Earlier? Let Me Know!!
Yakemchuck and Levshunov are similar defenseman prospects with Levshunov being a better skater and with slightly better defensive awareness. They both need a lot of work in the defensive zone.
I would not trade up for Yakemchuck but if he was there at 18, it would be a tough decision between he and EJ Emery.
I don't think I would trade up for Yakemchuk. I would sit at 18 and see if the Hawks could get Igor Chernyshov, Adam Jiricek, or Michael Hage. There are other RD defenceman that have size better defensive skills later in the draft.
It is near impossible to fully evaluate Arvid Soderblom because the team in front of him was so dreadful and offered no protection or support. Difficult to be an NHL caliber goalie when you are playing with an AHL team + Connor Bedard.
If he fell to 18 would be miraculous as far as Soderblom he gets a D didn’t see him take a step up in is play all year he was flopping around the crease like a fish out of water I think they need to move on from him unfortunately.
