KD mentioned he wants size on the back end. Im not a fan of smaller PP D. look and Sanderson from OTT does he effect the game more vlasic? yes he puts up more pts. would you rather have vlasic for 6 X 4.6 or Sanderson at 8 X $8.05? me its Vlasic all day. its about how much you effect the game and at what cost. you spend $35 mil on your D and there is nothing left for your goalie or forwards. in playoffs depth seems to win out over stars. IE a few guys that take up a ton of space and then you have a 8 people on your roster at league min. the next D in the hughs maker, fox mold is going to get $11 mil

I agree but its about salary cap and were you spend the money


factoring in how much of the salary cap they use up. Sanderson is bring paid like a #1 vlasic is being paid like a #3
and I think thats about how they will play for the majority of their contracts.

I agree with 1,2,3,4 . Sennecke is looking more and more like top 10 at the very least

This kid is projected to be a late first, early 2nd. His development jump has been tremendous. Will likely be the talk of the town when prospects compete in the combine. Could be a guy Davidson and company really take a hard look at later.

With the Golden Goldens now taking it to a game 7 with Dallas...a victory in the series finale keeps the slim hopes of thatcTB#20 turningbinto#19 if Vegas then goes on to win their next series in such a scenario...So let us all hope for Vegas to beat Dallas in Game 7 and advance to keep these hopes alive.

It may not seem like much ...just1spot difference ...but if tgerevisxacorosoect JD likes better to draft then it would suck if he just goes off the board thatc1 spot ahead of our TB pick...so always better to draf at that 1 slot earlier....Go Vegas!

Sounds like a KD favorite, assuming his skating is good enough. Could be a target at 34. He’s definitely a type of forward we need more of in the prospect pool.

That article really sells him! One thing I thoroughly believe is that hard work is just as much of a skill as any other.

I doubt he's there at 34. Power forward and a coaches dream. Character guy that projects as a 3rd line center or so. His skating is very so-so. He is hard to move off the puck, good penalty killer, and great around the front of the net. His offensive upside is limited. Think Colby Barlow with more playmaking and less goal scoring. Not really sure he's flashed a ton of offensive upside

Sorry, but all those naysayers about Lindstrom due to injuries have put Demidov in the same camp.....and then, of course, there's the Russian Factor....the injury just made him drop 5 slots, IMO.

I view EJ Emery as a candidate at 20. I’ve been pleased with his U18. Right handed defenseman. Granted there’s a lot of “Emery shoots wide and misses the net” but that’s ok, you’re not getting a superstar at the spot. 34th pick would be perfect but you don’t get greedy if the scouts like the player by hoping they last another 14 picks.

Assuming we stay at 2 how would people feel if Davidson rolled dice and went high risk/high reward

#2 = RW Ivan Demidov
#20 = LW Igor Chernyshov
Trade #34 + #54 to get back into late part of 1st round = RW Nikita Artamonov
#62 = RD Luca Marrielli

Thoughts?
