This mock draft has Utah taking Sam Dickinson. Can’t see Montreal taking Silayev or Zeev dropping.

BA hasn't drafted a player from the OHL during his time here. Last one for the yotes was Hayton in 2018.
Im looking foward to the combine in early June.
Maybe RS and his $$ will allow BA to beef up the team's OHL scouting? The conspicuous absence of any OHL picks could point to budgetary constraints.

OHL went absolutely insane about COVID. I think there’s was a little stink left of a few draft classes. From all those kids not being allowed to play, practice or train for so long. That’s one of my theories. It’s not a worse league than the WHL or QMJHL. If anything it’s the best of the three. It’s gotten a lot wimpier than the Dub in the regular season. But it’s not less tough in the playoffs. And BA, himself, is a former OHLer. And the Blues had no issues drafting from the league. Pietrangelo who’s a crown jewel of that scouting staff was an OHLer.
I think the OHL is generally over-drafted. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't pick OHL players, but it does suggest that it's rare to get a bargain there.
If But played OHL he would've been a top 5 prospect. Playing in Russia allowed Bill to pick him up at a slight bargain with the 12th pick. Our scouts are pretty good at finding bargains.

Anyone watching the U18 Gold Medal game right now?
USA up 3-2 going into 3rd period. USA all over them in the 2nd period
...and as Cole Eiserman said during 2nd intermission, "doing what Cole Eiserman does" - haha, I always find it funny when athletes refer to themselves in the 3rd person
I laughed so hard.

Getting major Dan Fritsche, Robbie Schremp, Kirill Kabanov, Nikita Filatov, Josh Ho Sang vibes.
Wonder if this kid will bomb the combine interviews and drop to the late 20s.

I had this hilarious result last night. Never even considered this. Utah won 2nd overall. Then Philly won 1st overall but due to 10 spot move up rule could go no further than 2nd, so dropped Utah down to 3rd.
Most Coyotes outcome possible. Finally secure the first top two pick ever, and then have it taken away immediately.

It does appear there is a Top 5 crystallizing.
For me personally, I’m ok with that. As much as I understand Celebrini, Demidov, Silayev, Levshunov and Lindstrom as a set top five, I have enough worries about Demidov (Russian factor - his club is not like Lokomotiv), Silayev (puck skills are barely average and he’s got a lot to round out), Levshunov (crazy tools, crazy inconsistent - reminds me of Conor Geekie as a D), and Lindstrom (plagued by back injuries already as a teenaged power forward?).
So it’s okay for me that there’s a small consensus top five forming and we’re outside of that consensus. I’m not worried about that. I like Zeev Buium and Sam Dickinson as much or more than most of those guys anyway.
It seems to me that we are VERY likely to get one of Celebrini, Demidov, Silayev, Levshunov, Lindstrom, Dickinson or Buium. I’d be 100% satisfied with any one of those names.

He’s 10th on Bob’s list. And he’s 10th on my list. So if we drop to 7th or 8th (or even stay at 6th) that’s far from a big reach. Doesn’t make a ton of sense from a positional perspective but if they think he’s a future 40g man, then they have to get the best asset.
They may decide to go with BPA (even a winger) in the 1st and then use all three 2nds on D.
Broadcast on Sportsnet 3:30 Pacific/6:30 Eastern. As @Mosby suggested why not just win the one slot?

This stinks..... I'm normally enthusiastic about the draft, but my enthusiasm is lacking, with the team now in Utah.
