Very curious to see how the battle between Mukhamadullin and Bystedt plays out.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Picked Muk. Feel Like he’s closer to the NHL than Bystedt. Still really like Bystedt’s progress and potential.

 

[hohosaregood]

Probably just me but I feel like Bystedt is still more of a big ice player. Just needs a little more ice to make his plays

 

[Sendhelplease]

I went with Shak because he is probably closer to the NHL than Bystedt. I think both are better prospects than Musty right now but I understand that Musty is the shiny new toy. I like the upside of both Shak and Bystedt and can see each as top 4 and top 6 players for us.

 

[landshark]

Can't not vote for Shaq!

 

[landshark]

Oh and just in case it's Bystedt...

Thanks!! I think "LS" is reserved for Lady Stanley tho.

Tough one, but went Muk as he looked good in the A last year.

Bystedt was close, but haven’t seen him play in NA yet.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Had to go Muk as well. Has been a top pairing d-man in the KHL for a while now and looked legit in the AHL.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Shakir Mukhamadullin gets my vote

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

I really want to go Thrun but I just love Muk's cool calm collected demeanor when he runs the PP and I wish the Sharks would give Thrun that opportunity (he was captain at his college team so let him try to QB a PP, we need to unlock the skills that these kids have!)

 

[Lebanezer]

The results are telling me that anyone who voted for Musty for #3 thinks that Mukhamadullin is above Bystedt.

 

[seroes]

Mukh. But it's the first time I have at least had to think about it. I don't think he can be more than a middle pairing guy, but that's still better than the rest of what we have.

I still think filip is being under rated. I don't think there is much of a gap between 3/4/5 right this moment. This season is going to tell us a lot.

 

[Friday]

Should make people happier about the Timo trade if our 3rd and 4th best prospects are because of him

 

[DG93]

Bystedt

I'm sure we'll find a way to complain

Smith as well. With Meir on the team they finish higher and take someone else.

I was really surprised to see Musty get voted ahead of both Muk and Bystedt, and I say that as someone excited about his potential. I guess it's just recency bias or something, but I agree about Bystedt being underrated a bit here.

The exciting thing is that it seems like both his stock and Mukhamadullin's are on the rise this year, so while one was a late-1st and the other was a sort of unheralded centerpiece of a big deadline deal, they're right now looking better than those face-value classifications.

It's just crazy to think that the way the NHL works, the development that seems to be enhancing the progress of these two players isn't actually a byproduct of the Sharks (or Devils in the case of Muk), but instead assisted by a random Swedish club and a random Russian one.

 

[TheBeard]

Where’s Raska?

 

[Hodge]

Smith as well. With Meir on the team they finish higher and take someone else.

And likely another 1st coming next year.

 

[Juxtaposer]

And likely another 1st coming next year.

The more I think about it, the more I feel it’s practically an inevitability that New Jersey will make the ECF next year, barring a major choke job. Who in the East is better than NJ this year?

I’d feel a lot more confident if they land Hellebuyck or another upgrade in net but agreed, it’s gonna come down to them and Carolina in the east.
