Muk-ah-doob-ah-lunNow we need to hear Dano try to say his name.
Now we need to hear Dano try to say his name.
There just doesn't seem to be enough evidence in how this scouting staff as drafted to suggest they panicked for the Russian.
I think he was just a kid high on their board.
Does anyone else feel like it's just not that hard a name to pronounce? Mook-ah-madillon. Yeah it's long and unusal, but the pronunciation seems pretty straightforward. Typing it is more of a pain, haha.

Dano would get winded just looking at his name
I really like our first round, really like it. Holtz is fantastic, fills a need by being a goal scoring winger but is also so much more than that - his playmaking is really underrated and he thinks the game well. I can't say enough how much I like the Holtz pick.
Mercer isn't a sexy pick but he's the type of guy you need in your lineup and that you can plug in various roles. And with Holtz, Foote, Bratt, Goose, and Palmieri we don't really need Mercer to be that top 6 guy, he can flourish in the middle 6 while chipping in offensively here and there, providing solid all around game.
Big Muk is a high risk, high reward guy. I'll admit I want to read and watch more of him first but from everything I have seen so far, he's a classic case of a guy having a lot of tools but will need to put them together. Good skater, great size, booming shot. Sounds like Gelinas but of course I'd hope he can be better defensively - or at least not look so helpless. I can see the notion of "we should've traded back and we still could've got him!" but also... could we really? There were a few "reaches" around that 20 spot, who's to say another team didn't have him high on their list too? If we did trade back, how far would've been okay to still be fine taking this guy and would those teams even want to trade up? It's a lot of ifs that people like to put on the table as if they're facts but it's impossible for us to know and baseless speculation. If they liked him enough to take him there and not risk missing out on him by trading back then so be it.
Gelinas was also a converted forward, while Mukhamadullin is known for his defensive abilities.It's worth noting that Gelinas played in the Q; a league not exactly renowned for defensive prowess. By contrast Mukhamadullinskiiovskyevitch (?!?!) plays in the KHL; a league known for not letting kids anywhere near a game roster unless they're really good.

My bets on "Shaq" and Muk"Now we need to hear Dano try to say his name.
My bets on "Shaq" and Muk"
Gonna guess mookieHockey has the most uncreative nicknames out of any sport
My bets on "Shaq" and Muk"
if they played this on the Jumbotron I would die happy"Muk doesn't mind mucking it up in the corners."

Did anyone watch this through to the end? Fitz confirmed that they tried to move up but couldn't make a deal. Hope we find out who they were trying to get.
I'm going to guess Quinn or Holloway. However Quinn got taken way ahead at 8th and probably Edmonton saw that Holloway was a perfect fit for their them.Did anyone watch this through to the end?

I am so sorry for STI having write up this stink fest. Honestly I wouldn't blame him if he just decided not to. What a f***ing nightmare.
