[Gecklund]

I like it for SJ. I think I’d rather Simashev than Halttunen but Grier might not.

 

[Grinner]

This Shark fan loves the Halttunen pick. Carlsson is the pick to make at #3

Well done

 

[MasterMatt25]

If I were a betting man, I'd predict Habs take one of the Americans like Moore or Leonard instead of Dvorsky but nice mock

 

[Gabrielor]

Buffalo is very happy with this result if they keep their pick

 

[NewEraGM]

This is going to sound bad but I won’t no business in Dvorsky or Sale. Europeans from Czechia and Slovakia are tricky sometimes. I’d stay away from those 2. If I’m habs, just pick 2 North American players and be done with it. Every time we pick a European with a high pick, it’s tricky (Galchenyuk, KK, Slafkovsky)

Just go with 2 of Barlow, Moore, Cristall, Yager and so on if we pick outside top 6

If I were a betting man, I'd predict Habs take one of the Americans like Moore or Leonard instead of Dvorsky but nice mock

I really hope so.

 

[Rooch]

I can't see Anaheim passing on Michkov for Smith, especially considering their strong center depth (Terry, McTavish, Lundestrom).

 

[koteka]

If Columbus gets Bedard, I see them grabbing Honzek or But if either is available. Having a big wing to eventually play with Bedard makes sense. if they draft Fantilli or Carlsson then Stenberg could be a possibility.
