Had me until I saw Boris Yakimov and the suggestion that Draisaitl should play wing with RNH and Eberle.

 

[TheBusDriver]

Boris Yakimov, LOL

 

[Seachd]

Two second round picks for Malcolm Subban? Ugh...

Also just curious about all these Yakupov-for-dman rumors that you mention. What are they and where did they come from?

Other than that, I don't see a whole lot on the draft, but the possibilities seem at least realistic I guess.

BOGDON or David Musik at 5

either way--we should should get comp for idiot who waste our time

I love this idea. I don't get why every wants Drai to waste away as the 3rd line Center, he is just too gifted for that. Let him play wing for a year or two, he can always go back to C. I think he would be deadly on a line like that. Also it then leaves Hall-McDavid-Yaks as another line.

Boris is going to be a stud.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Musil is our 5th best prospect?

Eeesh.

Drai, Nurse (8 is too low IMO) Yak2, Slepy, Brossoit is my top 5.

 

[HeavyHitter99]

Meh lots of mistakes and things that don't make sense.

Edit: the comments are pretty funny at the bottom too. I'm sorry but "Joe" doesn't know ****

You don't want to know what I think

I want him to become an elite C, I don't really subscribe to the theory that you can simply play a guy on the wing then move him to centre and he will automatically pick the position up. He's built to be a C, and if that is the case I want him to learn to be an elite C at the pro level even if it means Bakersfield to start.
