MUCH better defensively !!! (Reinbacher)

They talk about prospects. If they think they should go lower than what they are projected to go… Of course you have to mention negative points, of why that is. L take from you on that one.

Parekh has way more offensive upside. His IQ is gamebreaking. He has defensive lapse mainly because he gets stripped of the puck due to being to lanky . When this kid add up a few pounds of muscle he’s going to be a problem.

Much appreciated, thanks for tuning in!

If anything, I’d say Grant is not into conspiracy theories ENOUGH 😂🤷‍♂️ Grant is amazing. So are Rocco & Shayne. They talk about prospects. If they think they should go lower than what they are projected to go… Of course you have to mention negative points, of why that is. L take from you on that one.

He's a star in the making, IMO

YEGOR SURIN 26. Ryder Ritchie 27. Alfons Freij Notes : -Connelly & Eiserman on a “No Draft” list for me -Levshunov I think is a future Phillip Broberg type of bust / disappointment -Silayev & Helenius are future disappointments for the teams that will be picking them imo. NOT because they will be bad players, but because I don’t see them becoming worthy of the high high picks they will be taken at. In other words, I don’t see them over-achieving vis-a-vis their selection rank, I actually see them UNDER-achieving their draft selection rank

We have the same Top 5, although in slightly different order. This class is wide open, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. At quick glance I think you have Yakemchuk and Dickinson a bit low, and Mews as your most "too high". I have time for Levshunov and Silayev as prospects, they're both going to play in the league, I just think you're leaving a lot of upside on the board with them in the Top 5. Anywhere outside the Top 5 if you get a sure-thing D with size who will play in the league it's never a "bad" pick. Conservative pick, yes, but bad, no. My thoughts on Eiserman I've been pretty open about, I don't want to sound like I'm always shitting on the kid. He's talented as hell and if he changes his game a bit he could make me look awfully silly for doubting the talent.

😂 I was pretty pleased with myself there for sure

Not if he's 21....ha ha

No one is gonna trade an unprotected 1st rounder 2 years in advance In a draft with a GENERATIONAL player like Gavin McKenna lmao

@@moviestoshare813 Unless they don't plan on tanking in two years.🤔

Here's hoping he's available at #18.

Highlights are much like statistics in that way. They can certainly be used in different ways to try and prove different points. Unfortunately, in a one hour episode we only have so much time to work with, so highlights is what we have to rely on. That said, if you've seen full games (or other highlights) that might combat the points we made, I'm always up for a healthy debate, provided you took the time to watch the full games like we did. All that said, your original point is for sure true, but we do try our best to paint as accurate a picture as we can. Thanks for watching!

Man, that was some nightmarish highlights from Levshunov! I hope that his good highlights makes up for it. His skating is super slow. He's not doing it on purpose but he makes it look like he is over-handling the puck when he loses it like that or when he can't recover an easy puck. That makes him look clumsy! Before seeing him play, (going only with his age, size, height and stats), I thought he wouldn't "survive" the top 4, meaning he wouldn't be available for MTL. I was imagining him as a responsible D who could put points on the board. Now, I am not entirely sure. Those highlights sort of convinced me that he isn't worthy to be in the top 5 at all, but you are 100% correct that segments can portray only a fraction of one side of the coin sort of speak. Surely, there's more to his hockey than just that because what I just saw with those highlights makes it hard to believe that kid (Levshunov) is in the top 6 best D's and one of the best of this year's draft and if he is then it makes the whole draft look weak.

Predictions make for entertaining debate and discussion, which is what we hope to provide each week. We will almost certainly be wrong, and that's okay, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Hawks have up their sleeve!

Yeahhhh… Because these things NEVER happened, am I right ? Mikahil Grigorenko… does that ring a bell ????

You DO know… you don’t have to watch the channel, right ??? Keep the hate to yourself, and go find other channels if you dislike this one

@@moviestoshare813this guy have a platform to put his strange ideas, I have the rights to counter them. Thanks for that suggestion. 👍🏻

Go cry somewhere else

Respecfully disagree. Last year would be Nate Danielson imo. This year 100% Levshunov. And then : Silayev, Helenius & MBN

Too many back issues for such a young kid... as a chiropractor... that scares me away from Lindstrom.

Agreed!

The other day, a Chicago podcast was talking with an expert who actually talked with Lindstrom on the phone. Lindstrom admitted to him that he's still slowly getting back from that injury. Awfully scary for a big guy who throws himself around like Cayden.

I agree, but Bedard is built like a fire hydrant and has the work ethic to get better at D. Nazar actually showed in the few games he played, that he's a willing defender. You're right though, Hawks desperately need a power forward with some skill. Demidov was listed at 5'11"? Who knows. You look at the Lightning, they make it happen with Point and Kucherov on the same line. I'm just wishful thinking.😆
