I have not followed this year's draft like past drafts. What's the story on Eiserman's tumble?

One dimensional but it is a hell of a dimension.

For anyone watching U-18’s, any BA types you see? Just watched Finland vs US, the Emil Hemming kid looked good. Maybe not a Matikka or Jani Nyman winger, but looks like he is rated pretty high.
...with most of us predicting a forward last draft, I'm gonna guess Buium, unless if they finally win the lottery.Or Levshunov or Yakemchuk or Dickinson.
But probably not Buium or Parekh.

I don't know that Buium isn't a BA player. He's kind of like Cooley in that he plays big. And that's against NCAA competition

I kinda feel like we are going to be surprised this draft again. Like Catton will be our pick. Or we trade back with Calgary for 9 and 29. I think you could still get a great player a few spots back.
The only thing not surprising is us not winning the lottery again.

If Calgary is desperate for Iginla and we know it’s Iginla they want, that trade would make a ton of sense. Especially assuming Celebrini, Demidov and Lindstrom go top 8. If you add Iginla to that group of forwards then we know at least one of those top defensemen will be there at 9th.

Can't see him trading down for more picks. Only so many roster spots and I would think they are going to have a log jam eventually as it is.

The only reason I think he would do that is to package the #29 and 2 second round picks to get back to the early mid round like we did in 22' with Geekie. We traded the #27, 34 and 45 for #11. Getting 2 players in the top 13 of this draft would be great.
The only reason I could see us trading down is if a D is involved.

Imagining Silayev at 9th and Brandsegg-Nygard at 14th is pretty nice.
Adding Silayev or Dickinson will only make it bigger. I’m here for it!!

I’m trying to get caught up on the Saginaw/London super series. I’m half way through game three. Dickinson is so impressive. I was curious what it would look like when they weren’t just sweeping teams. I’d argue London and Saginaw are two of the three best teams in the OHL (along with Oshawa) and Dickinson still looks phenomenal. It’s a shame Parekh missed the first two games. I’m cheering for a London win so we can hopefully get a rematch on the Mem Cup.

Having Silayav, Lamareux, and Simashev on our defense would be fun to watch. Might as well add Dean Letourneau with our 2nd pick to go with But.

Say we win a lottery but it's for the 2nd pick instead of the 1st. Who would we be thinking to select 2OA in case that happens?

I would take Buium there. The consensus is Demidov. Not sure who BA & the Owskis would pick. Silayev or Levshunov maybe?
Silayev was #2 on McKenzie's mid-season ranking ie. the poll of actual NHL scouts. I think he could be a target.

And I think he had just about 0g and 0a since that list came out - lol. Maybe not exactly 0 but pretty darn close. I think he’s going to be closer to 10 than 2 when the update comes out Monday. Too many guys had huge 2nd halves.
I like the prospect a lot. I’ve got him 8th.

I double checked. He did have 0g 0a in the KHL regular season after the Jan 22nd list came out. In the POs he had 0g 2a in 5gp in the KHL and 0g 3a in 10gp in the MHL.
So that’s 26gp 0g 5a since the McKenzie mid-term. He’s not an offensive defenseman. That’s not his game. Not yet. He’s got potential. I like the kid enough to have him in my top ten ahead of a ton of really good prospects.
But I do think that big drop in production will knock him out of the 2 spot and probably out of the top 5 on the McKenzie lottery list.

Great highlights of Buium’s effective, hard nosed, rock solid defensive play and penalty killing in the 3rd period, defending a lead, against the top ranked team in the nation, full of elite offensive weapons, in the national championship game.

The success Buium had in the NCAA is ridiculous. Parehk had a record year offensively the OHL. The defenseman in this deep class are so good.
Utah is totally going offense... Lindstrom, Eiserman or Catton.

I’d rather have Iginla, or Bandsegg-Nygard, or even Beckett Sennecke over either of Eiserman or Catton.
