I'm kinda amused that half this place was on the Michkov or Simashev train. 

Really curious is Axel Sandin Pellikka is the Sabres pick. That or Wood. I don't love either but I don't hate it. 

I'm hoping Willander drops.  ASP doesn't fit well in the org, there's no power play time available, smallish, meh defensively. I think it might be Moore.  The organization loves skating ability and hockey IQ and Moore is at the top of those lists.

It is if Putin "drafts" him next.

But they didn’t make the same comments for Simashev who has a KHL contract for the next two seasons. It’s the third season that makes the difference?

What Russian will the Redwings take here?

The draft is for grunts, not the elite.

I'd love to see us trade this pick for a proven guy to be honest.

They should trade it for Hellebuyck

Id rather have a guy with term then a 1 year starter. Trade next years 1st for Saros.

Michkov is the one with the KHL contract.

EDIT:  Now I see what you mean.  Dunno.

Simashev has one as well.

Sabres are going to get a really solid player

[Buffalonill]

I can not believe we're gonna keep this pic and not trade for help what a f****** joke

[bob_sauve28]

D-man might just fall to us? If that's what you want

[thewookie1]

I'm curious in what way would the board fall where we'd want to move down

Buchy thought Wood would be going to Detroit....guess he doesn't have Chris Berman's cab driver as a source.

[Thorner]

Benson in play maybe?

We have about 40 assets we can trade even if we make this pick

Unless he's at a seance he definitely doesn't.  That "cabby" passed on 20 years ago.
