If the Hawks take Dickinson at 2, Davidson should be fired. I get it if he's the best guy on the board at 4 if Levshunov and Demidov are gone. But adding another LD with a premium asset just seems like a redundant waste

Why does everyone have Catton falling so low? PHI needs a C for the future, NJD could just put him on the wing, CGY needs Cs, and MTL have also looked at him. I don’t get why he would fall.

Only 1 of Lindstrom or Iginla would fall past MTL @ 5, not both, if either are still available. Also don't see Demidov making it past 4 with that pick order.

I think Demidov slips to MTL, I truly believe the 3 teams right in front of them (at least in this scenario) would all go D. Demidov is the clear 2nd BPA in this draft, but that hasn't stopped teams from taking other guys in the past

I don't really agree with that, Demidov is better but with fairly limited experience and multiple DY injuries, and you could make a pretty fair case that Dickinson > Levshunov (I don't necessarily agree, but I wouldn't call that take outrageous). Given next years draft is forward heavy, if CHI likes a defenseman with that top pick I don't think that's a bad selection at all
