Buf has the best young d-core the top 4 is studded. Levshunov would be a waste, keep Kulich and hope you get a guy like Eiserman

But then how many forwards do you need? The above also keeps Rosen, Ostlund, Wahlberg in the pipeline. I feel to keep the Byram, Dahlin, and Power long term, Buf will NEED RHD on entry level contracts. Strbak and Levshunov coming up in 2-3 years would be the perfect timeline

ur prolly right being a bolts fan not used to having usable prospects in the pipeline lol, still think you can get a jiricek or dickinson in the draft that would be a better defensive fit than levshunov

If the Hawks don't take Levshunov at 2OA, Anaheim will most likely take him at 3OA. He never makes it to that CBJ pick.

And if neither pick him then jackets just pick him themselves

Not sure there’s anything in that package that entices the jackets. Kulich is really the only piece but the jackets pipeline is filled with smaller skilled wings

Idk if "selling high on Komarov" is including him in a package for Noah Cates lmao

I also don't really see the point in giving all that up to take Levshunov. The defensive prospects avaliable in the top 10ish are pretty close to each other. Could just stay at 11 & take who falls.

There is no way the Jackets trade that far back even if the situation happened.

The top 4 is all lefties, and the only defensive one is Samuelsson. Buffalo is crazy soft, and short on two way forwards- I'm hoping yakemchuk is there when the Sabres pick, if I'm moving up its for lindstrom.

If you're dying to have a RhD, wouldn't it be better to keep your assets and wait for Parekh or Yakemchuk or even Jiricek at #11? (My mock has you taking Yakemchuk there.)


Absolutely right.
