My belief is that one of Lindstrom, Parekh, or Yakemchuk will be available at pick 9. I am good with any of these three. If all three are gone, I would also be happy with Dickinson, Buium, or Silayev. Other than Celebrini, the only two who would certainly be gone are Levshunov and Demidov. Are we really sure either would be better long term than the names listed above? The draft is a crapshoot....we can't be sure of anything other than some picks live up to their billing, and some don't. All we can do is assess the available information and hope our picks don't disappoint.

Habs just traded traded pick 26, 57, and 198 for pick 21 from LA. Maybe they’re making a pitch to move up from 5? Even Anaheim may move down 2 slots to get the extra first rounder. We’ll see soon enough!!!

lol... Lazerus with an article this morning saying the 'hawks owe it to Bedard to draft Demidov. we will find out if they agree in about 10.5 hours. The hawks owe it to Bedard to surround him with the best "team" possible. Superstar forwards look great but they do not win championships by themselves. Toronto and Edmonton are perfect examples of this. Without playing in internationation tournaments there is no way of actually judging if Demidov is one of the best or just the best of the rest. To me the best player available is the player with the fewest unanswered questions.

I’m hoping they take Demidov. With the team improving I just don’t think we will be in draft position for a long time to get this type player if we pass on him. The thought of him and Bedard on the PP excites me.

We’ll see soon enough!!! Let's say that Montreal rumour from a few weeks back is accurate. The Hawks trade the 2nd pick to Montreal for the 5th, the 21st and a prospect. I think this would be an exceptional return, even if the Hawks have to add a bit. Now Davidson is set to grab the 2nd line power centre Lindstrom with pick 5. They trade up a few spots from pick 18 to draft a top four right shot defenceman Yakemchuk or keep the pick and take Jiiricek. With pick 21, they select a power winger in Boisvert or Greentree. With pick 34, they select 3rd line centre Letourneau. This scenario is not that far-fetched. Now the team has a real balance of different types of prospects all with future spots available to them. Add these picks to what's already in the system. There are scorers/playmakers, checkers, physical players, defensive specialists, great skaters. Most importantly, they now have real depth at centre, the power winger position and on both sides of the defence. The rebuild is basically over.

KD doesn’t seem like the guy to think outside the box he likes to play it safe, I am not stating the Hawks take the defencemen at 2, but that would be the type of safe choice KD would make. I think there is more pressure on him then it seems, the Hawks are in the Winter Classic again, Bedard is in his sophomore year, eyes will be on this franchise and KD needs to start showing results. Demidov to me would be a great pick, but nothing is gauranteed, hence why I wouldn’t be surprised with the safe pick.
