These pick swaps before the draft even starts is weird.

Yeah, especially if the guy(s) you targeted are already off the board.

And on a side note, this is why I NEVER bother with media mock drafts.  No one can possibly see deals like this coming.

I agree. I also think there's a very solid chance Demidov isn't picked second.

I'm starting to think Sennecke might be the Devils' guy. Dennehy (Devils chief of amateur scouting) was interviewed by Novo, and he raved about 3 players in the Devils' range: Dickinson, Brandsegg-Nygard, and Helenius. It just seems so odd to speak so highly about prospects ahead of the draft if you're truly considering them. Maybe Novo has a couple more articles coming out this week where he'll discuss other prospects with Dennehy. But you'd think if you really were interested in a prospect, you'd keep it quiet, or at least say the bare minimum.

If either of Demidov or more likely Silayev drop to 10 that would be ideal. If not, Sennecke would be the pick I’d be hoping for. I would be happy with a trade back for Brandsegg-Nygard or Solberg too, but a little less so.

I’m hoping one of the 3rd round picks goes towards Mikhail Yegorev, but Nabokov would be interesting especially if later than the 3rd.

Welcome! New members are tough to come by, so I hope you're here to stay. In addition to Demidov and Silayev, I could see any of Lindstrom, Buium, and Levshunov dropping to 10, which would be really awesome for the Devils. Should be an interesting night!

Fitz seems to really value compete level, so Brandsegg-Nygard would not surprise me tonight.

Isn't Helenius supposed to be pretty competitive as well? I've read some good things about him

Too bad that didn't exist on like 80% of the roster this season, hence why Fitz is seemingly opting for major surgery other than the 'everything was fine, just make a tweak here and there' approach.

Absolutely, would not be disappointed or surprised with that pick. He’s a center too, which is an organizational need (not much in the entire system now outside of Nico and Jack).

I think Fitz realizes the team lost some of the speed that made them so dangerous last season. Also that Blake Coleman factor/tenacity that makes a team tough to play against. I would not be surprised at all if the pick tonight is a prospect with those attributes. But who knows. Maybe a player like Catton has too much skill for them to pass on. Really will be a lot of options at 10.

Here we go!

Praying for Demidov to fall to 10.

Imagine Grier decides to help out the Hawks, and select someone other than Celebrini first.

Let the slide begin.
