Anyone but Demidov will be a disappointment to me. Top tier skill + top tier motor? Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.

left handed, we already have a good group of LHD, could use a good RHD or a demidov more than Buium imo

I think he’d be a reach at #3.

Im fine with anyone we pick. Read into it all you want, no one knows who the ducks are taking. But taking the best defensman available is a good idea especially if hes right handed. Cali born is a plus too

I wouldn’t be mad but I would be disappointed but we all have our guys. Cole Eiserman was my guy at the start of the year and I know he’s tumbled down draft boards but an elite goal scoring wing is something this team doesn’t have and I feel Eiserman can be that, no shot he falls to the Oilers pick but I can dream.

I really like buium. Think he’ll have a nice nhl career
Not at 3rd tho

The rankings are literally all over the place after celebrini. If madden & co see something in him that warrants top three you have to trust the process with the track record our scouting team have had. The last three top first rounders have all been hits (McT, Minty, Leo)

Yeah I think it’ll be him or Dickinson.

I have Demidov, Levshunov, Silayev ahead of him personally, and I just don’t think Buium fits the “Verbeek mold” as far as we’ve seen it thus far, to take him ahead of some of the equally skilled, larger players, Demidov is smaller but I think he’s just so head and shoulders above every other forward not named Celebrini that his size is irrelevant.

Maybe Ducks trade down to get Buium?
