    Kids a giant. Has good feet. -18 in the KHL. I’ll take it.

  2. xGetSweatyx

    Hope for the best obviously but this should have been traded. We need help now, not in 3 years

  3. MartysBetter29

    Man I was really hoping we’d move the pick.

  4. Great pick. The devs are building one of the better d corps in the league.

  5. TheNightRain68

    Was hoping to trade the pick, but man…a 6’7″ defenseman. Dude was supposed to be higher. I’m pretty happy with the pick itself, just wonder what we do now

  6. Fake-Death

    Would’ve been happy with Buium or Silayev, that future pairing with Nemec is gonna be sick

  7. specifichero101

    Big defensive first guy. Not the type of pick that makes an immediate impact, but I’ll be interested to see him on the team in a couple years.

  8. NJDevs30

    There’s almost nothing on this guy on eliteprospects, but big defenseman who apparently doesn’t skate like an Eric Gelinas is promising

  9. Subject1337

    Kevin Bahl is dead, long live Kevin Bahl!

  10. Can’t believe we went defense again, but I’m not gonna complain about a giant Russian defenseman with good passing and shooting 😂 RIP casey, I guess?

  11. pooontangclan3

    I would think this pick makes Casey a big trade piece. We have other soft high end offensive d, we don’t have any projected shutdown giants

  12. Ok-Wrongdoer-9647

    I love this pick. Hes fantastic and he’s huge. I want him to come over before his contract ends but he’s probably not needed.. BTW Brendan Dillon at 3mil x 2 seems to make sense now since he’s got 2 years left in his deal.
    This is the future
    | Hughes-Nemec
    | Silayev-Casey
    | Whoever-Whoever

    Remember picks like this have landed us a Timo.

  14. guywithshades85

    I’m happy he fell to us. I was fearful that Philly was going to trade up to get him.

  15. themakiexperiment

    Anybody getting huge Muckamadullin vibes

  16. gothenburgpig

    So did we draft Tyler Myers or did we draft Zdeno Chara? Even Chara took years to develop.

  17. brokowska420

    Am I the only one that saw Bettman tell one of our owners to button his shirt.

  18. Seems like a project, but has the potential to become exactly the kind of dman we need. There’s a couple other guys that would’ve maybe felt like sexier picks, but Fitz drafted Muk when many at the draft seemingly hadn’t even heard of him and he became a very promising prospect. I’m okay trusting our KHL scouts here.

  19. Down_Rodeo_

    Such a stupid pick with the talent on the board. This guy is a dumber kevin bahl with the same lack of offense.

  20. devils26fan

    So we used our 10 overall draft pick for Kevin bahl 2.0

  21. blatkinsman

    I would have liked to have seen Zeev Buium. He was available.

  22. DookieShoes626

    Damn saw 6’7″ and got my hopes up for Satan jerseys.
    But this is an actually good pick instead, maybe Holtz can change his name to Satan to solidify a roster spot

  23. Cyanos54

    Feed him pork roll now. Pack on the muscle and prepare for a starting shift against the Rangers.

  24. sapphires_and_snark

    This kid scored more points in the KHL than any 17 year old, regardless of position. More than Tarasenko, Kuznetsov, and Kaprizov. And he’s defense first. What the hell is this kid
