So which prospects will be up next year? I'm sure Nazar will be on the team. What about Rinzel or Moore? Rinzel and Moore will stay at Minny at least 1 more year. Nazar has looked pretty good but, no rush.

Del Mastro gets good reviews. Allan is ok. Dach has been out more than in I think.

Watched Nazar vs MSU. He had 2a,1 was a between the legs perfect 2 on 1 for a tap in. UM goes to Frozen Four 5-2.

Nazar is more like a middle six forward, I think. If he makes it to the next level. Maybe like Sam Bennett.

Latest on Levshunov is that he's like Noah Dobson. I'll take him...or Lindstrom....or Demidov...or...if no Celebrini...

Even Celebrini isn't the difference maker some expect. Of the recent #1 OA picks, he's much closer to the level of Lafreniere, Hischier or Slafkovsky than Matthews or Bedard. Or even Jack Hughes.

I'd be ok with Jack Hughes. But I think you're shorting Celebrini. He is familiar with all 200'. And more O than Toews.

Any F that can compliment Bedard's game is welcome...a Kane-Toews II dynamic would be just fine.
What are the odds the Hawks take a Defenseman? There are plenty near the top of the draft board. I know the Hawks have a bunch pencilled in for the future lineup already, but adding another one if he's "Can't Miss"...is that a thing?

Truth is, if no Celebrini, Lindstrom. On the other hand if in the 4-5 territory, Levshunov would be great. And that would toss Murphy, Zaitsev, etc. This is a 50 pt D man.

So much recent top draft capital spent on the blue line. I want a forward. Hopefully they aren't picking this high again for ten years.

Take the best player on the board. If that is defense, so be it. Half the current defense can be launched into the sun anyway.

Keep in mind that the Cup teams relied on 4 dmen. You get the defense right and that provides a lot of flexibility.
