<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Element23VM</b></div><div>Simishev is a lefty lol... what were they thinkin... and that's what'll screw our mock drafts over... you know one of these teams is gonna do something like that... "Utah is proud to select Teddy Stiga"... WHAAA?! I honestly thought they took him because of commodity value.

Crypes... I think if I were picking Mukhamadullin or Simishev, I'd take Mook. I guess they hope Simishev eats extremely important minutes.

Nabokov is extremely intriguing. You just wonder with Lou... he likes winners, and George winning both Hlinka Gretz and U18 is gonna catch his eye. But maybe he sees Nabokov winning Gagarin and says he wants that instead. The other two guys you named have a lot more to prove (playing in important games). Or maybe at this point, he's checked out, and his scout will just pick a guy like Sennecke.</div></div>

If Nabokov was 2” taller he would be top 10 but being 5’11/6’ as a goalie has become a death sentence in NHL scouting apparently. Personally think the sharks having another Nabokov in net would be awesome!
And you can’t ignor his stats in the KHL or from the (albeit limited) scouting we have available

Thread: Marner Waives To San Jose
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingExLeafs</b></div><div>I think getting the 1st overall pick was a game changer for San Jose and should open the door for big trades. Getting Celebrini a star like Marner to play with would be invaluable for his development.

And the pieces involved in this deal, apart from Musty, are really not that valuable in the long run. Edstrom projects to be a 3C, the Vegas 1st will be late, and Ferraro has his highest value right now so it'll be smart to trade him.</div></div>

Like I said the value is fair, but the whole reason you’re dumping Marner is the exact reason I think Grier passes.
While talented and amazing in the regular season he disappears in the playoffs and plays soft. Not qualities Grier is looking for.

And I feel the Vegas pick will be higher than you think, they are up against the cap older players with injury history and barely made the playoffs this year, think they have potential to wind up just outside the playoffs next year.
