    2019 Draft

    you forgot to mention that Seider played 5 games at the WC against NHLers and played real strong. Stayed very calm, very good decision making and awareness, hard to get off the puck. The first 18 year old d-man to score two goals at a WC in more than 40 years. He is a down to earth guy, knowing about his strenghts and weaknesses.

    2019 Draft

    Hughes and Kakko will go 1-2 - 100%. Byram and Turcotte will go top 5 - 95%. That other top 5 pick could be any number of guys, but I think it will end up being one of Dach or Cozens. There's a reasonably high chance that Zegras could be available at 6, and if he is, I think he will be Yzerman's pick. A lot of people seem to think that Zegras could have the most raw skill in the draft outside of Hughes. Could end up being a huge steal at 6 if he's available there...

    2019 Draft

    Dman. Just turned 18. 6'4", 207 lbs. Shoots right. Spent his draft year playing in a men's pro league at 17 years old. Finished the season playing top 4 minutes. Won the league championship with that team (5 assists in 14 playoff games) Captained the German world junior team at 17 in a tourney for 19 year olds, where they earned advancement to the main group next year (1 goal and 5 assists in 5 WJ games). Named the best Dman of the tournament. Plays in all situations No weaknesses, but lacks elite level skill Praised for poise and veteran style play Like Pietrangelo, big mobile and smart Sign me up. I'm a Seider guy. Could be argued Seider is the best dman in the draft not named Bowen Byram. Broberg has the elite level skill that Seider doesn't have, but Broberg also disappears for long stretches and makes serious defensive lapses. Seider might lowkey be one of the most NHL ready prospects as well. If Yzerman wants a D... 1. Byram 2. Seider 3. Broberg 4. York 5. Soderstrom

    "The Russian 5" Documentary

    So I got it on VUDU, was $4.00 for a 24 hour rental, or $10.00 to own it. I just decided to buy it, as I will probably watch again. Definitely more interviews and story telling than actual hockey. Was kinda hoping for more Russian 5 highlights personally, but it was still good all the same. Like others have said, it's something you can watch with the wife, girlfriend, side-chick, and they probably won't get bored. Anybody else low key get the impression that Kozlov is a total bad ass? Also interesting to hear how excited Vladdy was to defect. Like Fedorov seemed more cautious about it, but Vladdy deep down just wanted the hell out. Jim Devellano also is not a real person. It is reveled after the credits that he passed in 1996 and the Wings replaced him with an animatronic robot. He operates much like an Amazon Alexa or Apple Siri, except he can only parrot information about hockey and ruin thanksgiving.

    These were my first two thoughts almost immediately. Wouldn't mind trading back into the first if he goes on a Veleno type slide.

    "The Russian 5" Documentary

    Bought it off Amazon Prime and think it was worth the $$ Watched it with GF and though she is not a huge fan(YET). She thought it was a pretty cool movie. Some of the cartoon things reminded me of the Sin City movie. But when Slava talked about man tears over Vladdy........ Was cool and weird seeing Dave Strader and Brian Murray talking about the Wings. Too bad the movie folks didn't get a chance to include an interview with Mr I. Jimmy D was like your old uncle telling the story
