Well, on May 6th or 7th will find out what spot. Jets vs Aves, i think it is, assume Aves will be favored?

End of 2nd, Arizona up 2-1. Can they, will they?

1-1 mid 2nd.

Maybe a Struble-like underrated physical guy, i guess is hope. We shall see how he does in Laval next season with Reinbacher, Hutson, Mesar, Beck...

Arizona up 1-0 mid-1st over Oilers... come on hang on!

Beck 0pts 3 shots 7/16 in 4-0 loss. Series is 2-2. Mesar is down 3-0 in series vs London. His junior career could be over tomorrow. Might he play in the world championships or Laval if they sneek into playoffs?

Great to hear Roy is back playing again. Reinbacher 2g2a in 10 games so far.

Just asking your opinion, not saying good/bad. I am predicting a trade of that pick, but only going on Hughes 1st 2 draft dealings thats all. He said he did try and trade up the 1st year but no takers, so seems pretty likely he will be again be trying to swing some kind of deal(s) in 2 months.

Slaf also wasnt playing 1st line (or even top 6) minutes, or with the best linemates early on.

You dont think Hughes wants a young NHLer; like Newhook-Dach and not another prospect?

Oh well, now can Arizona beat the Oilers today?

A good sign to do it, bit stability i suppose and get any speculation out of way. I dont have any big complaints about his coaching so far, giving Hutson & Mailloux so much icetime was unexpected but i liked it.

From what have heard, seems Dadinov/Lindstrom also have intriguing descriptions and Lindstrom just seems like a Hughes pick, if picking 2nd. Projection and Comparison "The talent of Demidov is impossible to deny. His raw skills might be the best in terms of offense in the entire draft. His puckhandling, shot, passing, and even skating makes him a unique hockey player and prospect. There are many great offensive players, but not many quite like Demidov. ... he could easily be a point per game player in the NHL on most teams first line."
