and I forgot Struble on the left side
- Symba007

With the logjam on the left side, I'm almost surprised he decided to sign with us.

In an ideal world, yeah something like that.

Lots of things need to go right for it to happen and be viable though.

Still think Harris keeps one of those spots.

what's your dcore 3 years from now?

Guhle Hutson Wifi on the left?
Reinbacher Barron Mailloux on the right?
- fidopro

I think Barron will be moved in the next couple years. I see Wifi as the 7th D.

L: Guhle, Hutson and Engstrom (+wifi)
R: Rein, Mailloux and....

Perhaps. I really like his all-around game.

It's a good thing to know we have options and a strong internal competition.

He also seems like a smart kid, really good perspective.

I just found the other RHD

Artyom Levshunov

Belarus player, he was playing the USHL, expected to go NCAA, will go top 5 in the next draft. 17yrs old, 6'2" 200lbs.

From discussions during the NHL Draft, a few scouts said Levshunov would be the first defenseman taken in 2023 had he been available (October bday). That’s how confident some people are about the dominant USHL defenseman. He put up 42 points last year, which is remarkable for a Draft-1 defender. He’s an excellent two-way defenseman with good hands and hockey IQ. He’s a modern-day blueliner that can punish you both physically and on the scoresheet. NCAA schools are courting him for the 2023-24 season, which could spice things up.

Are you implying he's our next first round pick to get death threats because he's not a forward?

I also think Barron will be the one traded.

What's the old saying....you build from the backend....

and trade a few LHD for quality young forwards

or they draft Maxim Masse

Not worried... got 2-3 more years before serious decisions have to be made, and by then, we will know who the core players will be going forward.

also easier to move players if they perform well in the AHL, much more value then a kid doing well at the Jr or university level.

yep, and even more easier if they did well in the NHL, like Romanov did.

Why Makar? When Adam Fox is right there as the bullpoop over the top comparison?

Enstrom is signed until 2024 in Sweden...perfect timing for him to come over the AHL for 1 season

I was going to use Bobby Orr, better comparison IMO

They still do it on some lists, I've seen one posted on the Leafs thread.

We basically picked McDonagh at #5 instead of Kucherov.

Pietrangelo was just sitting there in the 20's too!!

I was told the Habs drafted a better version Roman Josi...since Reinbacher stats in the Swiss league are better than Josi at the same age.
