I have news for you, he’s not making it past 3rd

Leo Carlsson isn't making it to 5th overall.

And Josh Freaking Anderson and a pick that's heading for 27th overall isn't getting Alexander Holtz either.

I think the Habs will take Michkov. Just a gut feeling.

He’s def making it to the Habs because, you know, that’s what the league wants. Everything is rigged - Chicago #1…c’mon. I’m going to take my tin foil hat off now.

canucks decline

Lekkerimaki is by far the Canucks best propect, since Jim Benning isnt their GM anymore, they wont give him away to dump one years of Tyler Myers. I could see them doing it to get rid of OEL but are you surre you want to take on that?

Lekkerimaki had an underwheelming season but was great in the playoffs.

hope so

Send Anderson deal to Arizona, Chicago…or any rebuilding team

Makes a ton more sense for San Jose. Habs have had bad luck on Russians. All but Kovalev seem to get dumped out of town. San Jose has more time to wait for Michkov.

Canucks not doing that. Yikes

Hawks decline

Canucks easily decline. Not giving up our best prospect just to get out from 1 year of Myers. Carlsson also won't be available at 5, it will be:

1. Bedard
2. Fantilli
3. Carlsson
4. Michkov/Smith/Benson (Talent wise Michkov is by far the best available but there's a lot of uncertainty with him, so he could fall leaving one of Smith or Benson to go here)
5. Either Michkov falls and you get to pick between him and the remainder of Smith/Benson, or Michkov goes 4 and you pick Smith or Benson (whoever you like better)

If MTL could get Holtz, straight-up, for Anderson, the trade probably would've been done already.
