I just love how Graf supposedly preferred EC teams and then picks a team on the Pacific coast lol. Shows how little value most rumors are.

The draft could go anyway: this is the way I see them selecting based off position.

1st) Celebrini (Obviously)
2nd) Demidov
3rd) Levshunov
4th) Eiserman
5th) Silayev

If they get 1st, the only choice is Celebrini.
If they get second, they should take the Russian Talent that can Rival Celebrini (Might be better than Michkov honestly)
If they get third, they should focus on taking an Elite RD
If they get 4th, they should focus on building up their Right Wing depth with scoring
If they get 5th take the best player on the board and don't worry about where they play

I'd much rather draft guys like Parekh and Buium over Yakemchuk

they won't be available at 11-15

lol very true statement there

True statement, but to be fair … how many young players would choose to go to San Jose and lose badly for their first 1/2 decade in the league barring ping pong luck
