The Shark Tank 🦈

The Russian prospect is the best since Ovie and Malkin tho.

I doubt we are gonna be good anytime soon, so do we wait?

Should we actually tank and keep getting top picks.

If he's THAT good, how is he even gonna make it to #4?

He's the best Russian prospect since those two I should say, not overall.

the top two are straight forward, it just depends on what Columbus wants to do.

we'll have a solid prospect for sure, but do we go for a chance at a generational prospect?

Yeah..but could you buy out his contact or something?

And in regards to those guys, Dmax, yeah I'm with ads, I'm OK with the other guys but not sure I want to wait 4 years for the other kid to be able to play. Sounds like Grier personally knows Smith. How much you wanna bet he's the guy?

Review of him:



I like it. Looks like a baby Pavelski.

Man the more I watch that video, the more impressed I am. Smith is a phenomenal prospect. Looks like a better skater, passer, and defender than Michkov on tape but granted, I'll admit that's most likely because it's against USHL competition and not KHL.

Michkov does have a wicked shot, that's for sure, and his accuracy under pressure is impressive.

Smith is only behind bedard in scoring
Kid can light the lamp....We just can't miss on this pick

And we pretty much helped them winning the cup gifting them Adin Hill. Funny how goalies need a good d in front of them because over here he was bad with our s**t d in front. Insane all the runs the Sharks have made in the 00's and 10's and Vegas is going to get a cup 1st

Michkov is probably the better talent and he plays with grown ass men in the 2nd best league in the world but no way in hell is Grier going to take that chance. Add the fact Smith is a Boston kid so I expect him to be the pick even when me personally would prefer Michkov even if the wait is 3 years and by then when he comes over he can be surrounded with other top 5 picks that were most likely getting because this team isn't going to be any better
It's a sad day for hockey.

Hopefully we can make a big EK65 trade on draft night!
We got a new goalie, for just the cost of a 6th rounder. MacKenzie Blackwood from NJ. I guess this means Reimer will test FA.
