Thank you so much for pulling this through! Regardless of personal bias – seeing perspectives from professional scouts is great. I also have EP so if anyone else is curious on individual prospect blurbs or rankings I’m happy to help as well!

fuck it, I just say we trade Reichel, Allan, Rinzel, and #18 to Anaheim for #3 and just draft both. 🤷🏻♂️

Just another plug – Demidov was ranked as the #1 offensive forward and the #2 transitional forward!

Their NHL comparison for Demidov:
“Kirill Kaprizov, cap hit $9 million
Life is funny.
When Carolina selected defenseman Noah Hanifin with the fifth overall pick out of Boston College, it was viewed as a great pick. Hanifin had all the make-up to be a top blue liner in the NHL for years to come, and, for a Hurricanes team that was building, it made sense since every team needs a great defensive backbone. What’s more amusing is they drafted forward Sebastian Aho in the second round of the 2015 Draft, 35th overall.
Hanifin was eventually traded to Calgary with Elias Lindholm for Dougie Hamilton, Micheal Ferland, and the rights to defenseman Adam Fox, a deal that in retrospect is a blockbuster and a half. Hanifin has been solid in Calgary and Lindholm has been outstanding there. Hamilton was great in Carolina for three seasons before winding up in New Jersey and Ferland went on Vancouver after a decent season with the Hurricanes. Fox went on to sign with the New York Rangers as a free agent and won the Norris Trophy in 2021.
That trade had a massive impact on multiple teams, but arguably the least impact came with Carolina. That won’t be the case this time around because highlight-reel forward Kirill Kaprizov will alter everyone’s future by going to Carolina.
Kaprizov took years to come to the NHL, but when he arrived in Minnesota, he lived up to every bit of hype attached to him and turned into a monster offensive producer with the Wild. The thought of « Kirill the Thrill » playing in Rod Brind’Amour’s system in Carolina is tingle-inducing. His electric play and elite skill in Carolina’s shoot first, ask questions later system makes our heads spin collectively.”
