2018 World Juniors

One wonders how far Svechnikov will fall in the draft due to the Russian factor, he's coming off wrist surgery, so this tournament is his make or break, if he doesn't light it up, could fall quite a ways.

Considering how the Avs aren't tanking the way I would like, hopefully he drops a little, but I don't think he'll drop much, even considering the Russia factor, so we probably played our way out of getting him already.

Will be comfy as fuck when the dragon tongued fingolians smash that maple leaf up.

Yet another reason why the first game of the tourny is key, can't let the Yanks gloat.

Depends how the lottery plays out, but I think Brady Tkachuk is going 2nd behind Dahlin, then there's four more defenceman in the top ten, so I could certainly see Svechnikov dropping out of the top five.

That would be sweet, Svechnikov drops out of the top 5 and the Avs nab him, what a fucking steal that would be.

Imagine MacKinnon and Svechnikov on the same line.....

The Avs are within striking distance of the top three, barring a lottery win, I would be hoping for Tkachuk if I were the Avs.

MacKinnon, Rantanen and Tkachuk, Legion of Doom 2.0

I honestly would both with Svechnikov unless he dropped way down, like Liljegren did, the Russian factor is real.

Well if Tkachuk goes top two, then we have almost no chance at him, considering how terrible Arizona and Buffalo are, we'd need the hockey gods to do us a solid when it's lottery time.

The way the lottery has been playing out, I'd be nervous if I was a Buffalo fan, they only have a 12% chance of getting Tkachuk.

It's true the hockey gods do tend to hate Buffalo more than they hate Colorado when it comes to the draft lottery. Good thing Barrie got hurt, that'll help us tank a little.

Hot damn, Marsel Sholokhov, that was a pretty spinorama backhand finish. Klim Kostin looking good in the first, speaking of the Russian factor. 2-2 at the end of the period.

Svechnikov getting snubbed on PP time, and the Russian PP was lame in the first, coincidence? Silly ageophile coach, get your shit together.
