Forsberg's team Leksand doesnt play in the SEL this season but rather Allsvenskan which is tier 2.
They are however in the promotion/relegation-round called Kvalserien.
From what I've seen he is not ready for NHL in the fall.
Yakupov. I understand we need a center, but if Yakupov is available, heck you can't let him pass. He's clearly the best out there and we still would have 3 offensive centers in our lineup.
I will create the next poll tomorrow morning between 7:00AM-7:30AM ET. It works perfectly with my working schedule and each poll will run the same amount of time (24 hours). We still have two weeks of hockey left anyway, we are in no worry no finish this little project
1. Yakupov
2. Galchenyuk or Dumba
3. Dumba or Galchenyuk
4. Grigorenko or Forsberg
5. Murray or Trouba
I really think defense wins championships...and Dumba is my dman in this draft (never saw him play though!! based on everything I've read!, so...obviously I'll trust Timmins!). I like what I read about Murray but is he a #1? #2? or #3 dman?
To me, Dumba has that #1 dman potential that I like to read about (again from what I've read!). Tough as nails, offensive and defensive...sounds like another Subban (any chance you have to grab another Subban...you take it!).

I'd rather grab the next Neidermayer than the next Subban, and that's Murray. And I don't know if you know this, but I am the biggest Subban fanboy there is and I agree Dumba sounds a lot like him. I just wish he went by a different name... did his parents hate him or something? Dumba everywhere.

thats his last name...
and Niedermayer is a bigggggg stretch there

I didn't just make it up though, that's who his playing style is being compared to. And seeing as how we already have a subban, he would be the perfect partner for him.
It was tongue in cheek, relax, I know it's his last name.
If we had to pick a defenseman though it would be him, now doubt in my mind.
Murray-Subban
Tinordi-Beaulieu
He's the only defenseman I would tolerate drafting if Grigorenko and Galchenyuk are off the table.

Theres a difference between similar playing style and being a Niedermayer. Alot of guys compare Hedman to a Pronger type player, and that hasnt turned out too well

Really? Because I haven't heard those being mentioned at all.
