This is not happening.  Top guys are all forwards 

its possible the first Dman doesn’t go until pick 20 

Corey Pronman has Him ranked Ninth Overall

 

9. David Reinbacher, D, Kloten (SWISS)

Oct. 25, 2004 | 6′ 2.0″ | 187 pounds | Shoots right

Tier: Projected bubble top and middle-of-the-lineup player

Analysis: Reinbacher is the latest product of the suddenly resurgent wave of Austrian talent and has quickly emerged as the best defense prospect in the 2022 draft. He’s been playing a real role in the top Switzerland league, albeit not on an overly strong club and producing a lot of offense versus men. He’s a mobile, 6-foot-2 right-shot defenseman who can contribute at both ends. Reinbacher’s gap control is strong, killing a lot of plays due to his feet and reach even if he’s not overly physical. He’s able to both skate and pass pucks up ice. His offensive touch isn’t elite, but he has creativity with the puck and makes good decisions. There’s a lot in his game that looks like a potential top-four defenseman in the NHL.

 

Costentino has him in the second round as does EP. 
 

It will be interesting to see what happens with Him. 
 

He probably would be ready for Rochester next season

Taking the timing of such a blockbuster out of the equation for a moment, if KA is going to spend important assets like our 1st in 2023 and or top prospects like Rosen or Östlund on a top player in his prime, where would you prefer he spend the assets on defense or goaltending and more specifically on Chychrun vs Demko?

https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/arizona-coyotes-set-high-price-for-jakob-chychrun-in-nhl-trade-1.1882610#:~:text=Chychrun had a career season,annual value of %244.6 million.

The alleged price for Chychrun  according to LeBrun is at least 3 pieces. Lindholm trade in 2022 as the reference of a 1st, 2 2nds and two other pieces.  Chychrun is signed for 2 additional season at 4.6 per year.  He is a physical 2 way D who has a career high of 40+ points.

Demko, currently injured, has struggled this season after two straight excellent years.  The Athletic sites NHL executives as saying the price will probably be a 2023 1st and a good prospect.

Unlikely. Still too early, gotta get to March or April but... 

Consolidated rankings have defenders at 12, 15, 26, 27, 29

Interestingly and also why you ignore rankings this early, Reinbacher isn't one of this 5 in the consolidated.

I think that market is pretty dry but if the Czech goalie in Arizona is available (no idea if they are) that would interest me. 

Vejmelka has played very well in the MMArena.  Interesting that the advanced stats say that wasn't some fluke.

Would not mind seeing the Sabres land him.

Adams needs to be on the phone tonight with ‘zona.   What will it take to bring Chrychrun with them after the game on Saturday 

Not I.  The price is way too high.  There is a reason no one has been seriously negotiating with Arizona for over a year.
