Are Pronman's mocks typically reasonably accurate?The latest mock in The Athletic has Dickinson going 4th (they need D), and Demidov going to us at 5. I'd be happy with either.
Yes, but mostly his last mock. He nailed the top 5 last year.Are Pronman's mocks typically reasonably accurate?

There's a first time for most things.I don’t do road rage.
If there are top like forwards available and maybe Demidov if availableIt’s easier to find top pair defenders later in the draft than top line forwards.
you work from homeI don’t do road rage.

Blackhawks draft Ivan Demidov or Artyom Levshunov? Experts weigh inI wouldn’t (and don’t) rely on it but I find his rationale certainly plausible
It helps but it’s just not in my nature, even when I was driving in Montrealyou work from home
So all but one picked Demidov.Blackhawks draft Ivan Demidov or Artyom Levshunov? Experts weigh in

The Hawks will be drafting top 5 for years. They can get a D next year if they have to.So all but one picked Demidov.
I find it somewhat comical when people talk about Kane/Toews but forget to add: both Keith & Seabrook had just secured top-4 D roster spots on the Hawks, when Kane & Toews were just being drafted - Chi doesn’t have any projected top pairing Dman in their pipeline right now (Rinzel is a work in progress / TBD)So all but one picked Demidov.
Doesn’t matter, draft is all about trying to get probabilities on ones side, there’s lower probability that all projected D prospects this draft don’t pan out vs hoping to be in a position to land a top pairing Dman in forward heavy drafts of the future - I believe that to have been Habs position last draft (re: Redenbacher) HuGo didn’t expect to be drafting top-5 again & wouldn’t have w a healthy DachThe Hawks will be drafting top 5 for years. They can get a D next year if they have to.
When was the last draft that 5-7D all potential top 4 are there in the lottery ?Yeah there is always some D available in the top 5.
The D talent this year is incredible , solid draft for forwards next year with sizeThe Hawks will be drafting top 5 for years. They can get a D next year if they have to.
They won't. If he is there at 5 we take him. I think we will pass on Lindstrom given health concerns. Feels to much like a potential Dach situation.If they pass on Demidov I’m going to throw a fit. Skill wise it’s not even close to Lindstrom.
Never that many but generally there is 2-3 in the top ten.When was the last draft that 5-7D all potential top 4 are there in the lottery ?
