Prospect Info: 12th Overall 2024 Draft, LHD Zeev Buium

[AKL]

I don’t know about you guys, but I like the winter months. Hockey season.

Only thing better than going to a hockey game is leaving the hockey game and it's still 60 degrees outside

When Brodin started out in his career he played right to Suter's left and played well. In fact he played on the right side a lot. With Klefbom I believed he also played right. So what about...

Middleton - Faber
Buium - Brodin
Chisholm/Hunt - Spurgeon

Brodin has always been significantly better on the left side than the right. As he ages, we want him where he will be at his best, not someone who will become more and more of a liability because he's playing his off side.

 

[MNRube]

I think Buium will slide in on the 3rd pair across from Bogosian this spring. Then next year, you put him with Faber or Spurgeon. I think Faber makes more sense, personally.

Don’t agree with that, but I also view anyone that lives in California, New York, Florida or Texas as having some sort of wealth. I wouldn’t live in any of these states for various reasons (polarizing, cost of living, taxes, creepy crawlies, too much warm weather, alligators, etc etc).

I don’t know about you guys, but I like the winter months. Hockey season. Snow. Cold weather. Love a Wisconsin winter. I’ve lived in Indiana and New Mexico too. It’s just not the same. Give me Wisconsin every time. Minnesota would be my second best state to live in. I couldn’t live in any other area of the country.

This is a strange perception to me. I've been broke and lived in both New York and Florida and the QoL and CoL was so much better than what it is in Madison. The CoL in those places was pretty comparable to living in Eau Claire.

MN gets that too, for 2 weeks in Oct and 1 week in April/May.

I don’t live in Madison, but I can say life in a smaller city isn’t too bad in Wisconsin.

The reason I wouldn’t live in New York has to do with my experience going to Manhattan in 2011 and then again in 2023. It was dramatically worse 12 years later.

We just moved from the Twin Cities to Minocqua, WI.....love it up here, despite all the Packer fans.

Just means you need to hyper represent the purple at every opportunity. Get that Vikings flag flying outside your house!

We got invited to a neighborhood cook out this summer and I brought my Vikings cornhole boards. Caught quite a bit of grief from the other guys (all in good fun).

There are also a lot of Illinois transplants up here, so a surprising number of Bears fans also.

Amateurs, he needs to paint his house purple and give it big horns.

Then it would be called the horny house. All it needs is some upside pineapples outside as decorations.

What’s the over/under on points for Zeev against Wisco this weekend? 2.5? 3.5?

Are you adding those or multiplying them?

Buium was not noticeable in a positive manner outside of running the power play. He had the turnover on Wisconsin's first goal. Secondary assist on Denver's second goal.

Bust. Trade him.

Couple of secondary assists on the power play tonight.

As I posted in the Middleton thread (damned thread drift), I haven't watched a Denver game, but lots of highlights. What I've seen of Buium has been pretty impressive to me.
The guy can really skate, and looks to have great hockey sense. He hasn't racked up points on said highlights, but he is often on the ice to congratulate the scorer, and often contributes to the play.

I think Brodin, Buium, Middleton is an extremely solid LHD trio. Buium will be huge for the PP2. Either by adding better movement or by dropping Faber down to that unit.
