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

[keppel146]

Sick goal by zeev.

 

[DemidovSaveUs]

I think he picks his spots. He was noticeably un-risky during the WJC's since the US already had Hutson doing the hero ball thing from the back end.

I agree. I just see him take one or two risks a game that I know will make this regime pull their hair out. I am so excited for him though. I think he steps in and plays PP1 immediately next year and puts up 50 points. Wouldn’t suprise me if he broke the franchise record for points as a defenseman as a rookie. They’ll use him like Montreal uses Hutson, though I think Zeev is a more natural defender.

The kid just doesn’t lose big games. Flyers really should have drafted him and then offered Carle a blank check this spring

Minnesota will fix his inability to lose big games. Poor kid has no clue what he’s in for.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Took a knee-on-knee early in the game, but still playing. Will play the entire game against Perrault/Hagens/Leonard.

 

[AKL]

Buium won't get an assist on that play but he started the entire rush in the D zone with a nice hit so Denver could cleanly win possession

 

[AKL]

Buium assist

 

[Hockeyville USA]

He's incredible. Still cannot believe he fell to 12

 

[Circulartheory]

Stop winning and get in my belly (sign now...)

 

[AKL]

The salute to the BC bench after...this guy is my next Wild jersey

 

[57special]

Did not like the way Buium finished the game. He had the game in the bag if he chipped it over the blue line, but instead went for a ENG. If it had been icing he would've given BC another shot at tying it up. Selfish, and immature, as was his tacky mock salute to the BC bench after the goal.

Good luck to him if he tries that in the NHL. He'll get destroyed.

Destroyed by whom?

Counterpoint: he knew he'd score. Swagger. Confidence. Desire to win. Good attributes in a pro athlete. Plus, he has a relationship with those guys (Leonard, Perreault and Stiga). They've won together and they were punishing him all game. As cellies go, pretty mild stuff.

That's really digging deep to find something to complain about.

He's on top of his world right now, has been for over a year, and it's been earned. I like the confidence and swagger it's given him on the ice, and I hope some of it rubs off on some Wild teammates. The last time I saw any real swagger on this team was when Foligno superman punched Dillon. That was 3 years ago.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Has he been #28 everywhere? Ohgren has that now.

 

[f7ben]

I would be horrified if Buium made his nhl debut in the playoffs against the jets

 

[DemidovSaveUs]

Has he been #28 everywhere? Ohgren has that now.

You’d have to go back to the NTP where he was #40 (ew) and #12 (Boldy). 28 is a good number for him too it’s too bad Ohgren has it. A darkhorse number would be 8. It’s what his brother wears and close enough to 28.

I'm shocked.

 

[DANOZ28]

couldn't he pay him to give up #28?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

In theory, but that's usual done by vets that have made millions for years.

Really bummed about this because 28 is my number too, so it would have been perfect.
