Prospect Info: 2024 18th Overall - Sacha Boisvert

[ChiHawks10]

Not who I would have taken, but I just watched highlights for 8 minutes... and his skating doesn't look bad by any means. A bit awkward at times(pretty common for taller players, especially a big kid going through a growth spurt), but calling it bad is comically stupid. There's literally nothing wrong that I can see, mechanically.

And every prospect profile I read on him says he's a strong skater.

There's literally nothing that I've seen that says he's a "bad skater" like some in here seem to think.

 

[Kevin Musto]

They had two firsts, took a safe pick with one, a high risk, high reward pick with another.

I dont mind it. Hope it pans out.

No reward with Boisvert.

Okay so what are his strength and weaknesses? Sounds like a actually physical Dylan Strome yet disliked by some why?

Zero consistency on a shift to shift basis.

Worthless off the puck. Completely unengaged.

On the puck, subpar playmaker.

Always attempts high level moves that he's never once been able to successfully pull off.

His overall skill level is that of a 3C at best, but he doesn't have any of the traits to play in a bottom 6 role. Doesn't grind, doesn't add energy, can't PK.

Bum.

 

[JaegerDice]

not

losing our crap because he didnt take guys I want..losing my crap because he traded picks to move up to get a guy who likely would have been there at 34 like most scouts had him rated. I wanted Demidov but am fine with Levshunov..Boisvert cant f***ing skate.

Skating is listed as a strength in pretty much every draft profile. What are you talking about?

 

[LavalPhantom]

Please someone describe what his ceiling would be like. I need something to rejoice.

 

[hawksrule]

Where’s he playing next year?

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

Gonna bookmark this thread then bump when this kid becomes the next Kesler.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Where’s he playing next year?

North Dakota.

he skates like a baby giraffe on ice

HOW THE f*** DO YOU SCOUT THE USHL AND COME AWAY THINKING THAT BOISVERT IS BETTER THAN EISERMAN, CONNELLY, HAGE, OR STIGA

YOU STUPID MOTHERf***ER

YOU STUPID f***

f***

ceiling is Kirby Dach

 

[ClydeLee]

Mmhmm point me in the direction of our forward prospects who can f***ing score. Because Davidson is apparently allergic to those. And they’re kind of important.

Isnt that exactly this kids strengths his shot and scoring with some size?

 

[JaegerDice]

2nd liner on a cup contender.

Which is pretty much the ceiling of every guy getting drafted in this range this year.

You need to smoke some weed. You're unhinged at this point.

Ryan Kesler.

Tough to play against, taking the other teams best match up and potting 20/25 goals a year.

A second line center and better then Nazar, Moore and the rest of the Hawks forward prospects.

Lol cope

Always funny when they don’t take who they should and people come out of the woodwork to defend it.

Don't see people defending the pick, just addressing things that look to be inaccurate.

Boisvert leaves me looking at a similar player to Toews when I watch his highlights. If he's even 75% of Toews, it's a win at #18.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Man, I don’t get this rage. Anyone taken mid-1st and beyond is a project, we won’t know what are good picks or not for another couple of years.

That being said, admittedly bad asset management to trade up only to take a guy that would’ve been available later. But if he turns out good, nobody’s going to complain.

personally i think it’s funnier when people get so upset over a draft pick they act like the gm just stole their catalytic converter.

 

[Kevin Musto]

ceiling is Kirby Dach

Boisvert isn't even half the player that Kirby Dach is

 

[Toews2Bickell]

personally i think it’s funnier when people get so upset over a draft pick they act like the gm just stole their catalytic converter.

they also gave up a 2nd round pick to do it...was anybody taking this guy at 18 or 19 if they just stood pat? never seen a guy move up a month from the draft just because when he has no idea how the board will fall

I’m all for getting upset, but this is embarrassing, man. Relax.

BUST

BUST

BUST

YOURE TELLING ME WE TRADED UP TO 18 FOR AN INCONSISTENT BUM THAT CAN'T SKATE

OVER EISERMAN OR HAGE OR ARTAMONOV OR CHERNYSHOV OR STIGA OR LITERALLY f***ING ANYONE ELSE

FIRE KYLE DAVIDSON

BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND

I love to dunk on Musto but sheesh this draft has the potential to blow up Davidson's legacy

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

The pick itself doesn’t bother me, but trading away a pick to get him seems a bit silly at this point.

 

[ndgt10]

Can someone explain why he traded up 2 months ago instead of tonight after seeing the way the draft was falling?

Couldn’t we say this about every draft? These kind of comments are so silly sometimes. Haha
