Prospect Info: 2024 - #34 Overall - RD Dominik Badinka

[HisIceness]

I mean not to be captain obvious here but there's first rounders that don't make it as well. I'm sure we all remember Igor Knystev and Philip Paradis.

 

[NotOpie]

First, in my McKeens he's listed at 27.

Second, I'm trademarking Ba-Da Ba-Da Badinka!!!!

Out of all of the players the Canes picked, this is the one that I'm most excited about. The Canes have needed a spiritual successor to Pesce in our pipeline for a while, and while Chatfield certainly could be an excellent stopgap for us, Badinka is the first righty that we've drafted this high who can potentially fit that profile long-term (Legault may pull it off if all the stars align but it's FAR less likely). Morrow is more like our successor to Faulk/Hamilton/Burns.

I don’t see Chatfield as an “excellent” stopgap for a team with cup aspirations. In fairness though, he’s far surpassed my expectations to date. Skating is his biggest strength, but Pesce’s was how quickly he processed the game and his positioning, particularly winning board battles. I don’t see that with Chatfield.

Nikishin?

Shoots left

9% chance of becoming an NHLer?

Not sure where you’re getting this exact figure of 9% but do you really think anyone can project a teenagers likelihood of making the nhl that accurately?

The percentage of second rounders who make the nhl is not that much higher, anyway.

JFresh was 9%.

 

[Eye of Ra]

reminds me of Ekholm

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

JFresh was 9%.

The idea that anyone even bothers to try to predict an 18 year olds likelihood of making the nhl to this degreee of accuracy is hilarious to me.

Don't disagree but that's what recruiting services do....I suspect they get more right then wrong but clearly time will tell on all our picks.

FWIW: if you don't agree with the bad then you shouldn't ring the bell when someone provides a good one either.

Uhh, thanks for the advice, I guess?

Surprising we moved down and took another D when Emery was available

I suspect they liked the chance to draft Badinka and Artamonov more than they liked Emory. No guarantee those 2 would be there, but players of their caliber would be.

With all the Timothy Chalamet comparisons about him from our fans, this one has marketing potential. He may replace Brady for best hair.

This guy will either turn into a college hockey player from the 80s, or will go on tour with Journey. E5.

This draft could end up being really good to us.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Meh, Badinka felt like a boring pick from the moment he was taken IMO. I hope he ends up being good of course, but similar vibes to when we took Gleb instead of Lane Hutson, it was like “well that wasn’t a pick that maximizes fun value.”

Possibly, but I'm a fan of Kol, and Arty is off to a hot start and will be Kucherov 2.0 or we riot, and it seems like Porier is also heating up.

I'm probably more optimistic than I should be. That said, it's a lot more fun keeping tabs on these guys than when we all knew most of our picks were at best going to develop into journeymen.

Yeah, in the same way Slavin is boring, I'm right there with ya.

I love watching Slavin.
