GDT: 2024 Draft Discussion

[Steve Yzerlland]

Another goalie... I wonder if he can score.

 

[Holden Caufield]

Landon Miller. Back up goalie for Sault Ste. Marie.

He won at a great clip. But he was playing in front of a juggernaut defense and probably the 3rd best team in the OHL.

Underlying stats were meh. Don’t think we needed another goalie.

 

[Realgud]

Would have loved Siryatsky and Patterson (both in my top 50). Big fan of these players and they go back to back before our pick

How dare you disagree with Lord Yzerman? Lol

 

[Holden Caufield]

No, I'm saying raving about a 3rd rounder being pro ready is odd considering he's older than a kid we drafted two years ago. That's dislocating your shoulder levels of self back-slapping...

Anytime you get an opportunity to draft a forward that has already been passed over in 2 draft. Scores 30 points in his draft +1 year and then was completely carried to statistical relevance by his linemates as a double overager… you have to pull the trigger.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

At least our next pick isn't a full round away.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

At least our next pick isn't a full round away.

What number is it? Nm 144. I hope it's a Russian or a sleeper from Europe...

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

What number is it?

144

 

[wingerdinger]

bit of a gut check when Hagen Burrows and simon zether get picked after some random goalie pick.

Hagen Burrows was my sleeper pick.

 

[datsyukfan]

Has the zetterberg kid went yet

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Has the zetterberg kid went yet

Nope.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

How many of our picks were ranked in the top 100 on average?

I see only 1 so far...is that right?

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Why does it feel like the Red Wings only trust their internal brass? So many times we go completely left from the status quo and draft rankings. Considering we haven't hit on any of these picks yet since Yzerman has been here I would like to take a consensus BPA once in a while...

Max Plante was rated in the top 50 by some places

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Detroit takes John Whipple at #144. I assume he's really good at Whipple ball.

 

[Hughes Hefner]

Detroit takes John Whipple at #144

Don't squeeze the charmin...

 

[ZDH]

Doesn't sound very Russian...

 

[Realgud]

John Whipple is a good pick imo. Used to be in my top 100 but eventually ended up in my HMs. Good skater, physical, decent puck skills, decently smart but "only" 6'1.

 

[Dotter]

This is a draft where I expect only one player to make the NHL and that's MBN. I don't think there's any real later round talent in this draft to ever sniff the NHL.

 

[wingerdinger]

When can Yzerman fire Draper, how many drafts does it take to say sorry we want to try something different.

 

[Hughes Hefner]

For a team that really never drafted kids from the ntpd they have really made up for it the last couple of years

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Max Plante was rated in the top 50 by some places

Ok...i haven't seen any where he is a consensus top 100 prospect...we just seem to be reaching

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Picks remaining for Detroit: 176, 203, and 208.

 

[wingerdinger]

Toronto with a really good value pick with Holinka.

 

[DoMakc]

I don't know what kind of stupidity takes it for same people to post about great rankings of Red Wings prospects and about firing Draper after he didn't pick their 45th ranked prospect in the 4th round.
