GDT: 2024 Draft Discussion

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Id rather have Iginla

Iginla will be a Flames nepo pick. Theyre going to pick between 13 and 18. Iginla should be around thereabouts.

 

[NickH8]

I need to start watching some prospects. Who are some mean physical forwards that can score? I think we need that badly.

Think that Miroslav Satan's son is.

And he is 6'7 monster.

The MBN

He has snarl

 

[RedHawkDown]

MBN will go top 10-12, we will not be in a position to draft him unless we collapse. He's Kasper with more offense.

Kasper is a significantly faster skater, imo.

 

[lilidk]

Listening Tony Ferrari got impression 2024 draft going to be weak.
Wonder if Edvinsson was drafted this year, he probably went second

 

[wingerdinger]

mbn reminds me of an oshie or perron. i'd be ecstatic if he falls into our lap.

Another "nEpO pIcK"

Iginla will be a Flames nepo pick. Theyre going to pick between 13 and 18. Iginla should be around thereabouts.

God I hate this.

God I hate this.

I don't mind when other teams do nepo picks. I wouldn't mind the Wings doing it if Kienan played like Iginla's kid.

The team won't pick anyone you want. I haven't paid much attention to prospects this year after the debacle the last draft.

I trust Stevie's ability to trade more than Draper's ability to draft. Just pick BPA, and let Stevie trade for whatever the team needs. Tradeable assets. That is what the team needs.

Doing a mock on HF mock draft for the Wings.

It's a 7-rounder.

Any info or recommendation is appreciated.

EDIT: Also, teams available for anyone if they want to dip their feat in.

EDIT 2: @Frk It.

MBN is a better shooter now. That’s why Kasper will be a center and MBN the winger.

Sounds fun, but I don’t want another fanbase coming after me with their BS

I see they have you picking 16th, I’ll be curious to see who is left at that slot.

Crazy to think we might actually be picking there, or thereabouts.

I’d say grab Hage or Miss if they are there in round 2, but I doubt they will.

 

[Holden Caufield]

Does anyone have any thoughts on Melvin Fernstrom? Seems to be ranked as a middle round guy. But has the profile of a guy I would be interested in…

Sounds like an electric offensive player. Very creative and a good skater with decent size. He is scoring very well. But I haven’t seen in game action and have only seen a few highlights. They are hard to find.

Hage, I like it.

Who's Miss?

EDIT: If you want to do the Mock for the Wings, it's all you. I think LA is left, I could take them.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Hage Hompson?

 

[FabricDetails]

Edit: Wrong thread.

Appreciate the offer, but you got it!!

I've seen this player ranked in our potential range in the first round, but know nothing about him:

 

[Frk It]

And here it is --

Macklin Celebrini the unanimous No. 1 prospect in Bob McKenzie's mid-season draft ranking | TSN

Ten out of 10 NHL team scouts surveyed by TSN have the 17-year-old Boston University freshman centre at No. 1. Almost all of them can’t see anyone other than Celebrini going first overall on June 28.

Takeaways from Bob's ranking
-Yakemchuk/Buium/Jiricek at #12/13/14, if any of those 3 are available at our first pick, I am fine with taking them over a forward... (I randomly saw some of Buium's highlights at Denver recently, holy smokes that kid looks impressive.)
-Forwards I like in that 10-20 range - Connelly, Iginla, Greentree... and I like Ritchie at #21 too
-This ranking is good for the MBN supporters, he comes in at #20... I honestly thought he would be higher. If we end up picking him I will try to convince myself he is Timo Meier 2.0 (possibly the version prior to this year)

Yes sir, the dream is still alive.

Really seems like there could be a very promising winger on the board where the Wings pick, whether that's MBN, Greentree, or someone else.

Yakemchuk would be my first call of those you mentioned followed by the forwards. I personally think we pass on Buium after taking ASP last year. I think he will be a better college player than a pro player at the end of the day. Greentree would be awesome but I think he is off of the board before we ultimately pick. Those two in Muskegon also warrant some consideration. I don't know what to make of Jiricek to be honest.
