Prospect Info: 2024 Draft - Flames select C Luke Misa #150th Overall

[JurassicTunga]

Speed is the name of Misa’s game, and he is dynamite in transition, impacting the puck on every shift. He turns defensive zone recoveries into controlled offensive zone entries, attacking opposing defences with breakneck speed and dynamic crossovers. Whether his passes are one-touches within short range, give-and-goes, or cross ice darts through traffic, Misa consistently utilizes his speed and playmaking vision to generate high-danger offence.

Again another good value pick. I’ll take it

 

[Janks]

Love it

 

[Some Other Flame]

Future franchise centre

Either because he's really good or because he's the only natural center in the organization

 

[Bounces R Way]

Following in a long line of less talented brothers to be a Calgary Flame

Val Bure, Rob Niedermayer, Markus Granlund, Michael Stone

Thrilled to get him at #150. Maybe they buck the trend and draft his brother as well, should maybe have a shot at it with the way the roster is shaping up for next season.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Why'd he fall? Size? Most outlets had him 2nd round.

Not a 4th round pick though, so total bust.

 

[herashak]

So they picked their first centre at #150?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Why'd he fall? Size? Most outlets had him 2nd round.

Not a 4th round pick though, so total bust.

The Flames have an excellent history with their 4th rounders.

 

[User1996]

I really quite liked his game at the Top Prospects, but was very “meh” in the rest of my viewings (mainly playoffs).

 

[Potty John]

What a steal, overall great draft. Happy we went with skill and speed mostly.

 

[Backlund]

Already played 3 full seasons in the OHL so after next season he can go to the Wranglers

Hell Yeah

 

[Khrox]

Val Bure, Rob Niedermayer, Markus Granlund, Michael Stone

You forgot Staffan Kronwall

We also had the lesser Sutters as players. And the lesser Primeau and Reinhart.

We did have the good Kiprusoff

And we had both Drury brothers, although the good one got out here faster than Usain Bolt.

We've also had a good number of NHL fathers in Reinhart, Nylander Gagner, Nillson, Sutter(?)

Why'd he fall? Size? Most outlets had him 2nd round.

Not a 4th round pick though, so total bust.

Ya, I wonder too. Most had hime 2nd rnd at midseason, but he was a faller for sure.
He's a great pick at 150, and lets hope we can get his brother!

 

[Bounces R Way]

You forgot Staffan Kronwall

would be hard not to tbf

 

[Fig]

So who else does he play like stylistically other than a Cizikas type?

 

[Some Other Flame]

Steal of the draft

https://x.com/i/web/status/1809637962994348245

It's gonna be criminal when the Flames try to turn him into a left winger

 

[Felidae]

Misa scored 81 points in 66 OHL games in his 3rd season in the league.

Notable names that had comparable production at the same age: Verhaeghe, Hoffman, Legwand.

Notable names that had comparable PPG at the same age: Hoffman, Tyler Bertuzzi, Justin Williams.

Of course, most of the above names did it in a lower scoring environment, and there's also wayyy more names surrounding him that didn't make it big. So I don't really have any expectations he makes it.

But for a 150th overall pick? Id say this is very good value. Majority of players picked in this round dont become NHLers anyways, so why not a guy with a bit of offensive upside?

 

[Volica]

Boy if you could get a Justin Williams out of the fifth round that’d be a major win.

 

[Backlund]

Boy if you could get a Justin Williams out of the fifth round that’d be a major win.

Realistically we're probably getting Paul Byron if he makes it at all.

 

[Khrox]

Realistically we're probably getting Paul Byron if he makes it at all.

Byron was a hell of a sixth rounder, you hope a fifth turns into a Byron

 

[Lunatik]

Byron was a hell of a sixth rounder, you hope a fifth turns into a Byron

statistically speaking, as of 2020 6th rounders are actually more likely to play 100 games than 5th rounders

Which proves my point of "you hope your Fifth rounder turns into a Byron"
