2024 Draft Thread - Friday June 28 and Saturday June 29 - Sphere Las Vegas

[On-the-Fly]

Steve f***ing Nash, eh?

 

[HockeyVirus]

IMO if the pick isn't over within that 3 minutes they should forfeit it to the Leafs

 

[GQS]

Gotta say the NHL made a great decision to have the draft at the Sphere! Looks soooo cool with that huge screen!

 

[Scion]

Greentree and Boisvert are arguably the worst skaters ranked in the first round so scratch them off your list lol

Greentree is no worse a skater than Jason Robertson was at that age, and like Robertson Greentree does so many other things well. I would bet on him being able to add a step before he hits the pros, but you can't teach his combination of size, skill and IQ.

 

[Rare Jewel]

We all know it's Levshunov lets go.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Levshunov to Chicago me thinks? I'm pissed I was going to make some bets on what team will be taking who and now the market is closed. I guess it was one of those things where you had to wager before the draft lol

 

[Rare Jewel]

Silayev next.

20 more to go.

Yeah I work at a sportsbook, with the draft having so much inside info USUALLY things are closed a little early. Maybe open throughout for the NFL since it's so big.

Silayev next.

20 more to go.

Nah, Buium or Sennecke

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Silayev next.

20 more to go.

Or Buium I've been hearing all day.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Levshunov looks like he's married with 5 kids, owns a minivan and is an elite bowler

 

[TheDoldrums]

Grabo!

 

[Rare Jewel]

Nah, Buium or Sennecke

Buium is a good shout, but Verbeek loves trees.

We'll see.

I agree and he plays a good power game. It's not like he will be in the pros right from the start so he will have time to improve his skating.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Wow!

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Oh wow, that's a stunner of a pick

The kid himself is shocked

 

[TheDoldrums]

Man I watched Sennecke live a few times, I really think he has bust potential. I would never have taken him this high, tho the upside is tantalizing. Definite project.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

That's a huge reach. Lots of great prospects in front of him.

 

[weems]

Haha pretty crazy pick but not that surprised.

This kid has insane talent and had a huge growth spurt from 5'10 to 6'3 the past two years.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Sennecke haha that reaction was awesome.

 

[supermann_98]

Dammit the chance of Demidov going to the habs is high now, makes me sick

 

[TheFloater]

Whoa. Let's see if someone jumps up and trades for 4th

 

[Rare Jewel]

Kid was late 1st/2nd before the OHL playoffs.

 

[Leaf Lander]

The draft at the sphere is fantastic. How could they decentralized it now

What a spetical!!!

It is next level!

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Sennecke was 5 to 1 odds to go 3rd and Scott Wheeler said he heard rumblings of them making strong considerations to take him.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Man I watched Sennecke live a few times, I really think he has bust potential. I would never have taken him this high, tho the upside is tantalizing. Definite project.

Good call though. Yeah, it's a reach.

Demidov now?

Nope.
