GDT: 2024 draft

2024 NHL Mock Draft: Pronman, Wheeler and Bultman play GM and pick the first round

The Athletic's Corey Pronman, Scott Wheeler and Max Bultman make their own selections for each team in the 2024 NHL Draft's opening round.

27. Carolina Hurricanes (Pick by Bultman): Yegor Surin, C, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl

The Hurricanes have drafted a lot of skill in recent years, and here they complement those picks by adding a competitive center in Surin, who is no slouch offensively, either — he finished third in MHL playoff scoring, trailing only Demidov and 20-year-old Vladislav Romanov. Surin is also one of the youngest players in this class, and while there was some temptation to pick Emery here to keep the Hurricanes’ blue line cupboard stocked, Surin stood out as a great fit in Carolina.

I've been trying to read up on the draft some since we were knocked out. It seems like one of those years where it will be difficult to pick which guys might be available at our pick. I feel like last year we had a pretty good handle on it. I guess it might start to become more clear over the next few weeks.

2024 NHL Draft Rankings: Post World Championship Top 80

Macklin Celebrini, Ivan Demidov and Artyom Levshunov make up the top three. Then who?

33. Egor Surin, C (Yaroslavl, MHL)​

Surin was a man on a mission throughout the MHL playoffs, only getting outpaced by Ivan Demidov. He played great during the second half, where it seemed like he was more in control of his own body and not trying to hit guys for the sake of throwing a hit. Discipline can still be an issue at points, but he’s so skilled with a great shot and quick hands. If Surin can put everything together consistently without trying to get too cute with the puck, he’ll be a steal. The upside is real here.

seems like a prime year to trade down as guys will drop if a certain position starts going quickly and other teams reach so they dont miss on their guy at that position.

I've been thinking about that as well. Seems like a lot of fairly similar guys from like 20 to the late second. I'd be fine with that outcome.

some interesting prospects:

29. Charlie Elick, RHD (Brandon, WHL)​

The team that drafts Elick is getting someone with size, physicality and good defensive zone awareness. Offense? Nope, although he’s got better abilities with the puck than some might give him credit for. Elick moves well for a 6-foot-3 defenseman just shy of 200 pounds and many WHL players consider him one of the toughest defensemen to beat in 1-on-1 situations.

we have a lot of OFD in the pipleline.

If we trade down
Lucas Pettersson C
Alfons Freij LHD
Sam O'Reilly C

seem like decent candidates for early / mid 2nd round picks.

 

[WreckingCrew]

We don't have a 2nd, so it's likely we trade our 1st for 2 later 2nd or 2nd + 3rd

 

[A Star is Burns]

We do have all our picks and a couple extra in the 6th.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Per cap friendly, for next 3 years we are only missing 2 3rds and a 5th. We have 3 6th round picks this year too (albeit so what):

Didn't Penglings get our 2nd in Guentz trade?

EDIT: Nvm they got our higher PHI 2nd

It was Philly's 2nd that we got in the TDA trade

Hey, the borg can do some amazing things with 6th round picks.

Just think of how many 7th round picks they could have by the end of the draft!!

Carolina you are on the clock with... the next 32 picks? that can't be right.

 

[HisIceness]

Some of you in the past have accurately predicted some of the eventual 2nd to 7th round picks, so who from that range should I start looking up on YouTube?

I'll let you know once I do my own research here, lol. Usually I'm pretty good with the 2nd and 3rd round targets but I haven't even looked at this draft class yet.

NHL Draft 2024 goalie tiers: Marcus Gidlof leads Pronman's ranking

The goalie crop in the 2024 NHL Draft isn’t the flashiest group. Which goaltenders are likely to be selected?

Some interesting Russian overagers in the 2nd tier.

Pavel Moysevich

April 2024 - Another overage goaltender playing in the KHL, Moysevich is a 6’5 D+1 who got some playing time with SKA St. Petersburg this year. While his KHL numbers should be taken with a grain of salt – his deployment was odd, often only playing part of a game – he looked up to

Ilya Nabokov

June 2024 - Nabokov was selected in the second round, 38th overall, by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2024 NHL Draft. Hadi Kalakeche April 2024 - It’s not often that you see a 21-year-old selected in the NHL draft, but it’s not often that you have the opportunity to draft a goaltender of...

Surprisingly (to me at least) it doesn't appear Nabakov is of any relation to Evgeni

When's the last time an overager panned out? Doesn't seem like they're usually good bets in the draft.

Wasn't Morgan Geekie and overager? Or am I misremembering?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I would have to refresh my draft eligibility knowledge. He is a late july 1998 baby. So he was a month short of 19 when he was drafted in 2017.

I thought he was eligible to be drafted and wasn't the year before. Or am I misunderstanding what the term Overager means?

He may have been. I can’t remember the minimum birth date o be eligible

 

[cptjeff]

If he was August, he would have been eligible the previous draft. So you've got it.

You have to be 18 by September 15, not by the day of the draft. Basically, will you be 18 when the season starts.

Anyway, two decent examples. I was remembering us selecting an overager the year after Aho who went nowhere, but looking it up it was Janne Kuokkanen, who did make the NHL even if his career was pretty unspectacular.

Still, on balance I do like selecting younger players rather than older players- Aho was quite young and only went in the 2nd round because the sample size in the top league was limited- because he was so young- and FUS was the youngest player picked in the draft and looks like he's going to be another home run. Seems like any player who's going to be a legitimate impact guy is going to show *something* by their draft year, even if they might be too young or green to be picked at the top of the draft. Goalies like Kooch, of course, being voodoo.

According to previous write ups and geekie, he was a 1 year overager

And if only 3 are Lorrentz it's insane value
