GDT: 2024 draft

[Lempo]

True, but on the other hand, any Canes fan should have anticipated that it was a strong possibility that the Canes trade back.

Have they previously traded down a first rounder, though? At least for a non-first-rounder so that they take themselves out of the day 1 drafting action during the draft?

Yes. 2021

#27 for #40 (Morrow) and #51 (Koivunen)

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

lol, from ESPN:

“Two things remained the same: The Dallas Stars picked up another valuable player in the 20s, and the Carolina Hurricanes traded back to acquire more pick value. Amid all the chaos, Dallas and Carolina remained predictable.”

It's not just a kids thing. It's an old money thing.

We don't always get pick number 27 but when we do we trade down

-the most interesting man in the world.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Elick and Mustard as 34-50

One of the Russian wingers, Misa at 34-50

Gidlof at 60

Saw something on Twitter that I didn’t notice last night:

Not a single team congratulated Florida on their Cup win last night. Usually you’ve got multiple teams starting off their draft with “The [X] would like to congratulate…”

Just the year before, Vegas got 4-5 such messages. It’s interesting.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

So we thinking Chernyshov at 34?

Depends on what we want to solve.

There will be some high energy centers, flawed wingers, a good all around but small lefty defender, and a shutdown righty defender.

Personally I like the idea of having 3 second round picks…I seem to recall some dude named Aho being picked in the second…

 

[spockBokk]

This certainly seems like the yr to stock up on RD

 

[WreckingCrew]

It'd be nice if we didn't take every undersized skilled faller in this draft. Seems like last year (or the year before) we only picked 1 guy > 6'0"

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Personally I like the idea of having 3 second round picks…I seem to recall some dude named Aho being picked in the second…

Faulk, Duomolin, Rask, McGinn, PDG, Ned, Aho, Luostarinen, Drury, Kochetkov, Ponomarev, Morrow, Koivunen, FUS.

All guys drafted in round 2 that either have become regular NHL’rs, were used in trades to help the team, or look promising for the future.

As @bleedgreen and others have alluded to in the past, when you get beyond the early-mid 1st round, its never a sure thing, so it’s often good to have more darts.

 

[CandyCanes]

Since ESPN cut to a commercial and then we traded the pick away. Here's the Canes graphics inside the Sphere.

Is it possible the teams were told to leave that off? I have always found it stupid really, and if I was in charge I would stop that so it doesn't become an expectation that you have to do it and then there's 31 teams doing it, and if someome isn't then it's interpreted as negative.

Last two drafts we picked a number of guys 6’0” or taller per hockeydb.

They were in Vegas, everyone wanted to be out of there ASAP

"Yeah we pick Jimmy Smiths from London Knights. Come on down, Jimmy. Run! You can hug them later."

So we thinking Chernyshov at 34?

I expect San Jose to nab him.

I'm hoping we don't go Artamonov if they do. Nothing against the kid, but I don't like him for the mix via-a-vis our current NHL forwards and prospects. His skillset feels redundant.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Would love to get Linus Eriksson from Djurgården (my team), but I don't think we will take him with 34, and then I think he will be gone soon after that.

 

[Unsustainable]

Eric should start off his time at the mic by saying, Congrats to the Florida Panthers for continuing the tradition of southern teams beating Edmonton in the Cup finals.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Canes shouldn't be afraid of redundancies at this point in their farm system development. If you ever have two or three guys who look NHL-ready but have redundancies, that's what the trade market is for (see Koivunen and Ponomaryov). Artamonov and Chernyshov are a couple of my BPAs at this point in the draft, and I'd have no problem with either one.

 

[Chan790]

It's not a redundancy. It's a near-totality of our top F specs. Nadeau, Blake, Trikozov, Perron, FUS...we have a lot of smallish, elusive, cerebral, perimeter playmaking F, most of whom are really top-6-or-bust.

For systemic reasons, I think we should look to diversify that dynamic. Artamonov isn't BPA at 34, probably not at 50...if he's there at 60, nab him obviously.

 

[Unsustainable]

Chernyshov at 34 and Artamonov at 60 would be ideal, then a D at 50

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Start the draft please.
