Prospect Info: 2024 Entry Draft LIVE from the CUBE in RENO

[M88K]

huh? he absolutely runs the draft. he selects the ppl responsible for scouting. the ppl that make the ultimate decisions. he's responsible for making sure that everyone involved in the process speaks the same language.

he might not be the one saying, 'let's draft joe smith,' but he's absolutely accountable for building the org and processes that determine who the stars draft.

right which is why he gets credit for Failures/Success, but it's been rehashed many times from, the organization even, that McDonnel runs the draft, so idk what point you're trying to make here.

so.. he runs it.
running something doesn't mean that you actually do the last thing in the sequence. i run a lot of things in my job that i could never do as an individual, i have to find ppl that can and that i trust to execute it the way i need.
nill runs the draft, even if he isn't dropping in on draft day to say, hey guys, let's grab this bloke.

yeah it's pretty obvious that in the context of my post it was in regards to the players selected, not the figure head who hired people. So again I don't know what point you're trying to make.
The prospects selected on draft day aren't selected by Nill. Ergo he doesn't run the draft. It's not rocket science.
He gets credit for the success and failures of the people he hired to find the talent, as i've said multiple times now. So, again, other than trying to make some largely irrelevant technicality your main talking point, what is the point you're trying to make here?

Faksa wasnt 20 years ago xdd but it fells like it xdd

Oh he played in ohl i didnt even know that

 

[catters078]

My personal preference for draft with our top pick

1. Trade down to as low as 40

If no move made and picking at 29 then

2. Emil Hemming
3. Julius Miettinen
4. Ryder Ritchie
5. Cole Beaudoin
6. Ej Emery

Feels a bit misleading as Tufte split between USHL and Highschool in his draft year and he left the USHL to go back to highschool

 

[joshik]

Tufte type is actually what we still need.

Im not really for moving down there seems to be pretty decent late first round group.

 

[joshik]

I really like Marek Vanacker or Yegor Surin.

Ritchie i would avoid he is seems like decent at everything but doesnt really excel.

 

[joshik]

Hemming is also probably my nr1 he seems like the best goal scorere at our position.

 

[starsfan86]

I want Basha still. Would be happy with several others though. Don’t really care for Beaudoin, O’Reilly, and Elick. Just not high on him as others are. Would be fine with Miettinen who dallasman said to keep an eye on.

Letourneau is Tufte 2.0 (no thanks!)

 

[joshik]

Lindstrom said he plays lot a like a Hintz xdd

 

[starsfan86]

Lindstrom said he plays lot a like a Hintz xdd

So, he gets hurt every 5 games? Actually I think Lindstrom did suffer an injury this season. Makes sense

 

[joshik]

I want Basha still.

"Basha is an entry machine" this is what we need actually

 

[Magic Mittens]

Phones off felllas but lets f***ing go

[redbeardtx]

I won't be able to do draft profiles of the picks until Sunday or Monday. I'm in the hospital with an infection.

Someone else can do it or I'll just do it a bit late.

Get well soon buddy. Will pray for you

Sennecke ??? I never heard him being considered in top 10

Chicago should be taking Demidov.

Time for every GM to come out and thank the great city of Las Vegas, congratulate Florida on the Cup, and have someone else announce their pick
