GDT: 2024 NHL Draft - (1st Round - 6/28 at 7PM ET and Remainder of Draft - 6/29 at 11:30AM ET)

[Winston Wolf]

My only real hope for this draft is that the Canadiens pass on Demidov and pick someone like Yakemchuk or Sennecke so I can get some pleasure from their fans' reactions.

 

[wankstifier]

The rumored ask of the Flyers is 2024 #12, #32, and Colorado's 2025 1st. What would be the equivalent ask of the Hurricanes? Necas, 2024 #27, and #60?

 

[BernieParent]

In the words of my great ancestor Confucius. You are a gentleman.

You're too kind as always, China. It's more avoiding the times when gloating boomerangs, which would be the majority of the time.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Alright, so per 32 thoughts apparently Columbus is asking for 12 + 32 + Colorado's 1st rounder next year. Why wouldn't you make this trade to draft Demidov?

Thanks for giving me a random boner in the middle of the day, "Guy," if that's even your real name.

 

[Prongo]

I think a lot of this is your typical GMs using the media to try and drive the prices. We will see, it’s quiet and I’m not even sure if Carolina is going to draft Demidov either. And saw speculation that Montreal wants Iggy but again, could be a smokescreen.

Big, if true.

once again..amazing insight from Ant..will get back to him after the weather for the sports report

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Seems like a lot to move up a couple places in the 2nd half of the first round...

 

[LegionOfGloom]

I'm loving that Briere keeps striking out trying to move up into the top-10. Maybe it will even get through his thick skull that this is why teams tank - because its the only way to get those picks.

Why would you love it? This is such a pathetic take as a fan of a team.

I applaud it, actually.

The reality is that he can easily get the trade by giving up more, for which he would then be lambasted by this same group. Right now, what I see is that he's trying to use his 'free' assets (2nd 1st from FLA, 2nd 1st from COL) - things that we aren't really supposed to own anyway, of which he inherited one, and secured another from 2 good trades.

Will it work? We don't know, but if he includes Farabee in there? Yes, we'd already have the #4, so I find the terms 'striking out' to be an interesting choice of words.

It is. Great trade by LA. No idea why MTL does that so far ahead. It’s not like they’re moving into the top 10-15

 

[Fly0rDie]

They tried to trade up for Michkov last year and striked out, but he obviously fell in their lap anyways. Catton could very well fall in their lap at 12 without having to give up any other assets. Could be a blessing in disguise… Until they draft Stolberg at 12 with Catton on the board and I jump off a bridge.

Because it would teach him you can already have those picks if you actually acted like a rebuilding team. Though I suspect you already realize that but purposefully dense from someone who will support whatever the Flyers do.

 

[Beef Invictus]

If all those picks are truly available, you won’t see any of trades until they’re live on the clock with the board realized. Possible exception of #4, which could go early if everyone knows 1-3.

Maybe I'm an idiot swayed by flawed observation, but it feels like there's more furor over trading into the top 10 than usual. Wonder if the Flyers managing to land Michkov has a lot of teams taking an "anything can happen, but only if you're there!" position.

Could be. It's an interesting take.

But then again, the furor is counter intuitive to that, isn't it? There's a lot more about "my pick is available" as well - where as last year, nothing was even mentioned as being available. If they would take that approach, why make the pick tradeable?

So I don't know.

And if their draft board is 10 deep anyone who falls is a huge win.

See, I am an idiot

[FlyerNutter]

Sigh. Another one

 

[MrGuyPerson]

So I do not buy that Carolina has Necas on the table and CBJ is actually considering that trade.

Don Waddell was the Carolina GM, but I am pretty sure the way it ended Waddell was at least annoyed by Necas/his Dad. I just can't see him pursuing him in any fashion.

Maybe they are using Necas to get Farabee included on the Flyers end.

 

[GKJ]

I don’t know how else Carolina getting the pick. Their first pick is 27th.

You seem to be missing the rather obvious point that the Flyers need a massive infusion of talent if they hope to be a contender sometime this decade, so having a top 5 pick in addition to some extra late 1sts is a much better position than using those two late 1sts to move up from 12 to 4.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

f*** it. Whisper in Waddell’s ear that CBJ are close to contending and a TK away: TK and 32 for 4 as a base

 

[GKJ]

Also you’re seeing just how hard it is to move up in the draft if 3 1sts couldn’t get this done. It’s gotten harder over the years.
