2024 NHL Draft Picks 11, 43, 76, 108, 109, 161, 172, 204 (Draft on 6/28 and 6/29)

He does a lot of circling waiting for the puck vice consistently going after it. Skill wise he's right up there but he's not a power forward. Think his Florida measurements will be in the 5'11 to 6' around 184lbs

Really? I have seen a few sources with him around 6’3”.

Just finished the CHL top prospects game. Any thoughts on Colton Roberts with our 3rd? he seems to have decent vision, uses his size pretty well. Looks like he needs a bit of positional work in the D zone, and skating seemed a bit labored at times but didn't seem terribly slow

I'm going by seeing him next to guys listed in that height range and he fits in, doesn't appear bigger.

 

[RasmWristshotlainen]

Don't know if it has been discussed already, but how fo you feel about trading down fnd hope for Eliasson to be there. Maybe he goes around 15-20? Anything you guys think would be worth the pick? He seems like s menace(at least at the U18).

Seems like a Sabres type player. I wouldn't be surprised if Adams chooses him. He spoke with the Sabres about the development of Savoie and Benson.

Sabres spoke with Demidov today

Sabres spoke with Demidov today

I thought all those meetings took place at combine?

No, Russian players have just arrived with the famous agent Dan Milstein and will travel and communicate with other teams before the draft, or teams will come to them, it doesn’t matter.

I'd be excited if this was the draft.

 

[Chainshot]

I'd be excited if this was the draft.

Eliasson has that sort of killer in him that they could use in their d-pipeline to build on the Strbak/McCarthy vein though at that pick, maybe early. I like the later round stuff a lot. Kol is another big, rangy, 2-way d-man. Avramov has some interesting scouting stuff in the public space and good size, Marques that far down seems like a solid gamble boom-or-bust guy. Heh, a mock I don't totally hate.

 

[hizzoner]

I am not in love with this mock draft. A lot of hope these guys are better than they have shown so far except for number 1 who is likely to be another smallish skilled winger. And I guess more LD and short goalies is what we look forward to? I bow to those who have seen these guys play but the scouting reports about them that I have read don't excite me.

Top flight center prospect so everyone can stop bitching about that? Check.

Size, size, size? Check.

A goalie (take one every year, I don't care who)? Check.

Leveraging Russia and the new-found courage to draft there? Check.


Catton/Eliasson at 11/43 would have me buzzing.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Is Catton perferred over Helenius at Center now here or is it just the thinking Helenius will not be there now ?

Most in the public space have Catton as a winger at the next level. Many have Helenius at center. At least going on that, Helenius is the center option. I think some discount Helenius' offensive game - guy has the fifth best point total for draft eligible guys out of the Liiga, full stop.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

I'd take Helenius over Catton, simply because Catton is more of the same. His offensive skills appear better but that's playing juniors while Helenius put up his points versus men and carried his team when some teammates were off to Champions

 

[Dingo44]

I'll take Catton. I think he's a center and I think within five years he's our number 1 center and a very good one.

 

[Fjordy]

I like both and would be happy with either one.

What happened to MBN? (not even going to try to spell his name out from memory).

I thought he was expected to go higher than 18th?

Dropping? Being pushed down by others? Or just "Pronman being Pronman"?

Seems like a good pick at 11, but there might be players with a higher ceiling and Kevyn usually picks the ceiling. But overall I would be happy with MBN's pick.
