2024 NHL Draft: WE DID IT, CELEBRINI IS OURS!!!

[Juxtaposer]

Totally, it's just the dynamics of this year (clear 1OA, big fat tier from 2-14ish, and then a drop off and another flat tier from say 15 or 18 thru to the 40's) ... so if you like that fat lower tier, maybe you want two bites at the apple, but I like the certainty of the talent level at 6-10 personally. Which means if I'm that team I might say no to SJS trying to trade into my spot.

Really depends on what the team needs, I think. If you’re a team that needs D, you definitely want to stay in the top-10. If you’re interested in wingers, there’ll be some good ones available at 14 and 33 or 42.

 

[TheBeard]

I guess it depends who’s still left at #9 on if it’s worth burning one of the second round picks along with #14

I mean if Silayev drops to 9, I'd be willing to give up 33 to ensure we get him instead of hoping he falls to 14. We still have the Devils pick which would still be in the early 40s.

According to the pick value charts I’ve seen (after a quick google search) 14+33 is about equal to 6-7. If Buium or Lindstrom were there, I’d do it. But I don’t know if I trust the pick value charts, because they also say 14+42 is 7-8, which I’d obviously do as well.

I doubt whomever is 6 would trade out, but a team at 8-10 may.

Did you read Bob's list? Silayev is not dropping to 9.

Someone always inevitably falls. If Buium is there at 9 I'd move up for him in a heartbeat.

Buium won't be there at 6. Sharks will draft him at #3

 

[Stewie Griffin]

If we're trading up for a dman it's Dickinson, Parekh, or Yakemchuk. The other three probably go too high.

 

[pappaf2]

I know nothing but it feels like Yakemchuk would be the one to move up for of that group?

 

[themelkman]

I really hope Yakem falls to our second pick, seems feasible given bobs list

Dickinson for the certainty+upside, or Yakemchuk if a top 5 team (ANA) didn't jump for him. I am not a Parekh lover, some team might do it though.

 

[pappaf2]

Feels like people on this board are underwhelmed by Dickinson plus he’s a left shot. Yakemchuk and Parekh shoot right. Although Parekh has some notes in the scouting report that mention a lack of compete which is very un-GMMG

LD are still needed. Dickinson probably won't go top 4 but he's a very solid prospect with upside, and could easily go 4-6, albeit seems a bit more of a vanilla top 4 D rather than someone who could game break. I would be surprised if Parekh went above Dickinson, but it could happen.

Dickinson is a completely different profile than Yakemchuk (Burns Lite) or Parekh (EK Lite). People on these boards are underwhelmed with Dickinson because he's not a sexy profile like Parekh, but scouts seem to value him and if you read his prospect page there are folks there who think he has a shot at being the best D from this draft. Same could probably be said of everyone except Parekh, who I think truly is an EK hail mary prospect (without the smooth skating) and not an "all rounder all situations" type D.

In the Book of Hockey, Chapter 20, Verses 25-27:

"And lo, in the year 2024 ,a draft shall commence
The teams shall gather, seeking talent immense.
The San Jose Sharks, in their pursuit, shall find favor
For the third pick shall be theirs to savor.
In the halls of the draft, amidst the hopeful gleam,
Zeev Buium shall emerge like a radiant beam.
A defenseman of skill, with grace and might,
Chosen by the Sharks, in the draft's pure light.
So let it be written, so let it be done,
The Sharks shall rise, their victory won
In the name of hockey, let the draft unfold,
As the tale of Zeev Buium and the Sharks is told.

 

[Saskatoon]

Silayev could be the next Chara but yea I am scared of him - just the puck skills aren't that impressive. But maybe as he fills out those improve? Idk seems like a head speed thing

 

[Frosty415]

f*** that. I don't want a Nazi on the team. How are you people even debating this?

He is literaly a teenager, I did worse things at that age.

Some of you all need to relax

I don't want the Sharks to draft you either.

 

[Frosty415]
