GDT: 2024 NHL Draft Round 1-7 (Jun 28-29)

Ottawa is definitely picking Buium

I would rather them take Buium than us passing on Buium when he is available.

My guess is we go with Dickinson if Buium is gone.

 

[The Marquis]

Get ready.

If it’s Ottawa, I think they’ll thank me.

That said, I’m not going to be upset. 4 guys I think are 8OA worthy on the board

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Whoa. Buium is still there. So is Dickinson. Prepare to get angry folks.

 

[The Marquis]

Damn. Was so ready for some violence! Almost so much I wanted them to take Buium.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Yakemchuk to Ottawa

Don't F*** this one up Ronnie...

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yakemchuk to Ottawa

Don't F*** this one up Ronnie...

My body is ready.

 

[Sad People]

Sounds like y’all want Buium?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Do they feel compelled to let the clock run out before picking?

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Sounds like y’all want Buium?

I wouldn't be mad if it was Parekh or Catton.

Though, 'Buium seems the logical choice.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Saw a lot of Buium here in Denver this year - he'd be just fine.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Dickinson, Silayev or Helenius.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Catton. Ok. I am 100% fine with it.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Alright, Catton. Welcome to Seattle!

 

[kihei]

Yakemchuk. Holy hell. Now Ron, pick the right guy, puh-lease.

 

[The Marquis]

Oh! Well, he can sure as hell score.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

Berkly Catton.

Like it, even if a defenseman was what people thought we should do.

 

[Sad People]

I don’t pay much attention to to prospects so should I be happy or mad? lol the comparison isn’t bad at all.

 

[kihei]

Well, I don't love it, but that's a lot of elite skill he brings to the table. Which we sure as hell need.

 

[rsteen]

Hope Dunn is planning on playing at his current level until the age of 35 becase Ron doesn't believe in D prospects! If he was going F I'm glad it's Catton though.

 

[Interior Cascadian]

I don’t understand picking another center over Buium, Dickinson, or Parekh.

 

[majormajor]

I had Buium higher rated but Catton is an incredible player.

He's probably a winger at the NHL level, he's only 5'10. But he's an amazing playmaker and shooter who I think can drive a line from the wing. He'll help Beniers and Wright score in bunches.

I've heard Catton talk about how he studies the game in detail and it's really special.

I think he can be an All-Star player in the mold of Clayton Keller or Johnny Gaudreau

 

[The Marquis]

I’m ok with that pick

Hope Dunn is planning on playing at his current level until the age of 35 becase Ron doesn't believe in D prospects! If he was going F I'm glad it's Catton though.

Yeah. Pretty much. Had the D above him, but for a F, he’s the one I’d have taken

 

[rsteen]

Good chance Catton is a winger at the NHL level.

Well, you always take the BPA and you can make a case for Catton being that guy.

He's really talanted and has elite offensive attributes.

I don’t understand picking another center over Buium, Dickinson, or Parekh.

Catton seems like a guy that probably ends up on the wing and has even talked about that himself.

I think he can, best case, become a ppg winger for us.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Sharks ending up with Celebrini and Buium would be one hell of a draft.
