GDT: 2024 NHL Draft Talk - Picked 2nd, 18th, 27th, 67th, 72nd, 92nd, 138th, & 163rd Overall

[BobbyJet]

I keep hearing accolades for picks going on.... Boisvert.... crickets.

 

[Mister X]

Not really thrilled with our picks, but hopefully they both turn out to be important parts of the team in the coming years.

Hopefully we trade back into the first and use our collection of picks to add another high end guy to the prospect pool.

 

[Larmer83]

He's probably the only guy in the system who will likely stick at center. I still don't think Moore has the hockey sense to stay at center and Nazar is too small. Boisvert has the size, hockey I.Q. and enough speed to stay at center.

Ryan Greene?

 

[belfour30]

Someone want to start the Fire KD thread?

KD=Stanley Jr.

 

[scorehawks]

Big centre, power forward, can score and loves to scrap. What's not to like?

 

[TheFridge]

we used to be the org that took advantage of the free squares when they happened...turbo, saad, debrincat etc

Saad was the Hawks 4th pick in 2011. Teravainen was a projected top-10 pick that fell to 18. DeBrincat was an actual smurf riding the coattails of better NHL prospects (McDavid, Strome).

Nope go ahead

 

[Callidusblackhawk]

Welp. Looks like the rumors were right on both picks. Good to know for the future.

It's so on brand for you to overreact and make knee jerk reactions. What are you waiting for?

 

[clydesdale line]

Ryan Greene?

Good point. I don't like Greene's upside compared to Boisvert but he can definitely stick at center.

 

[belfour30]

Welp. Looks like the rumors were right on both picks. Good to know for the future.

If I'm KD, I'm looking for the mole.

 

[ColbyChaos]

KD is really staking his job on this draft at least the Lev pick can be justified. Boisvert is just mid all around

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Welp. Looks like the rumors were right on both picks. Good to know for the future.

KD don't run a tight ship, for better or worse.

You really going to defend this shitty night?

That trade up was f***ing dumb and we reached at #18 and ignored many better players

 

[TLEH]

Rather have taken Hage.

 

[MTU34]

Big centre, power forward, can score and loves to scrap. What's not to like?

I think they left a couple of better players on the board (Actually maybe only 1 in Hage).

I think it’s hilarious that people hate this though. It’s exactly what a bunch of people here have been clamoring for

 

[belfour30]

I'm not going to do it for exactly this reason.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Saad was the Hawks 4th pick in 2011. Teravainen was a projected top-10 pick that fell to 18. DeBrincat was an actual smurf riding the coattails of better NHL prospects (McDavid, Strome).

Saad went into his draft year projected top 10 and fell because he was hurt but they assumed it was work ethic...Teravainen was 3rd on Bob's big board and fell to 18...Debrincat scored a gazillion goals and fell because he was small...take Eiserman and go to bed I mean wtf are we doing

 

[AmericanDream]

Would the Isles look at Eiserman with Bellows and WallE not reaching star status

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

And of course they use our pick on Eiserman

 

[belfour30]

I want size, yeah but I don't want size with minimal upside.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Islanders cooked us

 

[Space umpire]

Love this pick a true C with a well rounded game. Long term #2 C. Setting up 3 solid C’s (with Greene) moving forward.
Many of you who were bitching about small and or low IQ players are now complaining about this pick.
The worst part is wanting Eiserman over him.the guy is lazy and slow. Plays disinterested unless you’re feeding him pucks.
I think BWC would have complained no matter who they picked.

 

[Kurtosis]

Isles got a steal.

 

[TLEH]

Trading a 2nd rounder to move up two months before the draft is so weird
