NHL Entry Draft 2024 NHL Draft Talk

[BUCKLE UP]

SJ about to get Zeev and a W of a draft

 

[SensFactor]

Zeev Buium still on the board is ludicrous

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Well two slam dunks at 2 and 4. That draft was so stacked the people that went right after those picks look like superstars as well lol. Can’t miss.

Did pretty well in 2020

Greig was a fine pick. Kleven is tracking to be a third pair d man which is fine.

They’ve draft so many guys that could not play. Not needed during a complete rebuild.

Don’t know why they were kept around

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

lets hope hi will be our adam fox, and not right footed chychrun

He's a right hand chychrun if we are Lucky.... Chychrun's skating is far better

They went with a RD and they went with Nasty,,, They picked the worst defender in the group... He can't defend on the rush his skating and pivots are brutal. He needs a lot of growth defensively and is a high risk pick to get a RD and the Nasty. We'll see I hope I am wrong on him but don't expect miracles

The difference is that. Every source available said tkatchuk was great.

Every source available says yakemchuk can’t skate and has trouble defending.

This isn’t an exaggeration at all!

We’ll find out in a few years. The point is neither you or I know for certain, it’s not worth a board meltdown over.

I'm glad that the tradition of Sens fans getting pissed at our draft pick lives on.

Pretty sure Stützle is the only 1st round pick this forum wasn't pissed at in the last decade.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I gotta say, I didn't watch much of Yakemchuk so I'm not really the most knowledgeable on his game, but I'm a little shocked to see the heavy negative reaction in here. He's a big right shot dman who is mean, very physical, can score goals, and is great with the puck on his stick. I'm sure there's some flaws in his game (every prospect has them), but why do people dislike this pick so quickly? Simply because 4 other dmen were ranked ahead of him? Strange reasoning.

Perhaps scouts of nhl teams see something that fans don't.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Even a blind squirrel finds nuts sometimes

Why we livin in the past Chainz. Like your rap career, we're over it.

You’d think with that track record they’d learn to let it play out.

oh sorry, to much football i watched past days

I see pond hockey and size and skill that weak 16 and 17 year olds simply can’t deal with

I think what most fans do is go by the consensus draft order from analysts and use that as their gauge

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Really fantastic work by San Jose to end up with the 11th pick from Karlsson, when he was basically unmoveable.

 

[Senscore]

Dickinson to the Sharks.


Good pick

 

[Cosmix]

Time will tell

Fans always think they know more then they actual scouts Lol

Time will tell who was right.

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean.

Lots of people wanted Drysdale at 5 and preferred Byfield over Stu, though LA made that choice for us.

 

[DrEasy]

It's like we're afraid of star quality. Flames and Devils must be ecstatic at what fell in their laps.

You think Galchenyuk is a good hockey player. I don't know if you have any merit for player assessment

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Size and skill usually are pretty helpful in the NHL too lol.

With the track record you can see why there’s no faith.

I dunno. I've been listening to the rap battle between Drake and Lamar on repeat. hahaha.

 

[jake1]

This won't go over well, but maybe they were struck by how tissue soft the team was when they watched all year, and decided when guys are close, they're going for the one with an edge.
