NHL Entry Draft 2024 NHL Draft Talk

[WallyD]

All this wasted time. If they trade up 1 spot, you know who you want. Go up and make the f***ing pick.

Pretty sure the league advises them to string it out a bit to ensure they fill the 4 hours and so the talking heads have time to bore us to death with inane information.

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

Yo ottawa has so many high end players, so they take the dman with less potential to be a Star .

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Moving up one spot to get Buium tells you the drop off they felt there was after him. Minnesota must be ecstatic he fell in their lap too.

Buium and Faber will be awesome for the Wild

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Man where is that yakemchuk guy. Must be crying tears of joy. I am legit happy for him. Must feel how I felt when we traded for galchenyuk

 

[bert]

Same head scout.

GM made that pick.

 

[Micklebot]

The upside on every first rounder is intriguing it’s why they get selected there.

Sure, but his is moreso than most

He has a lot of the things you can't teach, size, nasty side, offensive instincts,

 

[DylanSensFan]

When you put your hands on your girl is it self defense cause she bigger than you?

Lotta superstars that's real, but your daddy ain't one of them.

 

[SensFactor]

Buffer is great ...

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Yo ottawa has so many high end players, so they take the dman with less potential to be a Star .

The guy had 30 goals as a dman, what are you talking about lol? If anything he's the one with the highest ceiling but the most risk involved (except for maybe Parekh, but even then you could argue there's more upside to Yakemchuk's game due to Parekh's limited size and strength).

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Guys Yakemchuk is almost a year older than everyone, so you gotta keep that in mind with his "high" numbers.

 

[DrEasy]

So it looks like we could have traded all the way down to 12OA and still done really well.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Alooott of the people who hated on pronman for disliking like all our picks are going to have to now reconcile with the fact he loves yakemchuk.

For me that fact that he loves him so much is worrying

 

[DrEasy]

Teams that are going to be very scary in 3-4 years: Chicago, Sharks, Montreal.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Guys Yakemchuk is almost a year older than everyone, so you gotta keep that in mind with his "high" numbers.

Also on a bad team. As one of the few good players on a bad team, he got a lot of ice time and opportunity. That affects the numbers (and PIM) as well.

I mean, it is a good sign he went hard on a bad team with no potential. Showing a willingness not to give up and ride out the year is good. Kid could definitely take that work ethic and make the 3rd pairing his floor at the NHL level. Question is where is his realistic landing point in the league.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Buffalo gets a steal with Helenius at 14. Pretty much a guaranteed top 6 forward with higher potential because of his elite IQ.

Could say the same for Dickinson at 11 and Buium at 12 too. Was a very deep top 14 this year.

 

[2CHAINZ]

Lotta superstars that's real, but your daddy ain't one of them.

That guy cole losing sleep on this it ain't mee

 

[Emerica]

Come on, need to unload Chychrun for a late 1st +

 

[Hale The Villain]

So if the Sens were honestly considering trading down from 7 to take Cole Beaudoin, at what point do they look to trade for another 1st to take him in the late teens/early 20s?

Btw we need a new scouting staff so ****ing badly. My god are they off their rocker.

 

[2CHAINZ]

Come on, need to unload Chychrun for a late 1st +

Yes please then draft a 3rd round player with that pick.

 

[Ouroboros]

Come on, need to unload Chychrun for a late 1st +

I don't think it's in the cards.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I don't think it's in the cards.

Team will want him after July 1st to talk about extensions. And that helps our return as well

 

[Ouroboros]

Team will want him after July 1st to talk about extensions. And that helps our return as well

They can talk extension with him now, they just can't finalize it until July 1st.

It's just so difficult to get teams to give up their 1st round picks on draft night.

Where did we hear that?

 

[DylanSensFan]

Cole lived hockey, spoke hockey, loved hockey, but he dead.

Bob Cole that is.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Where did we hear that?

Absolutely insane if true.
