NHL Entry Draft 2024 NHL Draft Talk

[BondraTime]

Hopefully our next tfew picks follow the Stone, Batherson, Hoffman mold

They have been quite good in the mid rounds, they have been bad in the 2nds the past few years, though I guess 1/3 isn’t too bad, though Roger and Nordberg look like extremely large misses.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Having Ottawa’s forward prosect pool after missing the playoffs for 7 years is a catastrophe.

 

[Micklebot]

They have been quite good in the mid rounds, they have been bad in the 2nds

Ostapchuk, Pinto and Kleven are good, Sogaard and Jarventie could still pan out, but we've also made some really questionable picks in the 2 imo.

I liked Sokolov as a pick, Nordberg and Roger not so much, but as a whole I don't think the 2nd gas been particularly bad

 

[Rodzilla]

I think Id like some new guys in the scouting staff

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Nice pick for Calgary. Mews is a good kid.

 

[Wondercarrot]

By the time we make the playoffs, the league will have clamped down on violence in the post-season anyway.

This is not the time for realism NyQuil. Now is the time for unfettered optimism!

 

[PatrickEaves]

This is not the time for realism NyQuil. Now is the time for unfettered optimism!

I mean, he was pretty optimistic saying we will make the playoffs eventually.

I

Sens scouting staff is hilariously predictable

Wonder if we get the overage guy from USHL or obscure American League in the 4th

If it is hilariously predictable why are you wondering?

 

[thinkwild]

Feels like there are more trade ups this year than usual.

Because it was rhetorical?

You should stick to reading, posting might not be your thing.

 

[HF Reader]

As was mine.

You should stick to reading, posting might not be your thing.

Speaking of "hilariously predictable". Or at least "predictable".

You should stick to reading, posting might not be your thing.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Maybe we shouldn't be mad at Dorion anymore for trading all those picks. Our meathead scouts would have wasted them anyways.

 

[Speatleysson]

I'm surprised the sens haven't flipped one of the 4ths + to get into the 3rd round

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I'm surprised the sens haven't flipped one of the 4ths + to get into the 3rd round

Move up to the third round to draft someone projected to go in the 7th.

If you draft 30 Ben Rogers, one has to pan out I guess.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I'm surprised the sens haven't flipped one of the 4ths + to get into the 3rd round

They may be confident their guy is there in the seventh

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I'm surprised the sens haven't flipped one of the 4ths + to get into the 3rd round

We only have 4 picks after 39, I feel like we will be looking to leverage at least one of our 4ths into two later picks

 

[BondraTime]

I'm surprised the sens haven't flipped one of the 4ths + to get into the 3rd round

I’d wager they’re locked and loaded with their guys in the 4th

 

[RickyLafleur]

I’d wager they’re locked and loaded with their guys in the 4th

with guys who are likely unranked on most scouts lists

 

[2CHAINZ]

with guys who are likely unranked on most scouts lists

Nah we only reach in rounds 1-3. 4 and on we draft best player available

 

[Icelevel]

I think Id like some new guys in the scouting staff

Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Boyd replaced.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Ok this is funny.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Boyd replaced.

The scouts get direction from their GM. I’m sorry to tell you.

It’s possible Dorion and staios have sort of the same vision in what kind of players they want to draft

 

[thinkwild]

I guess it's been a while since i bought a new suit jacket, but the pictures in the inner lining of players suits appears to be a new style now. Will go well with the colorful socks i guess.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Ok this is funny.

Are they at any point going to realize…it’s not working?

You can have the right vision… doesnt mean much if the evaluations/execution is off
