NHL Entry Draft 2024 NHL Draft Talk

[Sens of Anarchy]

17 Y/O Sam Dickinson.


The Big Guy can move.
That makes it 2-1 London

No Parekh in this one.. Saginaw led till about halfway through the 3rd

 

[Cosmix]

At #7 we are likely going to get a very good prospect, provided the new brain trust does not reach beyond the consensus or Bob's list.

Way out there. That's Tony Ferrari's rankings. He is going off the deep end.

Blue Chip Prospect Mock Draft. Entertainment value only.

 

[SENATOR]

If this is going to be another Tyler Boucher moment. This team is in trouble. Not drafting Russians, skipping on hockey IQ and skills. That's why we do not make playoffs for so many years. I would prefer dismal Leafs performance in post season and the " it is not junior bench conversation" instead what we have.

Interesting list . LOL. To me that top 5 is not THAT crazy. Catton is too high for me but I could see any of the others going top 5. But the next 5 is a little wacky to say the least.

I wonder what Ferrari's historical past record is compared to actual drafts and redrafts.

I'm sure you can find his rankings and compare them to actual positions .. If you so desire.
He has moved around a bit but I'm sure you can dig them up.
Let us know what you come up with.

Blue Chip Prospect Mock Draft. Entertainment value only.

Wow, Eiserman and Perekh at 16 and 17, that's quite the departure from what I'd seen in the past. I haven't been following the draft too closely, so that could just be the normal shuffling that happens this time of year, I know some weren't as high on Eiserman in particular, but that seems like a big drop.

I think you are quoting Ferrari rankings vs this Mock Draft that you actually quoted

You think Pinto was a bad pick in the 2nd round. Hard to take your opinion seriously. I dont see any scenario that there is another Boucher pick this year they are likely targeting a blue chip D man.

 

[Sensators]

I wouldn't hate catton. IQ and really good at drawing ppl in and making passes they didn't see coming. We need defenseman but we also could use a lot more transition forwards and he's quite good at that. Good on the pk too. Think ottawa will struggle to draft a player I'm upset with this year.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sennecke is leading the OHL in playoff points (tied w Ritchie); Oshawa about to go up 3 games to 0


Parekh gets a primary on the Game winner , and a secondary on the insurance goal.. Missed the 1st 2 games of the series London won both. Saginaw wins tonight 6-2.

Pinto is not a top 6 player. He will be paid 4 million a season. That is not a top six player contract. If he would be top six, we would make playoffs. He is a solid pick, what a player on a third line should look like. Teams find top six players in the second round all the time. We can not even find them in the first round. Kucherov, Robertson, DeBrincat, Peterka, Aho and so on. We actually need as the number one priority to find NHL starter calibre goalie and a good coach. Our defence is fine. What we need is to find help for our top six. We are very thin in that department.

 

[SENATOR]

I hope with the second pick in the first round, we pick a high IQ player in Emil Hemming. First pick, if not Lindstrom, then Helenius. This way we will have two top six blue chip prospects.

So now Pinto is a solid pick, last time you said he was a safe stupid pick.

 

[ijif]

I am somewhat, selfishly, disappointed Sennecke is popping in the playoffs, was hoping he’d maybe drop into our second first round pick range, even though that was probably still unlikely.

Pinto just put up 27 points in 41 games. 54 point pace for a full 82 game schedule. And he did this in his second season with no training camp. And he plays defensively sound hockey as a 23 year old player.

Shane Pinto is tracking to be a very solid second line player for 6-8 years of his career.

Yeah he's going top 15 for sure.

What's exciting about him is that he's very raw. He has grown from 5'10 to 6'3 in a couple years.

You can tell watching the way he moves that he's still getting used to his size. He's awkward in the way he skates and still needs to add some weight to his frame.

The upside is there to be a fantastic player when fully developed. I really liked his teammate Ritchie in the draft last year and I see a lot of similarities. Love me the trio of skill, smarts and size.

Worth mentioning here that Carter Yakemchuk is a similar story. He was drafted into the WHL as a 5'9" offensive defenceman and is now listed as 6'3". It's hard to tell when exactly he hit his growth spurt, but watching him this year, he definitely has some of that same awkwardness in his skating and you wonder how much of it is the adjustment to his size.

There's a lot of "what?!?" in here... but wait, what?!?

If we draft Parekh, I might pre-order a jersey for the first time ever
