NHL Entry Draft 2024 NHL Draft Talk

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Its gonna be Chicago isn't it

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Lol the host is old and the hockey player is young so there are cultural misunderstandings between them that are comical.

 

[hockey20000]

hope sharks win cant stand chicago or the ducks lol 7th is still a good pick lots of options

 

[Icelevel]

Could you make this thing any more boring and awkward?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Its gonna be Chicago isn't it

Why should they have to spend 10 years rebuilding like everybody else? They only won 3 cups.

 

[DJB]

Sens didn’t fall and Habs didn’t win it.

Ill call that a win

 

[Qward]

Who are we giving up the 7th for?

 

[NyQuil]

At least they're all in the West.

 

[Relapsing]

Get f***ed Chicago

 

[Hale The Villain]

Fantastic

 

[Qward]

Booooooooooooooring

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Glad SJ won... they need him the most. (given the Sens didn't)

 

[PlayOn]

Happy for the Sharks, they deserve it!

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

HF servers bogging down because of the lottery.

 

[JackieDaytona]

Holy shit, will somebody please tell macklin wtf Zillow is?

Bringing him in for this was a poor decision. Feel bad for him.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Celebrini and Will Smith as their top 2 centres for the next decade, Sharks are gonna be scary.

 

[ijif]

Based on Bob’s list, I am looking at a few players, but I think, at least for me, it comes down to Connelly vs Parekh.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

If I'm Chicago I'm taking Demidov... with the hope to play him with Bedard

 

[JungleBeat]

What the f*** I missed it. Where do the Sens pick?

 

[bert]

Seems like a consensus top 6 grouping of Celebrini, Demidov, Silayev, Levshunov, Lindstrom and Dickinson, but with several outliers that some teams have cracking that grouping - Parekh, Yakemchuk, Buium, Helenius, and now Sennecke.

If the Sens hold at 7, maybe they get lucky and a player that's in their top 2-4 gets to them. Once again we're seeing why winning/losing a couple extra games makes a massive difference. A team slotted fifth has a realistic shot at the number 2 player on their board this year. A team slotted seventh could easily see the top six on their list go before them.

I don't agree at all that there is a consensus top 6. Any given team could have one guy 2nd and another guy 15th. Dickinson especially doesn't have close to the same upside as many of the players you listed after him.

They're gonna take a RHD I'd imagine. Would be shocking to take another undersized winger. Especially as d develop longer than forwards.

7th. No one moved a spot

 

[Hale The Villain]

Celebrini and Will Smith as their top 2 centres for the next decade, Sharks are gonna be scary.

They still need to find an entire top 4 D core and a goalie but their forward group is shaping up nicely.

 

[bert]

What the f*** I missed it. Where do the Sens pick?

Stayed in the same spot as did everyone.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Oh well, there is always next year!

 

[WallyD]

Well, at least we didn't drop.

Yes, worthy of a parade to celebrate that we didn't drop yet again! (not attacking you just observing). At least Sens were not cannon fodder for the effing NHL again. NEVER in the history of this bullshit draft lottery have the Sens ever advanced their position. Should be noted that the Sens sure as hell have dropped down more than our fair share. Other fave teams have profited so much that they had to change the GD rules. I really don't trust this league or their backroom process farther than I can throw it.

The only good thing I take out of the 2024 draft lottery is that Chicago did not win it again. They never should have retained their pick after that sexual abuse fiasco there, but apparently an idiotic mistake on a trade under Sens previous owner is far more serious than that. You go NHL!
