NHL Entry Draft 2024 NHL Draft Talk

[frightenedinmatenum2]

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

You're right that they can't sign until July 1st, but there would be nothing stopping a team from hammering out the details of an extension now (with Ottawa's permission). It simply wouldn't be binding for another few days until it can officially be submitted to the league.

I think this ends up similar to the Debrincat thing, where we try to get a current 1st, but end up having to settle for a pick in next year's draft.

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

Is he a year older than everyone in the WHL? Because he had more goals than any other dman in the league.

 

[BondraTime]

Absolutely insane if true.

Yeah that's worrying, though not really surprising. It's the same staff

If that was the case they should be beating the door down to trade up for him now

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Seriously why are our moron scouts OBSESSED with "hard workers", 95% of 1st round picks are hard workers, it's not some super-special trait.

 

[JaredCowen4Norris]

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

A tradition that is quickly followed by even more rage when the first post-draft report card article gives us a C- lol.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Did we not draft Stone from the WHL? Stone had poor skating too if I remember. Granted this kid doesn't have Stone's brain, but I doubt he's as bad a pick as some here are making it.

well it's what happens when your scouting group screws up as much as ours.

2018 and 2020 are literally our only good draft years for the past decade or so.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

If they had Beaudoin that high internally that he was a candidate near the top 10, maybe they finalize a deal to send Chychrun to LAK, and then move up to 20, since the Islanders seem to be trying to get more picks based on their swap with Chicago.

 

[ottawagm]

I still think Chychrun is moved before the end of the draft if the player we want is still there around the mid 20s.

I find it really amazing that we always draft hard working kids, but I definitely would not describe our NHL team as a hard working or gritty team in any way.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Great pick by Vegas

Connelly is easily a top 10 talent and they need an influx of skill

What are you talking about.

That's basically all that the DJ team did. Work hard. They just didn't do it in any productive manner.

When you look into what Connelly did which the broadcast felt the need to bring up, it really isn't the big issue you'd think it'd be. An obvious mistake from a teenager who didn't understand what he was doing. It'd be idiotic for a team to think that was some sort of red flag. Vegas go themselves a steal.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Absolutely insane if true.

Damn spot on on yakemchuk

Man he was spot on on all picks lol. He definitely knows some people

 

[BondraTime]

Islanders going back to the well for Wahlstrom 2.0

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

They ran around like chickens with their heads cut off. That's not working hard, it's working dumb.

 

[BondraTime]

You'd need a team that wants to trade those picks for Chychrun, which you likely aren;t finding

 

[Hale The Villain]

Islanders going back to the well for Wahlstrom 2.0

Bellows too.

Wonder if this will be strike 3.

They worked hard at working dumb.

It wasn’t the only issue. Just the most shocking.
Add racial slurs and losing game for team with selfish play.
On and off ice issues.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

With our pick at 7... I am starting to like Chychrun at RD for the next 4 years., We just need him to hit, drop em and take a few good cross checking penalties every now and then.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I wasn't aware of his on-ice selfish play so that might be why he dropped that low but the racial slur thing was taken off his record so obviously it was deemed to be a wrongful "strike".

 

[Micklebot]

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

This isn't really true,

The bulk of NHL draft picks are born in the first 5 months of the year, in reality he's a little under 6 months older than the average draft pick.

Teammates avoided events he was attending.
Believe what you want.
That’s too many “strikes” for me.
