GDT: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[Youngguns80]

Still need a 2C to play now. Lindstrom is a draft +2/3 guy before he hits the NHL.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Enough teams checked into Lindstrom's back, and I'm confident he'll be fine.
Great addition to the team, building solidly up the middle.

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

They better be 100000000% sure his back isn't an issue going forward.

Just such a risk. It's a big disappointment for me, personally.

 

[CalBuckeyeRob]

I am worried Demidov will be the better prospect.

I am worried that picking an 18 year old with a bad back is a chance to repeat the end of Nathan Horton's career before he even can become a productive NHL player.

 

[Frostybrew]

Did we keep our 2nd?

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Yakemchuk over Buium is another funny one. Wish we had another 1st rounder if this is the way this is going

 

[GoJackets1]

Buium is such a steal at any pick now

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

Kind of wonder if Seattle goes Dickinson.

 

[EspenK]

Way picks are going exposes risk of trading down.

2023: Fantilli in the 1st, Brindley in the 2nd

2024: Lindstrom in the 1st, Basha in the 2nd?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Did we keep our 2nd?

We have to the end of the first round to decide

 

[Fred Glover]

Maybe his underwear is a couple sizes too small

Like the pick, did not like how he walked to the st

 

[stevo61]

Imagine if Boston gave up on Bergeron when he was a concussion away from being done as fast as people want to give up on a kid because they hear back

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

Wow, that's a strange pick for Seattle. Thought for sure they'd go young D there.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[Frostybrew]

Can’t say I’m on cloud 9 like I would have been had we selected Demidov but a healthy Lindstrom is not too shabby.

 

[stevo61]

nevermind the on ice skill, how much compete and character the team has added these last 2 drafts is also off the charts

 

[ViD]

Can someone explain to me the Ducks pick ?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[stevo61]

Can someone explain to me the Ducks pick ?

Skill, size and still growing. The crazy risers usually work out. Wasnt long ago this was us with Dubois over Puljujarvi

 

[tunnelvision]

Gonna throw up if NJ picks Buium

 

[Viqsi]

Gonna throw up if NJ picks Buium

I'm predicting/"hoping" Eiserman.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Candid from Waddell saying we had a trade in place if we couldn't get Lindstrom. Makes me feel a bit better about it, at least we really wanted him it seems if we take it at face value.

Would be nice to have another pick in this round.

 

[aRussian]

The commentators keep complaining about teams not congratulating the Panthers for the cup. I'm personally glad that some of these teams are not laying it on thick and getting to business.

 

[Viqsi]

Silayev over Buium? Wow.
