2024 NHL Draft Thread Part 2 - Picks 2 & 18 in the 1st Round

[dreadpirateroberts]

Wonder if a trade of McGroarty , Ehler's and Jet's 2025 1st rder for Blackhawk 2nd Overall this year 'would work ?

That is an resounding no from the Hawks

 

[Kevin Musto]

Levshunov looks about as exciting a pick as trying to sneak out a fart and shitting your pants in public.

Speaking from personal experience?

 

[hawksfan50]

The #18 targets in the range from16-21 that KD couid be deciding on unless somebody rankedvin the top 15 on the BobMckenzie final ranking (10 NHL scouts poll) falls and whom they like better(?):

16.Adam Jiricek RD
17.Micael Brdsegg-Nygaard RW
18.Liam Greetnree w
19.Jett LuchanloC/RW
20 STIAN SOLBER GLD
21 Chernyshov
24 .Michael Hage C/RW

I think Greentree is out..does not check the skating box for KD.

If they take Demidov at#2 then need at RD may prevail and IF Jiricek there ,I think KD may bite.

Even though we are stronger in pipeline at LD, would still take Solberg over Jiricek . I THINK HAWKS NEED MORE physicality on D..


If they take Levshunov at #2, they will not Double down on RD with Jiricek if still on the board at#18 ..they could go Solberg and forgoe any forward in first round in such scenario..but I think KD would take a forward ...Brandsegg-Nygaard * /Luchanko* Chernyshov*/ or Hage* if still on the board ..Oneonta two of these forwards likely picked before 18. Do not know how KD's board ranks them.

Justc aying...barring a trade using thec18th pick,these seem to be likeliest scenarios for the pick.

I honestly hope we get Stian Solberg just for you. I will be thinking of you on the weekend, Fiddy. Not unlike basically every other weekend

Wonder who teams are targeting

Let me interpret.

Up your offers or f*** off.

 

[HeisenBaez]

Yep.

But I wonder what type of offer would it take for Kyle from Chicago to pull the trigger?

 

[Kevin Musto]

I just can't believe that there are teams who even think there's a player head and shoulders above the rest that is worth moving up to 2nd overall to grab.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Wonder who teams are targeting

maybe a team in top 5-10 know that hawks are leaning defense and want to see if they'll move back and be ok with dickinson, buium etc instead of levshunov and move up team would take a forward

Could be the guy they think is their man

I can.

They'd be wrong to think that.

And if Kyle Davidson is turning them down for Levshunov, then he's even more wrong than they are.

That's why its not Lev . Who has been talked about with the highest upside ?

 

[Wally1112pac]

They'd be wrong to think that.

Bobby Mac's list says otherwise.

 

[Geoist]

They want Demidov. That is the only logical explanation.

It was a prank phone call.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Barely.

40% of polled scouts don't have him at 2.

 

[ndgt10]

Barely.

40% of polled scouts don't have him at 2.

But 40% of those scouts were Hawks scouts. Coincidence?

 

[Wally1112pac]

Barely.

40% of polled scouts don't have him at 2.

60% of the scouts think he's the 2nd best player in the draft.

30% think it's Levshunov.

I forget who has that last 10% and no other player got a vote for 2nd best.

In a vote for the 2nd best player in the draft, Demidov got 6 of the 10 votes.

By that definition there is a consensus that he is "head and shoulders" above the rest.

Just nod in agreement with Bob.

 

[bwanajamba]

Barely.

40% of polled scouts don't have him at 2.

Winning 60-40 against the field is a landslide. Then factor in all of the other scouts and services that have Demidov at 2. It's a clear consensus

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Hawks fans if you're a betting man/woman who are you guys selecting at 2? Levshunov or Demidov?

Betting gonna say leshunov but nothing has been leaked other then a local beat guy saying it’s him

 

[Kevin Musto]

Draft simulator has been updated with Bob's list.

Had a couple good runs...
