HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[WeThreeKings]

Obviously I expect picks to move, but if we got Lindstrom/Demidov/Catton and then one of Boisvert/Hage/Letourneau

I'd love to use a 3rd rounder on Justin Poirier too.

Seems like an interesting sleeper. Purely looking at stats, all he's ever done in his career is score goals at every level, a bit like Caufield.

Small kid and is all about the shot. He's got a physical game for his size, too.

I just want so badly to get down to the 5th or even 4th spot. Give us a lottery shot at Celebrini. That would be the best thing we could ever hope for.

Second dream is Demidov

Konsta Helenius with an assist today. What would be the best way for me to watch his full games? For those that do watch him more regularly is any part of his game elite ?

 

[FrankMTL]

There's no way we take Kiviharju tho

No agreed. I would rather use that pick on Boisvert or Basha. Even Maxime Masse intrigues me... 8 goals in his last 10 games

He is really good playmaker. He creates space for his teammates. He play C/RW, but I will put my money that he is going to be a RW at NHL level. He have high offensive talent, for sure.

Streams.

And no, he has no elite skill. He's the start of that next tier, I'd put Catton ahead of him squarely because of his tools being better.

Lindstrom vs. Demidov may be our debate. Who do you guys go with?

They'll go with Lindstrom

 

[Gustave]

They'll go with Lindstrom

You, if you can choose one of those two, who's your guy?

 

[le_sean]

Just imagining the top 6 with Cayden Lindstrom on it. Let’s hope the Habs have a shot at him

Demidov rn

Great play! In the NHL he would have gotten killed cutting across like that though.

FC Hockey has released their Mid Term Mock Draft

They have the Habs picking Demidov at 8th

FCHockey's Midterm mock for the 2024 NHL Draft

We're through the midway mark of the 2024 NHL Draft season, so it's time to mock it up with a look at how the first round could shake down.

I would definitely be happy with that.

It would be cool if we could NYI's 1st round pick. They've traded it every year and they need D. Around 14-15, we should be able to get one of Greentree, Hemming or Sennecke.

Helenius is another skater which looks slow on his feet to me. Not a lot of dynamic movement coming from his play. I ranked him much lower than initially thought. Still looking for vids, but that's the overall impression I get.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

I'm pretty impressed with Sam Dickinson. I think if the Habs don't win the draft lottery he would make a great pick for the Habs.

Does Lindstrom have what it takes to be a stud 1C in the NHL?

You, or anyone else watch Sennecke ?

Just looking at the numbers, so stat watching, a very minor improvement points wise from last year doesn't instill confidence in him

 

[vokiel]

He certainly has the aggressor skating and the release to perform in the NHL. Not sure a stud 1C for the Habs though. Would need to be more 200 feet, but that can always do for 2C? Him behind Suzuki would be pretty damn threatening in the medium term.

Was hoping for a C better than Suzuki.

 

[Jaynki]

The first we acquired with Monahan may end up a critical ammo if we are looking to move up a spot or two in the draft to secure a wanted prospects.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I want us to use the Winnipeg draft pick, historically that range is where Gorton/Bobrov are actually quite good

 

[SOLR]

They'll go with Lindstrom

I don't think so, I think it's very apparent we need another offensive driver and Lindstrom isn't that.
