HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[Ezpz]

It doesn't surprise me, you missed my point. My point was that he's a 1 way forward like Mitchkov. And if you use him on the first line, it creates defensive weaknesses for the rest of the lineup. This is why he can't hang in the NHL, not his off-the-ice stuff. Evander Kane is also nearly impossible off the ice, yet every team wants him on the ice because he CAN play 2-way hockey.

These defensive weaknesses are different on large ice versus small ice. The number of stars in the KHL who are worse than Galchenyuk defensively would shock you.

Anton Silayev.

thoughts?

Really like what i see from him. 6’7 dman, 17 years old and already plays big minutes in the KHL.

Haven't watched him yet but he's gonna have some big time helium throughout the year like Simashev based on what I've read.

while watching Volokhin, his teammate Artur Faizov scored a nice goal,

Jumbo Dman who are not total klutz do end up getting a lot of hype more often than not. Even guys who are mostly klutzs still do end up going in the first round sometimes. It's the ultimate unicorn project for a lot of scouts, finding the next Victor Hedman.

Marinaro's podcast has influenced this board so heavily this summer........agreed though, this kid could even challenge for 1st OA if his development explodes this season.

I’ve seen him before Grant spoke about him, caught my eyes first game. He plays for the same team as Konyushkov. His start of the season peek some curiosity from some.

I remember this interview like yesterday

Good call, this kid is the real deal, just finished to watch his last game today and he was unreal in about all facets of the game. I dont recall a 6'7 210 lbs 17 yrs old kid with such mobility and puck poise. Dickenson and Luvshunov arent in the same league.

Our boy Bogdan had a quiet but very effective game, his mobility and passing skills are his bread and butter, he is great in transition, defends well, not very physical, but smart and highly combative in his puck battles. He process the game very quickly. Overall I think there is NHL potential there for sure.

Edit: I would add that Torpedo looks really impressive as a whole, their pace and puck possession game is high level, our kid is in very good hands with Larionov as head coach, he looks like a modern NHL coach, very alive and positive behind the bench, doesnt miss an opportunity to encourage his players, the synergy looks great.

Watched Zether against Frölunda today. Meh. Frölunda handled Rögle pretty easily, but there just wasn't anything to write home about in Zether's performance. Responsible defensively, couple nice passes.

71 on Frölunda looked a bit interesting. Big boy who can skate.

where do we fall on Trevor Connelly?

where do we fall on Trevor Connelly?

Liked him at the Hlinka this summer.

 

[WeThreeKings]

where do we fall on Trevor Connelly?

Has off ice incident regarding anti semitism, doubt we'd take the back lash even if he may be working at overcoming it and learning.

Any surprises on Bob's list?

It's gotta be Karl Sterner, big RW. He was impressive at the Hlinka, mostly playing on his off wing.

 

[WeThreeKings]

as a player tho?

Offensively he's very talented, I'm gonna have to watch more as I wasn't impressed with his overall game but he was deadly on the pP

 

[Riggins]

I'm not even greedy for 1st overall, give me Catton at #5 or 6 and let's call it a day.

 

[G0bias]

Interesting to note scouts had nearly same amount of #2 votes for Demidov as Eiserman.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Catton is a massive possibility if we pick around 7.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Any surprises on Bob's list?

He says Silayev came out of nowhere 3 weeks ago
