HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[vokiel]

Basu - Godin

If Silayev is there, I think the Habs consider it. I don't think they think he'll be there.

People need to really need to be prepared for Sennecke to go high. Maybe not 5th, but he's going to go high

That's saying nothing about nothing. Every team is going to consider everyone in that 2-10 range if they are there at their spot.

Then they'll all realize the gentleman is in the KHL for 3 more war driven years, and go... Oh... Maybe it doesn't bother them.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Silayev… lol

Just what we need, a LHD that won’t be here for 3+ years.

 

[Jabba11]

Another take is I don't understand why we are so high on Cayden Lindstrom when he only played 32 games. I just wished we had more viewing of him. His play coming back from surgery was not the best, but that was expected.

Galchenyuk played 33 games but scored 61 pts. Much more than Lindstrom's 46. And Galchenyuk had a tremendous D-1 season with 83 pts.

Yes they're in different leagues, differents frames, etc. But, no matter what, Lindstrom is unproven. His projected ranking is based on assumptions and his raw physical attributes/skills. I don't see a franchise player in him. But that's my take, nothing more. He's still a very great prospect and would bring a lot to our team, but comes with more risks than we think. To which point is he good amongst his peers because of his physical advantage?

I have concerns as well.

Iginla is my guy, full stop.

I think you are confusing Galchenyuk's D season with his D plus one. Only 6 regular season games or something for Gally in 2011-12.

As for Lindstrom, it's entirely possible a perspective might be limited to the part of the season they saw from him. If the sample was the Hlinka + playoff then yeah, I didn't see a top 5 player whatsoever.....yet a complete overview most certainly required some watches at his best too.

I suddenly want Silayev

 

[Jaynki]

If the Silayev hype is real,

It means one of Demidov, Lindstrom or Levshunov is there for us at 5.

We are in business.

You are correct. Even worst hahahahaha Andrei Kostitsyn is another one that only played 6 games. To Galchenyuk's defense, he did have a very dominant D-1 season which gave reason for his selection. Lindstrom D-1 was good for his age and first year but Galchenyuk had double his points. More reason to wishing we had more to see from Lindstrom.

Stop drinking the Kool-Aid

That’s exactly right.

And Habs brass goes full big brain and select Sennecke. I’m not ready for the violence that would befall my city.

Les Canadiens de Montreal, sont friererere de selelectionnier......

From the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League...

Bucket, Seneca.

 

[Whitesnake]

Sucks to not see Sennecke....again. One guy I can't wait to see improve next year....Roobreck. Add some foot speed to this guy and he'll be a monster.

Galchenyuk only played 2 regular season games (0 points) and 6 playoff games (4 points) in his 2012 draft year. You're talking about when he scored the season after he was drafted when he scored 61 points in 33 games which was also the same season he made the Habs in January immediately after the NHL lockout.

Morgan Reilly also only played 18 games in that same 2012 draft year.

 

[Playmaker09]

Silayev… lol

Just what we need, a LHD that won’t be here for 3+ years.

He's not my guy, but to be fair he did spend the majority of the year on the right side.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Briere and Keith Jones are in Oshawa tonight watching Generals vs Knights. Flyers have a couple of high end prospects playing for London and of course there's Dickinson to watch. No Sennecke in the lineup for them to watch though.

Generals are up 3-0 in the 1st. Here's hoping they can hang on to increase the chances of seeing Sennecke again this season.

Lidstrom give me Wickenheiser vibes

Yup you are correct. But his D-1 year was dominant. More dominant than Lindstrom's D-1.

 

[Playmaker09]

Someone needs to sit Boilard down Joshua Roy style and ask him if he really wants an NHL career.

His effort level is abysmal and is probably the most passive player I've watched all year, which is a shame because the tools are there to be a low-end 2C if he actually applied himself.

 

[Hacketts]

Lidstrom give me Wickenheiser vibes

Hayley or Doug?

 

[Rob Sense]

Yup you are correct. But his D-1 year was dominant. More dominant than Lindstrom's D-1.

yes but he had some weird chemistry with Yakupov...they both flamed out.

 

[le_sean]

Yup you are correct. But his D-1 year was dominant. More dominant than Lindstrom's D-1.

Yeah the argument holds no merit when both he and Yakupov turn out to be shit players. Good enough for the CHL but neither had the traits to succeed at the next level. Lindstrom has the size, the skating, the physicality and the shot to be a force.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Silayev will go in the top 4. You think Trevor Timmins and John Davidson are gonna pass on a 6'7 defenseman?

The real important question is how much can he benchpress?!

 

[WeThreeKings]

Basu was just mentioning that Iginla and Sennecke while risers are gonna be higher on the final lists than they are now.

Said people gotta get comfortable with the idea with Sennecke at 5, not saying they will pick him for sure but that it's a possibility.

Said if Chicago passes Demidov might fall to 5 but obviously it's not super likely but it's possible.

Demidov, Lindstrom, Iginla/Sennecke look like the top 4 options there. Basu wouldn't kill Silayev being the pick if he's there but the belief is that hes going in the top of the draft, as is Levshunov.

Basus suggesting Sennecke possible at 5 now...

I'm starting to think that the Habs have Sennecke higher than Lindstrom.
