HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[SOLR]

was just watching my first Fowler game in the USHL from this past season, noticed Sacha Boisvert any relation to the former Habs scout? He looked pretty good and is going to North Dakota in a couple years.

I love Sacha, I think he could be in the top 20 if he keeps improving.

Not sure about the family links thing.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Kiviharju is the next Makar.

[Skip Bayless]

Better than Michkov

 

[WeThreeKings]

Gonna get Demidov at like 9 next year and people will relitigate Michkov

 

[SOLR]

Kiviharju is the next Makar.

Don't think so at all. More Quinn Hughes.

 

[BenchBrawl]

We'll draft 9th.

 

[SOLR]

We'll draft 9th.

We'll draft 1 and 2. Calgary will implode and finish dead last after many injuries. They'll win the lottery. We'll finish 26th (8th) and win the 2nd lottery.

We can only get CGY's 24 pick if it's a playoff spot and we elect to take it

Even if they finished 19th, nevermind top 10 we would not have their pick next year. The habs have an option 48hrs prior to the draft to select only if the pick is between 20-32

If the Panthers finish top 10 they get the Flames pick no matter what

 

[MasterMatt25]

Demidov is very good but I wouldn't say Michkov level

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

If the Panthers finish top 10 they get the Flames pick no matter what

in 2026 haha

[Egresch]

So I'm guessing you guys already found 7th round sleepers?

Sure, Habs will draft by need and select Ondrej Maruna, 6'4 center.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Demidov is very good but I wouldn't say Michkov level

He's going to better imo. He has the physical gifts Michkov doesn't while still being a similar talent level.

Take a break, guys!

From that list only Levshunov, Lavoie, Yakemchuk are over 6'1" and RD.
There goes the "tons of good D available in 2024 draft" factor (for us anyways).

They are 16/17 years old...

 

[Whitesnake]

I think our first pick is already carved in stone....Cole Hutson.

 

[Chadstudsky]

We are not better than any team in the Atlantic, only better than Philly in the Metro, better than coyotes, sharks, hawks in the west.

We'll be battling it out with Washington, Detroit, Nashville, Winnipeg, and Vancouver.

Top 10 pick guaranteed IMO. Odds being high of it being 7, 8 or 9.

Celebrini, Eiserman and Demidov will be gone, who is the next tier of forwards and where is the cutoff? Looking likely we get one in tier 2 assuming 3 or 4 D go after the big 3 up front

Catton
Helenius
Hage
Zetterberg
Vuollet
Brandsegg Nygard

I liked him more than Kiviharju at the U18s.

This year's U18s are in my city (and Vantaa, ew), so I'm taking some vacation and going to every game.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'd be on board with Hughes trading prospects and pick capital to ensure he gets one of Celebrini, Eiserman or Demidov. Will take a willing partner and an overpay likely, but that's the last missing piece of the build.
