HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[ReHabs]

Feels like Demidov will slip… too many similar options in the same tier and no Russian has been drafted out of Russia in the top5 in a very long time

 

[Jabba11]

Montreal is in a very good position no matter what. We need to relax.

Celebrini
Demidov
Levshunov
Dickinson
Silayev
Lindstrom

We will get one of these guys. If not happy, Konsta Helenius is also available. Voila!

 

[Ozmodiar]

Looking like Demidov to the Habs.

If they are willing to go Dickinson or Levshunov then yeah, no worry at all.

Absolutely, two D studs. I'm watching guys like Drew Dougthy and Pietrangelo and I think we can't be unhappy if landing one of these guys to add to Guhle, Rein and Hutson.

 

[Benstheman]

Who predicted Carlsson over Fantili last year?

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

The Flames owner is known for being cheap and shutting down deals his GM makes because he hate's retaining

I used to work for him and the running joke was about ‘The Legend of Murray’s Wallet’ cause we never saw it

 

[Vachon23]

With the Mailloux debacle a couple years back I think thats highly f****** unlikely.

The dream is Basha falls to 26, Lindstrom Basha in the 1st round would be quite the haul

I really like Basha but the dream for me is Sacha Boisvert. Would even call Toronto if he’s still there at their pick

I think Boisvert doesn't make it past the Islanders

 

[Jabba11]

Sacha Boisvert has balls. This kid has "gamer" all over him.

 

[WeThreeKings]

@WeThreeKings do you see us taking Koivu’s son in the second or third round?

I think that's the type of thing the team tries to avoid, but if they did it, he's a 3rd rounder.

I sure hope so and i think it is very probable.

Teams will always reach for D and C with size, high premium assets.

 

[jaffy27]

Drew Doughty one of them?

McCagg and co with the sick podcast did a mock draft. Grant took Sennecke at 5. Demidov was gone, so it was between him and Lindstrom.

Says he talks to a coach I believe he said of Sennecke and said he is at 6'4

That would be incredible.

You said Grant.

Sennecke he intrigues me

I don't see Silayev going by Anaheim. He's been the top D on Bob McKenzie's poll of NHL scouts most of the season. Methinks he's higher on the NHL teams lists than the public guides written up mostly by journalists. Looks like a Verbeek pick too. Verbeek was Stevie Y's right hand man in Detroit when they took Seider.

I know we don't need a goalie but while working on something I found this sick save from Ryerson Leenders,



Save - 0:17

Also a goal from Vanacker - 9:41

 

[calder candidate]

Demidov, Lindstrom, Catton, Dickinson, Buium, Iginla and Sennecke
To me those could all end up being worth the 5th.
But they also all have potential red flags…

this is a Magic Johnson tweet level of analysis

 

[TheBuriedHab]

In the past 10 years there's only been a few 6 foot wingers that have gone top 5. Lucas Raymond and Mitch Marner are the only ones that really come to mind.

Usually you have to be a center to go top 5 if you aren't a big boy. I think Demidov does slide to 5.

Thanks for your input! It was interesting to read your perspective.

I like Sennecke but I’d be really surprised if they pass on Lindstrom to take him.

In their mock draft Lindstrom fell to 10th I believe which seems ridiculous
