HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[SwiftyHab]

If we can draft both Demidov and Boisvert, I don’t know how my night finish but I’m probably going at a bar and will pay a lot of shot

What bar?

 

[Vachon23]

What bar?

In Victoriaville

 

[Benstheman]

I agree that except for Demidov and Celebrini, Only Sennecke and Catton have top line potential.

 

[Hannibal]

If we miss out on Lindstrom, i want Hughes to break the draft picks bank to get Boisvert.

Boisvert gonna be a player.

 

[EveryDay]

So I guess of of these 3 are going to MTL

Lindstrom
Sennecke
Demidov

 

[Schooner Guy]

Levshunov is by far the best dman prospect of this draft (and last draft). I can't see him falling to 5OA but if he's there you take it and run.

There are a lot of hockey people who will disagree as there are a lot questions regarding his IQ, reads and defensive play. Levshunov is top D on a lot of lists but many lists coming out now are showing Buium as their top D. Bobby Mac's poll of scouts has had Silayev as the top D all year. Like the forwards after Celebrini, there is no consensus on the D prospects.

You think there will be a maximum of 4 top line players from the entire draft, and they will be from those 4?

Listened to the latest Pronman/Wheeler/Peters mock where they try to pick based on what they are hearing and think the teams would do.

• Belief is still Levshunov goes to 2 to Chicago.
• Anaheim may be interested in some of the forwards but the need is more on the back-end, think they'll go with Silayev.
• Lindstrom to CBJ
• Demidov to MTL - a bit of talk about how they would prefer Lindstrom but if he's gone, the easy decision and belief is that they'd go and take Demidov.
• Iginla didn't enter the conversation until Calgary and they went Parekh. Most teams don't really have top 7 reads on Iginla at this point.
• Sennecke went 6 to Utah. NHL scouts keep telling Pronman, Peters etc. that Sennecke isn't getting beyond Utah/Ottawa at 6 and 7. Always that he's going higher than they've mocked him previously. Teams outside the top 10 have basically given up hope they'll be able to pick this player.
• They then went on to say some believe that he could go as high as 5 to Montreal if Lindstrom/Demidov are gone.
• There was a little bit of discussion around Buium and Parekh for Montreal, but they all felt things being equal with Demidov or Sennecke there and the depth Montreal has on defense that it'd be hard to go in that direction if you really felt there was top line upside in those forwards.
• Pronman wanted to get us Boisvert but he went a pick ahead so took Surin.

Habs and Jackets probably switch picks. Laine ends up in Montreal

GM can we keep the Suzuki talk and trade offers to their respective threads please? Thread is already hard to keep up with.

Today fans think Levshunov will be available? Seems like Demidov Drouin-like youtube highlights package dominating the MHL and Lindstrom ridiculous Lindros comp has fanbases wetting themselves.

Man I hope Lindstrom goes ahead of us so Demidov drops to us. Taking Lindstrom over him would be a big mistake IMO

We won’t have to choose between them, we can only hope that one of them will be available

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Eh, I wouldn't care much if Lindstrom is gone. 9 on my list, but on the same tier as guys like Buium, Iginla, Catton, Dickinson, Sennecke, Levshunov for me.

Demigod is on a tier of his own under Celebrini IMO

If you keep posting stuff about the draft in the IQ thread, I'm going to have to report you.

Thanks for the info

Not getting my hopes up for Ivan lol.
But if we do i'll be trolling the shit out of other salty fanbases.

Otherwise like hearing they're bulish on Sennecke, the only other swing left at a top line forward with size.

 

[PavelBrendl]

There’s only 2 players I’m convinced won’t be available at 5, and that’s Celebrini and Levshunov. If Chicago don’t take Lev, Anaheim has to - at #3 I see him as both BPA and filling their biggest immediate need.

 

[Ozmodiar]

A) Chicago takes Levshunov:

Trade up with Anaheim (their #1 target is gone), take Demidov.

B) Chicago takes Demidov:

Trade down with Calgary (our #1 target is gone, they secure Iggy). Cal adds late first.
- pick catton, sennecke or Helenius at 9
- trade 2 late firsts to move up to ~ 15.

You like my crop of hockey boys??? Levu kills me. I'd like to have him on the team just to look at him for the memes lol.

Yeah, he really has endless comedic value. I sorta wish we had him just for that That and he's legit good, obviously.

 

[G0bias]

@Goldenhands Are you still saying we go Helenius?

 

[WeThreeKings]

@Goldenhands Are you still saying we go Helenius?

He's not even going in the top 10

 

[Benstheman]

4 top line forward for a draft is alot no??

Yeah those 4 are my best bet.
