HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[Deebs]

At least if Chicago goes Demidov, I'm gonna win a 100 bucks and if we take Buium I'm getting 150 bucks.

Could be a nice windfall for me if the draft goes to hell for the Habs.

It's all about the positives

and so Chicago will take Levshunov and the Habs will take Sennecke.

As we speak, TSN staffers are busy putting Bob under a cold shower, propping him up with black coffee and dodging empty cans of margarita. Can't wait to see his list in a few hours

Bob is ready. He's got a few Bobby Margaritas in him by now.

I'm fine with that outcome.

Mark’s got this figured out.

For me, I think Iginla is the safest prospect in the Top 10 along with Dickinson (after Celebrini). I think both Iginla and Dickinson are basically guaranteed top 6 forward and top 4 defenseman. After that, do they have the highest upside? No, neither of them do, but I think the upside is still definitely high.

Lindstrom to me does it with brute strength and force. Ignila good shot yes, but touch of Suzuki hockey smart in him. Sennecke is late upcomer. I am skeptical of moving players way up based on small sample size. After did same with Kostitsyn and Kotkaniemi. If we want Sennecke I would trade down 2 or 3 slots, gain asset use it to move 26 into Dach type player. Not Necas though, I think he wrong fit.

LOL I did the same shit

Sennecke reminds me of a Batherson type. I think he is a top 6F in the NHL but will take a while.

Skating, Consistency, and forcing plays. Those are red flags for me when talking 5th OA standards. If we had a pick from 10-13, I'd be all over him as our pick.

I actually don't think his passing is that good. It's alright but I don't consider it a strength with the highlights I have watched. This guy is going to be more of a power forward type with good hands and a good shot. Going to have good edge work with that frame and hard to move off the puck. He's the type that is at his best when he is playing north/south and the puck is on his stick.

I don't have much to add to the players discussion anymore so I'll just add this : I hope this year's video post draft is better than last year.

I hope our scouting directors actually tell us about the players we draft.

Oh you don't want to watch clips awkwardly asking how you'd react to seeing a granny robbed at an ATM

My money would be on the Jackets taking Lindstrom. Center and a drowning Gaudreau is fresh on their minds. They need serious center injection on that roster. Both in the future and now.

Sharks (Celebrini)
Hawks (Demidov)
Ducks (Dickinson or one of the D)
Jackets (Lindstrom)

Omg Sounds like Levshunov could be there for us.

I would love to

My prediction at Bob's new top 15. Colors below are my waives. I have moved Lindstrom and Iggy in the 3rd waive. Sennecke on the cusp of that 3rd waive but not in it. However, there is a chance Sennecke leap frogs Catton.

1) Celebrini
2) Demidov
3) Silayev
4) Dickinson
5) Lindstrom
6) Iginla
7) Levshunov
8) Buium
9) Parekh
10) Catton
11) Sennecke
12) Helenius
13) Eiserman
14) Yakemchuk
15) Connelly

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

I'll guess the updated top 10 for McKenzie is:

1. Celebrini
2. Levshunov
3. Demidov
4. Silayev
5. Lindstrom
6. Buium
7. Sennecke
8. Parekh
9. Dickinson
10. Iginla

You think Dickinson's Memorial Cup will have dropped him 3 spots?

I think he is a candidate to slip a bit. I have him 7-9 range. I think he is a very solid top 4D and kind of a Reinbacher type quality. Going to be good all around type.

I like his game but I have others as targets before him. So many guys to like in that 2-10 mix.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'm just going with everything I've heard since the combine.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Not with me. I think he moves Levshunov down but not sure if he leap frogs Silayev.

We’ll find out in 1-hr

 

[Whitesnake]

Not saying the best scenario...but the scenario with less drama would be..

Celebrini
Demidov
Lindstrom
Sennecke

If a forward, you go Iginla without even trying. The only question then it's....but what about the D? But in essence, there is rarely a D that will make you say what if....WAY less than a 90-point forward....

any other scenario...like having to choose between Iginla and Sennecke....or imagine the Habs passing on Demidov....geez...

Trying to measure myself on what the movement will be after the combine and now that the U18's and playoffs are done.

Lindstrom

I think Sennecke at 4 is a lot of drama. I'm willing to bet money that does not happen.

Not my pick at 4. And not talking about the overall drama. Talking about OUR drama. Having to choose. Passing on players etc.

 

[Kents polished head]

At this point in time I just take two things for granted;
1. There is going to be drama.
2. We're not going to go with the logical pick.

These two facts are given with the Habs these days.
