HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[SannywithoutCompy]

I think the 5th overall pick had been discussed at ad naseum, so...


How about some targets that are ranked around a later pick you'd like to see the Habs select ?

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Eiserman

Mailloux is much closer to the NHL.

And yet he's not there, and we're talking about him starting in Laval. If I was San Jose, I'd decline. The difference between 33 and 26 isn't great either.

If Mailloux starts in Laval it will only be because he his still exemp from waivers. In the same vein, be prepared to see Hutson in Laval. That is unless they trade Harris and Kovacevic. Barron will not be traded. Some are just panicking about him. He is at least as good as Matheson or Petry at the same age.

The point is Jiricek is a prospect that's gonna be available at 26 anyway. Jiricek+Mailloux+wtv > the package the Sharks currently have.

I doubt that, but anything is possible.

I hope they get one of Boisvert or Emy Lemming at 26th

 

[Balthazar]

Eiserman

I miss Mike Hoffman, too.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Find a way to get Demidov, that’s all.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I'm warming up to Teej. I like his inside game a lot. He reminds me of the winger version of Suzuki.

At this point, I do still favor Lindstrom and Demigod, but any of Buium/Dicky/Parekh or Eiserman/Iginla/Catton would be welcomed with arms wide opahn.

This draft feels like 2003. Can't go wrong.

Unless we're going completely off the board, we're getting a good player who's going to help us.

DEMIGOD. Love that nickname.

That being said I'm quickly warming up to Tij as well. I love the idea of him being our pick.

 

[The Great Weal]

I do think we'd draft Sennecke over Iginla.

 

[KevSkillz4]

I do think we'd draft Sennecke over Iginla.

That will be a great pick. Iginla is my favorite since the beginning, but the tools of Sennecke looks more unique.

Sennecke is a top 10 talent for sure. Picking him at 5, will be a great pick.

Of course, this is just what I think, but with us passing on Leonard last year for a player that has more tools in Reinbacher, it does seem like management values unique traits a lot. This was the case with Slafkovsky. Not to mention that we passed up on trading the pick for Gauthier who's likely in the same tier as Iginila and Leonard.

I believe that Sennecke or Iginla have more potential than Leonard or Gauthier even if I believe they are both great players aswell.

To me, I understand Reinbacher over Leonard or Benson, but the player I really upset we pass on it's Matvei Michkov (that would be their Artem Panarin for the Habs). If Demidov is there at 5, that would change everything.

Still working my list but since you ask, assuming that the 18 guys never out of top 20 would be out:
Igor Chernyshov (should not be there )
Ryder Ritchie
Terik Parascak
Jett Luchanko

Stian Solberg
Adam Jiricek

Sennecke over Iginla and i will break HF on my ow

But we did go wrong in 2003!

 

[Skip Bayless]

That’s exactly what Sennecke is to me. Massive overthinker, narcissistic pick.

 

[Naslund]

I do think we'd draft Sennecke over Iginla.

0% chance of this happening.

 

[Nicko999]

Yes, if Hughes is serious about getting a forward he needs to trade up to the 2nd overall position. We will hate the price but it needs to be done.

After Celebrini, Demidov the next 5 best players are all D-man so it will be unforgivable to pick the forwards simply because this is a need.

 

[Runner77]

I do think we'd draft Sennecke over Iginla.

If Sennecke were to slip past the 10 OA, how aggressively should Hughes pursue him?

 

[The Great Weal]

There’s zero chance he slips past 10. Big, smart, toolsy kid who exploded in the later half of the season will be highly touted. We won’t have any realistic assets to trade for a pick to draft him.

I do think we'd draft Sennecke over Iginla.

Now the question is....would they take him ahead of Lindstrom.
