HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[Balthazar]

The 2021 Draft was done via video conferencing with the NHL broadcasting out of the NHL Netwark studios in NJ.

Maybe it was just some sort of parlor trick, as opposed to reporting, but he wasn’t eavesdropping live.

I remember watching the draft on TSN a few years ago and it was very clear that Bob was told who was the pick like a minute before it was announced. He'd casually start talking about each kid that was about to get drafted and you knew it was a spoiler. Very infuriating.

Howie Morenz

Well done.

The Demidov hunt has started.

It’s the NHL. It’s a bunch of Ken Hollands fighting to try and draft 6’7 Silayev.

 

[Playmaker09]

Basha won't be there at 26. He does too many things.

Its the same story every year. Guys like Emery, Elick, Badinka, Hemming, Letourneau will pass him and he'll likely end up drafted lower than his 30th overall raking on Bob'a final list.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I mean, the NHL kind of screwed TSN/Bell Media by swerving to Sportsnet at the last minute because Bettman hated their CEO.

I'd be petty too.

I thought I'd read it was a slapback at ESPN. They're associated with TSN and ESPN didn't step up on a hockey deal....

That could be but he was in semi-retirement in 2021 and not on TV. That’s why he was tweeting about every pick, presumably from home.

Buium ain't going 3, Ducks don't need another left shot D in that style (neither do we but alas), and teams are calling Chicago for Silayev or Levshunov. It's not for Demidov, we went through this last year when everyone thought the trade up calls were for Michkov but it was for Reinbacher

 

[sheed36]

For me it seems to be shaping up to be one of either Demidov, Sennecke, or Buium for the Habs @ 5 and likely in that order.

The current Fanduel odds for the 2/3/4 draft order.

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

I feel very good about us drafting either Lindstrom or Demidov at #5. I ain't worried.

 

[Riggins]

My question is if Sennecke goes 3, does CBJ go Lindstrom or Silayev?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Still Lindstrom I think.

 

[Lockin17]

Beckett Sennecke = Tyson Foerster ?
Cayden Lindtsrom = Quinten Byfield ?
Berkly Catton = Zach Benson ?
Tig Iginla = Ridley Greig ?
Cole Eiserman = Cole Caufield ?
Konsta Helenius = Anton Lundell ?
Ivan Demidov = Kirill Kaprizov

 

[The Last Red]

There’s literally no scenario involving picks 2-4 where we don’t get the chance to draft an elite prospect at 5 - at least one of Demidov, Lindstrom, Levshunov or Buium will be there. If we don't draft an elite prospect, it will be because HuGo chose not to.

Well i hope he goes for BPA and not Positioning

 

[Lockin17]

I would not mind Silayev , Big stay home D with a physical presence , you need thoses guy's.
You can't have Hutson, Buium, Barron, playing forwards and not have a D like Silayev or Reinbacher.

#5 = Silayev
#26 = Artamanov
Would be a great draft

With Bodgan , all 3 from Torpedo

Silayev-Bodgan would be a great D line

Sheesh it's gonna be crazy

wow can't wait

 

[The Last Red]

Zero interest in him at 5. None.

 

[Balthazar]

Marinaro with Demidov

 

[The Last Red]

Marinaro with Demidov

Which one is Demidov?

 

[Lockin17]

Which one is Demidov?

The guy in the back

 

[MtlSars]

Worst possible scenario.

Oh boy are you in for a rude awakening if you think that's the worst outcome.....

 

[Jaynki]

Maybe a few massive bets from people who had inside information on our pick?

That would be my guess
