GDT: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

Holy shit Utah making moves

 

[Sdrawkcab321]

We sure don’t have a lack of prospect defensemen

 

[Ice9]

Wanted a shut down guy so why the concern about lack of being a puck mover? I wanted a punisher...

Like the Elick pick, nice to be adding some big, mean and physical guys lately

David Savard clone (as a pro, not a prospect) who can skate?

Gudbranson is a closer comp than Savard imo. Savard was an offensive D in juniors and even though was forced to simplify his offense in the NHL he never lost the poise and smarts with the puck. Elick is physically and defensively advanced player who hopefully can improve his offense (breakouts in particular) with a right development plan.

Wow Utah getting Sergachev and Marino!?

Utah not messing around.

How is day 2 so much more entertaining than day 1

 

[JacketsFanWest]

It would have been nice for the Jackets to get Badinka since he's rather underrated despite playing big minutes as an 18 year old in the SHL. He kept things simple, so not really showing off the same skill playing in a men's league as playing in a junior league.

But more physical, shut-down type defensemen who can skate isn't bad to add to the prospect pool.

As Don said, teams are not focused on Round 1 anymore

 

[NotWendell]

It's been eerily quiet on the CBJ front.

Gardner was unreal on a good team this year

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Compared to Shesterkin? I’m in

 

[tunnelvision]

Seems like I'll be purchasing CHL-tv pass for WHL next year.

Trade details

 

[Jovavic]

Montreal takes Saku Koivu's kid

Vegas trades a goalie, making room for Elvis? Lol

 

[koteka]

I have wanted an earlier round goalie for years. Two big guys who will fight plus a goalie in the first two rounds? I am liking the Waddell regime. But who is drafting the short forwards with skill?
