I'd trade anything and everything to get Celebrini. I don't have confidence in Smith to be a top end guy and I don't think the rebuild goes anywhere or even has a real direction until you get a guy to build around. Celebrini is that to me but Smith is not. I would trade our #1 at 3, Smith, and Pittsburgh's pick if it got it done. I don't think there's as much depth in this draft to worry about moving pieces if it secures a legitimate franchise prospect. But I also suspect most teams potentially winning that lottery understand that too and would have an even more outlandish ask.

We're not getting Buium (unless we draft him with our own 1st)

What the deuce
I am realistically hoping for Yakemchuk with the Pens pick in the 11-15 range. I think Eiserman and Dickinson easily go before him draft day.

I'm not sold yet, but if that's the consensus at draft time, then I'll get on board.

Is there someone you are sold on at #2?
Eiserman under Connolly and Yakemchuk seems crazy. I’m not huge on Eiserman but I think people are going a bit overboard dropping him like that.
Caufield stinking it up definitely isn't helping him, since he has been the "reasonable" projection most scouts have used for a while.
He's still only a couple of days away from being in the 2025 Draft instead of this one, definitely some additional upside from that.

I do like both Connolly and Yakemchuk a lot but yes I agree. Do we know why Eiserman is dropping? Doesn’t seem like something with his play. Is it just a case of he can only prove so much at his current level? Or is it more of others guys are rising?

Just as a general trend, I feel like once a guy has established elite production, he gets more nit-picking. But also, Eiserman hasn’t taken any steps from last year, which isn’t really a good sign. I’d take him around the 6-8 slot, but that list seems like he’s more like 10ish.

Absolutely not, I think what you've been saying is right... It's celebrini and then a mess.

One thing that gives me hope about our “easier” schedule is that I imagine we’re going to make some trades by the deadline if not earlier and then have rookies come up, much like last year. I expect us to end the season pretty poorly.
I’m really hoping the lack of clarity after Celibrini will lead to a highly regarded player dropping to the pens pick hopefully a D.
I have also seen some list Levshunov as low as the teens.

I feel like 2024 will be a draft that MG will trade up with that PIT 1st round pick and our high 2nd round pick to get a guy he likes in the scenario of said player starting to drop. Hopefully it's one of the defencemen, and other GM's miss out.
But in another scenario I have a feeling like it's going to be one of those draft year that one of the real gems will be drafted later than earlier, since it's so spread wide. So that PIT 1st round and our high 2nd round pick could come in use and you get multiple shots at drafting future contributers.
If Sharks don't get Celebrini or Lindstrom and draft #3 overall I hope they go all on defencemen with both of their 1st round picks. Since it's clear that's their biggest need and there seems to be a lot of them available.
It's important to draft them asap and develop them so they can start contributing once we are good again. I have a dream of Sharks drafting two of Levshunov, Buium, Parekh or Silayev in this case.
I feel like Levs/Buium and Parekh can be a possible scenario if Pittsburgh don't make the playoffs and are in that 11-15 area.

He might start separating himself at #2 as well. What a phenom
Demidov seriously heating up with 15 points in his last 7 games. Don't think there is any chance of the Sharks drafting him, but would be good if he solidifies himself as the #2 prospect in case the Sharks end up picking 3.
Never know, there were special reasons for not picking Michkov. So far there are none of those red flags with Demidov, other then being Russian.

I feel like the only real tank competition is Chicago. Columbus has 14 more points than us in the standings, they’re not gonna threaten us.
put me in coach. I promise I will try.
