I'm hoping that the defensemen are in a draftable spot for us. I'm starting to like the idea of Levshunov.

If we win the lottery, I'd take the centre.

If we miss, we should be bad enough to land one of the excellent Dmen behind him. Levshunov looks the part.

Seems like a good shape to be in.

They're all real names, no?
If you believe hard enough!

I’m really glad Levshunov is playing NCAA hockey this year. Between Smith, Celebrini, and Levshunov, it seems I’ll have a lot of college hockey to watch this year.
 
A lot can change in a year, but unless Celebrini falls off a cliff I can’t see us passing on him. The fact that he’s also a former JR sharks, while not a deal breaker or anything, is certainly a nice marketing attribute even if he wasn’t really home grown.
Celebrini is about as homegrown as we can get honestly. The franchise would definitely take it and run and hope it inspires a larger influx of kids into the program.
 
There are so many quality dmen in this draft. Levshunov, Mews, Dickinson, Jiricek, Hutson, Kivijaru.

That said, I really really hope we get Celebrini. Junior shark, elite center prospect, yes please. Then we can use 11th overall from Pitt and NJs 1st yo move into the top 6 and grab one of the top dmen.

Dream big!

Ok! And when Duclair and Zedina have amazing seasons we can get a couple 2'nds and flip them to a 1st! :jump:
 
As far as the Pens 1st round pick
What are y'alls thoughts on RW Sennecke or
RW Masse?
Two things:

1) We don't really have any idea where that pick will land, if we get it at all in 2024, and
2) I'd have to check and make sure those are actual real names of hockey players.

1st, we don't know where exactly either player ends up drafted
2nd. Lol, they're real draft prospects
Maxime Masse
Bennett Sennecke

Obviously the league isn't rigged but it's gonna be a shit show when Chicago wins the next 2 lotteries. The fans barely trust the league as is and in tandem with Chicago's baggage would really show that legacy matters over everything else in this league.

if we dont get #1 or 2, i really like the idea of Dickinson from London. Big shot from the left side, think he set the OHL record for goals by a 16 year old dman. Would be nice to have some puck moving skills from that side of the rink.

An often overlooked aspect of the Boyle/Burns/EK years is we could only move the puck from one side of the ice. Makes it much easier to gameplan around in the playoffs.

Fortunately, we're not in a position to worry about being overloaded by puckmoving defensemen who play one side over the other.

Dickinson is one of the names I'm excited to think about, though.

You're probably thinking Zayne Parekh for the OHL record. He had 21 goals as a 16 year old defenseman but I have heard he has enough flaws in his game that he won't be a top 10 pick.
