GDT: 2024 NHL Entry Draft, at The Sphere in Vegas, Friday, June 28, 7 p.m. edt | SN, TVA Sports, ESPN, NHLN

[Rapala]

Son of a bitch that takes away the option to trade with BUF
If we could turn that 26 into a teen mannnn, cmon boys

It does set a market price we could easily match with 26th and something else I would think.

 

[The Great Weal]

Is going from Skinner to Necas that big of an upgrade?

Sabres definitely needed another soft, perimeter player, offense-only forward. They only have like 10 of them.

 

[FrankMTL]

It's going to be a Grand Cru classé fueled shitposting maelstrom.

I wouldn't expect anything less. Aye aye captain!

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I have a feeling we're taking Silayev if he's there (which I'm totally at peace with due to his long-term upside of impacting a game) and @KevSkillz4 spends the entire Canada Day weekend playing mailbox baseball.

@KevSkillz4 hit me up in this scenario I can be the designated hitter while you drive

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Well well well. If it indeed goes

Levshunov
Silayev
Lindstrom
Demidov

We will be really happy with this going forward. Yet it seems like good picks for everyone, as long as Lindstrom is healthy.

 

[GrandmaCookie]

Maybe San jose really wants Celibrini buddy Eiserman and after earing Montreal’s interest for him aquired a better pick to secure him.

Haha, @KevSkillz4 is always on my mind when there is mention of the Habs and Silyaev in the same breath.

Don’t care so long as we aren’t the one holding the bag. Lol

 

[CHfan1]

f*** me.......They gave a second round pick to move up 3 spots? Good deal for the Sabres. Strange that the Sabres made this deal before knowing who was going to be available at 11th,.

Very similar to the 2019 trade between Arizona and Philadelphia. Arizona gave up picks 14 & 45 to acquire pick 11.

 

[sheed36]

I still have a feeling the Habs are gonna end up drafting Sennecke @ 5 if there. They'll also have Price back to announce the pick and he'll call him either Biscuit or Brisket instead of Beckett.

Yakmechuk or Parekh

They have nothing of value in the back end within their prospects

Sure, but tbh, if health was not a concern, then Lindstrom looks even better than Demidov.

Can you imagine the type of havoc a top 6 with Slafkovsky, a healthy Dach and a healthy Lindstrom could do in the playoffs? That's a hell of a lineup with size when you add them to the Caufield, Suzuki and our solid depth pieces.

Demidov is likely to be the better regular season performer with a question mark to the playoffs. With what we know, Demidov is he more interesting pick, but with what GMs know, the answer might be different.

 

[sampollock]

lets hope

1- San Jose Sharks: Macklin Celebrini (C)
2- Chicago Blackhawks: Artyom Levshunov (DD)
3- Anaheim Ducks: Anton Silayev (GM) or Beckett Sennecke (RW)
4- Columbus Blue Jackets: Cayden Lindstrom (C)
5- Montreal Canadiens: Ivan Demidov (RW)

 

[NORiculous]

Is this a new thing in the NHL? Moving up or down in the leadup to the draft as opposed to during?

Islanders and Blackhawks swapped 18 and 20 a month ago, now Sharks and Sabres swap 14th and 11th.

Don't these teams (both sides) want to see who drops and what happens in the draft before moving around?

If they have a top X list and their pick just falls short of X, no need to wait.

On the other side, if the price is good enough to move back a few spots, no need to wait for the other team to change its mind.

 

[Team_Spirit]

So Damico confirms it was Reinbacher/Leonard last year huh.

The cringe was too strong so I could not finish the interview but apparently Demidov fat shamed Tony lmao

Skip to 6:35

Forget the chicken legs I'm back on board we must acquire Ivan Demidov at all cost.

Habs draft "Brisket Sandwichy"

Oddly enough these clips are actually making me appreciate Tony for the first time, usually he makes me feel like I'm hearing or watching Alex Jones talk about the Habs.

We have too many mfers on the DND, we need to relax. We can work with chicken legs.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

D'Amico claiming he has NHL GMs talk to him is like when posters on here claimed they had "Sources" we were taking Wright in 2022

Any of the two options are great for the Habs going forward. Just gotta hope Columbus and Anaheim doesn't screw it all up
