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

[Guess]

Lol, Demidov winning the poll by a landslide. The question is who WILL the Habs draft, not who you want them to draft. Demidov is 100% going to Chicago. Respond with “crystal ball” or “lottery numbers” comments if you want; I’ll be here to say I told you so on Friday night. Absolutely delusional to think he’ll get past 2nd overall.

Will have this post ready to be quoted when you're wrong.

 

[Draft]

Guy actually seems to take it personally that the guy liked Levshunovs personality. What a fragile assclown. Does he know the draft is about 17-18 year old kids playing a sport ? Must be insufferable to work with. Also, he's a bore on these podcasts, gives 0 insight.

I read it differently - I think Grant’s pouting about Shane’s choice of words implying that he can offer Grant useful “insight” or information that Grant wouldn’t otherwise have. Puts them on equal footing rather than deferring to Grant’s (imagined) expertise. There’s a shift in Grant’s body language immediately after Shane says this - tension in his mouth, shifts in his chair. In saying this, Grant is made aware of an old wound - people perceive him as a pretend scout as he’s not at the combine doing interviews, is not experiencing a lot of success with Recrutes, and not actually working with a team. Classic trigger for individuals with unhealthy ego, poor self-esteem, or delusions of grandeur to be put on the same level as those they see as lesser than them. Grant follows up the perceived slight with a criticism of Shane’s reporting and downplays the value of what he’s sharing. Grant doesn’t really comment on Levshunov, but he does focus on Shane. Not great to see.

Very fragile ego either way. If it were me reacting this way on a fairly regular basis, I’d want to talk to someone about it as it’s pretty embarrassing to have it all over the internet.

This is halfway a joke btw, not a therapist. Just adding flavour to the thread.

100%

Gross display of ego.

Dont want to pile on the guy, but have you guys seen Grant's graphics for his draft prediction pool? Holy shit, I could have a chimp design something better, but the worst is, he is including a nice Recrutes cap and shirt in the pot, that shirt and that cap look full of dog hair and the pictures seem to have been taken by a early 00's digital camera you'd be at Zellers.

This French article breaks down 4 scenarios and who Habs would pick. Assumption is that Celibrini and Levshunov go 1 and 2

[Rapala]

With Tij Iginla. I feel like he will naturally understand the in-game sense of urgency needed to be a winner... compared to so many players who stay passive and can't "flip that switch" when it's time to be a game-breaker

You just described my favorite segment of play in Iginla's post season.
The color man who ever he was said look out Iginla's got that look in his eye.
The very next shift Tij goes out and scores the deciding goal to salt the game.
Thats when I first heard the moniker Iggy Wiggy Woo Woo.

 

[Rapala]

It’s ALL OF US

Umm no it isn't.
Believe it or not some people may have other favorites like Tij Iginla and Zeev Buium.
Beckette Sennecke and Sam Dickinson. There may be others.
As far as the herd goes you are probably right.
That is me on the right side but I'm smiling.

Jesus christ what a dick head

 

[G0bias]

Watch the Ducks take Lindstrom and Jackets take Demidov despite the Hawks taking Levshunov.

That could very well happen. There's no other player that fits the kind of player Verbeek loves like Lindstrom does.

Jackets could also see center potential in Demidov. He's played there before and didn't look bad. Doesn't hurt he's 6'0-6'1, plays a 200ft game and competes.

 

[KevSkillz4]

If Anton Silayev is the pick, I will be banned from my country. I will destroy everything in my city.

Grant behaves like small brained/big ego bro's when you debunk there mindless conspiracy theories....as they deep down know that they are idiots but were enjoying pretending that they were not actually idiots by surrounding themselves with other bro's who are bleeting on about the same nonsense. There is a clear physical reaction in their face and their posture when you reintroduce them to their rightful place in the intellectual food chain.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Everyone just has to know Demidov is not even going to be there at 5 lol. He doesn’t make it past Columbus. Zero chance. So we have to decide Lindstrom risk, if not selected by Anaheim, or Sennecke/Buium. I’d rather trade down honestly if that’s the case

It's going to be hell for more than 2/3 rds of our board if we don't select one or the other no matter what reason.
We are sure to hear why the F didn't you trade up/down loud and clear.

Demidov and Yakemchuk would be pretty dope.

Dream draft

 

[Habs7631]

Today is the day.

Hopefully one or two trades on top of the selection at 5.

Oh Yeah I’m gonna be so hype when he falls to #26.

 

[JustYourRegularGuy]

Have a feeling that you guys will take Sennecke at #5.

Just took a quick look at your profile.

Leafs fan.

Makes sense why you wish bad things upon us.

Did Levshunov crush his daughter or something?

I hate the Habs, true. But Sennecke was ridiculously effective in the playoffs and wouldn't be a bad pick for you guys.

And I think he matches the size+skill scouting philosophy that your front office has seemed to be pushing since they took over, at least with high picks.
