Prospect Info: 2024 NHL Entry Draft (Ducks pick #3, They didn’t drop! OMG It’s a Miracle!)

[Hockey Duckie]

Was hoping Emery would fly under the radar a bit more, but it’s lookin more likely he’s going to be off board by our 2nd

Can always try to move up from the 30s back into the first round if they really like a certain prospect. That's part of the reason why you stack up picks

I'm not sure Emery will go into the teens or early 20s b/c more offensive D-men get pushed up higher. As the OG scout poster cited, Emery has a couple years of development needed along with skating. None of that is guaranteed to improve.

Also, Emery isn't the only stay-at-home RD. Elick is also a stay-at-home RD.

Just devastating how for most of that season the Ottawa pick was right in line with where draisaitl was supposed to go

Nylander is the one that really got away there

The ducks win a cup in 2017 with him on the 3rd line behind Getzlaf and Kesler

Rakell-Getzlaf-Eaves
Cogliano-Kesler-Silfverberg
Kase-Nylander-Perry

Could have been our playoff top 9

In another life…

It may have worked out better this way...imagine if the Ducks picked 9th and took Ritchie (power forward, you know) and then Toronto picked Nylander right after that. I could see Murray/Madden doing just that.

I call an embellishment penalty. You have no idea what the Ducks would do. Did the Ducks pass on Zegras for the bigger Podkolzin in 2019? Nope.

Don't take every post so seriously...

Maybe you misread my original post...where I used "imagine" and "could". But please re-read and tell me what I lied about. I'm seriously curious.

 

[Gliff]

Does anyone think there is any chance PV is okay drafting Eiserman or Demidov? I just can't see him taking players like that with a top 5 pick.

If Podkolzin were from Canada rather than Russia BM probably would have. The front office being so anti Russia in the draft saved us there.

Really too early to tell right now. After Celebrini, this is a draft with no consensus and every player has warts. I would guess that Lindstrom, Dickinson, and (maybe) Levshunov would all go in the top 5 before either of the players you mentioned for the simple reasons of size and position played. That said, Eiserman could still elevate his stock back to consensus #2 if he finishes strong. He's the best pure scorer in the draft bar none. Demidov is more of a long shot PV pick but in this draft who knows? He starts to look like very good value around pick #5 which is where the Ducks could very well end up picking.

I would say the only way Eiserman gets picked top 5 is if he absolutely kills it at the U-18. Even then I have a hard time seeing it.

The way prospects talk about Parekh is so reminiscent of Minty. Not saying he will pan out the way Minty has, but the 4th forward comments are the exact same.

I agree about Eiserman but I'm not sure there are 5 players better than him in this draft. I suspect there might be teams that still have him rated pretty highly. He does need to have a great finish though for sure.

Yup regarding Parekh.

If SJ picks #2 I can't see them passing on Lev especially after GM Grier barely missed out on Mintyukov and traded down as a result. Unless they win #1 in lottery they go D most likely.

Thrun/Lev or Shakir/Lev would be their future top pairing. Thrun and Shakir are both LD but I suppose Thrun has played RD before ? If they end up with Dicky.

 

[lwvs84]

I'm assuming Ducks scouts have Celebrini ranked #1, and we know we aren't picking 1st overall. With such a wide open field of prospects for 2-4/5 (where we'll pick), hopefully whoever the Ducks scouts have as the 2nd best player is still available.

I feel like there is a good chance they take Lindstrom to have that big C to complement Smith down the middle

Anything but BPA is over thinking at #2. It's not like they are set at any particular position anyway. They need help everywhere, should take whoever they see becoming the best NHL player, period.

BPA is going to be in the eye of the beholder in this draft. Too bad we never get to see each team's draft lists b/c this year I think they are going to be shockingly different after Celebrini. It wouldn't shock me if Silayev went #2 depending on who is picking in that spot.

There are 8 guys that in my eyes could easily go #2.
Demidov
Eiserman
Levshunov
Silayev
Dickinson
Lindstrom
Catton
Helenius

Would anyone be surprised to see any of those guys go 2 or 3? This really is like 2021 where there were 7 guys after Power and Beniers that could have gone in any order.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

It's going to be an interesting draft b/c there's only one consensus player ranked in the same spot in projected #1 overall Celebrini. Then there could be a jumble from 2-12.

There's still so much hockey left to play for the prospective draftees. That would include the WJC-18 tournament before the draft, provided the draftee was 17 years old before Dec 31st. Who knows who would pop? For example, @WhatTheDuck shared that since returning from the WJC-20s, Brandsegg-Nygard's offense has taken off in the HockeyAllsvenskan league (Sweden's mens 2nd tier hockey).

Brandsegg-Nygard
HockeyAllsvenskan: 23 games, 2g + 4a = 6 pts
WJC-20: 5 games, 3g + 2a = 5 pts
HockeyAllsvenskan: 4 games, 4g + 1a = 5 pts

Ya if sj is #2 they taking Levy....

A lot of shark fans think the reason they traded down in mintyukov draft was because they wanted mintyukov.... levshunov is a similar player, cant see them missing him. Id assume hes BPA at #2 on their board.

I would throw Biuim on that list, and i think Parekh is getting close to that point. I think if you asked all 32 teams who is #2 on their rankings... youll get 8-10 different answers right now.... now obviously someone could take that spot by the end of the season, but right now its wide open.

According to our scouting (I think Murray said it in a video interview), there was only #1 D Power and 2-8 were all similarly bunched together.
