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

[Anaheim4ever]

Based on where I think the Ducks end up at around #7 to #12 I'd take another forward or trade down to pick a forward. At least 1 of Mintyukov, Zellweger and Luneau is gonna be a big point producer, maybe even Drysdale.

If they get some lottery luck and jump up to #3 or #2 then i'd be happy with Demidov or Eiserman.

I hope we can get Will Skahan, big defenseman and a hometown kid.

Is he Sean Skahan’s kid?

Does he come with his dad in a package deal? Been significant durability issues with this franchise since Sean left, bring him back as strength and conditioning coach pronto.

Wasn’t he the one who significantly improved Bobby Ryan’s skating in like one offseason?

Isn't he an agent now?

 

[Anaheim4ever]

1 high end winger and the team is set for the future. If they draft a Dman they could then trade Luneau + for a winger. Still some good wingers available in this draft.

Good call, also works as a sales specialist for BioSteel.

 

[Gliff]

Upside released their early rankings.

13 defensemen in the 1st round.
I didn't realize how young Eiserman is. He is 2 weeks away from being a 2025 draftee. Crazy.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

What's the opinion of Catton 5'11, Helenius RW 5'10, Masse RW 6'1, Brandsegg-Nygard RW 6'1, Boisvert C 6'2 and Sennecke RW 6'2 ? Some of these guys will improve their stock to right around where the Ducks will pick.

Outside of Dmen this draft has tons of Wingers, and good amount are RWs which the Ducks lack RH shots in the forward prospect pool and in NHL forwards..

Getting a high skilled top 6 winger to play with Carlsson, McTavish or Zegras will be great.

 

[Dryish]

I'd love Ivan Demigod if we get to pick in the top five again.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Also, at least least four of the six are legit early/mid round picks too. Other two I don’t know about.

Wow, this is impressive. Samuelli's have certainly played a large role in this, as well as the players and staff of course.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

 

[Gliff]

16 defensemen in the 1st round. 7 RHD.
11 players 6'2 or taller since thats all that is relevant for the Ducks.

For Pat, this will be the best year to tank and get assets in then

I think in this draft you go dmen… having a good deep d core is a good problem to have.

I think it’s much easier to find a winger via trade/free agency than it is to find top pair upside dmen

There is forwards I would take tho

 

[MMC]

I like Mews and Dickinson and think we should be in a position to get one of them for sure

Totally agree. If we can get a top pairing d that would be huge for the long term success of the team. For our later picks I would look at high upside wingers.

 

[Dryish]

I'll go against the grain and say I'd much rather we drafted high on a winger. Our D corps is already stocked. Sure true 1Ds don't grow on trees, but our wing pool is so barren that help is sorely needed there.

We already have so many high profile players coming up that we won't have astronomical amounts of cap space left for luring first line wingers when our time to compete comes. Getting talented young players on ELCs and their first contracts to shore up the roster may become unfathomably important.

 

[Rasp]

Cole Eiserman

If not then one of the defenders;
Artyom Levshunov
Henry Mews
Sam Dickinson
Zayne Parekh
Adam Jiricek

The ducks would have to have another really god awful season to draft Eiserman. He’s going to challenge for 1st overall
