GDT: 2024 NHL Entry Draft (HFSJ Edition) - Round 1: Fri, Jun 28 4pm PT/7pm ET | Rounds 2-7: Sat, Jun 29, 8:30am PT/11:30am ET

I'm swamped at work and day 2 has been a tougher follow than day 1

What's the temperature in here? How are we feeling about the draft as a whole?

Round 1 feels like a grand slam, but I don't know how to feel about the rest, please allow me to appeal to "authority"

A f***in plus

This is just a knee jerk from the airplane tarmac and what do I know, but I think we got great value at nearly every pick. "WHO???" on our goalie picks but apparently Morehouse said we got our top targets there. So in general I think it's an excellent day 2.

 

[LadyStanley]

Logan Thompson going to Washington for picks apparently.... Why would Vegas trade their 1b goalie that makes under 800k... bad cap management

Rumor is they might be in on Stamkos.

Logan Thompson was in the middle autograph session at NHL draft when he was traded for nothing... Brutal organization

Got wake up call on trade. Knew before autograph session.

 

[Lebanezer]

Can someone post an updated list of our top ten prospects? Would it be:

1. Celebrini
2. Smith
3. Dickinson
4. Musty
5. Shakir
6. Halttunen
7. Edstrom
8. Bysted
9. Cagnoli
10. Chernyshov

I'll start the vote right now.

 

[Juxtaposer]

1. C Macklin Celebrini (6’0”)
-
2. C Will Smith (6’0”)
3. LD Sam Dickinson (6’3”)
-
4. LW Quentin Musty (6’2”)
5. LD Shakir Mukhamadullin (6’4”)
-
6. LW Igor Chernyshov (6’3”)
7. C Filip Bystedt (6’4”)
8. RW Kasper Halttunen (6’4”)
9. C David Edstrom (6’3”)

After this group, there’s a lot of guys who are arguable for #10 (Cagnoni, Wetsch, Sahlin-Walenius, Bordeleau, Gushchin come to mind), but that top-9 groups is just absolute insanity. Ridiculous. This is the stuff dreams are made of.

Why so low on Chernyshov? I would have him right under Musty. Most scouting lists had him between 15-22 and I was shocked he was still available at 33.

I'm getting loaded tonight to celebrate and bask in the afterglow.

Wish we had gotten a higher quality RHD somewhere, but Igor Chernyshov being available was impossible to pass up. He was ranked 15-22 in almost every ranking and only the Russian effect pushed him later

 

[tahoesharksfan]

It looks like we’re officially allowed to have nice things once again…

 

[Juxtaposer]

Big boy good!

You should never discount a guy just for being on the smaller side… but having a ton of 6’2”+ guys to insulate our average-sized 1C/2C and small boy in Eklund is freaking awesome. I don’t think anyone would deny that you want bigger dudes all thing fairly equal.

 

[TheBeard]

Stamkos

This makes even less sense then.

Not low on him so much as I'm high on the others. Good problem to have.

I remember when Leonard, Merkley and Chmelevski were in the top 5. Nightmare fuel

So much suffering to get here but its looking beautiful

Was getting less time with Hill in org.

 

[TheBeard]

This may be the booze, but we may look back at this draft in 5 years and recognize it as the greatest draft class in any sport ever.

[spintops]

Eklund - Celebrini - Martone
Musty - Smith - Couture
Chernyshov - Edstrom - Zetterlund
- Bystedt -

2026 on is going to be fun.

 

[TheBeard]

Man. What a weekend for some of you. A terrific draft class AND you got to meet me.

Good luck trying to sleep tonight.

 

[OversKy]

lmao they truly have no interest in talking Sharks draft picks

I noticed this as soon as we got the lottery pick. Media blacked out SJ from the picture and Celebrini was even talked about very little.

 

[OversKy]

I think this was my favorite Sharks draft I've ever followed!

 

[matt trick]

So per Morehouse, Sharks got the goalies who were #1 and 2/3 on their board.

Where is this? Not challenging just want to watch it! Phenomenal news, however, I recall Burke committing that Justin and Drew Daniels would definitely be NHL players...

Burke is a known deceiver.

Nice came to see what your top 10 looked like .... pretty impressive group going. I feel like our teams are going to trend back up together should make for some new exciting cores for both franchises.

Still think the goalie pool is a lil sus, woulda liked to see you guys aim at a bigger name goalie this year or last year(as they take more time to develop), but i suppose its pretty easy to find stop gap goalies right now.

I love that there aren't really any caveats for our big guys. They're big, fast, and most of them have some sort of plus level skill like Haltunnen's shooting or Musty's offensive game.
