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

[Lebanezer]

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.

I see one rounding error...

Was getting less time with Hill in org.

Vegas will regret this trade. I think Thompson can be a starter.

 

[Juxtaposer]

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.

Totally, I welcome the days that the Sharks and Ducks are at each other’s throats atop the standings. We’re a couple of years behind y’all in terms of top picks, but Celebrini vs. Carlsson, Smith vs. McTavish, Eklund vs. Zegras, Dickinson vs. Mintyukov will be fun matchups to follow.

We got Pronman's 1st (Chernyshov), 2nd (Wallenius), and 19th (Wetsch) best players available in day 2. Might get up to an A- when averaged out with the B+ that was the Celebrini/Dickinson picks. Luca Marelli was 13th and along with Gildof and Yegorov in the 4th/5th would have given us the A+ draft as measured by best pick relative to Pronman's rankings.

Chris Peters had Chernyshov at 22, and Wallenius at 34.

I love the team fits, love the competitive/big/good skating, and love that prospect people liked the picks.

Is this a Celebrini joke or am I genuinely missing something?

You are correct.

 

[Juxtaposer]

You are correct.

Sig figs makes me right.

 

[Lebanezer]

Sig figs makes me right.

Hah, fair enough.

5/6 years ago Edstrom would easily be our top prospect.

 

[drunksage]

I could make a few more height jokes after yesterday, but I won't.

Insane to me that getting Celebrini and Dickinson in the first round equates to a B+ and not an A+

 

[tahoesharksfan]

We’re the SJ Sharks, what’d you expect?

 

[TheBeard]

Insane to me that getting Celebrini and Dickinson in the first round equates to a B+ and not an A+

I think certain people do that because it's too easy to give an A+ so if things don't pan out they can at least say "We told ya".

Remember when Bords was practically our top prospect?

 

[The Nemesis]

It's going to take me a while to update the prospect threads with scouting reports. Some of these sites with rankings and reports are slow as balls to load for me because my laptop is dying. I need to replace it but I also can't afford to replace it this month/for at least a few weeks.

So I'm going to slowly plug away at adding material to each thread as I can while opening a minimum number of tabs and bloated sites.

As of right now I have as many outlets' rankings as I could comfortably/easily find for everyone. That's a start.

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.

You mean just for the sharks? Yes I agree.
Although Detroit 89 is hard to beat. Lidstrom, Fedorov, konstantinov

2017 Dallas is pretty good too. Oettinger, Robertson, Heiskanen

For the league?


2015 was pretty good and is already giving 2003 a run for its money.

Not sure I see a 2015 level

In all fairness, Konstantinov was like a tenth round pick. We may have thrived if it went beyond 7 rounds as well.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Super fascinating in hindsight to see that my top tier of twelve guys are exactly the twelve guys who went top-12.

 

[NiWa]

Chernyshov is going to be in the Musty tier.

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Knyzhov is being bought out.

Needed to free up #71

I'm kinda surprised that your speculation on how Zeev could drop to us actually came to fruition

In 2 years Hellebuyck will want out of Winnipeg and we pounce!

Why wait you can have Gibson now free of charge

 

[67 others]

Why wait you can have Gibson now free of charge

Hellebuyck has been my favorite goalie since seeing him at the 2015 iihf.

I patiently grabbed him in my keep 5 league(I was rebuilding an inherited worst team in the league and just drafted McDavid)before he was known and suffered through Winnipeg timesharing him with Pavelec and Hutchinson.

Boy has that paid off lol. The man is a workhorse in a league with wins, shots, sv% and GAA.

 

[Jargon]

Our top 10 prospect list looks absolutely insane. For those of us that were here during the Goldobin/Merkley are the future phase, it’s a real healing balm.

Man, I can’t wait to see these picks come to fruition in a couple of years.

Eklund - Celebrini - Musty (someone’s gotta play off their wing)
Chernyshov - Smith - Zetterlund/Haltunnen
Edstrom - Bystedt - Haltunnen/Zetterlund

Dickinson - ??
Muhk - ??
Ferraro - ??

…maaaay need some right D…
