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

[Jargon]

I’m so sad we didn’t take Buium

 

[Levie]

ok! now trade 33 and spare parts for 13th and get us Buium too!

Philly is gonna take Eiserman.

33 + Kunin for Buium. Who says no?

 

[Shark Finn]

33 + Kunin for Buium. Who says no?

Kunin, probably.

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

Yay my hope came true!

 

[zombie kopitar]

Dickinson is a big smooth skating poised mfer, I get Buium has some exciting upside, but I really think Dickinson is just going to transition to a top 4 flawlessly and quickly, and could end up a true #1

 

[Broomout]

It took that long for 1 spot?

 

[Bizz]

Minny's getting Buium.

 

[ChompChomp]

Not an exciting trade at all LOL.

 

[Baysick]

Would be awesome to trade 33, Vegas 1st next year and Ferraro to NJ and we take Buium or Eiserman lol

 

[Alaskanice]

Excellent!! I didn’t even read up on him because I never imagined he was gonna make it to 11.

 

[Eggdoh]

Like many here, I had a slight preference for Buium, but I'm ecstatic with this draft. Now I'd love for them to trade up to the twenties with the two 2nd round picks!

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

If Esierman falls to 33 I will lose my shit

 

[weastern bias]

And there he goes

 

[Juxtaposer]

Wow, my phone is working really hard today. Might go MIA but just know that Sam Dickinson is an awesome prospect and was #7 on my list. Cornerstone guy.

 

[Bizz]

Philly still going with Eiserman. Just wanted a free 3rd.

 

[Patty Ice]

Yup free 3rd for Philly so they can draft Eiserman.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

What an awesome day after years of shit. We have a 1C, possible 2nd 1C with Smith, and a D man with 1st pairing upside.

Not to mention Eklund, Musty, Cagnoni, Bystedt, Edstrom, 2 early 2nds this year, and two firsts next year.

 

[slocal]

similarly, i also can't overstate how impressed I was how Will Smith didn't hesitate to spit the fresh prince bars on the spot in his first interview after being drafted

I like it

Get out of my head!

 

[STL Shark]

Dickinson is a big smooth skating poised mfer, I get Buium has some exciting upside, but I really think Dickinson is just going to transition to a top 4 flawlessly and quickly, and could end up a true #1

I said from the jump that I thought Dickinson was the best D-Man in the draft. It isn’t Sharks bias. This is so good and we have our LH Pietrangelo for the next 10-15 years.

 

[mogambomoroo]

Damn! I love Dickinson in the long run but Buium would have been like the Musty pick there. I'm happy though, good draft so far!

EDIT: Okay I think Dickinson might have been the best pick for us if we want to win a cup one day. LET'S GOOO

 

[Patty Ice]

Dickinson was the right pick. In no way did I even think he'd be there for the Sharks without getting in the 5-7 range.

 

[NiWa]

Philly going to take Helenius. And then the draft is really going to really open up.

Draft Grades so far:
SJ Sharks / GMMG: A
Overall entertainment level: A+

Love how the "top 14" really ended up being unpredictable.

 

[matt trick]

Really happy with Dickinson. He might be the safest top 4 d-man in the draft. I wanted Zeev for the upside, but Dickinson's 6'3, skates like the wind, and is good both ways. Thrilled to get him for 14+42.

STL couldn't move up for Buium when they are desperate for D. Maybe Philly wasn't willing to move done 4 spots, but still find it a bit surprising. Now do those claims of Eiserman to Philly come true?

What a draft!

 

[rekrul]

Dickinson and Kasper Halttunen coached By Dale Hunter- great developer of talent

 

[matt trick]

Interesting that Grier opted for Dickinson over two of Celebrini's highly rated Shattuck teammates.
