GDT: 2024 NHL Entry Draft

[Obvious Fabertism]

Damn, you guys keep gobbling up my favorite Minnesotans. Zellers is a fantastic offensive player, limited by his physical abilities a bit, but brilliant at reading the ice and other players. Has a real goal scoring knack, I have previously compared him favorably to Guentzel at this age.

"Zellers" is not an NHL name, I'm sorry.

Zellers somehow sounds like a dumber version of Miles Wood and I did not think it possible

 

[Hasbro]

We have more faith in our pro scouting than amateur scouting so I guess we should be heartened that a 21 year old goalie would be their pick.

Traded back again? More to fill the cubbard!

He's going to NoDak, the high school after high school.

161 pick is too far out

too far out of what?
are you expecting the 5 slots in the 3rd round being the difference in a cup run anytime soon?

Lol CMac...I get the feeling he has no idea what planet he's on right now after that interview. This draft seems like he's just there and flying by the seat of his pants.

I like the Nabokov pick. I think I would have preferred Vinni personally, but Nabokov seems to have a higher floor after how he's played this year. Have to wonder how long before he comes over to the AHL though and if his ceiling is there when he comes to NA hockey.

Kinda hope the Avs find a way to get Kiviharju. He's fallen so ridiculously far.

Zellers said that Nate is the best player in the NHL? Oh great so he's either a suck up or a liar!!

According to the Jimmy Johnson Chart there' a 25 point drop in value and the 161 is worth 27. Fleeced em!

They are all busts anyways so why bother

 

[BobRossColton]

Kiviharju is still available?

 

[Kiekura]

Kiviharju is still available?

Yes. What picked Colorado has left?

Makes sense

Posterity to see he loses it over picking a 5'11" guy.

 

[Vaslof]

Look at all these Finnish and Swedish picks our scouts have no idea about existing

I think that they should have stayed the course and drafted a 200 pound 6'2" player. 161st pick is just not needed. Not happy with the Zellers pick. He is just too short. Could have just drafted Shuravin and be done with it.

 

[LOFIN]

Has someone made the "Are the Avs going to be buyers or Zellers?" joke already?

Look at the fleecing we had when we traded #24 for #38 + #71 + 2025 2nd.


38 and 71 alone are supposedly worth more then 24. And we got a 2025 2nd on top of it!

Nabokov pick is growing on me but wheres our goalie guy gigantor?
