GDT: 2024 NHL Entry Draft

[Alex Jones]

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.

Your enemies to lovers arc with CMac is going to be wild.

You’d think if the Avs had any plans of moving Colton we’d have already saw it?

Not necessarily.

Nah. I think there are teams interested, but they need to make moves first or want to see what's available on free agency.

Like someone mentioned the Rangers. They want this Trouba deal done first.

Anyone know why Aron Kiviharju is falling down the draft board?

Happens almost every year.
Stay away from fallers like Kiviharju and Misa,

Anyone know why Aron Kiviharju is falling down the draft board?

Because he stagnated. Stopped developing.
One year is a long time at that age.

Anyone know why Aron Kiviharju is falling down the draft board?

No idea, someone might get a real gem from him

 

[henchman21]

I’m meh on Zellers. He’s really smart, but I don’t think he’s skilled enough to make it in an impact role. Doesn’t have great size.

 

[Vaslof]

Anyone know why Aron Kiviharju is falling down the draft board?

He was hyped up from a young age as future #1 pick, but ended up a tiny guy, didn't show much on his draft season, and was injured for much of it.

 

[hockeyfish]

Anyone know why Aron Kiviharju is falling down the draft board?

He's very easy to overlook.

 

[jake07]

joey Hishon a good comparison with Zellers?

 

[AvsMakar08]

We should have drafted Jevon Moore.

 

[The Abusement Park]

You’d think if the Avs had any plans of moving Colton we’d have already saw it?

His NTC doesn't kick in until Monday. So chances are he could still get moved by tomorrow.

But I really don't think it makes sense to move him.

So… not great size and not that skilled.

I’ve already given up on him.

 

[AvalancheSpeedsters]

Sounds like my ex GF

I wonder what the success rate on guys who spend their +1 year in the USHL are.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Kivijarhju would be a very Avs pick at some point. He can't keep falling.

 

[Murzu]

I wonder what the success rate on guys who spend their +1 year in the USHL are.

Poor I'd imagine.

 

[LTCPain75]

Jake Fisher, Center, USHL. He's headed to DU next year

 

[katfude]

Jake Fisher
"When Fisher’s not rifling off-the-pass wristers, he’s overpowering opponents in battles, stealing pucks in the defensive zone, and winning retrievals."
Gonna be decent on the Eagles 3rd line for the next decade

 

[Tommy Shelby]

So… not great size and not that skilled.

I’ve already given up on him.

He's also a top-6 scoring line or bust guy, skillset and size do not translate to anything else that could be useful

Avs have an incredibly difficult time identifying NHL role players in the draft

 

[RoyIsALegend]

6’2” center Jake Fisher.

I’ll take it.

I mean.... good.

They shouldn't be trying to draft role players. They should be swinging for upside every time.
