HF Habs: Bobby Mac Final 2024 Draft Ranking List - Tuesday 2024-06-25 - TSN5 - 11:00am EDT

The guy that always complains about “fake scouts” is now a fake doctor. Beautiful

Yeah I put him on my IL after he did it first in the midst of a debate about how good NHL scouts actually are (not very). Any idea how to remove someone from your IL? Kinda miss the entertainment lol

Just replied to anther post saying my Scotty Cameron doesn't work. . I won a bunch of stuff on facebook draws.

No joke though. My overall game is very good but my putting holds me back a lot. I've been working on different grips, all kinds of stuff. Just can't get the weight down right.

Next time you go to play a course, set up your putt on the practice green and then close your eyes and putt it however hard you think you need to in order to get it to the hole. Do this a few times at different distances and make the adjustments you need.

Once you get out on the actual course you'll find you don't need to think about the weight so much, and you should end up pretty close each time.

I prefer Demidov. Is Cayden Lindstrom actually going to be the gamebreaker/elite player we need?

Putting no joke costs me 10 strokes or more per round it's crazy

Not saying they're right or wrong, but, out of touch according to who ?

Me.

 

[Nedved]

If we pick Helenius I will not only be beside myself with rage I will be fully convinced that Goldenhands is a key member of Montreals scouting team


I tried that it didn't help

lol. Sounds like you need to tee off with the early bird crew where every putt inside 6 feet is good so they can say they finished their round in 3 hours.

I'll never forget playing with some of those old guys and they're just knocking back my shot even though I got a 4 footer left, lol.

Game breaker no, elite talent potentially not. With that said, his size package is akin to Slaf and Dach and there's no denying it's a special asset to have.

That's great then but still doesn't really move the needle for us.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

I'm also not good at chess and I'd say it's not a sport, it's a game. It doesn't mean it's not hard or complicated. I've already stated I wasn't good. The point of a sport is that one's physical ability should play a part in it. If you can get by while being non-athletic, it's not a sport.

Athleticism is absolutely needed at the top levels of golf. Control, flexibility, strength, finesse are all necessary to be on the higher end of the spectrum.

Even if someone doesn't take training as seriously (John Daly), you can find a hockey player doing the same (Byfuglien).

His comparing in Mikko in Colorado. I watched quite a bit of him and I can see it

I dunno about that. I'll give Lindstrom this, he doesn't strike me as a lazy player like Rantanen, though the latter is the more fluid talent.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

I prefer Demidov. Is Cayden Lindstrom actually going to be the gamebreaker/elite player we need?

Not in my view. I think he'll be a physical 35-25 type winger which is certainly valuable and could be a core piece, but not at the level of some of the other forwards in the draft (especially not Demidov)

if his back is ok, a must pick at#5

The problem is I don't even think doctors know if he will have chronic issues or not. All they can talk about is past cases and probability.

How much do you think injurie affected N Patrick? After reading this report from 2017 and knowing how things went down with Patrick, do you trust Lindstrom will be just fine?

5th pick is something you can't miss on. We already missed with KK.

NHL's top prospect says he is overcoming two hernia injuries

The NHL's top draft prospect Nolan Patrick said Friday the injury that contributed to him missing more than half of last season was misdiagnosed.

that is the kicker... big gamble for sure

 

[Tyson]

Cole Hutson at #47
he'll go earlier

They thought Lane Hutson would go earlier than 62nd....

 

[Treb]

Never knew Mckenzie was doing a golfer list.

yup
and the figs were the #1 golfing team

 

[Tyson]

I’d think hitting a 95mph fastball is harder then hitting a ball down the fairway…..

Yeah especially if you get fooled with a curve ball.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Demidov dream is actually in sight. Bob's list doesn't change a thing there.

Scott Powers saying Levshunov is likely the pick at 2, to the point he'd be surprised if it wasn't.. means that path is there.

Anaheim is looking defense and particularly are heavy on left shot forwards. Demidov was a particular name that a beat writer close to Anaheim didn't list as in consideration for their pick at 3.

That just means CBJ would have the option and I don't think I see Timmins doing it with Lindstrom on the board.

His top end potential is 2nd line F. Not good enough for 5 overall imo

 

[jaffy27]

That's great then but still doesn't really move the needle for us.

The only one in this draft that could possibly move that needle is Celebrini who’s going 1st overall, and possibly Demidov.

Every other fwd going top 15 is most likely an elite second liner or a very good 1st liner.

I could definitely see Columbus take Demidov, but:

1) I think Lindstrom's viewed more highly by front offices than GMs.
2) Lindstrom's viewed as a potential strong top line/top 6 center, which are so hard to find.

Its not going to be on Timmins, there at least two guys who rank ahead of him in Columbus' scouting department.

So who is?

Eiserman, Iginla, Sennecke, Dickinson and Buium are all guys with much higher ceilings. I watched a ton of WHL this year and honestly don't get why people here are so hyped for Lindstrom

Only Timmins could think Lindstrom becomes a top line F lol good luck Columbus fans

I get you’ve watched tons of WHL games but this begs the question what have ALL WHL scouts been watching to have Lindstrom at 5 and Iginla at 10?

I mean, in general and mostly, scouts think Lindstrom is a much better prospect then all your aforementioned…..

I really like Dickinson though and would be absolutely stoked if he was our pick with Demidov gone.

I think one thing to keep in mind with regards to Lindstrom is that he had the highest shooting % of anyone with 20+ goals in the WHL. Not having a full season didn't really let that normalize, but it is a pretty small sample size of elite play.

I think he has amazing tools, and I hope our development team can turn him into something more than what I see him becoming should we take him, but I do also prefer Iginla and think his offense is a lot more translatable.
