Speculation: Post Draft 2024 Discussion

[nbducksfan19]

I want demidov, but know that’s not happening and I’m not even confident he is the “right pick”, but I am a sucker for flash and a potential kaprivoz or kucherov is tantalizing.

After hours and hours I can pretty much be sold on any of demidov, silayev, lindstrom, levshunov or Buium.

Only guy I think would be disappointing is sennecke, but I have watched him the least.

Sobering to realize that Demidov is actually slightly bigger than Buium.

I'm getting my heart set on buium and that is very dangerous with this scouting crew. I almost expect to hear iginla's name at this point.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

The Buium odds are probably going up mostly because of Marek, but still, that’s quite a jump. It also makes sense, if he was even an inch taller or if people weren’t convinced of Verbeek craving size he would’ve been identified as a likely target ages ago and there’s been a good deal of buzz about him going higher than expected despite fairly regularly being mocked in the 6-8 range. Be interesting to see if more comes out throughout the day.

I think SJ is hoping Yakemcchuck is gonna be there at #11 which is possible if Catton, Eiserman and Parekh go top 10. They really need a Dman of the future, cannot see Shakir or Thrun becoming a 1D ever.

 

[LeBrun is a Clown]

Still have a hunch that Yak goes three. I could totally see our scouting staff drooling over him.

However, the same could be said with a few other prospects but I believe Yaks intangibles seal the deal.

Can’t recall a draft like this where virtually everyone has a different scenario for the top 10. Will be fun to see if anyone can hit a bullseye with their mocks.

 

[KelVarnsen]

No to Buium. Ducks already have too many Lefty D men. Give me Lindstrom or Demidov.

 

[tomd]

No doubt Buium is a talented player (although he doesn't have any elite tools other than IQ). But if the Ducks take him they are looking at a future top 4 of Buium, Mintyukov, Zellweger, and Luneau. That would be one of the smallest and softest top 4 D corps in the league. I just can't see PV accepting that.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Might be the most compelling pick of the rebuild for us

 

[ducknuts]

Zeev, welcome to Anaheim.

The Ducks are walking away with the best defenseman in the draft.

I’d encourage everyone to read this article: Meet Zeev Buium, who could be the NHL’s next Jewish superstar - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

PS - Zeev has jumped to +300 at BetMGM.

Buium is at 3rd.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Buium would be a great pick... 100% okay with it if we go that route.

Okay with any of
Leveshunov, Buium, Demidov, Lindstrom or yakemchuk

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

No to Buium. Ducks already have too many Lefty D men. Give me Lindstrom or Demidov.

I mean you just trade some of the excess lhd and problem solved

i can think of 1 id be excited to move today

 

[bracer028]

3rd and zegras for celebrini. Make it happen

3rd and zegras for celebrini. Make it happen

Why would the Sharks do that?

Everyone’s favorite insider Frank Seravalli on his live show says his intel heavily implied Sennecke. Do with that as you will.

 

[FiveTacos]

You guys keep talking me into different players every day. Which means I'm going to be pleased no matter which of the 8 we choose ... But also 7 times more disappointed over the guys we didn't.

If you don't hear from me later I probably went insane and jumped off a cliff. In that event, just remember ... I'm comin' back to get you all.

Oh and could one of you come over to my house and delete my browser history? I'd really appreciate it.

Had us taking Fantilli last year, fwiw

 

[Hey234]

Honestly, the only player I would be disappointed with is Sennecke. At 3rd, I would prefer to see someone who has shown more for longer. He started to peak at the end with better players and that seems like a reach at 3. I'm definitely not an expert but it would take some convincing that all the other options are worse than Sennecke.

 

[Johnnyduck]

Anyone but Silayev or Sennecke.

Demidov, Levshunov, Buium, Yakemchuk or even Lindstrom is wayyy cool with me.

I'll be boots on the ground, who else is out here?

Buium is at 3rd.

Did he add any context for why?

I still wonder why Demidov is getting written off for the Ducks in most mocks.
He fits the type of a competitive, smart player. They said they’re fine taking Russians.

Their strength is drafting D, which is why I’d prefer to add Demidov early and then let the scouting staff find a gem with one of their later picks. I don’t trust them adding a quality forward with their later picks.

I like Sennecke... but at 3 def kinda scares me....

I feel like its a very risky pick.

Again my opinion some what changes, if we trade down a bit and grab someone like Sennecke/Yakemchuk/Buium..... Buium is the only 1 i feel fine with at 3.

 

[Goose of Reason]

I want it to be Demidov but i feel like that's very unlikely. In Madden we trust, especially if it's a defender.

 

[lwvs84]

I'm going to stop reading about the draft. Every time I start wanting a player that'll be in range, the Ducks pick someone else. I'll start following prospects after the draft
