GDT: NHL 24 Draft Combine June 3-8 NOT the trade, roster or KK thread

[Tyson]

Then you factor in, Lindstrom's bad back (which apparently isn't 100% right now) and the fact that he didn't play a full season...

Iginla meanwhile played great...

Forget the 3inches, who is actually a better hockey player, Lindstrom or Iginla.....

Tough call.

Tij is already 191 lbs and isn't 18 yet. I have no issue drafting this kid.

Problem with Tij, i see him like a top 6 forward. This is not bad, but at 5th pick, I rather like to pick a first line player or first pairing dman. Celebrini, Demidov, Lindstrom, Dickinson, Levshunov, Buium are the players I expect, they have higher potential imo

Tij answer to the question, what animal is he

I'm in for drafting Pegasus'.

I'm gonna hate like hell when he ends up a f***ing Senaturd.

This is where it gets tricky...Habs have a need but will that mean not drafting the BPA?

What a unit. That big, that fast with a big time shot and loves being physical…. Come to papa

I would have hard time to don’t pick Dickinson over Iginla honestly. Dickinson is like Heiskanen… 6ft 3 dman…. I have feeling anyway Chicago will get that Dman. The moment, we have a first pair in Dickinson/ Reinbacher. You can trade everything else at D position. I know it could be a tough to separate from guy like Hutson? Guhle or xhekaj, mailloux. But we gonna receive a hell of forward in 1/2 years.

I get the feeling he gets picked before #5.

 

[River Meadow]

Same.

I also get the feeling it may be a blessing in disguise, and Habs end up with Iginla (or maybe even Dickinson), and we are better off for it.

 

[Hins77]

Anaheim would be open to trade the 5th and 26th for 3th pick..

They seems to Target a D. And at 5. They probably have the D they want (buium, dickinson, levshunov)

Easy tiger,

This is hfboards, not tinder.

I would not make that trade.

I think that’s a bit rich to move up two spots when you know Anaheim isn’t taking one of your targets.

What kind of question is that.
If you had to choose to save ur brother or sister which one would you pick?

Oh my god u couldn't answer that One, you are not allowed to play in Columbus...

 

[Vachon23]

I like Boivert, but its a toss up if he can become a top 6 C.. id rather throw expendable assets to m8ve up 10 spots and draft that forward that might have slipped or the one they want - the value to move up 10 spots far outpaces the need to wait, and its entirely possible that Boivert might be that gem in 3-5 years...
To mark the end of our "rebuild" and hang up the tank hats, it is imperative we come out of the first round with a sure fire top 6 F (prospect or player) and a top 4 D (dickinson or Levshunov)

In my book, a #2-3 physical 2 way center with size his as valuable then a top 6 offensive winger. It’s an important piece in a team especially in the playoffs

 

[dinodebino]

There's more than one way to skin a cat. If you want forwards you don't have to draft them.

Panthers tonight will have a total of 3 players drafted by them in their lineup (Barkov, Lundell and Ekblad).

No comparison. It’s Florida. Not Siberia-Montreal.

At that point everyone wants someone different at 5th overall, I will be happy with one of the player in the 2-10 mix and I am sure they will find a player that is a gamer and either a top 4 or a top 6

 

[Rapala]

I'm not super keen on Demidov like some are.
This not seeing Russians playing against their peers truly sucks.

 

[jaffy27]

Getting Jacob Fowler vibes when it comes to personality….you get the feeling that he would easily integrate in a room.

Would obviously be ecstatic with him as our pick!

 

[skidcells]

So if Demidov is gone what do you think the order would be between Lindstrom, sennecke and iginla based on what we heard over the week? I hope Basu and Godin answer the question in this Monday’s podcast

not Anaheim, but Columbus have the same need than us. If Chicago pick levshunov or Demidov. I would do the trade with Anaheim personnally.

Lindstrom --> Iggy / Dickinson --> Sennecke
my guess
