Post your 2024 Draft List

[Hinterland]

He has a tendency to play a high risk game, more-so than he'll get away with in the NHL. Not to say he can't jump up or carry the puck or try to make things happen but he can't be gambling all the time, he just won't be reliable enough (tho by most accounts he has already made progress).

And then on the defensive end while he's a capable defensive player he does have details to learn. I think he can defend, the issues are more his decision making/risk taking nature.

I say this as a big Yak fan btw. I think his potential is sky high but he does have to adjust/mature his game to be a top pair D imo.

I agree but I think some of it will be doable in the NHL as well if he continues to work on the things we've just discussed. I don't think he's gonna change his playing style and you don't want him to either. Having said that this is something that's completely coachable and I think he's also very much expected and encouraged to do those things for Calgary. So I don't think it's a decision making issue.

[ZegrasOwnsYou]

#1 Macklin Celebrini (F)
(San Jose takes a big risk.)

#2 Artyom Levshunov (D)
(Amidst the rumours of Chicago being high on Levshunov, they pick him to solidify the future top 4 of their blueline.)

#3 Zayne Parekh (D)
(Anaheim takes Parekh looking to fill the RHD spot that became open when trading Drysdale. Yakemchuk is another possibility.)

#4 Cayden Lindstrom (F)
(Columbus doesn't pass up the opportunity to secure the center depth they've been looking for so long. Fantilli/Lindstrom make this happen.)

#5 Ivan Demidov (F)
(Arguably the most talented player in this draft? He doesn't fall any further as Montreal doesn't hesitate to build their forward future.)

#6 Carter Yakemchuk (D)
(With a young forward core already drafted, taking a LHD in Simashev last year. It only makes sense for Utah to fill the right side of the blueline.)

#7 Berkly Catton (F)
(Ottawa being a team that could use a bit of everything simply selects the best player available. My personal steal of the draft.)

#8 Anton Silayev (D)
(How can Seattle say no? With Wright & Beniers ensuring the forward future. Seattle drafts a defenseman who will shut down plays, skate 200 feet in a blink of an eye & make you hurt in the process.)

#9 Tij Iginla (F)
(I mean this one just rights itself, right?)

#10 Sam Dickinson (D)
(For a team thats biggest need is a goalie, having the freedom to pick off want is a blessing. Dickinson, Nemec, Hughes & Casey are going to be a killer blueline.)

#11 Cole Eiserman (F)
(Easily the best pure goalscorer in this draft, Buffalo being set on the blueline look to reap the potential rewards of Eiserman falling.)

#12 Konsta Helenius (F)
(With a forward core that's starting to age, Philadelphia restocks with 1 of the most intelligent players in this draft. It was Helenius or Buium.)

#13 Zeev Buium (D)
(Purely based off needs. With a blueline that's getting older, Faber is going to need help & what better way than one of the most offensively gifted defenseman in this draft?)

#14 Beckett Sennecke (F)
(With an open book to draft whatever they'd like, San Jose loads up the forward prospects with a big body playmaker.)

#15 Michael Brandsegg-Nygård (F)
(A Swede who's scored everywhere he's played? Yzerman is salivating at the mouth to pick a player who fits his drafting mold perfectly.)

#16 Stian Solberg (D)
(St. Louis going forward heavy in the last few drafts make this pick pretty easy. They take a physical defenseman with hopes of sorting out their blueline woes.)

It looks like you did a mock draft instead, which is fine, but not really the purpose of this thread.

1. Celebrini (1) Rate : A

He was a sure value as a center who had already proven himself

2. Eiserman (9) Rate : B

I thought it was just a matter of position but his pick in 2 last year was inevitable

3. Kiviharju (64) Rate : F

I clung to hope for a long time with this former child prodigy. It was an error

4. Demidov (2) Rate : B

I saw him as a Michkov, a little less talented but more defensive. It seemed like a top 5 out of. Only B because Kiviharju in front.

5. Catton (8) Rate : A

It was a choice from last year but in 5 with a small size, I anticipated a big season which would affirm him as the best Canadian offensive talent born in 2006. Which he is.

6. Masse (41) Rate : D

I wasn't convinced by his positioning in 6 - he could have been between 10 and 15 but he was the guy who had proven the most in U17. Skating should have condemned him to this position 6.

7. Sennecke (16) Rate : A

I have always been hot on this player as a defensive end with offensive skills. He will likely be drafted higher than his current roster spot. It wasn't easy to have him in 7.

8. Hutson (46) Rate : D

I got carried away by his brother's fever and the fact that he was already older. But he's not talented enough to be what I thought he was going to be.

9. Helenius (13) Rate : A

That's what I call hitting the nail on the head. I moved it down a few places in my last list from a slightly disappointing U18 tournament but it's exactly what I expected last year.

10. Ritchie (54) Rate : D

I am correct with the initial choice in relation to the context of the time but its fall is still big. I would have rated myself a C if it had been ranked a few ranks lower.

11. Levshunov (3) Rate : B

I wanted to be careful about a side commitment (promotion of Belarusian prospects) and avoid being burdened by detractors. I should have ranked him higher.

12. Lindstrom (4) Rate : A

It was very difficult to have it higher last year and part of me thinks I have it too high now.

13. Parekh (7) Rate : A

He is a little stronger than I thought but the qualities and faults perceived last year have not changed.

14. Yakemchuk (11) Rate : A

I moved it up two ranks recently. Its evolution corresponds exactly to my idea last year.

15. Humphreys (98) Rate : D

It was a gamble because I thought USDP prospects would go up like previous years. Still in my top 100 so D.

16. Badinka (37) Rate : A

He might be drafted around 20. Having him in the 1st round in 2023 was unpredictable. I think I was the first to take the risk by experiencing a big storm. It's A for context.

17. Boisvert (22) Rate : A

Very good evaluation of his potential physical center which attracts scouts.

18. Jiricek (26) Rate : A

I had him much lower than usual lists and I don't think he would be any higher on my current list without the injury. Perhaps even the opposite paradoxically. Still overrated for me.

19. Mews (23) Rate : A

Compared to my idea of the player at the time and today which is similar, I rate myself at A. I think he is very underrated.

20. Howe (32) Rate : A

I pretty much expected this kind of position. He may very well be selected at this rank in 10 days.

21. Dickinson (5) Rate : C

I quickly changed my opinion at the start of the season. He had slipped on my list so as not to favor CHL players too much. I would have given it a D if there had been a disgusting name among the defenders.

22. Hemming (20) Rate : A

Exactly the same opinion. I think he's slightly underrated. I have always classified him by comparing with Helenius.

23. Shen (NC) Rate : F

Big failure for me because I saw him as the best Russian before 2006 with Surin. I haven't seen Artamonov or Chernyshov for 2024. Shame.

24. Lavoie (75) Rate : C

Big right-handed defender with No. 1 Q status, I thought he was going to establish himself as a defender of choice at the end of the 1st round due to his rare profile. It was very difficult to find other names at this rank last year.

25. Surin (38) Rate : B

He is rising a lot in the current lists but considering that I missed two other Russian attackers, A is not deserved.

26. Parsons (NC) Rate : F

Completely stupid 2023 pick like Rastislav Elias in 2021. I was looking to put a goalie and he is very far from being in my top 25 goalies now.

27. Skahan (42) Rate : B

I still saw him with greater offensive potential. In the context of the time, it was a sure bet in 27 (it doesn't sting the eyes)

28. Greentree (14) Rate : A
He is placed around this position in many lists. I have him even higher now.

29. Cristoforo (NC) Rate : D

Other guys have taken a bite out of this player's offensive potential. So D rather than F.

30. Bednarik (57) Rate : A

He can come out very well in this position. I imagined him as a John Beecher. But I rate it lower and last year that was the case too. He replaced players I expected not to know.

31. Emery (31) Rate : A

Perfect.

32. Sterner (118) Rate : D

I have a soft spot for this player. I had him ranked 32 as a potential defensive player who could explode on offense. This choice does not seem stupid to me

Norwegian actually but rest is true, MBN is a Red Wing already.

Notes:

- I think the consensus is probably wrong about Brandsegg-Nygard's upside. He's probably never a very good rush player but there are indeed many excellent topline players in the NHL who mostly thrive off of the cycle / forecheck. Those players are if anything more rare. He wins the large majorities of his battles, is very smart defensively, and of course has an elite shot. He reminds me of a stronger version of Oliver Bjorkstrand. A little bit of Landeskog as well.

- He's an overager but if my team drafted Jesse Pulkkinen 10th-15th a year ago I'd be very happy with how his last year has gone. He has elite tools. I love the defense. There's NHL shutdown upside at 6'6. I love the way he reads defenders when he is attacking with the puck. The adaptive intelligence is high end. He'll need to get quicker and learn a lot more at both ends, but the pace of improvement makes me inclined to bet on this player.

- I saw Anton Silayev a lot at both the KHL and MHL level and I think the visions of him scoring 40 pts are pure fantasy. His KHL production was very good for his age but it looks like random points when I watch it. He rarely shows offensive initiative. This will be a shutdown D, and a very good one.

- Yegor Surin is a wild beast. He reminds me a lot of Brandon Dubinsky. He plays a lot like Sam Bennett as well. But he's stronger than both, a tremendous athlete. The competitiveness is off the charts. I think he'll be a strong matchup center that can take on anyone.

- I like Dickinson and Parekh a fait bit, I wanted to move them higher because they both looked impressive to me in the Memorial Cup. I just had too many players that I liked a bit more. It's a deep draft for me up until around pick 21. Dickinson I expect to top out at minimum as a second pair guy, and he might be a #2D. Parekh could end up as one of the best players in this class, and I'm even seeing his D game improve a lot. He'll always get pushed around in his zone though, and my big concern is injuries - there is a high bust risk if he keeps getting hurt this often.

- The big omission is of course Levshunov. There are many D in the NHL who have the physical tools to be #1Ds but lack the thinking. It's not tools that separates the best from the rest. Levshunov is largely just tools. His passing game reminds me of Jack Johnson. I don't think he has improved that much either over the course of the year, and I'm hearing from the Blackbook that his trajectory is somewhat oversold, he's been a specimen and a top prospect for years now. I think you can draft him higher but the team will have to mold him into something more structured and less dynamic. I don't think he has the hockey sense to succeed playing a rover game.

[BuiumSaveUs]

Here it is. I graded each player on a scale of 1-10 (1-Awful, 2/3-Poor, 4-Below Average, 5-Average, 6-above average, 7/8-High End, 9 Elite, 10-Rare) based on size/athleticism, skating, skill, sense, compete, shot, and production. I generally gave the most importance to skating, sense, compete, and I gave the least importance to shot quality. While I would make small tweaks to the grades based on what I saw in the limited viewings I had of most players, the grades were largely based on public consensus of available scouting reports. So, it's really more a balancing act of what traits I think will translate the best.

[vildurson]

Final version for 2024 draft class, full round worth of players. Right before final playoff game. Top end still basically same, more life in t5 onwards. I still keep my stance that this draft drops more in quality after t4 but there is still good players with projectabile skill, size and production left.

I was tinkering with moving Buium ahead of Dickinson but I am still thinking that Dickinson has more size and bit higher possibilities than Buium but Buium is just slightly better right now so I went with Dickinson crudely favouring size bit more in this case. Basically I am happy to take guys at any order in their tier if you want to complain about the orders. It's more of a tier list than what I think the strict order of picks should be. Names mentioned first would be just my preference of the said tier.

T1
Macklin Celebrini C

T2
Sam Dickinson LD
Zeev Buium LD
Ivan Demidov W

T3
Artyom Levshunov RD
Cayden Lindstrom C
Tij Iginla W
Berkly Catton F

T4
Carter Yakemchuk RD
Anton Silayev LD
Zayne Parekh RD
Beckett Sennecke W
Konsta Helenius C
Cole Eiserman W

T5
Michael Hage C
Stian Solberg LD
Adam Jiricek RD
Michael Brandsegg-Nygård W
Alfons Freij LD
Igor Chernyshov W

T6
Andrew Basha F
Liam Greentree F
Jett Luchanko C
Dominik Badinka RD
Ej Emery RD
Ryder Ritchie W

T7
Sacha Boisvert C
Trevor Connelly F
Henry Mews RD
Emil Hemming F
Sam O’Reilly C
Aron Kiviharju LD

Edit:
Decided to watch some Sam O’Reilly and included him as relatively safe play for 3rd/4rd line center at the end of first.

 

[SantosHalper]

Since the draft order is pretty much set, this is a good time to reveal the famous Santos List. This is a mock draft, not a ranking list. Ranking list's often leaves out team needs and draft strategies(if a team has a notable strategy), i tried to find the unholy marriage of all 3 and here it is, enjoy:

1. SJS: Macklin Celebrini
- No-Brainer.
2. CHI: Artyom Levshunov
- Hawks are short of top pair RHD prospects or top pair D in general, so they take the best one available. Can't go wrong with this one, minute munching RHD.
3. ANA: Sam Dickinson
- Forward core in Anaheim is starting to look good but defense needs more talent. There is something Seider-esq in Dickinson, therefore Verbeek picks him.
4. CBJ: Cayden Lindstrom
- Columbus adds size to the forward core.
5. MTL: Berkly Catton
- Habs add much needed secondary scoring.
6. UTAH: Anton Silayev
- Utah Wildcats continue getting bigger... and russian. This is going to be tough team to play against.
7. OTT: Carter Yakemchuk
- Sens are short of RHD prospects and Yakemchuk fits in their identity very well. And since he is one oldest players in this class, Sens can expect him to be in the lineup soon.
8. SEA: Zeev Buium
- Krakens D prospect pool is basically empty and the teams D core is aging as well. They take best d-man available.
9. CGY: Tij Iginla
- Ownership wants butts to the seats and jerseys to sell and top of that they get a good hockey player.
10. NJD: Ivan Demidov
- The russian factor drops Demidov but New Jersey can afford to wait Demidov for a longer period than the others.
11. BUF: Zayne Parekh
- Desperate times require desperate measures, Sabres manages to fill an organizational need.
12. PHI: Cole Eiserman
- BPA, Philly fills the void left by Gauthier with another USDP product.
13. MIN: Beckett Sennecke
- Minny adds more size and grit.
14. SJS: Adam Jiricek
- Sharks D prospect pool is empty so they take the best d-man available.
15. DET: Michael Brandsegg-Nygård
- Fits in Detroit's draft strategy like a fist in an eye.
16. STL: Konsta Helenius
- BPA
17. WSH: Michael Hage
- Caps pick much needed center prospect.
18. CHI: Trevor Connelly
- BPA, a troubled kid and a troubled NHL org. It should be a match made in heaven.
19. VGK: Liam Greentree
- Vegas hopes to find the next Mark Stone.
20. NYI: Stian Solberg
- Physical and mobile PMD, i can see il padrino Lamoriello being very interested.
21. LAK: Igor Chernyshov
- Fits in the team identity.
22. NSH: Charlie Elick
- On paper Elick is prototypical Preds pick.
23. TOR: Henry Mews
- Leafs have to start fixing that horrible back end, they haven't picked a d-man in first two rounds in 6 years.
24. COL: Sacha Boisvert
- BPA
25. BOS: Jett Luchenko
- Bruins picks best center available.
26. MTL: Dean Letourneau
- Habs add size.
27. CAR: Cole Beaudoin
- Canes select size and grit.
28. CGY: Ryder Ritchie
- BPA and another local boy to Calgary, maybe Ritchie and Iginla stays there longer period than Tkachuk & Gaudreau.
29. DAL: Terik Parascak
- BPA
30. NYR: Lucas Pettersson
- There is some Aho-esq in him and Rangers are hoping for a steal here.
31. ANA: EJ Emery
- Ducks continue to bolster up their defense.
32. PHI: Yegor Surin
- Michkov-era is beginning in Philly and Briere makes sure that Michkov has enough buddies and picks a whole new type of bully to the Broad Street.

My updated mock draft.

Since the draft order is pretty much set, this is a good time to reveal the famous Santos List. This is a mock draft, not a ranking list. Ranking list's often leaves out team needs and draft strategies(if a team has a notable strategy), i tried to find the unholy marriage of all 3 and here it is, enjoy:

1. SJS: Macklin Celebrini
- No-Brainer.
2. CHI: Artyom Levshunov
- Hawks are short of top pair RHD prospects or top pair D in general, so they take the best one available. Can't go wrong with this one, minute munching RHD.
3. ANA: Sam Dickinson
- Forward core in Anaheim is starting to look good but defense needs more talent. There is something Seider-esq in Dickinson, therefore Verbeek picks him.
4. CBJ: Cayden Lindstrom
- Columbus adds size to the forward core.
5. MTL: Berkly Catton
- Habs add much needed secondary scoring.
6. UTAH: Anton Silayev
- Utah Wildcats continue getting bigger... and russian. This is going to be tough team to play against.
7. OTT: Carter Yakemchuk
- Sens are short of RHD prospects and Yakemchuk fits in their identity very well. And since he is one oldest players in this class, Sens can expect him to be in the lineup soon.
8. SEA: Zeev Buium
- Krakens D prospect pool is basically empty and the teams D core is aging as well. They take best d-man available.
9. CGY: Tij Iginla
- Ownership wants butts to the seats and jerseys to sell and top of that they get a good hockey player.
10. NJD: Ivan Demidov
- The russian factor drops Demidov but New Jersey can afford to wait Demidov for a longer period than the others.
11. SJS: Zayne Parekh
- Sharks D prospect pool is empty so they take the best d-man available.
12. PHI: Cole Eiserman
- BPA, Philly fills the void left by Gauthier with another USDP product.
13. MIN: Beckett Sennecke
- Minny adds more size and grit.
14. BUF: Konsta Helenius
- Buffalo repeats what they been past few years, hunting for highest upside.
15. DET: Michael Brandsegg-Nygård
- Fits in Detroit's draft strategy like a fist in an eye.
16. STL: Michael Hage
- BPA
17. WSH: Adam Jiricek
- BPA
18. CHI: Trevor Connelly
- BPA, a troubled kid and a troubled NHL org. It should be a match made in heaven.
19. VGK: Liam Greentree
- Vegas hopes to find the next Mark Stone.
20. NYI: Stian Solberg
- Physical and mobile PMD, i can see il padrino Lamoriello being very interested.
21. LAK: Igor Chernyshov
- Fits in the team identity.
22. NSH: Charlie Elick
- On paper Elick is prototypical Preds pick.
23. TOR: Henry Mews
- Leafs have to start fixing that horrible back end, they haven't picked a d-man in first two rounds in 6 years.
24. COL: Sacha Boisvert
- BPA
25. BOS: Jett Luchenko
- Bruins picks best center available.
26. MTL: Dean Letourneau
- Habs add size.
27. CAR: Cole Beaudoin
- Canes select size and grit.
28. CGY: Ryder Ritchie
- BPA and another local boy to Calgary, maybe Ritchie and Iginla stays there longer period than Tkachuk & Gaudreau.
29. DAL: Terik Parascak
- BPA
30. NYR: Lucas Pettersson
- There is some Aho-esq in him and Rangers are hoping for a steal here.
31. ANA: EJ Emery
- Ducks continue to bolster up their defense.
32. PHI: Yegor Surin
- Michkov-era is beginning in Philly and Briere makes sure that Michkov has enough buddies and picks a whole new type of bully to the Broad Street.
