Realgud's Realgud draft simulator (2024 edition)

I guess I’m too old for that


I like your third and fourth picks

What about Hage at 41. It will just never happen. 6 more days

 

[HoweFan]

What about Hage at 41. It will just never happen. 6 more days

He’s fourth on my list for the 15 pick, behind MBN, Sennecke, and Stolberg. He may very well be our pick if we don’t want a dman when the other two are gone

 

[Realgud]

Would be fun to do a last run before the draft with McKenzie's list if it ever comes out.

 

[Henkka]

The Athletic did this mock:

Detroit Red Wings
15. Michael Hage, C, Chicago (USHL)
47. Ben Danford, D, Oshawa (OHL)
80. Ethan Procyszyn, C, North Bay (OHL)
126. Ben Merrill, C, St. Sebastian’s School (HIGH-MA)
144. Vasily Zelenov, RW, Rb Hockey Juniors (AUSTRIA-2)
176. Svante Sjodin, C, Orebro Jr. (SWEDEN-JR.)
203. Stepan Gorbunov, C, Chelyabinsk Jr. (RUSSIA-JR.)
208. Charlie Forslund, LW, Falu (SWEDEN-3)

Imo, it's pure craziness to do a mock past 2nd round.

 

[SantosHalper]

208. Charlie Forslund, LW, Falu (SWEDEN-3)

Heeeyyy they copied my pick and not a single dollar have come this way for consultation fee.

 

[Realgud]

Now up to date with McKenzie's final rankings (and, as always, back filled with Central Scouting). I made sure to remove every doubles I found and I think everything is good now. If you find anything wrong, please let me know! Doesn't matter too much for the Wings, but I've also updated the draft positions for each team.

 

[Realgud]

15 (1). Michael Hage - 6'0 ¾ - 188 - C/RW
47 (2). Luca Marrelli - 6'1 ½ - 185 - D
80 (3). Herman Traff - 6'3 - 203 - RW
126 (4). Riley Patterson - 6' 0" - 192 - Center
144 (5). Fyodor Avramov - 6' 3" - 190 - Left Wing
176 (6). Viggo Gustafsson - 6' 2" - 194 - Defenseman
203 (7). Alexander Siryatsky - 6' 2" - 159 - Defenseman
208 (7). Brayden Edwards - 6' 0" - 186 - Center

 

[norrisnick]

I tried one, and SJ inexplicably picked some dude ranked 28th and Chicago got Celebrini so I closed the tab...

Lmao I don't think that has ever happened to me. I did make it possible for 1st overall to drop but it's rare. I made it impossible last year with Bedard.

Anyway, the picks you'll get for the wings should be realistic enough, which is what matters.

 

[Realgud]

Um, new update: Added the 53rd pick.

We get an extra pick. Wooooo!

Another one with different players and the extra pick:
15 (1). Adam Jiricek - 6'2 ½ - 167 - D
47 (2). Linus Eriksson - 6'0 - 189 - C
53 (2). Tarin Smith - 6'1 ¼ - 187 - D
80 (3). Ilya Nabokov - 6'1 - 179 - G
126 (4). Elliott Groenewold - 6' 2" - 200 - Defenseman
144 (5). Christian Humphreys - 5' 11" - 170 - Center
176 (6). Thomas Desruisseaux - 5' 11" - 162 - Center
203 (7). Viktor Olofsson - 5' 8" - 173 - Left Wing
208 (7). Blake Montgomery - 6' 3" - 180 - Left Wing

 

[Realgud]

Bye bye extra pick

 

[SantosHalper]

15 (1). Michael Brandsegg-Nygard - 6'0 ¾ - 207 - RW
47 (2). Adam Kleber - 6'5 ½ - 215 - D
80 (3). Melvin Fernstrom - 6'0 ¾ - 188 - RW
126 (4). Herman Traff - 6'3 - 203 - RW
144 (5). Hagen Burrows - 6' 2" - 174 - Right Wing
176 (6). James Reeder - 5' 10" - 168 - Right Wing
203 (7). Carson Pilgrim - 5' 11" - 163 - Center
208 (7). Caeden Herrington - 6' 2" - 189 - Defenseman

I can live with this.

 

[flychairman]

On low randomness:

(1). Michael Brandsegg-Nygard - 6'1 - 194 - RW
47 (2). Stian Solberg - 6'2 - 194 - D
80 (3). Raoul Boilard - 6'1 ¼ - 184 - C
128 (4). Jacob Battaglia - 6' 0" - 196 - Right Wing
144 (5). Lukas Matecha - 6' 3" - 196 - Goalie
176 (6). Pavel Moysevich - 6' 4" - 187 - Goalie
203 (7). Landon Miller - 6' 4" - 193 - Goalie
208 (7). Martin Haronik - 6' 5" - 198 - Goalie

 

[Frk It]

I am tempted to go Eiserman/Howe/Fischer when I run this… and I feel like not doing so is bad juju.

 

[wingsnut19]

I'm a big fan of "would crash HFBoards" mode:

15 (1). Ivan Demidov - 6'0 ½ - 192 - LW
47 (2). Berkly Catton - 5'10 ¼ - 175 - C
80 (3). Liam Greentree - 6'2 ½ - 215 - RW

176 (6). Egor Surin - 6'0 ¾ - 197 - C/RW

[Run the Jewels]

203 (7). Timur Kol - 6'3 - 198 - D
208 (7). Lucas Van Vliet - 6' 2" - 175 - Center

 

[DoMakc]

I've got some results from Henkka's simulation:

15 (1). Dmitri Buchelnikov - 5'10 - 163 - LW
47 (2). Dmitri Buchelnikov - 5'10 - 163 - LW
80 (3). Dmitri Buchelnikov - 5'10 - 163 - LW
126 (4). Dmitri Buchelnikov - 5'10 - 163 - LW
144 (5). Dmitri Buchelnikov - 5'10 - 163 - LW
176 (6). Dmitri Buchelnikov - 5'10 - 163 - LW
203 (7). Dmitri Buchelnikov - 5'10 - 163 - LW
208 (7). Dmitri Buchelnikov - 5'10 - 163 - LW

I'm bummed you didn't trade down to acquire more draft picks to draft more Dmitri Buchelnikovs.

You might not like it, but this is what peak drafting performance looks like (yes, I considered Brady Cleveland too).

This draft class is right up there with the one from 1989.

 

[Oddbob]

SJ picked Dickinson 1st in mine.

 

[wingsnut19]

SJ picked Dickinson 1st in mine.

They picked Cole Beaudoin in one of mine, and that was under normal randomness. And then the next time they took Parekh. Maybe a bit too much randomness with the first pick?

Possibly, haven't paid too much attention to the 1st overall since the Wings picks are what I focused on and the available players were always realistic anyway. But yes, I can fix it if it bothers people. I'll do something about it tomorrow. I'll make sure the top 5 has much less variance.

 

[Rolo Tomassi]

Okay, I turned it up to “would crash HF,” but I think the results are fairly realistic:

Detroit picks:

1 - Celebrini
2 - Iginla
3 - Solberg
4 - Emery
5 - Surin
6 - Howe
7 - Koivu
7 - Zetterberg
