Who should the Chicago Blackhawks select 2nd overall in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft?

[Malaka]

Sounds like something someone 5'11.75" would say.

Speaking of Dahlin, I see a bit if his game in Yakemchuk actually.

Certainly if you were to pick a d in the draft that's closest imo.

With the dangles? Yeah I can kind of see it.

His skating isn't as fluid though.

Yeah the dangles and going at the opposition.

Dahlin's skating isnt as good either as was thought of pre draft, but yeah much more smooth in style.

The GIF tells me it's safe to assume Lazerus lurks here.

Pretty safe to assume that not only most the reporters, but probably a lot of analysts, players, scouts, coaches, and other organizational personnel lurk here(HF in general). It's the largest hockey message board in existence, and is relatively well-known around the world.

Well if Laz sees this, I want him to know that he’s a dumbass.

Hey Laz! You suck and we hate you

And he should go cover politics since Sports just aren't his thing.

I was looking at some Yakemchuk highlights.....this guy is right there with the rest of them if you ask me......physical, big shot, good hands, reasonably mobile....really like his game.

If he had Dickinson’s skating, he’s probably the no doubt #2 pick. He’s still really good and has a chance to be the best defenseman in this draft but the skating does concern me.

 

[TheDachKnight]

get way more Seabrook vibes from Rinzel tbh...Lev seems more like a Ekblad/Seth type...someone should put Lev and Seth side by side because it feels so similar the way they move around on the ice and handle the puck

Seth in his best years in Columbus was a stud. I personally see more Dobson than Ekblad. I also think he has more jam to his game than Seth. The draft needs to hurry up and get here already. A few months back, I was in the camp of if we don’t win 1st overall, give me whatever pick gets us Levshunov. The time in between is making people stir crazy.

I keep seeing things like this, yet we have some posters here who keep swearing that he's got a low hockey IQ. Things that make you go hmmm.....

 

[Sacha BOXviert]

You read some reports from the players that make you seriously think about whether they really see the draft prospects.

Lazerus being Musto makes a lot of sense. Both are annoying and act like they know everything.

Laz being Fiddy also makes sense in that nobody on the planet bothers to read what drivel they write on a daily basis

I have 50 muted. Sometimes I think I want to unmute him to see what he's been up to.

Yes, the direction of NHL central scouting has never seen Levshunov play.

 

[Chuck Testa]

If I'm picking a defenceman in the top 3 picks... I want a Hedman and not a Barker.

Controversial take.

 

[Chuck Testa]

Controversial take.

Just saying... investing a high pick in a defenseman and ending up with another Cam Barker would be infuriating.

People having different opinions on players is the least shocking thing I could see on this board.

Its just a quote from Craig Button.

Do you not want people to give opinions on prospects?

Does he slide out of the top 10 now?

Oh yea there's 0 shot he's going top 3. I don't even know if he slips to 18 if I want the Hawks to take him to be honest (I probably would actually he's too talented but I would also know that window of a long career is likely shorter than most).

Disc herniations aren’t actually a life sentence… of all the issues that could have been with his back, it might really be best case scenario (other than not having any at all)
