My Flames often win round 4. This year we won round 5. How the hell was Misa available at pick 150 and why didn't we take him in the 4th round to keep our dominance there intact?
Winners and losers of the 2024 NHL draft?

This website is so bad rn. Can’t use it/post or scroll at all without extreme difficulty.
Just seems to get worse and worse.

Losers: American fans watching from their couch. That ESPN panel was absolutely brutal. The post pick interviews were horrible. The insights were abysmal. Everything about it from an information standpoint was trash.
If anyone knows how to watch the full Sportsnet broadcast and or could send it to me, I would be FOREVER grateful.

Who's the clown?
To be fair, if the Flyers drafted Buium, he would have either refused to play for the team, come down with some mystery ailment that would make him retire early, changed careers and become a head chef somewhere - undoubtedly it would not have worked out because this is the Flyers way.
We can all be happy they didn't draft him so the kid can go and have a great career. Instead, we took a future 3rd line center so we can stay mediocre to bad. The hockey gods will allow this.

Grading the Caps' draft will likely hinge on whether Terik Parascak ends up justifying the slot he was taken at. He's high reward, based on his "point accumulation" ability and reputation for work ethic and all situations play could end up one of the best players from the class, but he could also never solve some of the concerns that prospect analysts had for him going in.
IF Hutson ends up closer to his brother than a Christian Djoos type for example that could also move them into a 'winners' column.
Ask me again in 5 years.

Doesn't the "IMO" make them subjectively better?

Luchanko came on in the eyes of scouts. He's faster than Helenius, but otherwise plays a similar game, and is almost the exact same size. Coaches love him, and praise his IQ. I don't see any difference between him and Helenius- I like both.
Luchanko was a decent pick, and if PHI doesn't need an offensive LHD then i understand the move. In real time, they had very little time to make a deal, and i can only assume that MN's was the best one, allowing them to move back only one spot, still be able to pick the player they wanted, and gain a 3rd out of it.
I really like Buium, but like most prospects in this draft besides Celebrini, he has his flaws. He needs to work on his defending, and skating(mostly for speed).

Very jealous that players like Artamonov went at 50. That's fantastic value.
Rangers missed out some some players that dropped by not having a pick until 119, which they moved up to grab. (Seemed pointless by then). I said this was going to be a draft where players are going to drop to the 2nd/3rd round and teams having multiple picks would make out with a lot of potential. Oh, well. I don't hate their first pick in Emery but i'm not super hyped over it either.

Sharks, obviously winners.
Habs winners cause Demidov fell.
Flames winners as well, very pleased with their draft.
Losers? Well clearly the Flyers, Leafs and Oilers.

I am curious to know who Montreal was targeting when they moved up to 21.

Originally I thought it was to target stolberg,
or maybe a more enticing piece for a potential trade they were working on, if Demidov didn’t fall to them
It was Hage all along apparently. Hughes mentioned he had a trade in place for the pick if he didn't get him. Toronto thought the same way.

Hard not to win with Celebrini. Dickinson falling was... Something else. I'm less familiar with prospects outside the 1st round, but we landed a 1st round calibre guy at #33. Super, super happy with this draft. Things are looking up, finally.

Some people really have it all
If they were watching Demidov closely, I would imagine it was Surin. They battled a great series in MHL playoffs, and Surin lifted his stock from a 2nd to mid 1st there.
