2024 Draft

[Habsy]

McCagg says that Sennecke will be a 90-100 point wing, while Lindstrom will be a 55-60 point center, in the NHL. From what I've seen from Grant, however, his only "talent" as a scout, which I'm not even sure he actually is anymore, appears to be correctly guessing who the Habs will pick, not who will actually be good in the NHL.

And that likely comes from a scout buddy of his

 

[Habsy]

There's some question to Demidov's skating too.

You know who else had skating question mark? Wayne Gretzky.

The good ones can slow the game down to their level.

If mgmt thinks Dach is for real at C, Sennecke is a not a crazy pick.

He would a crazy pick at 5OA.

 

[lecoqsportif]

He would a crazy pick at 5OA.

A reach, yeah.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

A reach, yeah.

my elbow tendinitis hurts just thinking about the reach it would be.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Lindstrom skates beautifully.

Beautifullly? Not really, he has that weird upright stance. He has some speed and skates well for a guy his size, but beautifully I wouldn’t go that far.

 

[Krustchev]

A reach, yeah.

We'd be the laughingstock of the league . . . and deservedly so.

90-100 sounds crazy for Sennecke but 50-60 is my projection for Lindstron as well.

That being said Sennecke is way more skilled than Lindstrom, it’s not even close. Probably the best hands in the draft after Demidov. Great vision too.

He’ll crack the top 10 on a lot of lists by draft day.

it would drive a huge whole through the tank argument as we would have taken him and Judas top 5 in last 7 yrs

 

[GrandWazoo]

I don’t think Sennecke is crazy at 5. This is a weird draft, rankings don’t mean much this year.

Especially if Demidov and Lindstrom are gone at 5 then Sennecke suddenly makes a lot of sense.

if thats your projection for Lindstrom WTF bother taking him at 5

If that's the guy then move down to 7 or 8. Pick up another second

Agree, but I’d rather take Dickinson in that scenario.

While I completely get the narrative, we really need forwards and those mythical D for top 6 forwards trades are incredibly rare.

I hear ya. Just don’t know if Sennecke, Iginla or Catton really move the ball.

Fingers crossed for Demidov, I guess.

Because players with those dimensions are rare, every teams are looking for them, and can really make a difference in the playoffs. You just have to be realistic with expectations, I don't see high end skills but the skills he has are very translatable to the NHL game.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I'd pick Sennecke over the other two personally. All can be useful players though but I don't think there is a true top line player in that group (neither is Lindstrom btw) but I think Sennecke has an outside shot to develop into one.

Well, Gretzky is a once in a lifetime talent. Demidov looks awesome... But there's a lot of questions. Size, skating, level of competition... He appears to have huge talent... Hopefully it's enough to overcome everything else.
