2024 Draft

Won’t be surprised either way with Jets pick.

It takes two to tango and other teams may not be offering the goods HuGo wants

Would have to include one of the surplus D and later round picks. We have surpluses to spend and some D will no longer be waiver exempt.

I’d rather draft him than Helenius but if we’re going F, as we should, I’d take Lindstrom, Demidov, Eiserman and Iginla before Catton.

I asked before, but honest question, beyond this-is-the-hill-I'm-dying-on...

Why is Demidov fine, but Catton isn't?

They're almost identical in size & weight, play the same position, shoot the same side, play a similar game, the only difference is their passports.

If you're going by the They won't draft Catton because historically, Bobrov doesn't take short players in the top-10! argument, fine. I get that. But you can't then just say, well I'd take Demidov.

Isn’t Demidov considered a better prospect? But I don’t think they’ll take him either.
 
Ever since the Russia-Ukraine war, any player taken from the MHL is a wild guess. The caliber of play is so incredibly low that it's legitimately difficult knowing whether a player like Demidov is actually great or if he's a big fish in a small pond.

I think at this point, both are similar in where they might go, with Demidov probably getting the edge. That said, if Catton has a great playoff run, I think there's a good chance he'll be taken before Demidov.
 
And good ones. Some teams will take a D. I think SJ does if they aren't first, which they won't be because we're winning it.
 
SJ is clear cut if probabilities hold

In that scenario it’ll be interesting to see what Chicago and Anaheim do.

Columbus. What a mess.

Anaheim is BPA, Chicago I think is automatic for a forward, they need talent up front for Bedard. SJ will go BPA, same with Columbus. Arizona may go D. Ottawa not sure, same with Calgary. Buff is forward for sure, Seattle goes D
