2024 Draft

[Habsy]

It's highly likely Demidov is there. While that should be the pick I know it won't be.

 

[LesCanadiens]

Since there's a crap ton of D I wonder if Hughes can pick up another couple of high picks and just move down for Eiserman or Catton.

Maybe if Iginla is on the board and they're happy with the 2 you mentioned, they squeeze a 2nd out of CGY. EDIT: But I doubt Catton and/or Eiserman will be there at CGY's pick.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Greir already saying that he's taking MC. Not sure I've ever seen a GM immediately say who they're taking.

Celebrini grew up in SJ, started youth hockey there while his father was working for Golden State and he’s the consensus 1OA…. a no brainer

Calgary is trading back to 20?

He's absolutely a no brainer... I was just a bit surprised that he said it out loud. I mean hockey people will call and injury "lower body" when you watch someone break their leg.

 

[GEEMAN]

Same even though he is small

He isnt small but needs to add weight

 

[LesCanadiens]

The combine is going to be extra important this year, IMO, due to the injury issues with Demidov and Lindstrom.

 

[Sal_Butera]

That's what my buddy and I were just saying. Depends on Chicago. The next two go D I think.

Yup but they don’t have that top pairing D in their system, the quality of one’s available this draft - I don’t see them passing up this opportunity to grab one

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Chicago will take Demidov

 

[lecoqsportif]

Anaheim picked up Gauthier for Drysdale, so they might go D.

 

[Krustchev]

Hughes just said that they will likely draft a forward, and one who’s ready to play in the NHL soon. Sounds like Demidov, Lindstrom or Sennecke. Catton is nowhere near NHL ready due to his size.

 

[GEEMAN]

Parekh has such a high ceiling. It's no joke that he's broken OHL records for D scoring. Super high ceiling. And apparently reports that he sucks in his own end are not accurate.

I watched him live 3 times , he is barely average in his own end

Same as Brzustewcz played on a stacked team and plays the entire PP

He is good but needs work

Bingo

The other 3 are 1-2 years away as well

 

[GEEMAN]

Yup , Fowler is done

 

[Krustchev]

That’s actually soon. Catton is likely 3 years away, if not more.,

 

[Habsy]

Chicago will take Demidov

Or Lindstrom

 

[GEEMAN]

That’s actually soon. Catton is likely 3 years away, if not more.,

He wont need 3 years , dominating the WHL and carried a franchise on his back
