2024 NHL Draft thread....now in spheremode.

1) Fuck
2) There is no such thing as a third pair shut down defenceman. That's like saying a 40 goal scoring 3rd line centre.

If he's anything like baumgartner you need guys like that to deal with the Bennett's of the world

 

[MindzEye]

Yeah. Hard to question Wes’ picks so far so I suspect ppl poking fun at this pick will look kinda silly.

This is not the type of prospect I like at a glance. But I assume Wes spent a bit more time scouting Tim than I did.

Dan Motherfucking Benford babay

No, numbnuts.

Easton motherfucking Cowan.

 

[Habsy]

Who?

 

[MindzEye]

Who?

Same kid I mentioned 2 pages ago that's better than that Russonazi Dumbledore kid you drafted tonight.

At least bamford is better than the guy they took last year.

The underlying data on all of their 1st/2nd round picks under Wes have all been superb I believe. Even when the picks are reaches. I wonder how much they use data to make these decisions vs pure subjective scout shit.

No they visit the Oracle who shows them the One.

32 apples without pp time is real good.

1 g isn’t - though he scored 4 in 20 playoff games

 

[MindzEye]

Oh Danford?

Nah, the Demimoore kid

Woah, he's 3x better than Cowan

 

[Habsy]

Nah, the Demimoore kid

Can't wait til someone blows up Cowan. My money is on Guhle.

Apparently Ken Bamford had a solid second half offensively. Idk about the splits but that sounds awfully familiar to Cowan last year. Entire body of work may not look so hot but he showed progression.

Habs took Yakapov

FYI, Brock Otten is a genius.

 

[Habsy]

Habs took Yakapov

Who

 

[Preston]

Ok I'm sold. They got a steal. Better than Liljegren, Debrusk and Tavares combined.
