2024 Draft

[Krustchev]

Apart from the legit top pairing RHD who can play right now.

Dickinson-Reinbacher for a decade +

You're just as "annoying" as Habdul is with Catton. Stop already.

Who pissed in your Borscht this morning?

Scouts and draft pundits are dead-wrong lots. IE, just recently, Shane Wright for example. So I would argue Catton is a better player without hesitation based on many factors. One being:

But total points tends to incorporate health as well

Sure McDavid got hurt his draft year...

But with CHL guys as a bunch of the real good ones miss time for the world juniors.

Fowler was a homerun

Maybe. Goalies develop weird.

Actually all the goalies we drafted did well. So let's draft more this year and trade them for offensive talent.

The weird overage draft strategy sucked.

 

[Sal_Butera]

In his most recent talent rankings, Pronman drops Demigod to 8 best prospect… just behind Catton and Sennecke

Top-10 ordered in projected Tiers per Pronman:

1-Elite- Celebrini

2-Bubble elite - Levshunov

3-NHL All-Star - Yakemchuk, Silayev, Buium

4-Bubble All Star - Catton, Sennecke, Demigod (#8 - below avg skater)

5-Top of the Lineup Player - Parekh, Lindstrom (#10 - below avg hockey sense), Dickinson (#11 - below avg hockey sense)

I would draft a goalie every year but not in round 1 and hope one hits one day

Yeah i would take a freakish 6 7 Latvian tender in the 5-7 round every year and wait to hit.

If taken solely in term of potential and ceiling, that doesn’t seem too off.

I will disagree .....Dickinson (#11 - below avg hockey sense)

Skill grades are evaluated based on 5-criteria:
- Skating
- Puck skills
- Hockey sense
- Compete
- Shot

Pronman views this as an avg draft cuvée

 

[lecoqsportif]

Then take Buium and pair with Reinbacher for a decade plus.

I seriously don’t have a horse and there is no race. Take the BPA with roster construction in mind.

I think the top 10 will be a very good draft like 2015 minus McJesus , with no major busts .

There are too many good D that fit top 4 on any team

yup , dont fuck up this draft and get an impact player at any position

 

[Sal_Butera]

Wasn’t sure where to put this…Fight Cam has arrived!

Habs have been doing that for at least decade

Point rate is more important than total points imo

Well, Catton had 1.71 PPG this year in the WHL, this sits as the 3rd highest PPG for a WHL draft eligible player over the last 20 years. He only follows Connor Bedard (2.51) and Sam Reinhart (1.75).

As much as people (for some bizarre reason) want to downplay Berkly Catton, the numbers say different. They say he has the potential to be a generational player. And if one looks into the intangibles (drive, commitment, IQ, competitiveness), it only bolsters that possibility. And not to mention he did this on a very weak team, with linemates who had no business on any CHL teams #1 line.

Too many vowels. Sounds vaguely Russian. Probably a homophobe and a fascist too.

Who Buium? His parents were former Israeli athletes before immigrating to US
