Thread: Could I Get Some Scouting Reports On These Guys
Yakemchuk -> Big RHD who scored 30 goals this past season and plays with a mean streak to his game. Some of his puck management and defensive fundamentals leave a lot to be desired. His rankings are all over but I'd suspect he's gone somewhere in the top-12, maybe as high as top-5

Catton -> Center who is an elite skater and just put up extremely impressive WHL numbers this year. Really smart player but his size, an underwhelming end to the year and a lack of some of the "big stage" visibility make some people speculate he'll slip a bit on draft day. Could go as high as 5 or as low as 15, he probably deserves the former but history shows there's a real chance the latter might happen

Buium -> Small, smart defenseman who put up absurd NCAA scoring results this year and won a Gold medal as a DY eligible player at the WJC. Plays with an edge to his game while maintaining a crazy high hockey IQ. No part of his physical toolbox is super impressive, but he doesn't have weaknesses either. Should go in the 6-10 range.

Helenius -> Smaller Center who put up quality results against men in Finland this year. He's a really good skater with high end playmaking habits, but he's not much of a goal scorer and has underwhelmed at times on the international stage. Will probably land in the 10-14 range

Eiserman -> He is incredible at scoring goals. He is not incredible at anything else. Will go in the first half of the first round, will depend on which team feels comfortable with the risks of his flaws.

Greentree -> Big winger who put up really good results on a terrible OHL team this year. Bad at skating but can really shoot and competes hard. Showed non-typical leadership skills by wearing a 'C' on his jersey this year. Has not impressed at international events and looks inconsistent at times. Should go in the 16-24 range, but a team could reach on him,

Brandsegg-Nygård -> Really smart forward who is known for a smart defensive game and putting up strong performances with the spotlight on him. Doesn't have a skillset that most people think will translate to a star NHL forward, but the floor is very high and the micro stats seem to think there is untapped offensive upside there. He will most likely go somewhere between 10-20

Hutson -> USNDPT all-time scoring leader for defenseman, but he is small and has struggled at times to the point where he has not entirely alleviated the notion that he is translatable. Too much of a wild card to even begin justifying a draft order selection

Jiricek -> Defensive defenseman who showed he could keep up with men in a professional league despite being one of the younger defenseman in this draft. Got hurt in the winter and missed a lot of time. Has good size and moves pretty well. My guess is he's specifically going in the 11-16 range

Connelly -> Bigger skilled forward who can play wing or center. Put up strong USHL results and has impressed on the international stage. Has off ice and character concerns. Another total wild card come draft day

Thread: Bob McKenzie Midseason List
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NotDougWilson</b></div><div>There's no way Zeev is going to be out of the top 10. I haven't quite looked at his defensive game, but if he's dynamic on both sides of the ice then it should be a no-brainer.</div></div>

It’s Denver…system hockey. So not always easy to judge. But Zeev isn’t putting up points by being their best offensive dman. He is their best dman. I think Zeev ought to be in 7-10 range.

I just find Bob McKenzie’s painfully obvious Canadian homerism to be funny.

(Sometimes he even makes fun of it himself)


In 2015, it was: “McDavid is generational”

In 2016, it was: “it’s Matthews but let’s talk about how he is not as good as McDavid”

In 2017, it was: “Nolan Patrick was a lock, top 1C”

In 2018, It was: “Dahlin, Svench…some other guys, Quinn-something…and then, the Canadians!”

In 2019, it was: “okay, maybe it could be Hughes, but here is why he won’t be best player from this draft”

In 2020, it was: “Lafreniere is generational”

In 2021, it was: “Power is Hedman…Kent is a magician…some Beniers guy, no one thinks Luke is any good”

In 2022: it was “Shane Wright’s draft to lose…tightens grip on #1”

In 2023: it was, “Bedard is generational”

In 2024, now, its…shocker…Celebrini. Because of his point totals as draft-eligible NCAA player. (But the dman who same point total…where’s he from? Oh, he falls out of top-10 and doesn’t get mentioned).

Thread: Maybe 2024 is the year of the Dman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>I hate that term, a Ferrari is better than an F-250 but not if you want to tow a trailer or go off road. Just because a player is the best player available doesn’t mean he is the best player available for your team. Now if Dickenson was an Elite generational talent and the next options are depth players and long term projects yea BPA, but if the option that fits a huge need is almost as talented as the better player who plays a position your already stacked at for the foreseeable future then you have to make the smart decision. Dickenson might end up the better player but Lindstrom could fill a huge hole in the sharks future lineup and provide far more value.</div></div>

Ferrari: $300,000
F-250: $50,000

One can sell the Ferrari and purchase six F-250's

I hear what you are saying...but BPA is usually best route.

(also...lefty/righty is overdone...Devils won three cups with no more than one righty on roster...in the first, they had six lefties).
