Thread: First 2024 Mock with Trades
Gotta love and appreciate the effort on this one, seems like you did your research on everything well.

That being said, I don’t see Igor Chernyshov being high on Toronto’s list - at least the people I know that work for the team haven’t mentioned his name a lot.

Treliving typically doesn’t draft a lot of Russians and Chernyshov doesn’t fit his style of play. He’s more of a skilled playmaker and perimetre player whereas Treliving values the bigger, stronger, meaner guys earlier on in the draft and typically saves the skilled players for later in the draft as project picks.

I’ve heard they’re keeping an eye on Charlie Elick - a big, strong skating right handed defender playing for Brandon in the WHL. & that seems to not only fit Treliving’s draft history style, but also the team needs. Elick should eventually round out as a solid #3 or #4 defender that plays a push back style game - it’s something the Leafs don’t have a single prospect in the system that plays that way at that position so I gotta believe my sources are right that Elick is high on their board. If he’s available, gotta think Treliving runs to the podium to get him

I like the write-up...and draft analysis

On Markstrom, Pinto alone would be a steal for Calgary. Or the 8th overall pick alone would be as well.

If they are paying to move Korpisalo and are getting retention on Markstrom....maybe 8th/Korp for retained Marky.

On the Chicago/Seattle pick move -- the difference between #2 and #4 is probably more than a late 2nd pick. Its likely twice that.

According to the <a href="https://puckpedia.com/pickvalue" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Puckpedia Calculator</a>, the difference is equivalent to the #23 overall pick.

Thread: Mock with some Hot Takes Top 50 With Big Analysis
I mean this is certainly a hot take lol. And I'm not sure any NHL scout would agree. I think this is like people ranking Michkov over Bedard last year.

From a Sharks perspective, Levshunov is the right pick at 3, but that 16th overall pick doesn't make much sense. You said Sharks need a defensive forward, when they're stacked at that. They have Zetterlund (not a prospect) but they have Bystedt and Edstrom who are both 200 ft centers, as well as Cardwell and Graf who are 200 ft. wingers. Not to mention Eklund is unreal defensively.

Other notes, i think Parekh, Catton, Helenius and Greentree would be HUGE steals with where you have them. I can't see Parekh or Catton dropping out of the top 10 (could see both as high as top 5), and Helenius and Greentree as top 16
