2024 Draft Discussion

[Snuggs]

Thanks for the attempted help; however, I'm helpless. Idk how to use that thing.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Would you take potential Compher at 15? Mid six who plays in any situation if so I believe Basha is the one

I like Basha and I guess if you want a guy who likely finds himself to be an NHLer like a Mathieu Perreault, then that's fine at 15

However I like the boom/bust guys that may be available there like Sennecke, Greentree, and even Hage as well. MBN as a more well-rounded guy could slip if teams start panicking and take all the defensemen beforehand

That's not gonna help us if we wanted him as an option at 15 lol

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

No kidding, knock it off Michael, you are messing with your proper destiny.

 

[letsgowings9999]

So what are some viable options at 15 if we were to stick? ( I'd still trade up 3-5 spots in a heartbeat this year)

Assuming

Celebrini
Levshunov
Lindstrom
Buium
Dickinson
Demidov
Silayev
Helenius
Parekh
Catton

Those 10 are taken before and these next 4 as well although some rumors of like eiserman dropping which would be ridiculous

Eiserman
Iginla
Yakemchuk
Nygard

We know yzerman goes off the board but is one of these next crop our pick??

Hage
Connelly
Sennecke
Greentree
Jiricek

Has to be right ??? I threw in jiricek cause I been hearing alot about him and how he had big upside. Could be a steal with him having missed a season?

That's not my main priority as I 100% want a forward but if we think hes a stud, with seider and pelikka that makes Gibson,tuomisto,johansson available in a trade package.

I'd have to look more into those 4. Would have said greentree but now I'm I intrigued with hage and sennecke. I just want a sure fire stud top 6 guy not a sure nhl guy who's just good.

I'm still moving up in a heartbeat for eiserman. Adding a 30-40 goal guy would be a big get

Anyone else who we might be looking at 15 if those I mentioned are gone ?

I was looking at miettinen on the 2nd round but he of course is now 18th on north american list. I doubt he trade back and get someone like him or lucas petterson instead?

Anyways sorry for the long rant, what are other viable options

 

[NickH8]

I really like Andrew Basha. Quick, hard working player. He could be a good middle 6 player.

Saw this guy Terik mentioned and looked at his profile: 43/62/108 in 68 games, late birthday, skating concerns, below 6'...

Now that's a Brayden Point type profile.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

My completely unfounded theory is that Iginla, MBN, and Greentree will all be off the board and the Wings will take Emil Hemming.

 

[cvaicunas]

Trade up if you like him that well. What does a trade up to 5 or 6 cost legitimately? 15 plus... what? ( Real question )

* Draft lottery luck and we just end up picking 5th anyways...

Flop the Senators to 9th! Awesome.

I still believe... until I don't

 

[lilidk]

I don't think Silayev deserves be top10, should be fall , Stay home defansman. He could be Seider partner in the future

 

[lilidk]

I hope Sennecke will be available at 15

I honestly don't know why people don't talk more about this kid as an option in the mid-first. I get that he doesn't have Greentree's or Sennecke's size, but apart from that I have a very difficult time arguing that those two are substantially more skilled or have a substantially higher upside than Basha. The motor and skating are just the floor for me. We want guys who play with the puck a lot and he is one of those guys. I can't think of anything Hage does better other than play center.

Freij looks sick, hidden gem

do we need more LD

 

[lilidk]

do we need more LD

No really, id rather take forward, but we should take best available player

It's hard to call him hidden gem when so many people talk about him

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

It's hard to call him hidden gem when so many people talk about him

he’s hiding in plain sight. A sneaky tactic

 

[Killerjas]

It's hard to call him hidden gem when so many people talk about him

I mean he is 2nd round pick looking at the rankings, thats a gem for me

 

[lilidk]

Scouch likes him more than most first round d

 

[Killerjas]

Scouch likes him more than most first round d

I believe he has him as a top 6 pick, which is very bold

 

[schuelma24]

Sennecke goal. Stock seems to be rising. Could be an option at #15.

That's Datsyukian

 

[lilidk]

I don't watch enough to judge if we have Larkin replacement in the farm . Kasper is like 2-3 line center and Danielson, I think will be better at wing , but I am not sure. Do we still need to target center in the first ?

What are you basing Danielson being better at wing on? He's played center most of his junior career so far.
