2024 Draft Discussion

[lilidk]

I think it would be insane if Demidov was there at 5 regardless of if the Wings moved up, but I guess you never know after Michkov last year

It was a lot of talking about Michkov personality

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

I think we will have some solid options around 15 but I can't say I am exactly pining for anyone in particular. MBN, Yakemchuk, Sennecke, Connelly, Basha, Greentree and Hage are all fine. I probably like Eiserman less than others I guess (although I can totally see him coming back to bite me in the ass).

 

[heyfolks]

You can say that for any draft lol I pushed hard for months for raymond and kasper and he took them. Other times didnt ... we can never know 100% what any gm will take except the #1 pick

I just know we need elite talent upfront I'm not wasting a top 15 pick and possible trade up for a dman. We have seider and edvinsson ... pelikka buium wallinder Gibson johanson in the pipeline,free agency and trades

No ones trading you a top line forward and those barely make it to free agency. Draft a potential forward line guy


Cant see anyone taking pick 47 and berggren for pick 17. What do I know

I don't know what you know, they know but you clearly know one or the other is going to be drafted at 17. How you know and they don't know you know is not something I know.

What I do know is McKenzie does NOT have either ranked in the top 15, and the Wings own the 15th pick. Using Bob McKenzie's rankings, where he has Greentree at @17 and Hage at #36 leads me to state the Wings can draft Greentree at 15. I think we can agree that, according to Mr. Bob McKenzie, he will be available. That gets the one player into the system.

MR. McKENZIE has Hage ranked at 36. (See below for elite prospect rankings whereby they reference Bob's picks.)

Do you take the #47 pick and Berggren for the #36?

Just go for best player available.

So if Yakemchuk or Buium fall to 15, you take them?

​

SIDE NOTE: In my readings, I also like Cole Beaudoin.​

​

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Rhd? Right handed d man? I'm throwing my shoe at the TV if he takes a dman

Why?

If that RHD turns into an elite player, don't you want elite talent?

Yes, take and run

Some could get traded, some switch positions.

Agreed. High end prospects don't have to fill a positional need, they just need to be high end prospects.

Stevie's pretty good at trading. BPA all the way, every round.

 

[heyfolks]

The Wings are moving into the top 10... I can feel it.

[ricky0034]

well that was fast this year

 

[ShanahanMan]

Lame

Swear to f***ing god if Chicago wins again

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

What is so dumb is that the Wings are just now completely f***ed out of those 8 spots in the lottery forever. The spots we dropped because everyone else won. Now that we have advanced past the lottery and they changed it because Edmonton is dong water and were so bad to jump so many times… we can’t even possibly recover, even if we slip out.

Complete bullshit. We were only ever in a place to get f***ed over.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Last time we picked 15th… #71 was drafted… I’m feeling good

 

[ShanahanMan]

Wait what? You’re saying it’s impossible for us to be top 8?

[ricky0034]

that was funny to watch

zero movement anywhere

 

[schuelma24]

none of our underachieving division friends moved up so a good night.

Good chance to get a solid, bigger winger at #15 and an outside chance that Helenius or Catton falls due to size concerns.

 

[lhsgolf19]

Actually Cossa went 15th too but still

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Is it true Chicago is not eligible for top picks in 2025 and 2026 now?

 

[Oddbob]

Where are you hearing this?

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Where are you hearing this?

Seen a few people on Twitter saying it. Idk if it's true or not?

 

[Gniwder]

MR. McKENZIE has Hage ranked at 36. (See below for elite prospect rankings whereby they reference Bob's picks.)

Do you take the #47 pick and Berggren for the #36?

McKenzie is an idiot, and Hage will go much earlier. If for whatever reason Hage is still available at #36, you trade for that pick with whatever draft pick and spare parts you have for sure.

Seen a few people on Twitter saying it. Idk if it's true or not?

No, the lottery rule is that you cannot advance more than twice in any 5 year period.

 

[H3ckt1k]

Please do not say that about Bob

 

[jaster]

Teams are only allowed to improve their positioning via the Lottery twice in a five year period (beginning with the 2022 Lottery.

Chicago will win it next year.

McKenzie does not even rank the prospects…and he doesn’t claim to either.
He compiles a list based off a bunch of real NHL scouts who give him their opinion/rankings.

That is also a reference to a mid term list. The recent list was only top 15.

 

[raymond23]

I will never forgive the league for the stupid f***ing lottery bullshit we went thru
