2024 NHL Draft: Play Like a Sieve So We Can Draft Zeev

[Juxtaposer]

I could see Greentree. Celebrini and Greentree are my wish list players right now. I would be pretty damn satisfied to walk out of the 1st rd with Celly and Eiserman though.

The one scenario where I’d be actively happy with Eiserman is if we also had Celebrini. Those two guys have proven chemistry.

Great. Tuesday. Total loser's day. We are not winning it. Damn.

Greentree is super skilled but has heavy feet, though I think I like him more than Matthew Wood last season. Sennecke is a big question mark but has a lot of upside. MBN has everything you want but maybe doesn’t have the scoring upside of the rest, and he might be a little small relative to the style of game he wants to play (sort of like Ryan Leonard keeps getting physically destroyed in the NCAA).

Gun to my head, I might take Greentree. But Eiserman is probably the BPA, so if we take him with your tier of 13 off the board (though I don’t agree with Jiricek in that tier, it’s not unreasonable), then I’d probably be okay with it.

Funnily enough, I also had the MBN = Leonard parallel, or even Iginla. Power forward winger, skilled but hard-nosed with scoring, but a bit undersized to really play that game, all of them.

Greentree -- I was super intrigued but the heavy feet scare the hell out of me. It isn't like Yakemchuk where it looks like he has a lot more mobility and speed with a few years of technique and mobility training... I worry Greentree's just not explosive in his big muscles, just not enough fast twitch. Jason Robertson isn't fast but he's way more mobile than Greentree looks.

That's why I've gotten more interested in Sennecke or Chernyshov at 14.

I kinda get complete bust vibes from Sennecke. Just a gut feeling. Chernyshov is somewhat interesting.

I would put Chernyshov in that tier with the other wingers.
Still agree with the others that ideally you'd hope Iginla is still on the board.

Wingers: Demidov > Iginla > others

Iginla scored 2 goals today:

CAN 6-0 CZE | Canada - Czech Republic

Looks like he won't be there at 14

Why are we at 18.5% odds instead of 25.5%?

72 hours after the lottery we will know about the Pit pick

The difference between 18% and 25% is when a team 12-16 wins we didn’t win the lottery but we would pick 1st.

18% is the odds of Sharks winning the lottery.

25% is the odds the Sharks pick 1st overall.

Gotcha, I'm now realizing this has already been discussed ad nauseam in this thread but the NHL's post threw me off guard once again. Stupid lottery.

There’s unfortunately zero chance Iginla is there at 14. He’s so, so good.

On top of being good enough to be a top 10 pick, Calgary's got #8. I don't think there's a chance of him getting past Calgary now.

MBN with all 4 of Norway's goals today. Norwegian Ryan Leonard, possibly. Sure will be an interesting 8 weeks till the draft.

 

[Grinner]

Just saw where Nygard scored all 4 goals in a 4-3 win over Denmark

 

[Hodge]

Potential to be the best Norwegian player ever?

Be that as it may, I see the potential and fit to because top 6 RW for the Sharks for years to come

Sign me up. Looking like a great year to have that extra pick in the top 15.

Definitely. I wouldn’t hate him at 14, he’s the type of player every team wants, even if he doesn’t have the upside that some other guys would have. MBN is maybe a bigger and more skilled Zetterlund.

 

[CaptainShark]

I have MBN rated a little higher than most. He doesn’t have the greatest upside, but he looks like a very safe pick and he seems like a very good fit to play on a line with our skilled playmakers. So I would be fine with taking him.

Regarding Eiserman: I think I read somewhere, that he is best friends with Celebrini, the article stated that they talk on the phone daily… IF we get #1 and Eiserman, there would be a little bit of extra value in it for me as I think it could make it a little easier down the road to keep Celebrini happy

I'm not making a pick at 14 "to make someone happy".

If you think that is what I was suggesting, think again

You think MBN has potential to be better than Zuccarello? Think that’s incredibly unlikely.
