[MarkovsKnee]

So, @MasterMatt25 has til 4 pm to pick.

 

[KevSkillz4]

I already have my little list for the 16th. I will be happy with the player who will be there at 16. I can't wait to announce my pick!

I really like the top 16, so I'm happy to be picking at 16.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, I'm autoing @MasterMatt25 at 4 pm. That's 5 minutes.

 

[MasterMatt25]

Anaheim selects Sam Dickinson

 

[Goldenhands]

select Anton Silayev LHD.



@Vachon23

 

[NeptunesTrident]

I realize this is a mock draft but I would've bet that Levshunov would've gone top 4. This just validates that everyone has players ranked differently. Nice job guys!

 

[Vachon23]

Arizona Coyotes are proud to select from Michigan State Artyom Levshunov

No brainer, he’s the BPA at this point

@calder candidate

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Anaheim selects Sam Dickinson

You snuck it in! Good job! I got pulled away so couldn't get back til now.

Nice pick.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

3 D went in top 5.

Simashev Levshunov is a nice top pairing to be fair. That being said I could also see ARI go for a puck mover

Very good pick imo anyways

 

[Mrb1p]

Thats actually exactly how I expect the top 5 to go in real life lol. Maybe swap Lindstrom for Silayev.

@calder candidate

I demand proof that this man is actually 18 years old.

 

[RationalExpectations]

select Anton Silayev LHD.



@Vachon23

Do you really see Silayev go that high ?

#6 MTL

On the behalf of the Montreal Canadiens organization, I would like to thank the Golden Knight and their fan for an incredible hospitality.​

With the #6 pick in the 2024 NHL draft the Montreal Canadiens are proud and excited to select from of the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL.​

Berkley Catton, C 5’11’’ 170lbs​

“A kid who can play anywhere up front and has high hockey IQ in all three zones. He was Spokane's best player last season in the dub, and Canada' best player in the Hlinka-Gretzky Tournament, continuing this season to almost single-handedly being the reason Spokane is in the playoff race. He is a clutch performer and elite playmaker with speed and lateral quickness, great hands and vision, and has shown exceptional improvement in his ability to finish. Very comfortable in the slot area, with quick puck touches while in traffic. Has a very hard shot and release. Has a terrific initial burst, great scoring touch and quick hands. He drives pucks hard to the net and creates chances with extra effort on follow ups. He is a dominant offensive force and elite playmaker, and appears to always be a step or two ahead of everyone else. He leaves very little doubt that his offensive skills will translate at the pro level. The vision and creativity of his passes screams the chance he may be a first line NHL centre, but his size tempers that idea but most will be comfortable projecting him as a second lien centre.”​

It could, I have him ranked 1st among the defensemen of this draft personally.

Ok fair enough, I am a bit afraid of his decision making sometimes but need to account for that he is playing KHL which is very rare f suh a young player.

ANOTHER SMURF HERE WE GO

I don’t hate Catton but I wouldn’t be happy with passing on (MOD)

 

[Treb]

Reminder to avoid mentionning people not drafted yet!

Honestly I’m at Isaute with the kid I had made the write up this morning Catton is my second pick didn’t expect that my first target would have been available and I don’t expect him to be there in real life anyway…

 

[KevSkillz4]

select Anton Silayev LHD.



@Vachon23

I believe that the account of @Goldenhands have been officially hacked.

 

[MasterMatt25]

You snuck it in! Good job! I got pulled away so couldn't get back til now.

Nice pick.

Sorry about that. Was running errands. Just glad I didnt get auto'd haha

Given you didnt like Reinbacher, Im not expecting you to like Silayev either, both are defending beasts, they are elite plays killers with great skating mobility, long reach and underrated offensive tools.. Silayev is a 6'7 monster who hasnt filled out yet, the upside is incredible.

Nowhere near Reinbacher who played like an animal most of the time. Silayev doesn't have the shot nor the playmaking that Reinbacher does, and lets be frank, the skating either.

17yo Reinbacher was in Swiss D2. 17yo Silayev is in KHL. He skates great btw, but can't tell for Reinbacher at the same age.

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

Columbus choice Silayev at 4 is all fine.
Silayev is a connoisseur drug. Stay high.
