[DustyDangler]

Has Chernyshov been discussed? 6'2" 196lb. Go with a D 6OA and try to package picks to get to a late 1st for him?

He’s 16th on my list. I’ve watched a bunch of his MHL games. He’s one of my favorite players in the draft. I don’t think we’ll be able to package 2nds to get in his range.

 

[Kaizen]

Button's list (as usual) is considerably different than a lot of the other talking heads.

Craig’s List: Konsta Helenius, Tij Iginla push into top five | TSN

The 2024 NHL Draft is loaded with a number of quality defencemen, but TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button sees forwards making a late push toward the top.

I hope we move up a bit to get Surin with our 2nd pick. He seems like a BA prospect and a tough center. Him and one of Buium,Dickinson or Levshinov would be sweet.

Very curious to see the Hawks moving up from 20 OV to 18 OV, a month before the draft.

It might be the weirdest NHL trade I can recall.

I think the most important take away is #61 moves the Hawks up a total of 6 draft spots.. 2 spots was in the top 20.
Value wise that mean we can get to 30-32 with #38+ another second potentially? Maybe cost us another pick?

 

[lanky]

Seems pretty steep of a cost to move up?

Yes. And move up for which target? Which kid did they have much earlier on their list that has fallen further in the draft than they thought he might?

Oh right…we’re a month from knowing.

Strangest trade I can recall.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

the only thing that makes sense is that the Hawks have a top 18 that is a 'tier' above all the other prospects, and they want to make sure they get 2 of those kids.

If it isn't that, then the trade makes no sense at all

 

[Kaizen]

Pretty unlikely the draft plays out with the 18 names on Chicago's list...

feels like they galaxy brained themselves into this move.

Exactly. Maybe there are 12 kids they like and they think the rest suck? They hope at least one of the 12 is there at 18? Or….?

Hey guys. Did an all-encompassing Yotes/Utah draft-centric podcast and it's free. Mostly geared towards new Utah fans so there a good chunk of history-related stuff but most of the episode focuses on Armstrong and the job he's done. The draft preview portion that begins with a review of the top picks from the 2021-2023 drafts starts around the 2:01:00 mark and Utah options for No. 6 begins around 2:37:30

I llve Steve but he gets so off topic. I’m an hour in and he’s giving a history lesson on the Lindros trade.

Edit: once u get past the non Utah stuff though this is must listen to podcast. Super great. I also subscribe to Steve. He’s worth it.

Great stuff Steve! Always enjoyed your content. One quick point: Bill Armstrong’s St Louis contract prevented him from participating in the Mitchell Miller draft. Steve Sullivan ran that draft for them.

I’d be very pleased with that result.

 

[Heldig]

The number of picks Armstrong has accumulated is ridiculous. Really hope some of them can be turned into actual NHL players via trades.

I can't even remember last NHL team other than Yotes last year that has this much draft picks at draft. Utah has many options on how they will approach the draft.

I’d be ok if they used all of the ‘24 picks but then traded a bunch of ‘25 & ‘26 picks.

Bill Armstrong was at Game 2 of the Memorial Cup. Drummondville vs. London. Presumably watching Sam Dickinson.

You had to remind me......

Sullivan was one of the few guys in hockey-ops a former intern said over on Reddit was an absolute prick. Sullivan knew he was on his way out the door after the draft with Chayka gone and made one last FU move with the Miller pick. And BA still got stuck with it being his fault.

And hopefully Sam O’Reilly for 38th overall. I love both players. I also really like Brunet on Deummondville for one of our 4th. I’d like to pick up Pier Brunet and Francesco Dell’Elce in the 4th. I got to see the latter live in the playoffs last week when I was in Penticton. Kid can really skate and move the puck.

I think if they can get another 1st round pick they should if interested. Something around 38+63+72 or 38+49+63 maybe can get in 23-26 range. Wonder if Toronto already knows who they want at 23? Depends on which later 1st round team needs more picks or staying with what they got. 1st pick should be defenseman and if they can get another later 1st pick be looking at best available.
