2024 NHL Draft: Play with no weenie, for Celebrini

[Dr Jan Itor]

Celebrini/Smith is a nice duo for SJ.

 

[Sweetnut]

Yeah, Celebrate that Mackerel now, Sharks. But you're still got Addison on your team.

Will Chicago draft Demidov or Levshunov? Either way, I hate it here.

 

[Roman Maroni]

Stuck at #13. Booo. Can't wait for Chicago to win it again...

Stuck at 13? I was Shittin tacks that the Wild were gonna drop even lower….

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Could make a compelling case for either. A winger for Bedard or a partner for Korchinski.

OK, so if Eiserman drops to us, do we take him, or go with someone else? If any of the top 6 Dmen drop to 13, i want him. Still like MBN, Greentree, and Sennecke, but man, Eiserman has scored a lot of goals.
Isn't it about time for @Digitalbooya to to a draft ranking poll?

I'll start it on the 20th of this month. That gives us 39 days to do the first round (32 picks).

If he's the only one that drops, I'd definitely put him in the conversation.

 

[physicaIgraffiti]

Does this count as Chicago winning the lottery? They "won" the draw for the 2nd pick in order to keep it so does this lock them out for the next few years?

 

[MuckOG]

We can get a good player at 13.

Could have had a better one at 10

 

[BagHead]

Maybe. We got Boldy at 12, and the only way to get a better player that year was drafting 1st.

I’d rather be 10 than 13

 

[57special]

Yurov was 25th, JEE 20th, i think? Tuch 15th or so?

I see all the top 6 Dmen being gone. If not, then any one of them would be a nice choice. If not, the top 7 forwards would be Cele, Demi, Lindstrom, Catton, Helenius, Eiserman, Iginla, Eiserman. I could live with any of those. There might be two or three of those 13 available, if any of the teams see things differently, which is common.

I have a hard time with Eiserman personally. I’m hoping for Yakemchuk or Helenius.

I would be curious to see if Guerin is willing to take a Catton or Helenius if they’re there.

I'm wondering if Parekh drops. Unlike Buium, he has a slight frame, and i think a lot of GM's will have doubts that he can replicate what he has done in the OHL in pro hockey. I would like to take a chance on him, and possibly Sennecke, who will take quite a while to mature, but might end up being a top 6 W.

If Catton or Helenius is there and he doesn't take him i will be pissed, unless there is someone else really good who hasn't been picked. They both reek of hockey sense.

I think Yakemchuk will be gone. Too much to like in that package.

If it comes down to Catton and Parekh(unlikely), I would probably go Catton, but with Parekh you could hit a HR.

Depends on what the Wild's board looks like versus how the draft plays out.

Well I’m hoping their board suffers a tragic wastebasket fire and they have to go with the consensus pick which would have worked out better than every time they’ve gone to “their board” in the past.

So they should get rid of Judd Brackett and go with the 'consensus' #10 pick in online mock drafts? Which mock should they follow?

Well , I don’t think Judd wasted a first round pick on Stramel so there’s that

 

[MuckOG]

So, we are in agreement. They should let Judd and his scouts determine the Wild's draft board and not online mock drafts (or Bill Guerin).

NHL Mock Draft 2024: Macklin Celebrini to Sharks as we pick for every lottery team

The Athletic's NHL writers make the first 16 picks in the draft order, and Pronman audits the picks.

Joe Smith took Adam Jiricek at #13.

13. Minnesota Wild: Adam Jiricek, D, Plzen (CZECHIA)​

There were a few targets that were chosen right before the Wild’s pick. Cole Eiserman and Carter Yakemchuk. There was an offer to move far down in the round. But for a Wild organization still trying to figure out what they have in their blue-line prospect pool, Jiricek provides another strong option. Injuries could have led him to drop some, but he’s got the size (6-2) and two-way game. — Joe Smith
