I think there's a reason we got a 2nd tossed in. I think Gibson is going to be a stud D. Boo hiss. For me solberg plays like Seider/Kronwall. He fashions himself a Seider clone, but I think his hitting is mostly Kronwall when he's facing a player and Seider when he is fetching the puck in our end. His offensive side is really good for a kid most scouts are saying is the best def D in the draft. I'm all for it if he's still there at 15, doubt it though.

One more day to go mfers I can't wait

Brady. Meet your maker. After the last game in 2022 when the Sens ran roughshod over us...... git im Touba-l

SY maybe having the option to switch 15-14 with SJ?

dumping Jake's 3.5 and needing to add a 2nd as well?

wtf?

Where are we going to find room for him? Assuming we have Eddog as well as AJo in Detroit.

Lots of good info here and thx. I'm still holding out hope for a Wallinder + 2nd + 4th scenario....lol

Yep I get that, but I thought the kid wanted to turn pro and the Jets wouldn't guarantee a spot on the roster. We may have to pay more if SY thinks the kid is NHL ready, which probably isn't the case since he would probably want McG to excel in the AHL first.

The Jets can sit back and wait for a bit can't they? I'm thinking Winnipeg would ask for Ed in return and maybe SY offers up Johanssen/Wallinder/Berggren and a 2nd? Gauthier went for Drysdale

Same with Gustavsson. Why trade for a guy so that Minny can open a space on their roster for a loser rookie who isn't as good as ours.

Guessing we'll be talking about FA at some point once we decide who's staying and who's gone. I'll start. Maybe Elias Lindholm 5X6.25 ?

Not sure that's the case now, maybe back at the start of 2024 it was. Most of the sites are looking at the 4-14 range as a pretty good crop based against other years. Hard to argue with the top 4 picks in 2023 as they all could have been #1's in different draft years.

She says; 'I thought long and hard' Seems like a good kid with great tats

As of 2 days ago it was Catton. When/Where did you see this?

Interesting that the latest Craig Button and McKeens Hockey mocks have us taking Catton at 15. https://www.mckeenshockey.com/nhl-blog/mckeens-hockey-2024-nhl-draft-guide-two-round-mock-draft/

I've been looking at some kids that might/could be available at #15. This is my order and why. #1 Stian Solberg LD who lists Seider as his favourite player, has nice edge work and can be nasty like Sieder and Kronwall. #2. Michael Hage C a tonne of offensive upside and a good compete level. #3 Carter Yakemchuk RD great shot, big kid with okay wheels #4. Michael Brandsegg Nygard C a tougher Bear-grin clone that might stick at C If Catton or Silayev slip..... pretend you didn't read this.

Athletic take on some specs from multi-scouts. I thought it was interesting. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5517608/2024/06/11/nhl-draft-confidential-2024-scouts-executives-celebrini-demidov/?campaign=10125878&source=targeted_email&userId=7355198

I don't know. I've seen enough of Mazur to know he's a menace with better wheels than Tuz, and I think his head swivels quite well for a kid in all zones especially on offence. I think he's a really good playmaker and is top 6 all the way. Sure, start in the bottom six and get the feet wet. Kip has had the most eyes on this kid and welcome his more in-depth appraisal.

Couldn't make it to the Michigan Central re-opening event, but saw it televised. The builing looks incredible inside and out. The music was okay and altogether I think everyone had a fun night out. I'm sure you can find pix and vids if you're interested. Good on Detroit.

Since we'll probably be drafting in the 20's range starting next year, I hope SY takes a shot at someone he loves that falls to 6-8 range.

Good call
