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

Being Canadian I want the Oil to win, sorry Bettman. I also can't see Florida losing after coming so close last year. That team looks determined and I think they'll win in 5.

Yes please.

boo that sucks

6pm start. Unless you live on the left coast.

Coach benched Danielson? Any clue why?

I saw the highlights which wasn't much tbh. Looked like Kasper, Mazur and BearGrin were great. Hopefully they start the game on Sunday like they finished this one.

I wouldn't do it. I'm liking where we're sitting at 15 compared to who might be there at 18. The mocks are all over the place though compared to previous years. There are 25 kids that have been listed as top 15 picks which tells me no one has a handle on this years crop.

Islanders and Chicago swap 2024 picks. I find it strange to make this kind of deal before the draft considering the Hawks won't know who's available when they pick. Unless they've done their big draft board and they think only 18 kids worth picking in the 1st round. NYI get 20, 54, 61 Hawks get 18, 50

I really like Iginla, but he's probably going 6-8 and I don't want to spit up our future 1sts for him when there are some tough fast kids available. I'm hoping SY lets the draft come to him as there's always a couple of guys that fall. No Zadina jokes please....lol

I'll take either guy instead of trading the pick. Prefer Eiserman over Nygard by a bit.

They were talking about Necas.

I liked Mazur and BearGrin on the first goal by Czarnik. Both keep their head up and make smart plays. The next couple of years could be fun in Detroit.
