2024 NHL Mock Draft: McCagg's Surprise Habs Pick! - Prospect Talk #55 

crusty McCagg lol... Rocco I wanted to hear about your golf game.... Good show as always guys...

better trade down if they want sennecke that bad. don't care if he becomes the 2nd best player in the draft, no other team has him that high. would be atrocious asset management to spend a 5th on a kid that won't even be at the combine.

This group of podcasters know absolutely nothing about the Anaheim Ducks. Look at the Ducks draft history. No way no how would any of you pick Silayev at 3rd. You guys need to do some actual research. Prediction is Silayev doesn't get drafted lower than 7th and could easily go outside the top 10. I love mock drafts but the Ducks hate really has gone way too far. Cayden Lindstrom or the Michigan State D-men are you choices. I'd love to hear your reasoning behind taking Silayev at 3. Linstrom is the absolute mold of what Verbeek covets and you know that guys. The Ducks don't even need Leshnov based on the system of defensemen already in the pipeline. I understand taking Silayev in the 7-16 range but he is not a top 5 prospect in this draft. Also only 12 players in Anaheim history have been draft by the Ducks from Russia. Only once has it been a 1st rounder and that had caveats because he was playing in Canada already (Pavel Mintyukov 9th). So your predictions are appreciated but it's a pipe dream if you think Anaheim will draft Silayev. In my opinion the pick is Leshnov or Lindstrom (I prefer Lindstrom due to skill/size/and upside). Only once since 2003 has Anaheim selected anything but a Center or Defensemen in the top 20 (Bobby Ryan). Even more evidence includes the last time they took a player from the KHL was Stanslov Churnov and that is the literally reason they stopped doing it until two years ago. Cayden Lindstrom is the pick and the evidence and history will play out when the rubber meets the road June 28th. Also in the 30 year history of the franchise the Ducks have only taken 23 players from Russia.

No surprise at all , we knew how high Grant is on beckett sennecke

Anaheim not taking Levshunov is wild! Biggest need is RD and he is arguably the best fit.

What a reach for Sennecke... at this point I rather pick Sam Dickinson and make a huge splash for a offensive dynamo. Sennecke feels overrated no physical game, defensive play meh, great hands but often dont generate a A+ scoring chance. His shot is good but not impressive as mention by McCagg. Barely a point per game. I dont see a 80pts nhl player at all. good 2th liner winger with good speed and hands like Patric Hornqvist in his prime arround 60 pts is my prediction. Yakemchuk over Dickinson for me is freaking silly

I’d be happy With Senneke at 5, or Iginla

This is hard for me to get behind. Grant isn’t choosing who he thinks they’ll pick, but who he would pick. They’re then not really a mock draft.

I hope Grant is right and the Habs will take Sennecke over Lindstrom and Iginla... He is the total package the perfect fit for Mtl...

nope im all in with parekh . not going off board for senneke thats crazy talk . there is no reason for risk at 5. you draft parekh .

As a sharks fan we need a defensive man Cole would be insane if we got him or tij🔥🦈

If Sennecke is still on the board when New Jersey is up at 10, what do you offer to get your hands on Sennecke? You already have Lindstrom or Tij, that you picked at 5. Forget picks, they have said they are willing to trade no 10 for help now. Would you do Savard and Beck? Is it enough?

I feel like if Sacha Boisvert is available at 26, and Habs can't figure out a trade involving that pick which brings back an exceptional return, Habs will select him. It's not every day you get a chance to select a 6'2 goal-scoring forward who also happens to be "un gars de chez nous". Just my 2 cents CHeers

This is the only place I've seen Sennecke referred to/listed as 6'4 lol. Will be interested to see what the he is listed at from the Combine.

Mailbox will be traded with their Winnipeg pick to either move up or a proven player from new jersy. No one is going to trade a proven goalie for a.No 10 pick.

Flyers taking Hage is a horrible take come on just say you don’t like the flyers. Wasted a half hour of my time watching this. Flyers are rebuilding, you take BPA not someone projected to be a late first rounder. I dropped a dislike 👎🏻

As a flyers fan I would despise both picks

There supposedly is a combine for the Russian players around June 18th in Florida !

As a Wings fan, if Eiserman is available at 15, I don't see how we don't take him

Hage at 12 seems crazy to me. Trading back a couple spots if we want him.

Mcagg a spitting image of the Janitor from Futurama - Scruff Scruffington

Lol why was mccag so mad about Shane asking dude a question about his golf game

Whats the website you use for your mock draft?

why is Grant such a hater?? always something salty to say about other people

Hawkesbury Golf Course is a good one.

For me personally I hope the Habs take Iginla over Lindstrom and Sennecke… If Demidov is there by some miracle of course take him, But Iginla should be the guy for the Habs… He’s probably the 3rd best goal scorer in this draft, His playmaking is very underrated, Great skating and speed, He’s actually pretty young for a draft eligible, Plays hard all the time never takes a shift off, Knows how to win in big moments and I believe he can still grow to around 6’1 because he’s still 17 years old… I personally like Iginla more I just like his style of play more and he will be a DANGEROUS playoff player… my comparison for Iginla is Wyatt Johnston… I remember back in the day scouts didn’t believe Jerome Iginla was gonna be JEROME IGINLA… I see the same in Tij, I think when he’s 21-23 years old he’s gonna be way better than people think he will be at this moment…. If the Habs Draft Sennecke I’ll just have to trust that route they take but I think ultimately Iginla will be the better NHL player… I also believe Iginla will be better than Lindstrom as well when they are all in their primes Sennecke, Iginla and Lindstrom I believe Iginla will be the best out of the 3….

The line we're gonna hear more than any other this draft is "We were shocked he was available; we had him much higher". I expect to hear that from most GMs from pick 4 onwards. There seems to be the least consensus this draft than any I can remember. I expect a whole bunch of off the board picks. Also thank you Grant for steering the conversation away from golf quickly 2:22 was damn funny

If Mn takes Solberg at 13. I’m going to be pissed. I would love him with our2nd rd pick but not our 1st. There should be far better choices available

Grant hating immediately 🤣

Sleeping in Parascak the Jarvis of the draft

Honestly I’ll only be ok taking Sennecke if both Demidov & Lindstrom are off the board, we can’t pass on guaranteed high end talent AGAIN

Grant the last player that went undraft and then was pick in the first round was Chinakhov! I'm glad for your succes! Glhf better known as golf!😊

Rocco I love hearing about golf and how people rounds went. Miserable old Grant is obviously just jealous you found something you enjoyed that keeps you active!

Hage to Flyers. Ridiculous! I'm glad he's not the Flyers Gm. Over drafting a guy to look like he's the smartest guy in the room. Another Hextall. Hehe.

Russian will tend their own combine with the best russian propsects later in June in Florida, NHL team WILL be able to see and talk to the russian players...

I would love to see Vanacker, hailing from Tobacco Town, ON, in a Habs jersey. Would finally get to see a kid from my hometown on my fav team. DELHI WHAT?!!!! 👊

Optimal scenario would be that Iggy goes before Lidstrom. We have no center depth in Calgary. If they’re both there bet ur whole check they’re taking Iggy which sucks that they’re handicapped in a way

Do you think there's a possibility that the Washington Capitals make a trade with Chicago or Anaheim to select Demidov? They might want a new star Russian?

Smelling that Los Angeles Air... OK that why I cough so much... :----)

I’d take Pulkkinen at 28 for Flames in my opinion. They have lots of depth at defensive minded dmen in the system. Pulkkinen offers a different dynamic to the system.

I think adam jecho would be a good pick for the habs , not at #5 for sure but he is a smart smart player, big body

Curious to know where you guys have Andrew Basha. Surprised he wasn’t in the 1st round

Would love if Jesus was the gms for all the teams in the top ten. Would make some teams happy for stars to fall and instead relied on upside

Blackhawks trade 2 to Montreal for 5 and 26. Montreal takes Demitov. Chicago takes Iginla and package 26 and 18 and tries to move higher. Or stays and takes best player. I know they like Hage.

If Levshonov is already taken by Chicago, I can see Verbeek taking Lindstrom. Anaheim needs a right dman or a forward...and Verbeek likes players with size. Time will tell !!!

Why does grant always bash Rocco?

Even if Dickinson is available to Buffalo (I don’t think he will be) I can’t see them taking another offensive minded left hand D when they already have Dahlin, Power AND Byram… there’s just no room for him unless you’re going to play someone on their offside which means you’re not going to be getting the best out of someone…

Curious to know who you guys actually think Habs will take because Grant was drafting based on who he would take. I think everyone else likely would take Lindstrom over Sennecke if he's there

i feel like this video was reuploaded 3 times

Chinakov was an overager.

The Blackhawks have the 18th pick

T.O is taking Emery

Grant man…😂😂..ok. No golf. 😂😂

No one talking about Rutger McGroarty not signing with the Jets. He was far better than Nazar at Michigan last season. Habs should be all over that.

theres a seperate camp for the russia players, keep up

Yeah I really like seneka !!

Brunicke> Elick

could see chicago snag senneke

Hey the kid scored 47 goals the last 2 year's wooohoooo

Great choice Senaka...

IMO Habs should trade Caufeild to Utah for 6th pick... Habs get rid of a $8 million contract, Utah gets an American born player as a so called star goal scorer.

Habs gonna trade for PL Dubois.
