QUESTION OF THE DAY -- What Grade Do YOU Give GMKD For His 1st Round In The 2024 NHL Draft? Also, Which Free Agent Do YOU Want To See Signed On Monday??? HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!

@pjfoles 3 месяца назад

C+. With the potential of being a “F” if Demidov reaches his potential and Levshunov is just a good defenseman.

@darkstark1949 3 месяца назад

"Kyle from Chicago" might not be "from Chicago" much longer with drafts like this. Hopefully he's the smartest guy in the room, but most scouts had much lower ratings on all these guys AND he traded up to get 2 of them. We started the offseason with 3 2nd rounders, and now we have zero... yikes. We won't know how good these kids are for 2-3 years at least but right now I'm giving him a D-

@justinrenaud4818 3 месяца назад

I think saying most scouts had lower rankings on these guys is a bit overdramatic. Boisvert was expected to go top 20 and Vanacker was a late riser that fills the need we have for a goal scoring LW. Dude is a stud scoring 82 pts playing the entire year with a torn shoulder labrum.

@justinrenaud4818 3 месяца назад

For added context, boisvert and Vanacker had nearly the same ranking on NHL central scouting and NHL teams were clearly higher on both compared to consensus and lower on a guy like eiserman.

@MrNewstyle23 3 месяца назад

Same thing was said about Allen, Rinzel, Nazar and on and on. It was extremely unlikely the 3/4 you or most would want even live up to your expectations, draft is always a crapshoot past 5 especially in a non star studded draft. All comes back to developing and teaching.

I think you are underestimating Sacha Boisvert. FWIW, he reminds me of a prospect the Blackhawks drafted a decade ago - Phillip Danault. I am more upset about trading the two 2nd round picks to draft Marek Vanacker at No. 27.

@LockedOnBlackhawks 2 месяца назад

I wouldn't say I'm underestimating Boisvert, I had him ranked 22nd in the class. It wasn't a crazy reach, I just think he's a high-floor, low-upside player. Just my opinion. And Vanacker was going to get gobbled up by someone before 34, I 100% believe that.

@paulciavardoni8069 3 месяца назад

Hawks traded away 3 second round picks and got Levshunov-Boisvert-Vanacker. Three good players. I would have preferred not trading away three second rounders (technically one was a move up) and taken Demidov-Hage-Elick-Stiga-Skahan. I prefer the five prospects to the three.

@jms3261 3 месяца назад

When Levshunov is just another defensive franchise piece, along the lines of 5 to 6 other young defensemen already in the organization, while Demidov turns into an offensive force similar to Bedard, I will take out my frustrations on KD.

@kyledelcotto4550 3 месяца назад

There is no disdain for artyom… we love him on the team and are happy for him …but demidov and what we left on the board has me a little shocked.. the way the draft shook out we couldve had the best stick handler playmaker The best goal scorer And the best rhd defensive defenseman in emery

Entering into a draft with the second worst record in hockey is no time to draft with filling in roster needs in mind. A middling ceiling RHD and large framed bottom 6 center while passing on the waaaay higher end talents of Demidov and Eiserman is a gut punch. Draft Demidov AND Eiserman and you are coming at teams in waves! They already had some nice young D organizational talent. Fill in the need for RHD and size up front with trades, FA, and lower/future draft picks. Now was the time to add those franchise pieces only a rebuild can produce. Therefore, a draft grade of F.

Lev is not Makar or Bobby Orr. I don't believe he'll be able to live up to being picked that high. He may wind up being a good d-man but I think Demidov can be a 100+ point a year player. I don't think any Hawk fan was jumping up and down like last year. By the way, if/when Bedard is out with injuries in the future, who's the guy who can fill that level of skill? Answer: he was drafted 5th by Montreal.

You cant really rate a draft immediately, lets get real. Davidson has a staff of hockey lifers who have scouted all of these kids extensively, and they are pretty sure what they're getting. The fact that Demidov went at five should tell you something. I'll bet that most of those bitching about Boisvert and Vanacker have never heard of either of them.

@Chewbachi 3 месяца назад

@justinrenaud4818 3 месяца назад

People get locked into certain players forgetting that NHL draft rankings don’t really mean all that much past the top 10 players. Look at how Red wings fans reacted to drafting Moritz seider or how everyone was supposedly going to regret passing on Joe veleno. The D- and C grades are definitely overdramatic. We made 3 first round picks and got guys our staff wanted that are high character, high work ethic guys. Sometimes that matters more than flashy highlights and I like the guys we got (especially Levshunov). However, I also am not stupid and know they deviated from consensus rankings (like many teams do every year) so on paper it looks like we made huge mistakes. I don’t think it’s crazy to at least be excited about making three first round picks taking guys our scouting department wanted. And we have no idea what other teams’ boards looked like and there were plenty of non-consensus picks throughout the first round as per usual. This is just how the nhl draft is and guys we are convinced will work out often don’t and vice versa.

@jyynarpalisenniemi6242 3 месяца назад

I don’t have a problem for slightly overpaying even for a reach if that’s someone who you really want and you believe he could be gone by your picks. But passing on Demidov for fking Levshunov is DIABOLICAL
