QOTD: How would YOU compare this NHL Draft Class to other years? Is it ELITE, Solid OR Mid? Let me know folks!! #GravGang
The kinda draft you'll look back in 10 years and say "wow can't believe X superstar player fell to 26th and Y team passed on him".
Best kinda draft tbh, full of surprises and it will be fun and hard to predict
I just can’t get over Zayne parekhs stats this season I mean 33 goals as a D men in his draft year is nuts
ikr
I’m hoping that if the Blackhawks at worst case fall to 4th overall that they draft Parekh. Drafting him early at 4th would be reminiscent of Makar’s draft, and with stats like that he could potentially be the next Makar
Went full Mike Green in the OHL
I used to look at those stats with awe, until I got to watch one of the Saginaw games in person. That team is just awfully coached. Their team has so many talented forwards yet the entire offense relies so much on their defensemen. I mean those defensemen are good players, but in that system the Dmen stats are heavily inflated while forwards suffer with stats and with their development.
like 25 are from powerplay
If my Sharks fall to #3 in the draft, I’d be very comfortable with them trading down a few picks and still getting Dickinson, Parekh or Buium along with additional picks. We have so many gaps to fill that if we cannot get Celebrini then we are better off securing additional picks in this or next year’s draft.
(fellow sharks fan here) really stoked at the potential of making a big leap in our defensive prospect pool this year; with 4 picks in the top 50 there's a really good chance of us drafting two top 6 forwards and two top 4/5 dmen. Personally I wouldn't want to see us trade down if we get #3, I think they're going to know who they want in that tier of players left and because any of those guys could be taken at any spot other than #1 we could potentially lose the guy we want. Personally I think Dickinson is a bit of a reach at #3, I'd rather have Levshunov/Parekh/Buium at that spot. What I'm really interested in is who we take at #14 (assuming it doesn't move) because the most likely best options there are somewhat risky picks in Eiserman, Connelly, and Yakemchuk. It's gonna be a super exciting draft!!
I agree. Only person I would be unhappy with them drafting would be Levshunov or Silayev
I'm glad we're getting Celabrini baby!!!!! Maybe we should trade up a bit and get one of those guys you mentioned
@@aserodriguez1425 I don't really see a trade happening, trades into the top 10 are pretty rare (not to mention the extremely high cost) and most of the teams who'd be willing to trade are playoff bubble teams looking for good players right now, which we don't really have or aren't willing to part with haha. Maybe Grier will work some magic, but I'm not anticipating us making any moves in the first round.
Always a great show😊
Altough I won my dynasty pool (again), my defense is my weekest spot and I staked up with Perekh, Buium, Yakemchuk and Silayev ... I'm bound to keep 1 or 2 for a long time .... also drafted Helenius and Eiserman in case they break out ... we'll see
Flames at 9th, im happy with any of the concensus rabked top 14 or 15. My favorites, Lindstrom and Helenius.
I’m pretty hyped up with this year’s draft class. Lots of very good options on the top 15, heck, even in the later rounds there are quite a few prospects that also look good. In terms of how deep this year’s draft class looks, I think it just might be as deep if not more deep than last year’s draft.
has to be the best D prospect class in a minute
As a sharks fan this is important for me
We need to expect to be disappointed lol
I'm positive we're gonna get number 3 but we can still get a very good player in a position we need. If we get celebrini, that's a wonderful bonus.
The lottery takes place on my birthday, number 1 is the only thing I want lol
The fact that he predicted Nylanders 2 goals is crazy
Celebrini is a more complete player than Bedard, he would have been second to Bedard last year.
Idk about more complete player, but yes definitely better than Fantilli or Carlsson in my opinion
@@Mcbikey24 Well, Celebrini is an excellent 200 foot player, a bit like Crosby, Bedard is not as good defensively.
@@stockey true but I think Bedard is just better at everything else
@@stockeywe don’t know how Celebrini’s defensive game stacks up against against nhl players…also Bedard was asked to be his teams entire offense. Can’t expect him to go 100mph scoring and creating goals.. and then also go 100mph on defense…at 18yrs old.
@@Mcbikey24all 3 of them will play for team canada this month
Excited for the first Utah draft.
Really hoping the Sens can get one of those top 3 right shot defensemen
In this draft there's maybe a few really good forwords after that theres alot of what if's and mite be's but if ur looking for defense it's a good draft... lol
Nylander take aged well
was gonna comment that lol
I am real into Konsta Helenius and see him as an EP-40 2.0 and hope if the Flyers do not get Tij at 12 then I hope they draft Helenius...As an added bonus for Flyers fans, Konsta truly dislikes Cutter Gauthier refusing to shake hands at the World Juniors this past winter and this fact ALONE will make him an instant hero in Philly haha!!! I will be looking forward to this draft lottery this upcoming Tuesday ;-)
I live in Vantaa, Finland. I went to the IIHF U-18 championships game, USA vs Finland in Espoo Tuesday. Our President, Alexander Stubb was there too. I was also at the Canada vs Sweden game last week in Vantaa. Gavin McKenna plays on another level. So fun to watch him in person. Konsta is super intelligent. He reads the game at a much faster speed than almost everyone else. I would love to see the Sharks find a way to pick him in the draft. We need more Finns on the team. 🏒💪🇫🇮
Tij a middle six? Why are people so down on him lol. He's easily gonna be a 30-40 goal scorer who does it all. He even has potential to score closer to 50. You'll see.
30 to 40 is a hard task for any player outside the elite of the elite.
Top 6 probably more accurate but 30-40 is a tall task for a lot of players
He always says things like this 😆 a player this team takes at 5th overall should really be a good middle 6 forward 💀
@@ryanwasiak7050 you'll see. He has an amazing shot but works very hard for his goals he scores in many different ways which is why I think hel even out score eiserman
having potential is one thing, but as we know, you need way more than potential to make it big in NHL.
Tij's record in WHL, as impressive as it is, have been beaten by many other past players, many of whom are still yet to make an impact in NHL
Will Anthony Romani be a second round pick? Scored 58 goals as an 18 year old. Steady progress in North Bay the past three seasons. His coach played in the Wings org for 4-5 years so maybe they have some inside access.
Where do you see Senneke ending up in the draft?
I think it’s funny you didn’t mention maxim masse kids got it big snd strong has a nose for the net decent skating imo one the best options for round 1
you should make a video about james hagens he has 19 points in 5 games in the u18 :o
The top 3 is not close to last years. However the 2nd tier is deep. There's like 10 guy's that I can see top 5. If that wasn't complicated enough, there a surging power forward I would not be surprised makes the top 10: Sennecke.
One thing that we will see is someone willing to trade up to #2 and try for Levshunov
I’m having an existential crisis with this draft wondering who the Flames will draft.
Is Ryerson Leenders American or Canadian?
If blues can get Buium or Jiricek at their pick or trade up to get one of them. Id be happy
Where would Matt rempe rank in this class?
Last
Right now Ilya Nabokov is the best goalie of this draft. Mb u know some Russian goalie- shesterkin, vasilevski, sorokin? Nabokov is better than these 3 goalies, when they were 21 y.o. He is youngest khl playoff mvp and top 1-3 goalie of khl season.
I wouldnt want my team to pick him up. Hopefully the league starts black listing Russians.
Bedard x Demidov 🔥 ⚡️
Does Celebrini go before Carlsson and Fantilli last year
Great Question... Even though they keep saying Celebrini is not on Bedard level I feel like he is not that far off than most make him out and I would definitely pick Celebrini over Carlsson & Fantilli but definiteky NOT over Michkov however...
I think he goes 2nd overall if he was in last year’s draft class. I see him being a slight tier above Carlsson and Fantilli, but not at Bedard’s level
Ducks would have take him. The little ball of hate appreciates 200 ft players, likely why he doesn’t like Zegras
I was like “why is this kid talking about the leafs mid May?” Then I realized the video is two weeks old.
This draft is top 13 and then everyone else
Calgary has to draft Tij right? c:
shhh
If Montreal, Ottawa and Seattle passes on him, then most likely Calgary will select him
Demidov nickname in the NHL, should be 'Demigod'.
Ottawa played the second half with the sole goal of making their draft odds worse..... So frustrating being a fan of them. Not that we would have gotten number 1 anyway, but still frustrating.
Ottawa played to make improvements to there game and figure out what they need to do to improve. This isn't a team looking to rebuild its a team that needs to fix what they got. The core guys are already locked in. If anything they should just trade there pick for a right handed D and find some way to fix this mess in net.
@@jonhoban2326 Thats what we said last year....and the year before.....and the year before....and so on. Its not a market that can add great players in FA.. They need to draft and develop their talent and they don't do that. The way North American sports tends to work is you need to lose to win. When you hang out in no mans land you're doing something wrong. Sure you can find an impact player late in the draft, but you tend to find players like Crosby, McDavid, Bedard and so on at the top. These are guys that give you sustained success, direction and a player to build around. They keep trying shortcuts and temporary fixes, they'll trade draft picks for guys that don't end up sticking around, or guys past their prime vs just rebuilding the right way. As a fan, Im okay with tanking and losing.....but sustained losing? No.... well be going on 8 years since a playoff appearance... The draft lottery and process as a whole in North American sports ideally is designed for the teams at the top and bottom to rotate. You lose, you draft top talent, you rotate to the top as the better teams players get older, move on and so on. Obviously it doesn't exactly work like that in real life, but generally the concept still does hold true for the broader outlook. So with that in mind, a team sitting at the bottom or near the bottom for as long as Ottawa has speaks to bad choices being made in the key areas needed to rebuild. Id be perfectly happy to be proven wrong, but its not looking likely. Just cut the losses and improve odds. Sooner or later they're going to have to start pointing the fingers at the people making those decisions....instead of blaming players, firing coaches as scapegoats, the people making the decisions are the only ones left to blame after this long. Just a poorly run organization.
@@jonhoban2326for the love of all that’s good, please, don’t ever piss away yet another first round pick. I don’t need Staios being Dorion 2.0 😭
This draft is giving me big 2017 vibes. Around this time that year people were talking about how weak of a draft class it would be. But now you look back and see that draft had a crazy number of star players. I wouldn't be surprised if that is similar this year
I dont think people are saying its like that draft, this is still a very solid draft just not 2023
2025 Draft James Hagens and Porter Matrone and 2026 draft Gavin McKenna, are legit franchise changers.
What about Mcqueen and Misa for 2025?
@@kevinherale4391 behind them
@@kevinherale4391 They are good but so far not on there level
Not everyone draft will have franchise changers, only one on that list is McKenna
@@nicolastomas8436 have you seen Hagens? That guy is nuts
The wings pick 18th this year
15th (unless they trade back).
8. parekh ohl top d man is having a tuff time in playoffs. Already missed three games and didn't finish two others in playoffs is just dishing off on pp right now not shooting at all and is toothpick thin with scouts watching.
I think the best player in this draft won't be taken in the first round. With all of the uncertainty following the first couple picks I think there's so much guess work and luck through the first two rounds that someone's going to get overlooked.
The best player is poirier of baie-comeau drakkar 17 years old and he score more than 50 goal the Last player to do that is Sydney crosby
The best lol!!! Arrête de niaiser
If you pick 1 or 6-20, it's a very good draft. After that, pretty average.
Just about anyone 6'3" or taller is prolly gonna need time as they tend to develop alittle slower
Wrong
@@speedybure I can smell the sub 5'10" on you, don't be jealous lol
@@BigJim5754 - What the hell are you even talking about. Saying "anyone 6"3" or taller is probably gonna need time as they tend to develop a little slower", just sounds idiotic. Why would you think that? It's more about the position; defenseman typically take longer to develop, same with Centers as they have more responsibilities than wingers. I'm guess you just started paying attention to the NHL this year.
@@speedybure Ryan Getzlaf, Correy Perry, Quetin Byfield, Dustin Penner, Patrick Maroon....theres five 6'3" or taller players who showed great talent and put it together allstar level 22-26..... and I didn't even expand outside LA market. Larger bodies tend to finish growing later, but u wouldn't know bout that. Sometimes its better to remain silent and appear foolish then to open ur mouth and remove all doubt ;) PS the fact u took so much offense, sniff sniff, yep lol
Man i think Reinbacher is going to be great but with how stacked this draft is on defense i find it hard to warrant taking him instead of a forward. Other than being right handed and being a potential linemate with Hutson.
Fantilli > Celebrini
Please look up how to say buium
He needs to act like he's watching FV score a goal on his Stars while eating something delicious. Boo Yum.
I hope the habs get iginla to replace Gallagher.
Plz eiserman wings
I think the strength of this draft class is the defensemen. These players are not as flashy as last year’s guys but I think there’s a ton of potential and quality this year.
u forgot to mention Veeti Väisänen. Great d-man if wee look at his skating and puck moving, just needs some physicality to be a NHL player. Played full season with KooKoo in the Finnish Liiga, thats really good for young guy. There isnt any other d-man in finland as young that played full season
I think there's an elite top 5 this year in Offensive and Defensive talent, but not generational talent. A few franchise player (Celebrini, Demidov, Lindstrom and Silayev, Levshunov)
Will Smith
Bedsy was the jackpot hit for my Hawks, now we are getting Celebrini too lol
Outside of Hawks homers, no other fan base wants you to get the first pick.
@@damonmusha6504 LMAO xDD
Betteman?
🚨🚨Celly&Bedsy🤞🤞🚨🚨
Macklin.celebrini.with.blackhawks.
@@YvonjrPierre-mb9hp you forgot “Big deal”
You should work TSN or sportsnet
Nobody from the QMJHL? At all? I guess there's not much scouting in eastern canada, but you missed a few goalies and a couple d-men who statistically anyways deserve to be picked in the late first round, Gill on defense is obvious but there's at least 3 high potential goalies, a couple of brothers who are in the posts in 2 different teams, one is 20 years old and surprisingly not been drafted yet and his younger brother is having insane stats as well, a third one comes to mind with a win loss ratio that's inhumane (17-1-1) in his first season, I forgot their names but they are eye catching. There's some a couple forwards that I would definitely pick up, in the second round though, like why is nobody giving a chance to Antonin Verreault?
MID
Barely mid
This draft is so mid that I’ve already been more enticed by the 2025 draft
There are always diamonds in the rough though. Look no further than the crappy 2012 draft and yet Vasilevskiy came from it.
Tell me your team is outside the top 15 without telling me 😂😂
Your comment is so mid!!!
2025 draft is weaker. A bunch of older prospects born in November and October, all of which would go behind Celebrini
This draft class is a bit weak, in my opinion. The only guys who appear to have real “NHL superstar” or legit top line potential are Celebrini, Demidov, Catton, Parekh, and Eiserman. Levshunov and Silayev are massively overrated. Dickinson has yet to show that he can put all his (admittedly impressive) tools together on a consistent basis despite being given every chance to do so in a proven London Knights program. Lindstrom is big and skilled and I understand the hype around a guy like that, but the sample size we have is WAY too small to put him in that category. Helenius, Buium, Iginla, Yakemchuk are all pretty much surefire NHLers, but they don’t blow anyone away like the 2023 heavy hitters did. It’s a meh draft class.
