2024 NHL MOCK DRAFT | May Top 23
Спорт
In this episode, we present our Top 23 Mock Draft for the 2024 class, including all the teams whose draft spots have been confirmed as of now! First, we break down the Top 7 with no surprises at #1 but with a RD going 2nd to Chicago and a dynamic winger going 3rd to the Anaheim Ducks. Next, we look into the 8 to 15 range, featuring some big swings on upside like the Devils swinging on Eiserman, Sabres on Parekh, and Wild on Catton. Last, we wrap up the show with the 16 to 23 range, including many teams already eliminated from the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs, such as the Vegas Golden Knights who make yet another smart safe bet on Emil Hemming, the Predators who continue their trend of going for maximum upside with Michael Hage, and the Toronto Maple Leafs who make true on their vow to prioritize physical playoff-style defenders by picking 6'3" RD Dominik Badinka.

Blackhawks will go with the best available at no. 2. That’s Demidov.
Unless he blows the hawks away in interviews With Connelly's off ice issues, I think the hawks stay far away from him. They are very particular with attitudes and pasts of players (example see what happened with Perry). Maybe Michael Hage.

Hage exactly how I think they will try going after. Just a great all around player with upside

Curious to hear if you think the Flames would trade 9 down to 14 and 33 with the Sharks if Tij isn’t available?… or if you think any other teams would consider this?

No.
Have you guys been living under a rock the last few years? No way the Hawks take Connolly. The number one criteria for them in hiring staff and drafting is character, have you noticed that Cory Perry isn't there anymore? Along with the entire office and coaching staff? The Hawks are a zero tolerance organization.

0 tolerance org 💀 they love sexual assault tho
you guys have done a great job with the top 23. Quick rational analysis for each team's pick and very thorough discussions of each players skill set. As a Flyer's fan, I think Helanius' fit with Michkov makes alot of sense and he should fit better for Torts as a committed two way player than Catton. Look forward to your completion of the first round. Are you waiting to see how the outcome of the playoffs will determine the draft order of the final 8/9 picks?
@LockedOnNHLProspects

Thanks! Yes, Helenius would be a nice stylistic fit in Philadelphia, but with how open the top end of the 1st round is, there are any number of possible selections in that slot, which is exciting. We are indeed waiting for the playoffs to wrap up in order to make our final mock draft, which will likely be split over 2 episodes so we can really dive into the rationale of each selection. Look for that in early June!
Great Show
Other than the much higher offensive upside, whats the difference between Levshunov, and Brunicke/Elicke?

The physical tools are a clear notch above, whether it be the athleticism, skating, or physicality. He also has a game breaking ability the others lack, which is why they’re in such distinctly different tiers as prospects
Anaheim would be broken if they got Demidov. Leo, Gauthier, Tavish, Demidov, Zegras. That’s cheating at this point

Zegras stinks unless you’re playing roller hockey and judging based on scoring Michigan goals twice a year. Kid needs to grow up. Gauthier is the next PLD, Laine, and Marner. If it doesn’t come easy then he won’t work hard.

Blackhawks will not take Connelly !!!
No way Connelly goes to Chicago. Not happening.
Could you comment some more on what you mean by Boisvert being such an islanders pick ? How do you think he fits with the red wings ? Do you see him as an NHL winger ? What year do you think he makes the NHL ? Great show as always. You guys are the best, most professional speakers about hockey anywhere.

The Isles love their smart, safe, physical, centers who can score goals, which is precisely what Boisvert is. The Wings certainly value his profile of player, but after picking Kasper and Danielson who are better versions of that profile, we doubt they spend their 1st on Boisvert. Boisvert is a likely NHL center, especially as it’s where his subpar skating is least detrimental. Our guess is that he contends for an NHL spot in 2026-27 and is a high likelihood NHLer the following year. And thank you for the kind words!
Columbus doesn’t need a LHD
I don't think there's a world the ducks take Demidov. he's a left shot, verbeek said he was looking for a right shot, he's also not huge or particularly gritty which are 2 things we know Verbeek values. Just doesn't seem like a Verbeek pick at all to me

Anaheim can’t score goals to save its life. Anaheim is not passing on Demidov if he’s there. Gauthier can’t score goals by himself with Vatrano. Demidov and Gauthier are the future in Anaheim IF he’s there

He would be on the line with Gauthier. Gauthier will handle all the checking. Anaheim just needs a pure goal scorer. And that’s what Demidov brings to the table. Anaheim would be extremely lucky to have an opportunity to get Demidov. He’s suppose to be better than Michkov from last year

Drafting Iginla 5th instead of Lindstrom makes no sense. Indeed, Lindstrom is a big center/winger which would be an ideal replacement at center if Dach still has problems staying injury free. Mckenzie has Lindstrom top5 versus Iginla ranked 10th !!!

@@Theon435 a real Devils fan would know he spent most of the time on the 4th line =P. But think of it like this. With Holtz, the coaches felt his offensive output didn't offset his defensive liability. With Eiserman, I would wager his offensive output would easily offset his defensive issues (issues that seem less than Holtz showed during his draft year)
I don't think Catton has any of the high end tools that Kane had in his draft year. Kane had next level hocky sense, and playmaking and the best hands for a prospect. Catton isn't at that level. Catton is more like Sam Gagner
