2024 Entry Draft

Oilers are one McDavid injury from being a lottery team. Lol. But hey, at least they can push that pick to 2026 if they stink. Not sure I'd have traded into the late 1st in this draft. But they must see something they like.

Why would oilers do that? Chances are their next first round picks will be better than 32nd overall

Probably just hoping this kid contributes sooner rather than later to bring in ELC help to this current core.

So Matvei Gridin ended up being the pick we traded. I don't hate the pick for Calgary. Very talented, great shot/hands, and size. So all the tools you want but consistency in his effort seems to be the knock. For Calgary who needs upside swings I don't think its bad. 

 

A few guys I liked in my first round slipped out, if we had that pick I would've liked going with the big PWF in Igor Chernyshov or big intelligent DFD in Matvei Shuravin. Few of my favs. 

 

Some of those picks at the end I'm not sure about. Leafs going for Ben Danford seems pretty meh. Lots of people rave about his character but probably a 4/5D imo, we'll see. 

 

And I don't know what EDM was doing with the O'Rielly pick. They are trying to contend & just burned a premium trade chip on a player with limited upside (3rd/4th line C) imo. As a Canucks fan I don't mind it though!!!
