2024 NHL Rookie Entry Draft Discussion

[Lightning GM (Bill)]

Post any thoughts you have on draft here .Having already taken part in several drafts these are some of things that I have noticed here . Tij Iginla was picked at earliest in the other drafts at 5th.  Cole Eiserman was picked 10th to 15th range and 3 of the top 10 picks were defense . I do not pick until number 13 but the way it is going so far I am expecting to get a better player than I thought I would. I have the list of actual draft results under this "Draft Room" thread where I will be crossing off players as they are picked.

I had a list of 3 I thought I had a chance of landing at 11. 1 has gone Eiserman.

My other 2, expected one of them to have gone by now.

Five D in a row was hoping to get 1 of the earlier ones as I only have 1 D in minors.

Zeev was my 1st choice D, Carolina snatched him pick before mine.

The Hockey News had Dickinson ranked 5th best for all players so hopefully he lives up to that lol.

[Rangers GM (Steven)]

If you didn't select Dickinson, I would have added him to my defense prospect pool. Instead, I chose to add another centre to join Wright!

Helenius is a good pick. Olli Jokinen is raving about the kid.
