NHL Mock Draft 2023-2024 - Discussion

[Pengwin7]

Picks are pretty good so far.
This year, I think there's a group from 4-14 that could be anywhere.
Lots of young players emerging with huge game (they'll go here/now, thru end of first).
I had a queue and they got emptied close to order, with Kucherov my top until the LOTR pick.
I decided to pass on, probably, the consensus player at 10 - just to go with upside of Hughes in NJ.
Hoping for 115pts this year, especially with an uptick in firepower from the NJ back end.

Not to happy about the pick but hopefully Robertson can repeat last season.

I tried PM tweetdrivr, hopefully it got to him

[Invictus]

ya I saw Kucherov as the pick at 9 there, and Robertson/Hughes being interchangeable...
If I had to pick one over the other it would be Hughes.

[Dr.Brad]

Someone will take a player out of my top 14 (cuz my #14 is nuts), but it hasn’t happened yet. I had Jack Hughes at 9, ahead of Kuch…. But Pete’s a smart player, so there’s that.

You pick right before me with your next pick, so I look forward to seeing who you go with

[Seyfert]

I had J Hughes before J Robertson, but Kucherov last of those three. Any reason you prefer Kuch before Hughes and Robertson? Im always worried Kuch will break and miss half the season, maybe Im just burned from having him in my keeper League last 3-4 seasons.

[loppantorkel]

I suppose Kucherov still has the highest upside of the three, but in a league like this, personally, I think I'd prefer J Robertson or J Hughes.

[Invictus]

Yes and his PPP is monstrous. (That should regress some though).

[Sixtyfourbits]

Solid pick Tweetdrivr. I was hoping to get the tkachuk/stutzle stack, but was doubtful it would happen.

[tweetdrivr]

Yeah - I had Jack Hughes cued up but was debating as Stutzle also provides solid peripheral support. The Peng made it an easy choice.

[Invictus]

I've always been excited for Stutzle.
Some other safer picks I would of went for first, but tweetdrivr isn't afraid to make these types of picks.
Expecting more to come.

Kuch has done it before (100+ points), stayed healthy last year, etc. Safer pick/floor for me.

[PenguinHunter]

#13 overall pick - that's a tough one.

I was hoping that someone would slip to me there... but definitely didn't happen.

I am hoping that Karpizov will stay healthy all year this year.
If he does I am hoping he has a slight improvement to his 21-22 season.

Scoring 111 points and breaking the 300 shot total.
Adding 70 hits and 40 PIMS.

[PenguinHunter]

I have to pick up the kiddo at daycare after work and have a couple errands to run.
I do have a short list compiled if someone would like to take it....

or pmorrow can shoot me a text when its my turn and I can text him my pick....
