NHL Mock Draft 2023-2024 - Discussion

Some sneaky players too are ones that switched teams... and as a result get a nice boost in +/-

Max Domi was one. Was a -15 last year, so even if the rest of his stats stay the same, on a Toronto 2nd line (I'm guessing) should give me value above his draft position.
I'm going to be greedy and hope for a rate increase over last year.

I had 3 guys in mind, but went with o’reilly. I think he’s excited to play in Nashville, and will get a lot of ice time. I know his periphs aren’t the greatest, but I think his shots and points will be a bit better than fantrax is predicting.
hopefully at least one of the other 2 I had in mind make it back to me on my next pick.

I thought that Nashville signing was great, not everyone agreed, but I think he’ll fit like a glove.

As for production, it’s not too long ago he was a lock for 60+. No guarantee but I’d be shocked if he doesn’t threaten that.

Bam!

Double-damn! I hoped Harvey-Pinard would go unnoticed. Great pick, dammit.

You are drafting with several Habs fans. There's eyes on him :P

Bam!

Harvey-Pinard, ballsy! Love that player, and he’s going to at least get a tryout on that Suzuki line. Courtesy of Hughes slowly moving out blockage (eg, Hoffman).

I really liked the signing for Nashville too.
and I also see him closer to 60 than the 45 fantrax is predicting. Especially if him and Forsberg mesh well and can both stay healthy for most of the season. I’m not sure if he’ll be pp1 or pp2 though. I’m thinking pp1 but they might give that to the younger guys.

[Invictus]

For a forward he gives a good amount of blocks.

Hoping he plays a full season - excited to see what he can do.

Laughton was the player I was hoping made it back to me!

great pick.

[Invictus]

He was on my short list of forwards... I just didn't need his hits though.

[Sixtyfourbits]

I too was hoping Laughton made it back to me

O’Reilly likes Nashville because there are no Tim Hortons restaurants to crash his truck into.

Also had Kotkaniemi on my short list. Nice pick.

[Invictus]

Guys I did a thing.

Also if someone can do a quick double check on him being available to pick

[tweetdrivr]

He was available. Good to go.
