2024 Mock Draft - Would you be happy ?

Hawks do not accept that trade up. We'd need at least one of your extra first's plus something else to move from 2 to 6

Exactly, that value is painfully inadequate. Hawks would need more quality going their way.

I.E. Read either one of Slafkovsky, Huston, Reinbacher, or Ghule on TOP of the 6th OVA.

Which pains me to say, as a Wild fan.

Besides, Hawks are better off grabbing Demidov @2nd OVA. Pairing him with Bedard is going to cause problems for the rest of the league for the next decade plus. So if the Hawks DID move down, I'd be extremely grateful and happy. 😉

Probably not enough to move up to #2 (and Lindstrom may be available at #6 anyway)

Buium is very talented, but if sharks so get the 11th OA I have to think sharks look more at RD than LD.

Probably not, because you have not gotten to the Blues yet and you do not have them trading up. If Dickinson and Buium actually last until 8 or past, Army will be on that like stink on an alpaca (people usually say pigs, but pigs don;t actually smell bad).

The difference between Lindstrom & Catton isn’t a 1st round pick lol
If the price was too high, CHI can select Demidov at 2 and MTL draft either Lindstrom or Catton at 6th OA

That's exactly what we would do lol. Hawks just take Demidov or Lindstrom at 2 rather than do this easily

he will never be available at 6.. Not making it past 4

I would prefer Levshunov at 2 over Demidov

I don't see it with Levshunov. He's really not good in his own end at all. MSU shelters his big time with O zone starts. He's a good OFD, but not even the best in this class (because that title goes to Parekh). Either way, last thing the hawks need is another OFD> If he was more of a two-way force this could be a different story, but a top line winger is a way bigger priority over OFD imo. And just like last year where Michkov was closer to Bedard in talent than the rest of the class, Demidov is closer to if not just as talented as Celebrini.
