2024 NHL Draft: Surprising 1st Rounders & Potential Steals

[@benpezzot8805]

Like last year when daniil but was drafted 12 by utah and I love but for a lot of reasons but he shouldnt have been number 12 and look at 2000 draft for goalies is a good example with rick dipietro number 1 compared to henrik lundqvist who was drafted in the 7th round

Now I'm not you guys with the research tools you have, BUT hasn't Boucher been injured or fighting injuries?? He was drafted in 2021, correct? And, if he has been fighting injuries prior to any starts, could we not say similar things and issues regarding how many top 10 players per season?

[@RidlysEmptyNetter]

I've seen him play many times. Most games he was in...he dominated- like a man playing with boys. Injuries have decimated his career so far. And btw, his injuries were caused because of his devastating hits. Look at the players drafted after Boucher...they all sucked...a bad draft year overall- other than Hughes and maybe Power. Which were both ahead of Boucher. A better reference for a first round bust would be Tyler Biggs.

A guy that has size, skating and is extremely physical that I think should be a first round pick is AJ Spellacy

[@TheHockeyWriters]

Projected to go in the later rounds, but I can definitely see him get selected as high as the second

some teams will relish Mustard

[@dlphcoracl9645]

John Mustard will not be a 1st round pick because he is too much of a hot dog.

[@JamesBond-ym7kd]

LOL

Drafting Mustard might ketchup with them. They could be in a pickle.

[@dlphcoracl9645]

@@thewolfdoctor761 It all depends on where the Chicago Blackhawks draft him. If they can nab him at No. 50 that might be very spicy and help plant the (mustard) seed of a dynamic, speedy group of wingers.
