2024 NHL Draft TOP 10 Rankings from HADI of Dobber Prospects

Interview with Hadi of Dobber Prospects where he ranks his early Top-10 players of the 2024 NHL Draft! Game highlights and stats of each prospect included. #nhldraft
Players discussed: Michael Brandsegg-Nygard | Berkly Catton | Macklin Celebrini | Ivan Demidov | Sam Dickinson | Cole Eiserman | Konsta Helenius | Tanner Howe | Cayden Lindstrom | Luke Misa | Zayne Parekh | Terik Parascak | Anton Silayev

[@davidneraas750]

As a Norwegian I'm soooooooooooo humbled and honored that you predict brandsegg Nygard to be picked top 10 no matter what happens he will make Norwegian hockey history and I'm soooooooooooo excited for the 2024 draft a Norwegian to be potentially picked in top 10 or 20 maybe worst case it will be Huge for the Nowegian youth hockey program:).

[@bajjanitor]

Very good chance of another 1st round pick with Solberg as well, a purely Norwegian product.

[@italian1ist]

This guy he has on his channel always extremely goofy takes and picks. I wouldn’t put much stock in his opinion.

[@thart1338]

As a Michigan state student who goes to every game Leshnov should be here he’s so smooth in his game and talented and throws his size around often.

[@nhldraftpros]

Yes!!! Thank you for your input! Great arena in East Lansing by the way!

[@lauig]

I love what you're doing with the channel, bringing in Hadi to share some of his insights that bring new light to some of these developping players was so interesting. That's Datsyuk coming out of the bench to deke out Hockey KZbin. I was at first surprised he wouldn't put Eiserman higher but when he explained it, made so much sense. A scout HAS to think overall if a kid that is tearing it up now has the tools & behaviours to be able to keep producing at a much higher level against faster, tougher, smarter experienced players who've almost seen it all already. And that's also why, me thinks, Konsta Helenius might climb higher even come draft day if he keeps producing the way he does as he's the only one there who's doing it against pros on a Liiga that's on an upward trend (not as much as the SHL and the NL it seems, but definitely not far behind)

[@nhldraftpros]

Yeah it's always fun to hear from other people and their opinions on prospects. Especially when they break down a player's strengths and weaknesses and why they ranked them as they did. It's a lot of fun!

[@MuhammadZegras]

It does seem like some defensemen tend to get picked earlier than projected in recent drafts so I wouldn’t be shocked to see Demidov and Eiserman drop a couple spots

[@nhldraftpros]

I think it all depends on what a team is looking for too. Nemec 2nd overall in 2022 ahead of Cooley and Wright is a good example.

[@italian1ist]

That’s exactly what I think too.

[@italian1ist]

@@nhldraftproswasn’t that a very weak draft for dman though?

[@MuhammadZegras]

@@italian1ist 2022 already has Nemec, Mintyukov, Korchinski, and Jiricek in the NHL so I’d say so far it’s been a good Defense class

You are correct! Plus Mateychuk who I really like.@@MuhammadZegras

[@evanbalnoey2945]

I feel like nobody is talking about Will Skahan. He’s 6”4 212 and because of all these crazy defensemen he’s gonna be a steal for a good team like Toronto or the rags

[@undeadchrist]

celebrini to mtl would create a dynasty with lane hutson but watch montreal go crazy when they will probably draft another D if its a defenseman year 😂

[@zacklemyre3944]

I’ll go crazy for sure if that happens 💀

[@robertlegault9226]

​​@@zacklemyre3944Cayden Lindstrom would be awesome too. No weaknesses and just look at the way he skates and moves, he's very dynamic and plays tough. He should be much higher on this list.

[@maxpatenaude2115]

Its safe to say Mtl needs elite offense out front. Its currently lacking. They'll go for the best forward available, and it could be another top 5 pick this year. Enough with dmen already lol

[@tylerlussier1896]

@@maxpatenaude2115 you think we need Offence because our offence isn’t fully developed yet lmao, Sure if Montreal has the 5th overall pick for example they will look to take a forward but it’s not something we DESPERATELY need we have lots of talent it’s just not developed yet or some of the players like Caufield and Suzuki are not in their full prime yet Suzuki is 24 but he still has more to give I see him as a consistent 70-77 point player and Caufield in my opinion could be a 90 point player if he can score and continue to make plays like he has this season in the future, I haven’t even talked about Roy, Slaf, Dach, So we have talent it’s just not developed yet. I’m hoping Montreal drafts Cayden Lindstrom I have been watching this player very closely and he looks like a PERFECT fit for Montreal he’s big has a WICKED One Tee, VERY good passing abilities and skates very well, Above all else we need Size up front but not Just “Size” we need High Potential size Slaf is one of them but Cayden Lindstrom could be another and he could be a 80-90 point player in the NHL I think he has LOADS of potential and we could take our time with him develop him properly.

Doesn’t look like Philly is getting anywhere near the top 5 this year, but as long as we get some nice d-men with our 2 first round picks I’ll be happy.

[@Karma28R6]

As a montreal fan if we dont get top 5 i would love for us to get cayden lindstrom! Really good vidéo btw

[@nhldraftpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@mtlhabsss]

Bro to me it’s extremely sicken how do you guys not have Artyom Levshunov in the top 5 never mind top 10. RIGHT HAND D-MAN with skills , size and very capable offensively….. dude!!

[@nhldraftpros]

It's early...these rankings will change! I personally have Levshunov a lot higher.

[@Unholy_Louie]

Looking like the Habs will be able to maybe have the choice between 3 good centers (if we remove Celery (zero chance), and Demidov (might be possible if, like some think, he goes #4 or even#5. Imho he'll go #3. Either ways they're both not an option for this discussion) They are, by order of most current ranking : Helenius Catton and Lindstrom (IMHO, 10 for the latter is too high, more like 6-8 spot, but what do I know. To me it would be between Helenius and Lindstrom; the first because of being the most complete C of all 3 ATM, and Lindstrom because he's a giant compared to both (6'4-5 vs 5'11 for both Hel and Catton). Catton is more of a winger imho. So outside of "Celery" and Demidov (the latter who might not go second or even 3rd, because of the D available), Who amongst those 3 would you pick? Since the Habs will keep falling down for the rest of the season, AND we have quite a lot to offer before the TDL, I wouldn't be surprised if they trade down and get instead 2 picks outside the top 5, so picking 2 of those 3 might actually happen. Some team will want their D, trade swaps will be more likely than ever within the top 10 imho. BTW, it wouldn't be the best idea according to this particular (and most current rankings), but I'd pick LINDSTROM over Helenius, and either before Catton. Catton and Lindstrom play in the same league and have a similar production (Cat with more assists and Lind with more goals). Both are at around 50 points in the WHL (I think?), both having played around 30 games. Why, because we need a bit of size in the middle, but still have huge upsides when it comes to offense and play in general. He can play on the wings as well, so like Dach and what's his name (injured Colorado player we traded picks for; started slow but showed how good he was before being inevitable injured, as is tradition). We don't have a Lindstrom in our prospect pool; the closest isn't a prospect, and was red hot before immediately getting injured (again, tradition). We still have half of the season for prospects to either gain or lose ground, and interviews are really important too. Each team in the basement, especially ones that is a few seasons into their rebuilding process, have specific needs. IMHO if as is expected and they miss out on both Celery and Demidov, Lindstrom would be the next best choice. Hopeful Popcorn will pan out as a top D in the NHL too... Because if not we're missing on top Ds next draft, but I feel the 2024 draft will be insanely good for Habs, so let's try to stack up with high end picks or equivalent rookies before the TDL. If Shawn Monahan can keep himself from being injured, since he has basically not cap hit and on a single year contract, he'd be excellent as a third line center for any playoff team (as good on the wing too). If feel teams are waiting to make sure he won't get injured, but aside that, he's going to fetch big for us... No other center of his caliber is paid minimum wage with no future contractual strings attached. He's playing on an awful team with a lot of different partners, and still has the production and veteran qualities of a 6M third line center. We NEED to trade some D's too, AND one goalie pleavese (the market is there, but they all known we're desperate to make room for our younger and/or actual core players). It's the reason we play with the VERY unusual rotation of 3 goalies, AND the reason our current D is far from optimal : they need to play those non future core players in order to be able to trade them, simple as that. I'm satisfied with our prospect pool of goalies, and pleasantly surprised by Monty but EVEN Primeau, a goalie that I had written off a long time ago. Turns out better results can be achieved with a strategy that doesn't start and end with "throw him naked to the wolves" lol :P I know we want to trade 1 or even 2 of them, but never again can we let our pool of goalie be so dry that the health of a single player means the end of seasons and great PO stints.

[@nhldraftpros]

Lindstrom would not be a bad choice for the Habs!

[@tomslick2058]

Catton is a sleeper. And has a high motor. Forcheck can be implemented bo good coaching.

He's definitely dipping a bit...will be interesting to his how he trends down the stretch.

What about Levshunov?

[@tylerN76796]

Not having him inthe top 5 is crazy enought, but the top 10. This rankings are invalid if he isnt even in the top 10

I'm a fan of Levshunov but some people may prefer offensive D like Parekh. Last year people were surprised when Sandin Pellikka slipped to 17...good for Detroit tho!

I really think some teams may pass cause like the Hawks they need size prospects on the front end. Unless they get Celebrini I think it's wide open who they go for. It's not like 2023 . More like 2022 . But as we see some size don't work out like Kappo and Laufranier. There will be stars. I'm not sure they will be picked in the top 4 after Celebrini. With 2 D men probably going. Always a bit of a crapshoot ot wait. My team the Hawks have a bit to many small forwards on the prospect file. Lots of Big D men who are still learning there craft. Carlson has exceeded my expectations. Lol those Swedish guys.
