EARLY 2024 NHL MOCK DRAFT! (UPDATED TOP 10 Prospect Rankings & Macklin Celebrini/Cole Eiserman Talk)

[@GravitehHockey]

The 2024 NHL Draft Class is Looking CRAZY Close. What Are YOUR Thoughts On This 2024 Draft Class So Far? What Would YOUR Top 10 Look Like? And Who Do YOU Want YOUR Favorite NHL Team To Draft? I'd LOVE to Hear YOUR Thoughts! #GravGang #RoadTo75kSUBS

[@gujikujtutu2330]

I'd love for the jackets to draft Adam Jiříček.

[@Zaghzackio]

Can't wait for the Hlinka Gretzky Cup to see how these Prospects perform

[@gamedayhockey]

@@ZaghzackioOn my channel i have two videos profiling the top players in this year’s tournament!

[@latehakala5407]

I think Demidov is the most electric player of this draft class. I think he can challenge first overall pick for 2024 for sure. He is such a good skater with extreme edges with super stickhandling. Don't sleep on him

[@willyb9572]

Ranked 3rd doesn't seem like anyone is lol

[@Ripok1991]

@LETZGONHLdrafthaha ok

[@Zaghzackio]

​@LETZGONHLdraft based on the highlight reel Demidov looks better

[@Kris-bx5qj]

@LETZGONHLdraft agree! Celebrini is more cerebral. like a Connor Bedard, but not quite on that level...

[@jonmendelson1104]

I'm hoping Celebrini will end up back in San Jose. First Jr Sharks player (even if only briefly) to be anywhere near the top of the draft.

[@Zaghzackio]

Celebrini and Smith down the Middle would be filthy!

[@Blackhawkenjoyer]

He’s a Blackhawk

[@YvonjrPierre-mb9hp]

San.jose.no.way.ok.

[@LeinadSretlaw]

He will be a flyer sadly

[@robertevans00]

@@Zaghzackio Smith might be better suited at RW and to me Eklund Celebrini Smith in 3-4 years might be a very good top line!!!

[@hockeydog2172]

I hope the draft goes like this 1 San Jose drafts Celebrini They get there centerpiece to build around and he will get play with a great player William Eklund 2 Detroit drafts Cole Eizerman They finally get a great goal scorer and offensive weapon to finish the rebuild and complete the top line of Eizerman-Larkin-Raymond-Sieder-Edvison such a nasty lineup 3 Philadelphia drafts Ivan Demidov They not only will pair two insane Russian talents together with Demidov and Micikov but they will also add the finishing pieces to a good prospect pool with Cam York, Cutter Gauthier and Tyson Forester

[@Lebowski55]

I saw Celebrini's Chicago Steel play Eiserman's U18 team with Smith, Leonard, Perrault and Moore and Cele was absolutely the best player on the ice. At 16, he looked like a man playing against boys. Also, Celebrini had the most goals EVER (46) by a 16 year old in the USHL. For comparison, Fantilli had 17 goals as a 16 year old in the USHL.

[@JamesMillerHockey]

This class is going to be so fun to cover! So many great players with late birthdays. Certainly something to keep your eyes on. Great video Grav!

[@eliaminator2313]

Mews is so good can't wait to see him in the NHL from watching him with the 67s him and Marrelli should be 2 great draft picks in this draft from the 67s

[@jeremymuther8656]

Excited to see Macklin at BU this year 🎉🎉🎉

[@bestofclips4429]

Can you do an updated prospect pool video please?

[@sherminator1617]

Love the vid Grav, its an interesting but not as stacked class as the last one. But yes there's some solid young players out there, Eiserman is my favourite with Demidov. I really like Helenius also.

[@iWhiteout]

For what it’s worth, in my chel 23 realistic Houston expansion franchise I had a monster 2024 draft with 3 1sts after I traded up to 4th overall to take Catton and he’s been my first line RW with Bordeleau and Kakko since I drafted them and that line is unstoppable in big part because of him!

[@saltywingsandavsfan]

I hope Zayne goes off especially with the memorial cup in Saginaw.

[@aurinko2877]

what is that t-shirt?

[@fage5917]

Jiricek is still growing and will probably grow to the same height as his brother.

[@benpezzot8805]

As a jackets fan I am not huge of adam I think David will be alot better than adam

[@gujikujtutu2330]

​@@benpezzot8805Imagine if they got to play together though, David could really help with Adam's development, making for a legendary Jiříček duo.

[@saltywingsandavsfan]

Idk if this draft is gonna be deep as 2023, but there’s a lot of defensive prospects. It’s gonna be interesting how the draft will play out. I still think the top 3 looks pretty star studded with Demidov, Eiserman, and Celebrini. Celebrini’s going to BU so I wonder how is production is going to pan out compared to Fantilli

[@hockeydog2172]

steve yzerman drafts cole eizerman to finish the rebuild and bring back the dynasty 🤞😬😁

[@rileymehok2913]

Thanks for the content, keep it up!

[@RyanK0201]

This is great news for the caps, they need a defensive prospect and assuming they fail to make the playoffs again, they should be able to get a solid guy on d.

[@2Jim2u]

In the mention of Celebrini, of course, is the replacement Hage. Now, no pressure on kid, because Celebrini was playin' the position that Hage had to sit and watch.... but, kind of interesting to see how 'mad' he might have gotten having to watch?

[@HampalaRanger]

Is there a chance your content will be on podcast apps and tunein ?

[@jimmymango00]

I want Cole Eiserman to pair with Bedard and Reichel after Taylor Hall is gone

[@justkrillin3873]

Kiviharju will be an elite defenceman some day

[@nonothebest7072]

Just goes to show that lane hutson was such a steal at that position

[@tubingforever]

Lol I fucking love this. I seriously care more about the drafts and the summers with UFAs, looking at next years draft prospects etc than I care about the actual NHL. I LIVE for this shit! :D

[@alexnelson293]

When are you gunna do your yearly Ranking prospect pools

[@michaelkerber3337]

Michael Brandsegg-Nygård could have made the top 10 imo

[@Unholy_Louie]

I would LOVE it if the Habs could draft Demidov (I mean come on, the guy's name is almost Demigod :P). But I don't see us drafting in the top 5 unfortunately.

[@gamedayhockey]

it’s also almost demidog lol😂

[@Unholy_Louie]

@@gamedayhockey Damn! it's WAY funnier FOR SURE. If he gets a hat trick one day people should half hot dogs lol.

[@gamedayhockey]

[@BaBaBenny]

You don't think MTL drafts in the top 5 this year? You crazy man, as a die hard fan myself, I see us getting a top 3 pick, this season will be kind of rough

[@Unholy_Louie]

@@BaBaBenny Maybe, maybe not. I hope so (but with hard fought losses, not just steam rolled). When I say out of the top 5, just to be clear, I mean draft number 7 eor 8 at most (not one of those guys who think about playoffs lol; nor even close to a wild card. No: bottom of the league but maybe out of the top 5 (this year we could have been with only 2 more pts so it's extremely close). I do think some teams at the very bottom got a spike since then, and there isn't a huge incentive like last year, so we could definitely draft top 5 too. It's very close either way. Under top 10 for sure no question.

[@ryanwasiak7050]

If my hawks can grab Levshunov or Mews sweet lord look out

[@Thomas_667]

Nice video dude. I don't know a whole lot of Celebrini yet, any player comparisons? How would you rate him compared to previous drafts? Hughes kind of hype? Bedard? How high would he go in 2023 draft? Anything helps :)

[@carlschiller5646]

He's no Connor Bedard, but he's still great. Obviously he still has this upcoming season at Boston U to increase his stock even further, but as it stands right now it seems like he'll be in the Leo Carlsson (maybe Fantili) tier as a prospect.

[@carlschiller5646]

@LETZGONHLdraft I don’t think you know what generational means. That’s Crosby, McDavid, Bedard… He’ll be a good 1st overall pick, but he’s not generational

[@carlschiller5646]

@LETZGONHLdraft Yeah....he's obviously an incredible player..... not generational though

[@carlschiller5646]

@LETZGONHLdraft a once in a generation talent. Crosby, McDavid, Bedard level prospects

[@Habsfan56744]

Is celebrini a 100 point player if he reach’s his full NHL potential if he even makes the NHL

[@YoungMatt81]

Ppl annointed celebrini pretty early, but i think this draft will have a healthy competition for first overall, possibly as deep as 4 or 5 guys Also, some of these names sound like the random name generator is broken

[@Tdesparza]

Sharks are going to be god awful again and finally get their first 1OA pick. Celebrini is going to look great in teal.

[@CLew9]

Plus he has already been a Jr Shark. Get this kid back to San Jose

[@Tdesparza]

@@CLew9 I know right! It feels like fate. Hopefully we can land him.

[@YvonjrPierre-mb9hp]

Mackiln.celebrini.chicago.ok

[@Mates-rv2ir]

My bet is Jiricek will make top 10. Adam is different type of player than David he is better skater however David has higher offensive potential. To be fair Adam played 28 minutes in his extraliga debut in 16 y. o. and was named best player for Plzen.

[@samuelhagos8274]

Could you do. 2025 cause so far I only no it’s just Michael misa

[@carlschiller5646]

James Hagens is the consensus 2 rn, Filip Ekberg had a hat trick in his first Allsvenskan game at 15, and Malcolm Spence, Logan Hensler, William's brother Victor Eklund, Anton Frondell and Gabriel D'Aigle are some of the guys to watch for 2025

[@Alexirongatewelding]

Blackhawks end up with celebrini the internet will crash.

[@nickburkett219]

Would just fall apart 💀. And we thought it was bad with Bedard😂

[@odysseusthesojourner4401]

So you’re not expecting many top talents to come out of the USNDTP this year besides Eiserman? Interesting take.

[@redriverwave]

The Flyers need a really good, puck carrying defenceman. Dickinson? Levshunov?

[@2Jim2u]

Just saying, Mr. Caufield is 5'7" and supposed listed on Line 1; Mr. Spurgeon listed as 5'9" and allegedly 1st pair maybe 2nd. Should be interesting.

[@colesloan4945]

Chicago goes back to back 1 first overall Pick

Young Jiricek will be even better than his brother. Mark my words

[@tallesttreeintheforest]

kiviharju certainly has the brain but im questioning other parts of his game.

[@metricgogo]

Idk who Cole Eiserman is but just looking at those goal totals i'd pick him #1 lol

[@MTCH1986]

I think if the Habs or Philly get #1, they are going with the Center, but if Chicago or SJ go #1, they will select Cole.

[@dangshnizzle6929]

​@@MTCH1986 Chicago needs RW and RD, not LW

[@BarDownBrendan]

@@dangshnizzle6929he can play both

@@MTCH1986 If Chicago has the #1 pick they will take the best player in Celebrini. He is way better than Cole.

Thats not really a mock draft ! But nice video Grav!

[@michaelkerber3337]

the only flaw i've heard about cole Eiserman so far is that he's a puck hog at times and sometimes goes full beaver tale mode

[@mreid9164]

nobody misses Zadina

Isn't James Hagens in this draft

[@CanadianBongRipper]

I really don't see what's special about Dickinson. To me guys like Cole Hutson and Zayne Parekh have a higher ceiling.

Demidov another panarin kaprizov or kucherov! typical Russian player! I think a lot of people should take it

Russia is once again cranking out good prospects. Perhaps many are playing hard to get out and move to North America.

[@bret1575]

Cole Eiserman is VASTLY overrated at this point in time tell me I’m wrong. Serious responses only In my viewings so far he’s a one-timing version of a pidgeon. 6 assists folks. Those probably came from his rebounds 😂 I haven’t seen him create anything for himself or do really any playmaking. Maybe I got unlucky with my viewings of him

[@Simonsays48]

Demidov probably dont speak English. MTL passing on him for sure.
