Justin Poirier, RW, Baie-Comeau Drakkar — The small but highly skilled forward can take over a game but only when he wants to and so far there have been too many lazy looking shifts to start the season. He takes many useless shots and he lacks some hockey IQ with awareness. Still a good prospect, just not as high as we once were on him. So, stick around as we promise to offer you plenty of educated and honest draft related content this season, including our 2024 Draft Preview Magazine coming in time for Christmas. Post navigation.

Adjustments are made from viewings, as those are a critical portion of scouting. Importantly, there are no adjustments made for off-ice "intangibles" that are often discussed in team scouting meetings. Philosophically, a public ranking differs immensely from a team list. Teams must consider a variety of factors when building a team and culture. Teams move players around, or take them off the list completely, for various reasons that may come from the executives. Public rankings serve to provide insight into who the best players may be without considering how they will fit a certain team, the overall strategy based on the number of selections a particular team owns, and most importantly, whether a scouting director is willing to select players with a higher risk factor.

В топ-10 европейского рейтинга драфта НХЛ 2024 года оказались четверо россиян
Это современный защитник, который может наказать своих соперников как за счет силовой игры, так и посредством результативных действий. Как нам известно, некоторые команды из NCAA уже сейчас пытаются переманить Левшунова, что может придать остроты перед стартом нового сезона юниорской лиги. Демидов — техничный крайний нападающий, который просто разрывал в главной юниорской лиге России, набрав 62 очка в 41 матчах и заслужив звание самого ценного игрока.
He has good skill with the puck but his calling card will be his skating and sense which he uses to his advantage best on the rush both as a passer and a scoring threat. His performance for the Gold medal winning American team was great and I think that level of success from an 18-year-old will draw a ton of NHL attention. He plays a similar style to his brother, with lots of physical engagement and a penchant for taking big point shots, but he appears to be a better and more confident skater at the same age. Adam produces a ton of chances on offense from the blueline, readily activating into play to support his teammates and keep the puck moving. Jiricek is really great at scanning the play off puck and he persists through pressure quite well so I think he will be able to cut down on the over-the-top risks in time. I like him as a two-way defensive prospect and his right-handed shot and 6-foot-2 frame will help him out on draft day. The biggest thing holding him back this year was a major injury that has kept him out of the lineup since he sustained it in the first game of the World Juniors in December.
After scoring just 18 points with the Seattle Thunderbirds last season, spending portions of the season being scratched, Iginla has flourished with the Kelowna Rockets. Regardless, he works hard and is often the first guy in on the forecheck. Once the top-12 or so prospects are off the board, Iginla will be the next best option for a team looking to add some speed and goal scoring, things that are always in short supply. Aron Kiviharju, LD, HIFK Liiga Aron Kiviharju has been the most talked about 2024 Draft eligible prospect over the two or three years, after playing most of his age-15 season in the top U20 junior league in Finland, scoring roughly a point per game as a small defenseman. He is an excellent puck handler in transition and walks the blue-line very confidently in the offensive zone. Kiviharju suffered a knee injury in a practice this Fall that led him to miss the majority of his draft year. Kiviharju is a really intelligent puck mover, controlling play with a poise beyond his years. He finished the season in the top 20 for goals and points in the OHL which is really impressive for a draft eligible player on a weaker team. Greentree does most things well, fighting hard in puck battles, making smart passes, and handling defensive responsibilities well.
His greatest strength is his shot which looks like a quality NHL tool though his skill with the puck is noteworthy as well. The biggest barrier in the way of NHL success for Greentree at the moment is his skating. His hands are really quick and he plays with a ton of deception which made him one of the most dangerous offensive players in the entire USHL this season. Many NHL teams have reportedly expressed concern in drafting him due to an incident involving him posting a picture of a swastika on social media a little over a year ago. However, he can get a bit of tunnel vision and try to play hero-puck a bit, losing sight of the best play and turning the puck over by trying to deke too much. He has some work to do filling out his rather skinny 6-foot-3 frame, but there is some real promise in his offensive game. Chernyshov plays a very direct style, charging the net frequently whether he has the puck or not. He has had a rather slow start to this year production-wise, but his skill set looks well designed for the pro game with the ability to make strong plays and smart decisions at a higher pace than most teenagers. He has a really well-rounded tool kit as a 6-foot-1 center who skates well, has excellent skill with the puck and can create chances at will in the USHL.
Ultimately, a lack of elite traits holds him back a little but Hage certainly has a chance to be a top-six forward in the NHL. The 12th overall pick in the 2022 QMJHL Draft was excellent in the USHL last year as a rookie with 45 points in 57 games, and he looks poised to improve on those numbers significantly this season. Boisvert is a big center 6-foot-2 with tons of skill with the puck and above average skating. Ritchie has a ton of skill and can be a daunting offensive force, slipping between checkers and making plays, but his consistency has left something to be desired this year. He can get pushed to the perimeter a bit but I think his skill and vision will be significant enough to offset that. The points have added up all season long and have become difficult for people to ignore.
Trevor Connelly, C, Tri-City Storm — Slick puck skill and creativity, fluid and quick skating, impressive vision all on display early this season. Slipping — These prospects have not carried over their initial performances that earned them higher rankings or have been overtaken by prospects who are rising in our eyes. Clarke Caswell, C, Swift Current Broncos — Continues to slide down our board after an initial impressive World Under-17 Hockey Challenge performance for Canada even though he flashes some strong playmaking.
Justin Poirier, RW, Baie-Comeau Drakkar — The small but highly skilled forward can take over a game but only when he wants to and so far there have been too many lazy looking shifts to start the season. He takes many useless shots and he lacks some hockey IQ with awareness.
Мы переживаем, что можем перегрузить его игровым временем, но он всех радует своим прогрессом, - рассказал ТАСС генменеджер "Торпедо" Максим Гафуров. Весной или в феврале, когда опытные команды встанут на рельсы, будет многое видно". Сам Ларионов отметил в конце сентября, что Силаев играет очень хорошо для своего возраста. Главное, его не перегрузить эмоционально, потому что он мальчишка, получающий большое количество времени. И я пытаюсь найти время, дать ему паузу, чтобы он отдохнул. В прошлом году мы это делали с [Богданом] Конюшковым, который тогда попал в состав и играл здорово. Я ему дал четыре дня отдохнуть, мы пытаемся найти это окно и разгрузить и Силаева, и Никиту Артамонова, чтобы они побыли у родителей", - подчеркнул тренер.
В нынешнем сезоне Чернышов сыграл за основу "Динамо" шесть матчей, в то время как в прошлом сезоне он провел за главную команду только пять игр, забросив одну шайбу. Форвард является одним из лидеров "Динамо" в МХЛ, в девяти играх забросив четыре шайбы и отдав три голевые передачи. У него есть нюансы, которые ему даны, но их ему надо развивать, надо в том числе и над броском поработать", - подчеркнул в беседе с ТАСС главный тренер молодежки "Динамо" Антон Корредор. Тренера не удивило присутствие Чернышова в верхней части преддрафтовых рейтингов. В любом случае чтобы это оправдалось, все свои качества надо поднимать на порядок выше", - отметил он. Сам Чернышов концентрируется сейчас на игре за "Динамо", с которым у него контракт до апреля 2025 года. У меня есть друг, Артем Кудашов сын главного тренера основной команды Алексея Кудашова - прим.
2024 NHL Draft Rankings: Mid-November Top 40
Главная» Новости» Драфт нхл 2024 проспекты. The top prospects for the 2024 NHL Draft are Macklin Celebrini, Cole Eiserman, Artyom Levshunov, Ivan Demidov, and Berkly Catton. Четверо россиян вошли в десятку международного рейтинга драфта 2024 года по версии центрального скаутского бюро Национальной хоккейной лиги (НХЛ), сообщается на странице пресс-службы НХЛ в соцсети X. The 2024 NHL Draft prospects list is topped by Macklin Celebrini. The 17-year-old forward player has currently committed to Boston University. Vancouver native started competing for the BC Junior Canucks in 2015. Эксперт Sportsnet Сэм Косентино представил свой февральский рейтинг. Full round 2024 NHL mock draft projections, with trades and compensatory picks based on weekly team projections and college and amateur player rankings.
Демидов – 3-й в рейтинге драфта-2024 от NHL.com, Силаев – 4-й. 6 российских игроков вошли в топ-32
Автор издания Daily Faceoff Стивен Эллис составил рейтинг проспектов, которых команды Национальной хоккейной лиги смогут выбрать следующим летом. В топ-10 списка оказались белорусский защитник Артем Левшунов и российский нападающий Иван Демидов, занявшие третье и четвертое места соответственно. Это показывает, насколько некоторые специалисты уверены в перспективах этого защитника, выступающего в главной юниорской лиге США.
With his scoring skills, he accumulated 46 goals and 40 assists in 50 games. He has since represented Middlesex Islanders and Shattuck St. He accumulated 28 goals and 16 assists in 32 games with the team. Recently, he committed to play college hockey at the University of Minnesota.
With sneaky strength, Cole has the ability to deceive goalies in the arena. As the top 2nd pick, he is set to give tough competition to Celebrini. Artyom Levshunov Artyom Levshunov from Zhlobin, Belarus is ranked third in the top draft prospects list. Levshunov played for the youth team Metallurg Zhlobin. He then represented his country in the second-level ice hockey league, Belarus Vysshaya. He achieved 13 goals and 29 assists in just 62 games.
Artyom became noticeable with his impressive defense skills. Ivan Demidov Ivan Demidov is a winger in the making. Petersburg of the MHL.
Многие из игроков сыграют значимую роль во внутренних и международных соревнованиях в ближайшие месяцы. После, Миса побил прошлогодний рекорд по результативности, который на протяжении десяти лет удерживал Коннор Макдэвид. Немногие игроки U-16 были настолько успешны в OHL. Миса, 16-летний игрок, забросивший 22 шайбы и набравший 56 очков в 45 играх в качестве новичка. Saginaw принимает Мемориальный кубок 2024 года, и если все пойдет хорошо, Миса покажет хоккейному миру, почему он является игроком, за которым будут следить скауты. Невероятно, но Хагенс пока ещё недооцененный игрок, который может забрасывать шайбы, создавать голевые моменты, использовать скорость лучше многих игроков своего возраста. Форвард ростом 6 футов был лидером Erie, набрав 42 очка в одной из худших команд лиги.
В следующем году команда окажется в лучшем положении после добавления в состав Мэтью Шефера, перспективного новичка с драфта OHL-2023. Но Спенс все еще будет выполнять большую часть тяжелой работы. Скауты были поражены тем, как много он может выжать из своих товарищей по линии, и он точно станет только лучше с ещё одним годом в OHL. Он крупный, крепкий и обладает отличным хоккейным интеллектом.
Hockey moves quickly. So much can change in an instant. One game, one weekend, one month. Some who looked destined to go in the top 10 are now teetering on being first-round picks at all at this point. You can talk to scouts from NHL, Europe, college, major junior, you name it, and get completely wildly different opinions on the same players. Macklin Celebrini, C Boston University, NCAA After dealing with shoulder surgery over the offseason, it would have made sense if Celebrini had a slow start to his freshman college season as a 17-year-old. He was one of the most dominant players in the Russian junior league last year and looked solid during the KHL preseason. Despite limited KHL ice time, nobody is as creative as Demidov, who features a good mix of high hockey IQ, strong skating and tremendous vision. You can build a core around Demidov. At 6-foot-3, Dickinson has good speed, a great first stride and makes smart decisions with the puck. He has an NHL-caliber shot, but his bread and butter is being a dominant shutdown threat every single shift. From watching him a few times this year, I feel like he deserves more than the 0. The Medicine Hat Tigers forward seems to get better with every game, and he has tremendous speed for his frame. From talking to a few WHL defenders, Lindstrom might be the most feared player in a 1-on-1 situation due to his combination of speed, skill and pure mass. The upside here is enormous — literally. The big draw is his mobility, which allows him to move more like someone five inches shorter.

In the past we would publish our preliminary rankings in September but they were the rankings we came up with for our Draft Guide and were formulated the previous March making them pretty out of date by the time they hit our website. Our evaluations have been busy over the past months watching the many summer camps and showcases, the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, World Junior Summer Showcase, and early league play in both North America and Europe to provide input on this next wave of future NHL talent. Our teams early view of the 2024 draft crop is that this class holds solid depth of overall talent. Not only does it hold a couple of potential NHL organizational building blocks at the top but also a healthy amount of potential future NHL forwards, defenders, and even a couple potential starting goaltenders.
Last year we had Connor Bedard wowing us, and while 2024 lacks that kind of high-end franchise defining player, it does hold its own skilled forwards at the top that will eventually play in a top six role.

Хоккеист «Торпедо» возглавил рейтинг игроков не из Северной Америки перед драфтом НХЛ
Среди вратарей Илья Набоков из магнитогорского «Металлурга» занимает второе место. Набоков является основным голкипером «Металлурга», который вышел в финал Кубка Гагарина, где сыграет с ярославским «Локомотивом».
His floor could end up being a reliable top-four defenceman in the NHL who sees some powerplay time. Lindstrom has 22 points in 14 games which leads his team and is good for eighth in the WHL. His 13 goals also lead his team and have him tied for fourth in the WHL. He could very well end up as a solid second line centre. Kiviharju is excellent in transition, given his incredible hockey IQ and high-level skating and puck skills. He has one goal and two points through seven games in the Liiga this season, which is a goal more and a point less than he managed through 22 games in his rookie season last year.
Kiviharju has the potential to be a top-pair, top power play defenceman, but it is also possible he settles in as a top-four power play quarterback. Either way, I see him running a top power play unit. He has excellent hockey IQ and a high-level vision and playmaking allow him to find open teammates and rack up assists while still being a threat to score. Helenius has five goals and 10 points in 17 games this season, which is just a point shy of his total through 33 games last season. So, what does this mean for Adam? Absolutely nothing! Remember Fedor Fedorov?
That said, against MHL competition he can go full pond hockey mode at times, trying anything and everything to see what works. On the one hand, this allows him to practice his creativity and forces him into spots where he needs to make a few consecutive quick decisions and movements to retain possession. While we still have unanswered questions amplified by his injury his offensive upside is unmatched in this draft class, and we are firm believers that his toolkit and brain will make his transition to the NHL a relatively smooth one when the time comes. Combine that prototypical frame with excellent skating and advanced defending, and you get a player with early-first-round potential. Dickinson routinely kills plays, especially in transition. His defensive game is truly spectacular. Dickinson transitions the puck up the ice with a nice first pass and can carry the puck through the neutral zone.
Upon gaining the offensive zone is where Dickinson struggles to create as he loses his teammates and skates into defensive traps at times, resulting in missing open teammates to pass to. Still, on the cycle, he can be an effective passer and he can get hard, accurate shots on net in locations that can cause rebounds or be tipped. If he can take another step as a puck carrier and offensive creator then he could be a big-time player in the NHL. Parekh is the king of deception and misdirection as he will line up his eyesight and hips in one direction getting opponents to chase in that direction before flipping his hips fluidly and cutting up or cutting back against the grain unevaded to the net. Parekh is an excellent passer and playmaker and works the give-and-go to a high level. To top things off, Parekh is a gifted goal scorer who can rip the puck past OHL goalies. At times he can be a bit too smooth to the point where it becomes lackadaisical with the puck.
Defensively, Parekh is aggressive and effectively breaking up passes through the neutral zone. He times his pinches well forcing turnovers that he can immediately convert into offensive chances. Overall, the excellent skating and offensive instincts and traits are incredibly valuable that you will accept some of the warts with his game because the good is too rare to find elsewhere. This alone is likely to see him land quite high on draft day as his release is NHL-ready. However, when you zoom away from his core strength, Eiserman carries with him a few key flaws. While effective off the rush and in odd-man opportunities, he lacks the edgework and explosiveness to create separation from defenders who focus on him. His playmaking is currently underutilized as pucks tend to end up behind the net or frozen shortly after receiving the puck.
Going forward, Eiserman will need to develop some extra layers to his game in some way. Fortunately, he has plenty of time to do so. Konsta Helenius , C — Jukurit Helsinki Liiga Anni Karvinen — Konsta Helenius is a highly skilled playmaking center whose game is built around intelligence and a profound understanding of the game. He can create offense in multiple ways. However, Helenius truly excels when he takes control in the offensive zone, skillfully dangling through opponents and uncovering unforeseen passing or shooting lanes. This allows him to not only capitalize on scoring opportunities but also to create space for his teammates, as his skillset attracts the opponent. He can control the game because of his vision and quickness.
He anticipates plays before they happen and gains an edge against the opponents with his positioning. Playing in Finnish Liiga, Helenius faces professional competition in every game. Overall Helenius has good tools but it is his vision and understanding of the game that makes him such an exciting prospect. Catton has an effortless first touch, seamlessly blends puck receptions into movements without losing speed and can use his control to patiently protect the puck or to just dangle around his opponents at high speed. Coupling this awareness with an excellent passing game makes Catton an elite passer in the WHL, completing highlight-reel passes with regularity. While not overly powerful, his strides are also quick and technically sound, which he partners with lateral crossovers to generate a ton of speed in the NZ. Catton has shown an active stick and an understanding of passing lanes in the NZ, but Catton can often look lackadaisical in his own end, losing his checks and net battles.
This is especially apparent on backchecks where he frequently shows little-to-no effort. Physically gifted and willing to use it, Lindstrom is incredibly disruptive along the boards, competes hard on every puck, and does a lot of little things right. On top of that, his skating is polished and he has no problem carrying his large frame on 200 feet, with or without the puck. Early on, we probably would have ranked his playmaking as a below-average tool. His ranking at 10th overall on our early board is a bet on that incremental growth continuing, and if it does, Lindstrom could develop into something special. Above all, the Norwegian winger plays with intensity and defensive reliability. He reloads above pucks to remain engaged in offensive zone turnovers, blasts through center ice to chase down loose pucks when they pop out, and protects pucks well along the boards.
The same goes for his teammates; he can set them up in great areas with a combination of vision, poise and a wide arsenal of passes, but until recently, they would lack that finishing touch. As a 17-year-old, Levshunov is currently tied for 5th among scoring for defensemen across the NCAA, and his current point-a-game clip is on pace to be something that has not been emulated since the early 1980s.
Левшунов соответствует всем параметрам, которые команды ищут в защитниках высокого класса.
Он правша с профессиональным телосложением. Он хорошо катается, обладает хорошей подвижностью в четырех направлениях. Хотя он был немного «зеленым» в оборонительном плане, когда приехал в USHL, он быстро прогрессировал и действительно разобрался с этим в этом году.
