Seems like folks are down on this one. Power forward types are always scary to draft, or I don't get too excited about them. But then Pacioretty turned out ok, and I wasn't excited about him. Hopefully Tuch makes it.

 

[Cold Coffee]

This so hard... why not shoot for high end talent... get the Kucherov, get the Point, then get the Goodrow and the big rig..

Mysak is that type of pick

We went for both

 

[Habs Icing]

Player I have the most trouble with 'cause clearly he was picked for needs. And as you know my stance on it...you just don't do that. He needs to bring his offensive game to another level. At this point, he makes me think of Nicolas Kerdiles....and Kerdiles was better offensively.

I hope he's not another Terry Crisp. Maybe TT has better glasses than I do and sees Chris Nilan.

 

[Victoire HuGo]

One thing I don't like about this pick, is that he hasn't been super productive in his recent seasons. Obviously I don't know what his usage has been but it's never too much of a good sign when the scoring pedigree isn't there.

Mysak is that type of pick

Not really. I like Mysak, but hes also a mid range player if he pans out. Theres very lilttle upside in this draft.

Gotta hope Guhle becomes Brent Burns or something..

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Not sure what people expect in the 2nd round? If he put up high offensive numbers would he be available?

 

[Mrb1p]

McCarron pick, lets be honest. McCarron also had a better offensive pedigree, and could play C

I wouldn’t hold my breath there...

But I like Guhle.

Kucherov, Point, Subban, Josi, Weber, Gallagher, Tatar, Anderson, Petry... thats what I want in the 2nd. Not f***ing McCarron.

Tuch could become Anderson type.

 

[le_sean]

I wonder if they had 1st round grades on both him and Mysak.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Kucherov, Point, Subban, Josi, Weber, Gallagher, Tatar, Anderson, Petry... thats what I want in the 2nd. Not f***ing McCarron.

When those guys were drafted there were warts. Then they blossomed. Its too early to judge.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Not as much skills than his brother, but more chirpier and more physical.

interesting draft, we see a trend of big body PF.

We’re almost behind the curve and seem to be reactive. We look around us we see few teams having succes and we try to copy. This is what led to the Tinordi and McCarron disasters.

 

[azcanuck]

Canadiens brass seeing how small our team is and tired of the "smurf" tweets decides to draft a guy based on "size". It's a dumb way to approach drafting. This guy has bust written all over him.

 

[Mrb1p]

Tuch could become Anderson type.

Could, if everything goes well...

What is Tuch going to blossom into ?

They already tried that in 2013 and failed miserably.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

let’s wait and see. He was just drafted.

 

[Vachon23]

I like it with what was on the board. We didn't had a prospect like Tuch in our prospect pool

 

[Mrb1p]

let’s wait and see.

Lets wait and see is the Habs motto since 95.

 

[Hannibal]

Could, if everything goes well...

It’s a chance i’m willing to take, honestly. At some point, we have to draft propect who plays a power game.

Please don’t compare hin with McCarron. Mac was dumb has f***. No IQ.

 

[Mrb1p]

We didn't have a McCarron either in 2013.

You think labelling him a bust on draft day is a better course of action?
