Pre-Game Talk: 2022 NHL Draft Mega Thread: All Draft Talk Goes Here!

[HabzSauce]

Last year they took Doan jr. Their motto is 'we want players that believe in the desert'

This is my bet as well. Local boy Gauthier. And it's not that big of a reach Bob and his NHL scouts have him at no.5.

I wonder if Seattle would pass on Cooley for Nemec.

I necessarily wouldn't read into it too much.. could be "how are you feeling?" and then telling them they've talked to him 6 times as context.

Yeah, but the agent knows Aaron is a radio personality on 690 and anything he mentions will get out... Also I think it's fair to say that Sammy C probably got his info from his the agent too. I would think there's probably a reason for sharing this info, we're all meth addicts right now looking for the next hit of news.

Maybe but what would be the point? I'm trying to figure out what leaking that would do for anything - it doesn't change Montreal's mind.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

It's interesting that the agent is making it known that the habs have been talking to him lots. Because from my expansive knowledge from watching Draft Day, there's always a purpose behind those actions.

They are speaking to all of the top 1 OA candidate's agents. Why would you ever consider for a nano second that they are focusing on just one agent?

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...we could get more...HuGo needs to hold out for a better offer...

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Didnt @WeThreeKings say that legit leaking would come from guys like Renaud Lavoie?

I don't know, but if he did, would that necessarily make it true?

 

[Michoulicious]

Crazy thought: could we package a few of our thousands LHD prospects with #26 to get into the top 10 and nab Mintyukov?

Last player I had a "crush on" like that was Seth Jarvis, and Carolina took him just before us.

 

[Goldenhands]

I don't know, but if he did, would that necessarily make it true?

He is the undisputed hockey guru on this board, so he must know what he is talking about...

 

[Justin11]

Tuesday evening and 2 days before the draft without any leaks. That is impressive.

Everyone is speculating at this point.

 

[Hacketts]

If there was a reason behind it.. I would guess that it just gives the entire situation a bit more pressure, especially with this taking place in Montreal and all the things that come with that.

 

[Goldenhands]

Polishing his list of I told you so if we drafted Slafkovsky

You are not helping your own case...

 

[HabzSauce]

I don't understand why we wouldn't go with Wright.

You either have High IQ or not as a prospect. I am terrified by low IQ players, often they have other attributes (size) but Hockey IQ should be the highest on the list of priorities.

Cooley is a pretty smart player too

Anyone tempted to watch or re-watch Draft Day?

 

[morhilane]

For us Cooley fans that's disappointing. Hope it's not something he heard from the Habs!

I suspect the media only gets crumbs from the kids's representatives and speculate based on that. Nobody is talking form the Habs (and it seems to be driving the media crazy because MB/Timmins were very leaky).

 

[Jack Skellington]

You are not helping your own case...

Are you still feeling they take Slaf at 1? I’ve honestly stopped trying to guess, I have no idea at this point. I just want it over with.

Just don’t let Hughes be the Donkey

I only want to watch the last 30 minutes, that's the best part of the movie.


Sonny Weaver Jr.:

I want my picks back, and I want David god damn Putney, just because I feel like it.

I want the no.2 pick in the draft and I want Tomas Tatar back because I well damn feel like it.

I have no clue. All we know is some noise, but nothing concrete apparently, so only them really know at this point and its possible they are not fully 100% decided yet. I believe Hughes when he says he will use all the time at his disposal, they will meet some of them before draft day apparently.

Listened to TSN 1050's OverDrive show earlier today and they had Carlo Colaiacovo on discussing if he'd be shocked if the Habs didn't pick Wright 1st overall and he said he would be shocked if they didn't take him. He called Wright's hockey sense off the charts.

Gord Miller also added that you take the right handed centerman and said that he's been highly touted since he's been 15-16 years old and like what happens a lot in their draft year they just pick everything about these players apart. I agree with Miller and that's what's been happening with Wright of late.

The Wright talk starts about 10:50 in until the end if you want to take a listen.

Colaiacovo on Alek Manoah, why the Raptors need to keep Barnes in KD Deal & Shane Wright's chances at No. 1

TSN 1050 Toronto's First Up, Co-Host Carlo Colaiacovo, joins OverDrive to share his acclaimed opinions on a possible Kevin Durant-Toronto Raptors deal, his standpoint on why Scottie Barnes should remain in Toronto amid trade rumours, Montreal Canadiens NHL Entry Draft decisions at No. 1 and if...
