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

You are not helping your own case...

You're free to do it.. everyone dragged me when Poehling was a WJC MVP.

When you sing your song, you better make sure you've won.

[Goldenhands]

Hehe not really, I still have the same 5 names, the most valuable ones.

Lol I feel like a we’ve all settled down a bit in the last three days though hahaha

2 possibilities, I keep being the laughing stock on this board or I make a little wink to the ones concerned, nothing really bad, just worth a good laugh.

It's been a much nicer time. Everyone is just reading tea leaves at this point looking to see who they take.

I'm fine with any of 'em. I just prefer the centers. It's too valuable of a position and its clear Slafkovsky hasn't made a case for the Habs to say he's unequivocally better than the centers. But clearly size is what is keeping him in the equation because his position isnt.

2 possibilities, I keep being the laughing stock on this board or I make a little wink to the ones concerned, nothing really mad, just worth a good laugh.

FWIW, I don't think you're a laughing stock even if I put a few 'haha' emoji's on some of the stuff you say.

You like Slaf
I like Cooley
Others like Wright

We all like our guys but I think we all get the attraction of the other player and ultimately want the Habs to get it right and if they don't get the best guy, they at least get a key player moving forward.

de la rose vibes

Not really, Ohgren is more talented offensively, better shoot

 

[Karma Police]

Shane Wright will fix our center line for years to come. With Suzuki and Wright, we will have at least 7 more years of a great duo at center.

Suzuki LH
Wright RH
Perfect for faceoffs in our zone in key moments

I don't think you're a laughing stock either, I just like busting your chops because of how vocal you've been regarding wanting Slafkovsky....But I'm just a naturally sarcastic prick.

Suzuki is RH though

shit my mistake rofl.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He didn't say they didn't know who -they- were picking. Just that they haven't told anyone. He said if he doesn't know, not to be egotistical, but he's talked to everyone you could talk to and they didn't tell him. So no one knows but the Habs.,

Feels like more Engels doesn't have anyone to talk to.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Shane Wright's right-handedness, usually an advantage, is less so for us since we got Suzuki locked up for a long time, and he's a RHS.

Always better to have the RH/LH combo à la Béliveau/Henri, Apps/Kennedy, Yzerman/Fedorov, Lemieux/Francis.

Not crucial, but it changes the angles of attack every shift and helps on faceoffs.

 

[Doublechin]

de la rose vibes

Not at all, De la rose was always viewed as a third line type of player and I say that as someone that liked the pick a lot back then. Ohgren is very different

This!

Plus with Wright, Suzuki and Evans being RH

They are not centers but Caufield is RH, Anderson is RH

Only Dvorak & Poehling are LH.

de la rose vibes

Not at all, De la rose was always viewed as a third line type of player and I say that as someone that liked the pick a lot back then. Ohgren is very different. I can't see him going beyond the 17th pick. If the Canucks don't take him, I can see him go to Nashville

shit my mistake rofl.

But Cooley's a lefty......

 

[Habidelidoo]

Cooley might be a lefty, but he has the size of Max Domi... Give me Wright please.

 

[McPhees Moustache]

Cooley might be a lefty, but he has the size of Max Domi... Give me Wright please.

If you're worried about size you should check out that Slafkovsky lad....

 

[SlafySZN]

Cooley might be a lefty, but he has the size of Max Domi... Give me Wright please.

Cooley plays bigger than Wright.

 

[Colezuki]

If you're worried about size you should check out that Slafkovsky lad....

Goldenhands has a sled and a list for everyone to fit in, and tomorrow he checks it twice

 

[Vachon23]

This!

Plus with Wright, Suzuki and Evans being RH

They are not centers but Caufield is RH, Anderson is RH

Only Dvorak & Poehling are LH.

You don't pass on Wright because you have Evans as RH center... he will probably won't even still be with the Habs when will compete.

Shane Wright's right-handedness, usually an advantage, is less so for us since we got Suzuki locked up for a long time, and he's a RHS.

Always better to have the RH/LH combo à la Béliveau/Henri, Apps/Kennedy, Yzerman/Fedorov, Lemieux/Francis.

Not crucial, but it changes the angles of attack every shift and helps on faceoffs.

What about Stamkos/Point (both RH), Crosby/Malkin (LH) Bergeron/Krecji (RH), Datsyuk/Zetterberg (LH)

 

[BenchBrawl]

Just take Nemec. Why not?

Change my f***ing mind

 

[HuGo Sham]

Goldenhands has a sled and a list for everyone to fit in, and tomorrow he checks it twice

i ain't getting in no sled with someone named golden hands
