So if the Habs really cherish the advanced stats, there is no way Slaf ends up our pick. So it's Cooley or Wright.

I want Wright but will be ok with Cooley. Don't want Slaf at #1!

 

[Licou]

I don't manage high heat well, but I would really love to visit the desert. So I volunteer for a year if it's all expenses paid

 

[windycity]

I'll make the sacrifice and go to Az for the winter. For the Habs. I'm selfless like that, almost Jesus like . . .

 

[Adam Michaels]

Translation: Lavoie saying Wright had a terrible year. He put up 94 pts in 63 GP. If that is a terrible year, I'd take him.

 

[le_sean]

Having a player in the AHL lets them have more control over their development.

Having a guy that can only manage 10 points in an inferior league and promoting him to one step from the NHL is silly.

Until he shows he can actually produce in a 3rd rate league, keep him there. Especially since the massive spotlight will still be on him in Laval.

 

[Habricot]

...the last two times we went Centre-hunting with a high pick, we farked it up bigtime...so either 3rd times a charm with Wright or he busts and I say we never draft another farkin' centre again!!...

The last two times although these guys were reported as centers they wete also playing wing.

My wife woke me up this morning and said “You know you guys are going to mess this up?”. She’s a Pittsburg fan from Pittsburg…

She's mean. Do you have a prenup?

 

[Adam Michaels]

I do remember in 2020, a pick or two before the Habs, Tony tweeted that he was hearing the Habs will select Guhle (when Mercer and Lapierre were still available).

 

[WeThreeKings]

And if he isn't ready for the NHL?

like I said, it isn't a significant factor; but its still a factor.

Knowing that you have the option of moving Cooley between the leagues and that you have your own coach in the AHL is a good thing.

It's basically nothing. If Wright needs to go back to the OHL, they will tell him what to work on and be in constant communication.

No organization in the OHL is going to bench him.

We appreciate that. You are a true Habs fan!

She then kissed me on the cheek and laughed as she left…

Fantastic lmao

Did you tell her that no one knows more about the Habs screwing things up than Habs fans?

This is the worst part of the draft, trying to avoid being spoiled. I'll definitely be off Twitter tomorrow night.

.. What? wasn't it Lavoie who said he thought they'd hate him

We’ve been married for 20 years…

 

[Adam Michaels]

No. Lavoie said he'd fall off his chair if they take Wright. He thinks they will take Slaf. And his reason is because he can play in the AHL next year.

Yeah, I don't go on Twitter during the draft.

but? he's now saying take Wright because of his performance?

 

[MtlSars]

Nemec, Jiricek, Korchinski, Mintyukov, Mateychuk, Chesley, Rinzel, Odelius, Hutson, Pickering, Grudinin, Jansson, Fisher, Lindgren and Havelid are the best options on defense for the first 2-3 rounds.

I know you're not high on Luneau, I agree not in the 1st round but should he be available at Edmonton's pick at 61 or so, isn't he still ahead of say Grudinin Jansson Fischer(no more of those lol) Lindgren and Havelid?

I have Luneau at 44 so ahead of Fisher and Havelid. So yeah if he's there, take him but he won't be and I was listing guys who I really like for the Habs pick.

Luneau is fine but I don't think we need -another- type like that.

 

[Whitesnake]

Yeah, I don't go on Twitter during the draft.

Same here. The f***ers who keep spoiling it deserve that we find out which movies they are about to watch, and tweet them how the f*** it ends....
