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

[Adam Michaels]

Everyone wants to be drafted by Mtl and no one wants to go in Phoenix, seattle and NJ

They are so innocent. They want to come to Montreal. When you're actually in the league, you want to stay away.

feels weird....whenthe UFA begins, no one wants to be in MTL.....but for this draft, seems like every top prospect would prefer the Habs.

I mean, when there's a chance you'll have to go to Arizona instead...

f***ing beautiful

get it done

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'm really trying to understand the thought process of meeting a draft prospect the day of the draft.

 

[Benstheman]

i just dont see us having the assets for a top 10 pick people keep saying Anderson but hes not worth that much even if we package him with our #26

i agree.

To tell him he’ll have a nice career. Somewhere else.

Seattle is actually a city with a deep history of hockey. They even won the Stanley Cup in 1917. It looks like a nice city to live in too.

 

[Benstheman]

Wright and Lekkerimaki would be a dream ...

Yeah or Wright + Nemec/Jiricek

"What's up, how you feeling? Nervous? Yeah cool.

Anyway, the other guy we've been meeting with kinda leaked that we met with him a bunch so we just had to set this up to keep people off the scent. You try poutine yet? Good, eh?

Anyway, have a good night kid. See you at the draft."

Seattle is a great city and the area surrounding it is absolutely beautiful

Just throwing stuff the put some shade on their picks.....as they've been doing for the last 3 weeks

 

[Habano]

I have an inside source very high up in the organization and he told me 100% what the Habs are gonna do with their first pick. I'm sworn to secrecy so I'll let everyone know at the latest on Thursday by 8 pm......unless they're running late

low taxes, beautiful scenery, high COL but no snow

Moving Bedard too wing for Shane Wright of all people is ridiculous lol. You keep the generational C in his position.

Bedard is generational because of his offense. He can do that from the wing. As much as he’s a phenom he’s also 5’9 and not very defensively oriented. I’d prefer him used like a Gaudreau or Kane on the wing where he can take chances every play.

Shane Wright on the other hand is a guy who’s game is a natural fit at center due to him being responsible.

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…

Sounds like grounds for divorce

"Wait, YOU love the Guy Ritchie movie Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels TOO!? This changes EVERYTHING!"

We won't tell anyone. Trust us.

It's just a weird timing.. the decision should be long f***ing made by now.

 

[BenchBrawl]

If I was a player with any kind of leverage I'd straight up refuse to go play for Arizona. What a joke of a franchise. Very few teams I'd refuse to go but that one... ewww.

What a flex!

Nah it's more like;

'f*** Florida they are 4 lines deep, I can be on Montreal PP1 next year.'

 

[Adam Michaels]

That should be his mindset. But I do hope behind the scenes, they have let him know in their many talks that they may send him back to Junior. If anything, to at least gauge his reaction when they tell him.

My idea of Seattle is depressive people everywhere drinking Starbucks. And it rains.

It is.
