[Kaladin]

Lafleur much?

So we have one example since 1971? Great. I said modern anyways.

What is modern?

 

[Runner77]

Did he just admit he was a floater this past season?

 

[Team_Spirit]

Puts in context the size difference between the two as well

Yea Slaf legs are tiny wth

MSL noticed for sure.

Wright is leaning too.

 

[Kaladin]

Modern generational players. You mean McDavid and Crosby? Ya two guys didn’t have to switch. Two guys who were bigger and better defensively. It’s called a small sample size.

Fine - shift the definition to 1st overall picks instead. How many of those guys have changed their position since 2000? Fairly large sample size.

 

[dinodebino]

Slaf looks like a young Ivan Drago.

 

[Gustave]

So f***ed up

Kaprizov, THE Kaprizov?

At that rate the draft elligible players in town should just stay in NA.

 

[McGees]

I mean choices are montreal, poverty Arizona, living in Newark, a newish expansion team, Philly, Columbus, Ottawa, etc.

It reminds me of the Matthews draft. Pick between the other Canadian teams, Columbus or Toronto. The choice is pretty clear imo. Players don't want to sign here but starting a career as a hab is a totally different proposition

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

McDavid and Crosby lol

Huge list

 

[Jabba11]

Slaf saying that when he retires, he wants to be known as the best player taken from this draft.

Not too impressed. I prefer Shane’s answer on how he wants to win Cups more than individual success. I want a winner. I want the Cup. We can win the Cup with Wright and watch highlight reels of McDavid. Win-win situation.

 

[McGees]

The top 3 of the draft together :

"You guys gotta join me on my SICK podcast, it is SICK!!
Is this a joke????"

 

[Doublechin]

Kaprizov, THE Kaprizov?

At that rate the draft elligible players in town should just stay in NA.

Apparently he fled Russia and is wanted for forging fake military papers to Russian players

 

[donghabs98]

What's the point? They've done everything so far to keep it all tight wrapped, why unravel it right before it happens?

I'm missing something just not sure what.

A trade for 2nd overall!

 

[BergevinBurner]

The top 3 of the draft together :

We gotta trade for Jersey's pick and then use our 7th on Marinaro.
I wanna see that line on opening night

 

[Schooner Guy]

Slaf looks like a young Ivan Drago.

I used to think the same of Hedman.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

There's certainly a point to it.


Wherever he goes, he'll be a fan favourite.

Until he’s not producing...

 

[Runner77]

Indeed imagine hime being picked #1 and then somehow mades it to the nhl year 1 just to end up with 4 goals and 6 assists in 60 games.

Let's see if he still smiles while giving a cheeky response.

Media would be brutal on him also because hes not 1oa material.

News flash: none of them are 1OA material. Projection for top 3 from several sources are 2nd liners. I wish the Habs would trade the pick but not likely to happen.

 

[Michelangelo]

Can we just fast-forward to the draft already?

 

[Schooner Guy]

Haha! If those three went out on the town tonight, which of them do you think would get the fewest looks from the ladies?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Today was the coaches' golf tournament here in Montreal.

The ones I can tell is Jacques Martin, Larry Robinson, Marc Crawford, Kirk Muller, Stephane Waite, Jay Woodcroft, John Hynes, MSL, Dave Hakstol, Brad Larsen, Gerard Gallant, Mike Sullivan & Dean Evason.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Handling the medias for one day is one thing.....we'll talk about it after a year or two. It's not when the medias loves you that it's though, it's when they start to turn against them.

KK was all smile when he came here and his smile quickly went away

KK was a wimp through and through.

Slaf is like your daughter's new boyfriend that comes to your bbq and everybody loves him because he makes fun of you and there's nothing you can do about it.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

That’s a spicy meatball

 

[Kaladin]

Apparently Cooley's flight to Montreal got cancelled. Him and his family drove eight hours instead by car! What a mess our airports are these days.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Height maybe but Wright looks a little stronger
