Tabarnak, can we just fast forward until the draft, I'm tired of the B.S rumours.

Gotta say as renowned as MB was with “no leaks”, nothing… absolutely nothing is getting out of the HuGo inner sanctum
Really don't want Slaf. Like please no. The one pick I really won't get behind.

My inkling is MTL has no major preference
I think MTL takes Slaf unless NJ proves thats who they want.
I dont think Hughes and Co see a big enough difference if they can get another asset from a team to secure who they want
Its all posturing. Push comes to shove, it will be Slaf. If NJ comes with another high pick to secure Slaf, Hughes trades down
I feel like im going full Dreger

Not as connected as Renaud Lavoie, but kudos for at least giving a source: NHL folks at the hotel. Now to determine if that source has any value…

He seems like a nice kid. He does have charisma. I like that.
Wright is still my choice. But Slaf seems like a fun guy.

Probably as usual. why pick a center #1 bpa when you can take the winger who has a huge potential with a low % of success compared to the other top picks of the draft.I can't help but feel we're going to F this up.
Smells Puuljarvi all over again. Ill legit lose my shit if we pick Slaf. More wingers let'S go!
Lets play Evans in the top 6!!!
If it is Slaf, lets not condemn him right off the bat until we see him a few years. Everybody was calling Tkatchuk a bust before the draft and how'd that workout for you all?

Thats fine and all but their playstyle is nothing alike. Hughes is a full on princess offensive dynamo while Cooley is a more complete player that tends to stay on the outside a bit too much.

It probably wouldn't ruin my draft night but I would be a bit disappointed if they did take the winger Slafkovsky 1st.
Nothing against Slafkovsky but I just want one of the centers in Wright (my preferred pick) or Cooley because I'm sick of the Habs terrible center depth, which has been a huge issue for far too long now, and here's their chance to potentially fix that massive hole at center going forward.
Nice person has nothing to do with it.
I just don't see him being more than a 25-30 goal scorer, 60 pt winger. Only truly Elite Power Forwards are consistently more than that and I don't think he has the tools to be elite.
And you don't pass on Cooley and Wright for that. Another generational mistake IMO.

My favorite twitter user comment about McGuire:
ACTIFICATION SKILLS!
NIFTY MITTENS!
HUMAN ERASERS!
HIS MOM IS A NURSE!
HE PLAYED HOCKEY NEAR A 7-11!
HE ONCE HAD GRAVY ON HIS FRIES!

Pretty sure most of the board was pissed at the fact we missed Brady over a guy that was projected to be between 10-20 in the draft due to a ''need'' that our GM couldnt even fix in 10 years.

Man these 17/18 year old boys must be loving Montreal if they’ve never been here. I mean summer in Montreal is on another level if you have raging hormones
...lol...yeah, I remember me and a bunch of the boys back in the 90's sitting at the Second Cup on St. Catherine's when they used to take the picture window out in the Summer and just watching...horny anglos on weekend passes...oh, the money we wasted...it was all worth it...
It is starting to feel like Slaf is the pick. Nothing wrong with this IMO. If you imagine the ideal player that could fit on a line with Suzuki and Caufield, it would be something like Slaf. Wright is a balanced player, but I'm not sure he has enough energy/speed/tenacity in his game to break through and be a real difference maker at the NHL level. Slaf, with his hands and strength, will be hard to contain. Assuming Dubois ends up in Mtl via free agency in a few years, passing on Wright and Cooley does not seem to be the end of the world. There is also next year's draft, which should give us another chance at a center if Dubois does not sign with the Habs.

I have a small preference for Wright over Slaf. But I know Slaf is not Puuljarvi. I’ve reviewed video of both players head to head and the only thing Puuljarvi was close to Slaf was skating. Everything else Slaf looked a notch above.

The problem with NHL drafts is I always have my gf asking why I'm suddenly looking into barely legal boys so much.
Can't wait for tomorrow. It will be Wright, prefer Cooley and Nemec but it's all good.

Nope. Most were calling him a bust and even nicknamed him Tkabust saying he couldn't skate and all.

Yeah let's forget Kadri Mackinnon Landy , Rantanen , Buro , Toews , Girard , Byram , Newhook.
Yeah the Rangers that got a free player in Fox because he wanted to play for NYR.
It's not like they had the best goalie of the season and hell of an offensive team this season also.

If you trade 1OV for Columbus' picks, you get Savoie and Geekie, two players with the same upside as Wright for the price of one. They are already teammates too, you send them back and they will build even more chemistry! Maybe that's too risky; really, I'm fine with whoever they pick. Slaf has the neck of a horse and the smile of someone who knows something you don't, Wright is a prodigy, a génie en herbe.

Brady skate isnt the best that'S true but KK was literally bambi with skates falling like 30 times a game.

All 3 picks will be good players.
One will end up being better than the others but who knows if MTL is right environment for them to reach that potential.
No matter what, we will get a solid piece and I trust HuGo to pick the right player for us here.
No point in stressing, just enjoy the ride.
