I see they replaced his legs with Martin St-Louis .

Everything is coming up! lol

Yeah we are rebuilding. Last time I checked you win cups while having 2 solid center as a starter. It's just that with the ''upcoming prospect'' who are 19-20 are all wingers or Defs. We have legit nothing in the middle. Evans belong in a 4th. Dvorak will be traded sooner or later. Suzuki cant be alone in the next 3-4 years as a top 6 center. We will suck hard again this year , in 2023 we can always get a top 10 pick easily and pick a winger or a d-man then.

You know when you gonna have a great center. Wright has all the tools possible to be good on both side of the ice and we know he can shoot the puck also. Wright is a sure shot while Slaf isnt. We already destroyed Galchy , KK and traded Sergachev. Habs need to make the safe choice with the 1st oa.

You find wingers easily centers you dont.

Colin White - 2C

François Gagnon said he heard from some NHL team staff that it would be Habs' pick

To be fair Francois cover his back saying that we have to take it with a grain of slaf too....

But there's guys like Dreger with 100x times the numbers of contact of guys like Lavoie or Gagnon said it best: Whoever tells you they know who the Habs are going to pick are full of it....

When the top insider in the game don't have a single clue....it's surely not those who never know anything that suddenly gets big information

If we picked Slaf, we would make the same mistake as KK. We only has Suzuki and need another center. Wright could be a PPG center or 50/60 points center. He and Suzuki will be our 1/2C for the future. The thought that the Habs picked Skaf just made me become so angry.

Bobby Mac's draft preview came out about 8 days ago. Slaf was #1 with five 1st place votes. Wright had four 1st place votes. Cooley had one 1st place vote. It created some interesting banter here. Some minds were lost. Lots of conspiracy theories that Bobby Mac's trying to help the Leafs out. It was vintage Habs HF boards! Button had his mock draft with Wright going 1. I didn't watch it or even click on it as I was busy with Memorial Cup so I don't know where the other players went.

You must be busy these days to be out of the loop with the draft shows. I hope all is well!

Thanks, buddy! And I did read that a few days ago but I thought there were TV specials to go along with them but I’m guessing it would have been at that same time. We have a three and a half year old at home now, and I love every minute of being a dad, but I can’t focus on the draft at the same insane level as I once did. Now it’s just semi-insane.

Hope all is well with you as well!

Shane Wright is so darn cute in his interviews, seems like such a good kid...

[Michelangelo]

My ideal scenario would be
1- Juraj Slafkovsky
16- Maveric Lamoureux
33- Traded to move up and get Maveric

Would rather drink my own piss tbh

Engels is the one who said that if anyone tells you who they're picking is full of shit.

 

[River Meadow]

Pierre McGuire had interesting comments on Slaf vs Cooley.

Basically said you pick Slaf because he's 6ft4 229lbs, and Cooley is 5ft10....

My bad, thanks for correction.....

Still, when the best don't know shit....doubt the real infos will be coming from Renaud or Gagnon

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Pardon my ignorance, but why everybody talking about slaf ?

Exorcizing demons of the past.

Brisebois needs a fashion advisor.

 

[CHwest]

I don't care what anyone says I don't believe Hugh's would leak the pick.

 

[River Meadow]

ngl I want Wright now.

He really seems like a good guy and I want him in the Canadiens Organization.

That's a great age but it sure cuts into other hobbies such as following the draft...LOL! I remember giving up golf and playing less hockey. Keep on enjoying every minute as it goes fast!

I hope you have time to watch Round 1 tomorrow night. It's an exciting time to be a Habs fan!

Minus 1 is a center ppg
the other 1 is a winger with 5 goals in 35 games.

McGuire is still clueless as ever , no wonder he got fired

Slaf is like a giant compared to Wright.

It makes some sort of sense in super general terms, but... not when you're comparing a talent like Cooley.

It's a bit like saying draft Brian Bickell over Kane because he's bigger.

Looks like he made a quick stop at Value Village.

Wright looks as tall as Big Cutter Goatier....

Hey, ain't nothin' wrong w/ that!

Guy is retired let's not forget.

 

[JackZap]

Slaf is too pretty, the night life is gonna eat this kid alive. Go with the less attractive one.
