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

[McPhees Moustache]

maybe the pressure and the comments here made him shrink?

Missed OHL Covid season - would've been 6'3" if they'd been able to play

I honestly think this is all smoke by Kent Hughes. He’s put on a masterclass in media relations.

Everything points to Shane. Yes Gagnon seems to be saying it’s Juraj but one of the reasons he said so was that he was meeting with the habs tomorrow. He didn’t seem to know that this meeting was actually supposed to take place yesterday but because of a delayed flight, it was moved to today. So his main reason for believing it’s Juraj isn’t even accurate….

I think this is all smoke from Kent. It’s going to be Wright. He had the most calls with management and Shane is extremely well spoken, if anything it reinforced the decision. I don’t see how a conversation or a meeting with Shane would make them turn away from him just based on how mature and well spoken he is. He gives off a good impression.

They know the importance of Centres. It’s going to be Wright I’m sure of it. I really do think this is all smoke by Kent and bravo to him, he’s done an excellent job throughout the draft process.

- air tight on decisions
- open communication with fans
- smoke screens every where to confuse other teams
- all while having to deal with his son being drafted as well

Bravo Kent Bravo Kent!

DONT GET LOST IN KENT’S SMOKE!!!

Anyone noticed Slaf's package hanging under those tight pants on that picture? Also what's in Wright's right pocket? Better not be a pack of cigarettes. I looked closely at their legs to see which player had the most muscular ones and it's most def Wright.

looks like a burner phone for all of his b*tches

 

[NewEraGM]

The only thing is that while there's a lot of things we don't have, we do not have a Slafkovsky in our pool either. Unless we want to really believe hard that Luck Tuch will be. But a big scoring winger....we don't have.

Just like we don't have a top 6 C...or a puck moving D with PP attributes or....

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!

They certainly do grow up fast. Watching them grow is incredible but at the same time it’s like slow the hell down lol

I’ll be watching tomorrow and following along most of the day Saturday as well. My wife knows this is like my Christmas. Having a few buddies over tomorrow to watch it in the mancave.

Will be here through the excitement/elation and/or tantrums lol

Brisebois is doing an hommage to Patrick McGoohan, I like it

good eye holy s***

 

[NewEraGM]

There no way Shane is 6'1 as most site say, to me he looks more like 5'11

Dude he’s sitting on a stool.

 

[River Meadow]

Honestly, seeing that Wright is almost as tall as Slaf makes me feel a lot better.

If only they had an event where they could measure the prospects in plain sight, he looks 6'05 to me.....

 

[sampollock]

I sure hope Wright... but the talking heads think Slaf.

not sure how I feel about it

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

July 8…! TV options right now are zero.

Is SN Now the way to go??

I think we can surmise what Hughes' strategy is from all of this: "chaos is a ladder".

 

[River Meadow]

Shane Caufield

 

[FLHabs]

All I know is that I'll have my popcorn ready for the sh*t show the main board will become after the pick hehe. If it's Wright, he'll be called a bust, 3rd line center, not as good as other 1st picks in the past, etc. If it's Slaf, it will be how dumb Habs are to pass on Wright, etc.

At the end of the day, I'm trusting HuGo's decision, but really hoping it's Wright!

 

[Mudz]

DONT GET LOST IN KENT’S SMOKE!!!

but the smoke is good.

It makes the pic more mysterious.

You'll enjoy the "from the Kingston Frontenacs" even more!

 

[No More Subban]

Draft the canadian boy. It's the Wright thing to do. Cmon guys!!!

NHL network probably has it

 

[River Meadow]

Wright is the most likable of the 3.

He's charming the pants off of me, tbh.

How can you not like his personality.

We shouldn't have a problem with him clubbing and nightlife stuff either, he's too mature for that stuff.

#Wright1stOA baby

Talking heads gonna talk…

Sportsnet and TVA Sports in Canada both on Thursday's Round 1 and Fiday's Rounds 2-7.

In the States, ESPN will have Round 1 tomorrow and NHL Network will have Round 2-7 on Friday.

Tomorrow when the GDT is created, they will surely have the time and channels the drafts will be on.

 

[Skip Bayless]

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