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

Greed is good.

1 Wright
? Mateychuk
26 Firkus

Friday morning coffee - sooo good.
Oh, Thank You for your service, Josh Anderson.

 

[Habsfan18]

Josh Anderson
26th overall
33rd overall

Vs

7th overall

Do you say yes or no? Too much? Not enough?

 

[Captain97]

Woah

 

[Runner77]

Those sources are idiots. Cause the same people have Nemec as a top pairing D and still have him below mere 2nd liners. Smh

I guess Bob’s scouts are in left field too. And others. I don’t know, just going by what’s been put out there by scouts.

Yeah, the Nemec thing is a contradiction. If it were the case, he should have been among the top 3 finalists.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Wright and Ohgren would be beautiful ESPN

 

[Schooner Goon]

Seems obvious to me. They probably want to prepare the kid for post draft interviews.

You don't think it's to ask him if he'd prefer Mesar or Sykora as a teammate?

 

[Whitesnake]

Josh Anderson
26th overall
33rd overall

Vs

7th overall

Do you say yes or no? Too much? Not enough?

Too much.

 

[Runner77]

Like I said earlier. It doesnt matter to trade to NJ. They know we are not picking Slaf.

Nobody knows. Otherwise, I’d be betting my house right now.

 

[Goldenhands]

You don't think it's to ask him if he'd prefer Mesar or Sykora as a teammate?

Thats a fair possibility as well...

 

[Deebs]

Duh. The draft being held here precludes it but there is nothing dumb about it other than your ad hominem post.

It's a terrible idea, pure incompetence

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

The decision has to be done that's why I don't get why they would meet with him tomorrow. I actually can't find a viable reason for it.

Keepin up appearances for trade bait

 

[Karma Police]

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.

Marty tree trunks never changed. I remember when I saw him hoist the cup at the Arena Samson in Ste-Dorothée. Man those legs. Only guy that comes close is Francis Bouillon. He has thighs the size of my chest

 

[Habsfan18]

Too much.

Maybe Anderson and 26th can get it done. I agree that pick 33 is a valuable one.

 

[Saundies]

Too much.

It's funny because if you go over to the Ottawa board, they think the idea trading Anderson, Dvorak, and 26 isn't even enough for 7th overall (AND a boat anchor in Murray).

Funny to see how fanbases value their assets.

 

[Price is Wright]

If Ivan Miroshnichenko is available at 26 or 33 you take him and get him on a flight to Montreal.

 

[waffledave]

They will need to give Wright his own set of keys because he's the kind of guy who won't want to leave.

Things can always change. One or another prospect can have a serious training injury. Someone can come out of the woodwork with some sort of personal issue or addiction. Some scout can come out with a really persuasive reason to pick a different guy. Maybe Nemec shows up for an interview and has grown to 6'6 or something. Maybe the habs trade a couple of guys, or pick up two more centers locked in long term.

There is no reason to say much publicly until they actually have to make the selection.

They are probably set assuming no massive changes.

Yep..and you should see Sidney Crosby

All of that due diligence could have been done before the draft.

It's just weird

Just draft a full Slovak line

 

[Hannibal]

Very interesting that Slaf is meeting again with the habs tommorrow, on draft day!

 

[Runner77]

It's a terrible idea, pure incompetence

Especially that Hughes himself left the possibility open. As he should have. You don’t close the door to any potential opportunities. That’s sharp management, on the contrary.

I can't be the only who feels like MSL could enter the Habs lineup in an injury situation and still outskate half the guys on the ice. He's only retired because bottom six Marty just doesn't work for him. The man is amazing.

 

[Skip Bayless]

If Ivan Miroshnichenko is available at 26 or 33 you take him and get him on a flight to Montreal.

I don't think he will be

I don't take him that early. Too many question marks and none are the kid's fault.
