[xX SEYF Xx]

Dach vs Nazar is the question

 

[Team_Spirit]

I'm going to pretend we never owned that pick.

 

[1909]

I expected Petry Dvorak or Anderson to get rid of some trash but...

God I was wrong

They are not trash. Just too much $$$$ attached to the,. Crap is Drouin, Armia, Hoffman, and possibly Dadonov.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Fingers crossed we can offload Petry for Dallas' pick at 18.

 

[MarkJ]

Slaf is giving high fives to the fans lol

 

[TheFalk]

Nazar is the next Barzal , im disapointed we couldnt move up

 

[sheed36]

How far up do you guys think picks 26 + 62 + 92 can move the Habs up the draft here?

 

[TopTenPlayz]

They traded a 23 year old 40-goal scorer today. They're having a fire sale.

Different contexts. They couldn't resign debrincat. But they gave up on Dach, who's a young cost control center. Major gamble for hughes

 

[RationalExpectations]

Columbus takes Mateychuk. Jiricek and Mateychuk. Not shocked. Zero D prospects.

They have Werenski and Boqvist already, I think their top 4 can be very creative offensively, now let us hope they improve their defensive skills

 

[Redux91]

Good pick Chicago

 

[Adam Michaels]

Slaf going through the crowd. Love it! You hear the cheers.

 

[WinterLion]

Lekkerimaki available at this pick.....

#justsaying

GO GET HIM!

 

[LaP]

That's what you don't understand. I know we're rebuilding but the players you're acquiring right now should be part of the core later on. If they don't make it, especially in year 1 of the HuGo, people will go back to this very moment to criticize the management... similar to Galchenyuk to some extent. They'll look at other moves, players picked and make comparisons.

Of course we will. How are we supposed to evaluate a management if not by looking at the past moves?

But the amount of "experts" of young players here is staggering. Every damn draft we have people high on a bunch of guys and who complain because we are not taking them and then 2-3 years later 99% of those guys we should have drafted busted. I mean you can question the moves (like i did for JK) but to evaluate the moves already is kind of saying hey i'M a scout spending most of my time scouting junior leagues and the reality is none of us here are. The dunning kruger effect is strong every draft.

I'll do with HuGo the same i did with MB. I'll give them the time to build their team and then i'll evaluate them based on that. I wish we would have kept the 13th overall pick. I was not a big fan of Romanov i think lot of our fans overrated him. He's a nice prospect but he really project as a 4th dman. I'm as concerned by Dach as i was with JK but since he's younger i'll give him the next season to impress me and say he was worth that 13 overall. At the end of the day it's not that 13th overall who would have saved the team. It's going to be a multi-year process people have to realize that.

 

[Banjo Cat]

Well, I sure hope Jagr was right in comparing Slaf to himself.

 

[Colezuki]

Too many people overthinking this, we’re getting young, our top 6 on both D and O is young

 

[McGees]

TRADE UP FOR LEKKY!

 

[Hostile Offer]

Rushing the rebuild.

We traded a 22 year old for a 21 year old. So much rushing.

 

[RationalExpectations]

How far up do you guys think picks 26 + 62 + 92 can move the Habs up the draft here?

23 ?

 

[NicRattlehead]

Dach vs Nazar is the question

I’d rather have Nazar but what do I know.

 

[The Great Weal]

Message from Gigachad Thundercock

 

[Adam Michaels]

JURAJ! JURAJ chants.

 

[1909]

I'm going to pretend we never owned that pick.

We gonna sleep better if we forget about it.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I had Zegras but traded him this year as I was going for it. It was a very strong draft!

Damn. I forgot him. I have him too. I thought he was the best player in the draft but i got him 10th I believe.

 

[Vachon23]

Id rather flip 1oa for Laffy honestly

Same

Debrincat is two time 40 goals while Dach is two time 10 goals.
