1.76 ppg in the WHL and you're not a first round pick.
This century:

Make it make sense bb.
 
Imagine being a Habs fan.

Saying they want #7, #22 and Hart for #7.

Only to pick and have Price butcher Reinbacher

Idiots

You end up with Slafkovsky & Reinbacher with 1st & 5th overall selections these past two years. Can’t say I’d be too excited with that haul given the pick investments. Helps they got Huston in the second round last year though.
 
I simply don't understand Brindley not being taken. He's quick, he's a worker, he's versatile, he was nearly a point/game at Michigan, he looked great at the u20s. I don't know what there is to nitpick, even for a HockeyGuy. He looks like a player you'd slide anywhere in your top 9.

Heidt is another one I don't get, although maybe not to Brindley's degree. He might be center projectable, and he's a marvelous passer. He's a good skater who could just stand to improve his pace, not unlike Frost. He's very skilled, and as productive as he was, I think there's another level in there if he's more assertive. Maybe. It's a fine risk to me.

I had a hunch Cristall would slip to the 2nd round, even if I know he is one of the 10 most purely skilled players in the draft. And I do actually worry about his burst, and I'm pretty forgiving about skating. But it's all about picking in quantity to take a risk or account for a faller. Between the Flyers refusing to trade down for Bonk (because they worried no defenders would be left, which sure doesn't like BPA), and then refusing to trade Laughton for a 1st+ (Michkov's KHL contract doesn't even end until Laughton is a 32 year old UFA), it's just bad processes galore in accruing assets.
