Concerning Carlsson, maybe moving up could be a realistic option to get him assuming a team in the top 3 really likes Michkov and knows he will surely fall to 5 (imo CHI). Lets say this is the draft order :
1. ANA : Bedard
2. CLB : Fantilli
3. CHI :
4. SJ :
5. MTL :
As I see it, SJ would surely take Carlsson if hes there at 4th, but they might be scared of Michkov especially with a guy like Smith available. So, lets say CHI knows that and also wants to add more picks, maybe they call KH knowing he surely loves Carlsson and asks him for the 5th OA and 37th OA. That way, CHI could get the guy they're taking anyway + a high second, and MTL secures a superb player in Carlsson (who's imo is much better than Smith).

Terrance is good. Mid-late 2nd…solid pick, IMO.
Gibson, we both like. Soo, though, not Sudbury.

Probably could package our 4th with our 3rd to move up in draft? We have extra 4ths.

Last draft, I was thinking on Cutter with our pick. Maybe trade down 3 slots pick up late first. He fills a role

If the Habs skip on Michkov and pick a low ceiling, safe player with sub-PPG upside I think we can start a “Need a cruel nickname for our idiot GM thread” and my proposal will be K-nt Hughes.
A lot can change between now and the draft. No point getting heated about it… But I wish the Montreal media would ask the Habs organization about their discrimination policies before the draft. After the draft is irrelevant, fans will eat up any garbage put out but the organization at that point.

Otters top pick Terrance hopes to follow path of other Native American players
The Erie Otters' Carey Terrance grew up on a reservation and played lacrosse and hockey. Now, he has high hopes as he enters camp with the Otters.www.goerie.com
I'm rooting for this kid. Rare player on the US team that wasn't handed everything and competed hard in local tournaments to get recognized.
His family is also very hopeful he’ll get drafted by Montreal/Ottawa so he can stay local. I really hope Montreal grabs him.
He’s a very humble kid , I think his future is bright.

The more I watch Wood, the more he reminds me of Thomas Vanek..
The more I watch him, the more I like him.

Its very tough to know an order in the draft but
Rykov, Brzustewicz, Simashev, Ziemmer, Stenberg, Musty, Perron are a few Id love to snag.
Plenty of intrigue after Connor Bedard in Bob McKenzie's NHL Draft Lottery Edition ranking | TSN
There is no doubt whatsoever who will be taken No. 1 overall in the talent-laden 2023 NHL Draft. Beyond that, though, at Nos. 2 through 5? Check out TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie's Top 12 Lottery Edition Draft Ranking.www.tsn.ca
WARNING: This is not McKenzie's personal rankings. He polled NHL scouts.
1. Bedard
2. Fantilli
3. Smith
4. Carlsson
5. Michkov
6. Dvorsky
7. Leonard
8. Benson
9. Perreault
10. Reinbacher
11. Barlow
12. Wood
Wood at 12, Reinbacher at 10. Yeah, I can see both of these guys getting reached for in the top 10.
But still not sure if Wood is worth a 25th pick overall. Real tough call there.
Looking at Bobby Mac's list, chaos is possible.
We're getting Bedard or Carlsson boiz.

"Expect the unexpected"
If Kent Hughes and other GMs who skip over selecting Michkov is because they have the necessary Intel to make that decision. It is what it is...no need to play the blame game.
I am assuming Bobrov has connections in Russia to make the correct assessment on the matter of bringing over Michkov.

Honestly, if they took Wood at 6 or 7, I wouldn't mind it at all.

Not just Michkov — Smith has high upside too. We need a skill player who can produce, is what I’m saying.

Reinbacher vs Leonard vs Wood vs Dvorsky
Me neither. It would be a gutsy pick, but to quote someone else on this board recently ''Matthew Wood is that guy, pal.''

When did you start ranking Wood higher?
I can agree with those 4 but I think at 6/7 it's probably between Reinbacher or Dvorsky.
