Carlson is almost halfway there already

I really think Cam Allen is going to be the #1. I get Bowen Byram feels from him and I think he will go top 5. Not for sure because of talent but I think one team is going to go for need on defense and he will be the top D available. I think he will explode this year

Comparing Allen to Byram is a little nutso. You never watched Allen apparently.

Allen is a smaller Weber. His compete is the core of his skillset.
Byram is all skills, skating, IQ, much higher ceiling for Byram.

Dahlin and Byram are quite similar.

Connor Bedard is already at 5 goals in 3 games. He's gonna finish the season with a goal/game pace if everything goes well, he is that good.
The lottery at the end of the season will be the most important event for the Habs in the last 29 years.
He's on McDavid level.
Also we need to keep in mind he will be 17 for the duration of the season, won't turn 18 until AFTER the draft.

I think Habs finish 6-9 and take Allen. What's his comparable?

Bolded part is what's insane. You'd think he'd be older with how dominant he is against his peers

 

[Whitesnake]

Too soon....but Ethan Gauthier with the Panthers pick. Would make so much sense. Love the kid. Will have a huge season.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Will you guys be cheering for Toronto and Boston over Florida this upcoming season?

And side question - will you be cheering for Montreal over Florida? Like if it's midseason and Montreal is 25th and Florida is 12th

Carlson is almost halfway there already

the way he's going he would be hard to pass at 2nd OA.

His wrist shot is already Matthews like. He f***ing slingshots it into the net. Future 40-60 goal scorer. It's sick.

He's no Shane Wright

I'm having a hard time remembering a draft as hyped as this one. Seems better than 2015 even.

Crazy to patch up team and miss out on him

I would go so far as to say that Bedard's wrist shot is not the worst I've ever seen.

That's a bold statement.

2003 was an absolute circus of hype too. And it delivered, it produced HOF/stars through the 2nd round non stop.

2023 (edit) seems to have the same projections.

Having two picks in the first round is gonna be critical to the future

2022 seems to have the same projections.

Think you mean 2023

Lol yup! Good catch

[Peteux]

I know I'm not really relevant, but I'd find it weird to draft Will Smith, just because of his name. At least he's not named Kenny West.

Maybe he'll be our pick with our second first rond pick. Looks like a an NHLer.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Michkov is 3+1 after 2 games in the VHL. The 1st rounder Svechkov was 5+10 after 38 games in his draft year...

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

One of the top dman in the 24 crop making the jump to the OHL. It was expected since his older brother played in the league but still, it's a pretty big get for Sudbury to have him right away as a 16 year old. Too bad it's kind of a crap organization
