[Chili]

Every year there is a bunch of talk about trading into or within the top ten, in reality though it is so rare. Seemed like there was a legit shot this year with the Michkov wildcard.

 

[Runner77]

now this had me in tears LMAO

The * bong hit* at the end of that post killed me.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Did a russian oligarch bought the Yotes?

Lets be honest, Arizona will just trade these guys 4 yrs from now

 

[TheFalk]

Price wanting to grab David Michkov..

the guy had to work with 1 goal margins for 90% of his career here, cant blame him for wanting to go talent up front..

 

[donghabs98]

Benson is really falling

 

[Bombshell11]

Benson's like 160 lbs. winger

170lb plays all forward positions and has an excellent D game.

 

[LaP]

So obviously I didn't see something from Benson. I really thought he was top 10 based on what I saw/read. Obviously teams don't think so.

I was putting him more like 12th as i said all day long i'm not a fan.

 

[Natey]

His skating is way overrated, like Newhook's

Overrated? Far from it.

Benson's edgework is second to none. He's unreal.

People just call him a bad skater cause he's not super fast.

Yet they'll go nuts over Will Smith who's your grade 3 cherry picker

 

[ReHabs]

So the Russian prospect smearers, how's this looking?

 

[The Great Weal]

Arizona is a money laundry coverup. They are more drunk than Carey.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

who cares we have a boat load of small players, he's too good to pass on.


he's Mesar on steroids x2

He will score 400 points ?

 

[Kaladin]

3 Russians selected in the top 12. Do none of those teams know about the war?!? Surprised it wasn't a complex and multilayered decision for them. This is what I was told by the multiple Russian experts that spontaneously sprouted up on this sub forum over the last few months... Guess these teams didn't get the memo about the war in Ukraine.

I'm speechless.

 

[Habano]

The more things change the more they stay the same in Montreal

It's becoming exceedingly hard to root for this organization. After being traumatized by Bargainbin for countless years, we have to put up with Mr. Clean and the Pall Bearer. In a matter of 48 hours we went from PLD and Michkov/Smith/Leonard to Newhook and Reinbacher. I was pissed last year with the Slaf and Mesar picks, I wanted Wright/Cooley and Kulich/ Lambert and now this pick. I don't think even Bargainbin could've f***ed up this bad. Disgusting!

 

[sampollock]

Not showing the Habs table...
This might is done

 

[Natey]

Benson is really falling

Is there anyone we can do to move up and grab him?

He legit seems like a player Hughes would love

 

[Riddick412]

Gary the Weasle telling all Arizona picks, "don't worry, we'll get you a cup just like Vegas, no worries".

 

[dinodebino]

Poor Carey. This will last on YouTube for decades. Just like Clarke and Holmgren.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's such frat move. Lol

it's those ugly ass suits

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Grant is a dawg

Put some respect on that man

 

[DavePeak]

Daniil But c'est son nom!

 

[Nashy]

So that Florida pick that could have been 17 would have been wasted regardless....good to know.

 

[HuGo Sham]

This f***ing board is going haywire. Not loading. So slow

 

[Maliki2]

Next time we should get Halak to announce the pick.

Get "Redlight"!

 

[Bombshell11]

He will score 400 points ?

Mesar scored 50, he did 96 i think

close enough

 

[Treb]

Man, Arizona killing the speed mock draft.
Simashev picked 6th, was 22nd in the mock.
But picked 12th, was 27th in the mock.

Benson (3rd), Wood (8th) and Gulyayev (10th) are the current fallers.
