Its crazy being that excited for the draft like 3 days ago lol with picks 5 , 31 and 37, (with 31 could of been 17 incredibly)

Aaaaand it's today, and we picked a D, aaaaand it's over lol. *hands on hips*

 

[NobleSix]

So risky.

Oh great so he can come over to make us look stupid even sooner? Wooohooo

 

[NORiculous]

So habs tank, suck to pick #5 to take a d

While passing a player that could be generational.

It’s not Reinbacher the problem. It’s passing Michkov.

But even if I like Newhook and think he will do well, the Habs have chosen the path of the bubble teams that have Cinderella runs IMO.

They will need good goaltending (which can be found later in drafts) and the will need a solid system to win games 1-0 same as with Price in nets.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

He might. I think he's a guy who's development curve shot upwards this year. A riser. Seems like this organization loves guys who jump up like that.

You mean busts?

 

[Tyson]

I stopped watching the second they picked Orville Redenbacher. When you hear your GM sat they pick the BPA and they dont...the hell with it.

 

[Treal]

Sabres are doing nice things.

 

[zx81]

I don't feel excited

It's such an underwhelming summer so far.

 

[waffledave]

You mean busts?

Lol relax. Touch Grass.

 

[Michelangelo]

Could have had Askarov + 15 (Wood) + 24 over Reinbacher

Oh well

 

[Gainesvillain]

No splash for trots

The 'splash' just might be that he avoided making a huge mistake trading Askarov.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Matthew Wood to Nashville.

 

[Jack Skellington]

I don’t think I’ll pay attention to the draft next year…

 

[Rapala]

So risky.

Then returns to Russia and re-ups.

 

[The Great Weal]

You f***ers. I had Wood ahead of Reinbacher lol. Wood+Askarov+Cristall. I can't.

 

[sampollock]

Trots got a Woody

 

[Kairi Zaide]

 

[LaP]

I'm convinced i'll never see a 50 goals scorer again or a 100 points player ever again in Montreal before i die.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Like usual.

Tons of hype about movement and f***ing nothing

 

[Belial]

I have a feeling Wood is gonna be a good one.

 

[MarkJ]

so much pressure on Slaf and Roy. lol

 

[Gainesvillain]

I have a feeling Wood is gonna be a good one.

Yep. Likely this year's Robertson.

 

[HabsCode]

How is the 2024 top 5? We are going to be there again, but obviously find a way to mess up the pick again in 2024. Just want to know if 2024 is gonna hurt because we will pass again on elite talent, or it's a weak draft.

 

[sampollock]

I'm convinced i'll never see a 50 goals scorer again or a 100 points player ever again in Montreal before i die.

Or a power forward

 

[Schooner Guy]

Two of those guys were drafted by the same team and both of them were a total reach (Boston 2015 like reach) at their respective rank. Not sure it proves anything.

Not according to their rankings. Not according to Hockey Prospects rankings. HP had Simashev at #5 and But at #7. NHL teams have totally different lists than the public lists made up by media.

 

[Treb]

Gulyayev now the biggest mock faller (10). Cristall and Moore are the other fallers.

Starting to sweat on Perreault at 19.
