GDT: 2023 Upper Deck NHL Draft: 1st Round, June 28, 7 p.m. et | ESPN, SN, TVAS: Nashville, TN

[Matthew McConaughay]

We lost our chance at having a superstar, and we blew it, Reinbacher will be good, but not a franchise player.

 

[durojean]

Do people here not watch the playoffs? I realize it's not as fun when our teams aren't in there but the playoffs are all about playing a heavy game, big defensemen with mobility, going to the net etc. The dipsy doodlers disappear come playoff time.

6’2 is not big for an NHL defenceman, it’s average.

Reinbacher does not play a heavy game

 

[Gravity]

Celebrini and Eiserman are some freaking good though forward prospects though. Celebrini actually performed better at this year's WU18 than Bedard did the previous year. He'd likely be #2 if he was in tonight's draft. He'll be at BU this year.

If we have the opportunity to take him, we'll pass on him for a goalie just because.

19) Oliver Moore

He is just a fancy skater. That's all he is. Not a top 5 pick. The Habs messed up so hard

 

[Whitesnake]

Bedard. And Moore. To Chicago.

Wow.

 

[Koivu11]

Sigh. Now anything come out of Hughes mouth will as much weight as Bergevin’s comments. Can’t take anything he says seriously anymore.

Molson sold us all smoke and mirrors once again.

Why do we need another D? Weren’t all these Barrons and harrises supposed to be it? Trades wasted on second tier “talent”. Drafts wasted on 3-4th liners IF we’re lucky.

He owes us explanations honestly.

The pick doesn’t line up with the comments he made.

 

[larek]

Finally got back in--
What a dissapointment !!
5th pick overall Reinbacher???
Terrible

 

[MarkovsKnee]

f***. Moore goes to Chicago.

 

[Belial]

Nice draft for Chicago lol

 

[eklund the clown]

When is our next pick? 3rd round sometime ?

 

[Team_Spirit]

Big boy Moore to the Hawks.

Mom is psyched.

 

[ottawa]

Getting here late but let me be the first to say I am very disappointed with the management. If Michkov ever sniffs PPG to 100 points level then this is fireable.

 

[vokiel]

Man look at Moore and Bedard tear up the league in a few years.

 

[Boris Le Tigre]

I bet Barlow would give ya a cigarette (if he had one … good dude)

 

[David Suzuki]

Reinbacher does not play a heavy game

He wasn't my pick but at least pretend like you've watched him lol

 

[larek]

Have to add - I liked Hughes better than any Hab Gm for years - But now? He's gone down some for me Kind of like the Michael Vick fiasco

 

[Gravity]

Chicago will win a cup again before us. I'm confident.

 

[habsfan891]

Kent and the draft team can just stay the f*** home tomorrow

 

[sampollock]

690 will be hot

 

[waitin425]

Michkov has the 2nd highest ceiling in this draft. Reinbacher feels like a safe pick. But for what? I hope nothing but the best for Reinbacher. I have my doubts this was the best though.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

20) Eduard Sale

 

[sampollock]

Leonard is what the Habs need , toughness

 

[NotProkofievian]

Hoping for Alex Ciernik tomorrow.

 

[CaptnNemo]

I have to agree, I'm a bit disappointed but after taking a few breaths, we did pick the best D man of this draft.

You can't have to many D's as they are tough to find and can fetch a lot if you need to trade for offensive assets. And as of now, we have quite a few good / great potential D prospects.

I think that the issue now is that we need a goalie for this team to be successful in a few years and hope for multiple cup runs.

We'll see how that goes.
