just a potential 50 goals 90+ points player we just passed on like a bunch of lunatics. God forbid some people are still disapointed 30 MINUTES AFTER THE ACTUAL PICK. We should all act like nothing happened here.

I mean who cares about first line elite talent lmao, Habs surely had no problem aquiring it in the last 20+ years.
and a potential to. Ever play in the nhl how insee it.
Your point and mine are as valid I say .
 
More to being a superstar than just talent. Let's wait until he plays 1 NHL game before we anoint him the next great one.
LoL but if you don't have talent u cannot be a super star!!
Let's wait and see!!
Just because Habs fked up doesn't mean he won't be a hell of a player
 
I’m here late. I wanted Michkov, but with that said my 2nd was Reinbacker. You can’t trade for top dmen . Montreal can’t sign any top UFA dmen . They needed to draft one.

It would have been nice to trade down, but this isn’t the end of the world like some would say
I mean we’re probably gonna have a high pick again next year and the next draft is supposed to be a better one for dmen.

When are we gonna be in the position to draft a talent like Michkov again? Could be a decade or more.

It seems like we’re half-assing our rebuild much like we did under some of the Bergy years. Most of our prospects are middling prospects acquired in the 3rd-5th round which will likely bust.

We needed to tank properly the last two seasons and acquire multiple firsts and 2-3 seconds in each draft, like Chicago.

To have one pick to show it for this year, and still not have a #1 centre, a #1 D, or a #1 G in the system or on the roster is very disappointing.

You have better luck winning the lotto max. Forget about it. We are not going to see a 100pts player in Montreal.
