I don't mind trading down but I sure want an awesome prospect coming back along with their first if they have someone of interest. Who are the Flyers and Caps top prospect?

I would draft Mitchy if it doesn't make sense to move down

7
22
Foerster

If Philly wants Michkov that badly, this would be my ask.

 

[Rapala]

And if Michkov is there at 5 they are trading down also

No they are listening to offers. It doesn't mean they will pull the trigger.

I don't know Foerster at all. What's his projection?

 

[The Real Timo]

Sigh... time to shower and got to work. Them servers better be ready to handle lots of clicking.

 

[ReHabs]

The Habs social media agent has already bumped this up the ladder for serious consideration. Don't be surprised if they contact you to find out if you can get @ReHabs on board.

The offer is under consideration but I'm no so easy.

 

[Skip Bayless]

My soul tonight if we draft a third liner



Im the lawnmower

I just let that run the whole way through for the first time, beautiful.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

How do you rebuild without drafting elite talent? On top of that you want to trade down.....

Draft another Carey Price and pray he plays for .940 1.59

 

[Habsfan18]

Cory Pronman just released his latest mock with The Athletic this morning.

Has us taking Reinbacher and notes “the league is convinced the Habs won’t take Michkov.”

The people he has talked to around the league are convinced it’s either Reinbacher or Leonard for us.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Friedman: no one believes Montreal is done. They believe they're willing to move down

* 5
* Pitlick
* Rights to Gurianov
for
* 7 (Leonard or Reinbacher)
* Foerster


All of Leonard, Reinbacker, Forester are right handed shots. Something our age 25 and under needs. Foerster is 21 and close to NHL ready. He's got size and developing well.

Not saying I'm drooling to make that move but something I can see them doing.

 

[Supersonic]

Good god it’s finally over THANK YOU

That means.....HE OURS!!!!

 

[Nedved]

That is one hell of a perch. You won't find many like that around anymore that species has been decimated in our local waters.

that's sad, mostly because as a child my dad would put small hooks on my line so I can catch a few if we didn't land any pickerel or bass.

We suffered all season to get 5th OV in a draft with a clear top 5 so that we could trade down and blow picks on Newhook. Kill me. This franchise is cursed.

I would be disappointed if out of this whole year we drafted a low impact player but I am always weary of the consensus. In 2015 there was a near consensus that McDavid, Eichel, Hanifin, Strome and Marner would go top-5. Yet if you look further back in the top-10, you have Werenski, Meier and Rantanen who turned out better than a few of those players who were consensus top-5.

Draft day is here. Vegas Cup run still irritates me as hell. Fresh expansion team wins and once almighty Habs reach cup final just once in three decades. just draft impact player, im tired to mediocrity

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Friedman thinks Philly has Washington convinced they'll take Michkov, so Caps might try to move up

 

[Habs Halifax]

Who's the one who made the other look better? Smith or Leonard?

Or are they similar values?

I don't trust our scouting staff to find them. No interest in Michkov and trading down = my interest in this draft falling off a cliff. Cheers to another 2-way glorified grinder with the right karakter.

 

[Archijerej]

But that's how i like my tits. Up.

You mean your man tits? I hear you, man. That's how I like mine as well.

 

[Habsfan18]

I don't know Foerster at all. What's his projection?

6’2, 195lbs. Lethal shot. Would be deadly on PP with Caufield. 20 goals in his AHL rookie season and 3 goals in 8 NHL games. Has shown decent defensive chops as well from time to time, could be a solid two-way player in short order.

 

[gunnerdom]

I'm in downtown Halifax today. Any suggestions on where to watch the draft?

Either draft well or be super aggressive and don't settle for less than great. You can't do neither.

Btw I saw your other comment about not drafting Russians, I hope you'll come around if we get Michkov. It'll be great to have a star talent up front finally.

 

[the]

Only way I'm happy if we trade down is if Gallagher is included in that trade.

 

[SnapVirus]

People are high on Smith cause he has Zegras’ type of habilities where he can move the puck really well and create plays.

But I really like Leonard personally. He is a gamer. A scoring machine. A guy qho creates havoc and posession. And when its important he raises his game up.

If i had to pick between the two. It would be a f***in pain.

 

[Jack Skellington]

I want Michkov soo bad but if Kent is gonna be a p***y about it he better make them pay hand over first for it. Get a bidding war going and make it hurt bad. Because the second Michkov comes over it's going to hurt us bad. Especially if Leonard or Reinbacher or whoever are still 3rd line/pair.
