Imagine calling Slaf a low celling selection...

He's trading our 5th overall pick and the 4 next 1st round picks for Fantilli? JesusKent setting us up for tomorrow

That's a horrible evaluation. He went 1st OV for a reason. He has great playmaking and athleticism.

Yeah that was the only part I disagreed with. I liked her assessment of this draft for us though.Imagine calling Slaf a low celling selection...

I was holding out hope that the Habs move up to grab Fantilli but with todays trade that ship has sailed

Slaf is a great playmaking winger. He hasn't even scraped his ceiling yet... he's only played ~ 30 games.

If you rebuild, they will come.

In the end, one day....soon....we will need MORE elite talent.
The last 2 times we took a risk. We have won big time (Price and Caufield). Maybe ,we will add Hutson to that list soon. Come on Kent, take a risk and gamble on Michkov.

Haven't had an elite F for 30 years. Just draft BPA.
I, a fool, bought a subscription to TSN last week thinking it was on there. Oh well.

Tbh we need star power (we got the depth) on this team and there's only one way to get a game changer : draft the highest possible.

Did you forget about his 6ft3, 230lbs body, and his boyish good looks and charm + interview skills?

Hugo: “Ahem… Given the new approach to adding young players, we decided to trade our 5 pick for Alex Lafreniere and Kakko, yeah that’s right… both of them”…
Next year Hugo at the Scout Direction meeten: “Who else did you guys like in the last few drafts? … wait, is that the pro scouts, now … or still these guys. Do we still need these guys?”

The thing with slaf is once he figures out how to make some more space for himself from the boards to the slot every single one of his tools will increase twofold if the kid can ever learn to get seperation from his checker at the NHL level its over

Habs 4 Life
No Excuses
Picks 31 and 37 weren't going to be anywhere close enough to move up from 5 to 2
Regardless, I'm expecting we move from 5 to 7 tomorrow night unless by miracle Carlsson drops to 5
