Man.

This guy broke my heart last year around this time. But he was a lot more confident then.

This time if he breaks my heart again I don’t know man. I don’t know.

Sigh.

Or maybe the Habs found who spilled the beans and played him (leroux) this time around.

Hughes probably doesn't appreciate when someone does.

It should be obvious. I want the BPA.

and how do you know that the best way to get that is not to trade down?

obviously you dont understand the concept of "value for pick". That's ok. i'll let you be ignorant

We weren't talking "value", we were talking "BPA", you said trading down would be the best way to get BPA. Sure you could get "more value", or maybe more quantity, but you don't get a better BPA by trading down. Geez dude.

 

[Walrus26]

OK I'm on board.

Just draft whichever of Smith, Carlsson or Michkov is still there. The fillet steak is there at 5 so why forego that for the premium Philly cheese steak and a decent burger at 7 & 22?

Just no. Hell no.

 

[CAUFIELD]

With the 5th overall pick , the Montreal Canadiens are proud to select

From St-Petersbug SKA , MATVEI miCHkov


Let’s send all the positive

 

[larek]

Basu is now on 690 so a good time to go eat something so I'll have something to throw back up tonight if the Habs pass on Michkov and Leonard @ 5 and they stay there and draft Reinbacher.

That f kn better not happen -or the tv is crushed

This draft lottery brings so much drama. Definitely a entertaining year with so much stories going on.

They didn't make one for the 1st overall....

And guess what....for the 3rd time in the last 20 minutes, Michkov odds improved again on the 2nd overall.

And odds from Fantilli being being picked 3rd overall went from +350 to +200 also during that time

Last year something similar happened with Slaf to the Habs. Now the question is who will remain from Fantilli, Carlsson or Smith?

 

[NotProkofievian]

I'm a francophone...but can somebody explain Leroux post to me...I have no idea what he's saying? lol

Lol, I thought it was just me being an Anglo, but good to know it was a bit tortured to a Franco's ears too.

Seriously? Time to go touch grass?

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

I hope this is not based on info he received from Chantal.

There he is lmao, the bearer of bad news is trying to ruin draft night for the second year in row

 

[larek]

Bottom line is Habs draft either Mich - Leo- Smith - or they trade the pick

 

[red devil]

Rumors saying we don't want Michkov and others saying we will pick him. Hughes and Gorton seem to be playing everything close to the vest.

 

[FrankMTL]

The site crashed when Habs select their pick every years from day one of internet life

Apparently HFBoards upgraded their server to double the strength.

 

[sampollock]

HABS better not look at Konecny + for the 5th

 

[CHfan1]

Looking at reports it wouldn’t surprise me if Columbus takes Will Smith.

My prediction:

Chicago - Bedard
Anaheim - Fantilli
Columbus - Smith
San Jose - Carlsson
Philadelphia - Michkov
Arizona - Dvorsky
Montreal - Reinbacher

Friedman has said numerous times these past few podcasts.

Everybody lies at the draft.

 

[Habsfan18]

I’m more nervous this year than last.

probably if you think you are talking to Jesus. Here it's Habs forum

 

[The Real Guy Lafleur]

Michkov's future is questionable because he's Russian. I doubt Habs take a gamble on him.

 

[RandomTask26]

Argh annoyed I’m going to miss watching the draft live. Hope it’s not too exciting - I’ll feel like I missed out otherwise lol

[FrankMTL]

Maybe if people laid off a bit and not repeat themselves all day long, the boards would be fine.

Any youtuber streaming the draft?
