HF Habs: 2024 NHL Draft Thread

[Shutdown]

How about we just keep things simple and win the lottery.......

it would take less than a week for someone to create a Trade Down from #1? thread with the absolute worst trade package proposition you've ever seen

How do we get Catton and Lindstrom?

How do we get Catton and Lindstrom?

We don't, cause we're not greedy. I'd get Catton before Lindstrom, unless the lingering wrist injury is not real.

While this is nice and all, I don't expect any of them to say "I'd rather retire from hockey than play for the Habs."

I'd say exactly that if they asked me about playing (and living) in Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary, Philly, New York, Colombus, LA, Carolina, Sunrise, and Buffalo. Miss me with these shitty ass cities bro I ain't living there.

Exactly ! Those comments couldn’t mean more nothing then this

I'd easily live in butt f*** Manitoba for like 15 years and make a minimum of 50 million during that time. Could always move elsewhere when you're retired at like 35 and a multimillionaire.

You got a point, but if the alternative is living in much better cities...

Unless someone falls unexpectedly, Basha would be a real solid pick.

Fun fact: He speaks french

 

[jaffy27]

Eiserman’s only positive is an elite shot. Just in the U18s he scored a hat trick yet didn’t play like a top forward for USA. Hes very one dimensional and there’s lots of question marks about his ability to compete

If Lindstrom, Demidov and Iginla are off the board, he’s the player to pick!

 

[Vachon23]

If they are all off the board, Levshunov is there so you take him

Not really, it's possible the habs drop to 7

Is Lindstrom so low due to injuries or what other concerns do you have

Nothing too crazy generic. I guess Levshunov is very low. Lindstrom too.

neither of them has a lingering wrist injury

Top NHL draft prospects Catton, Lindstrom done for season

Lindstrom had dealt with multiple injuries in the second half of the season.

[JeffreyLFC]

He has hands, size, shot and he has a lot of untapped potential (he just had his growth spurt) but because he was not considered a top 5/10 pick all year people believe he is the next Kotkaniemi.

Drafting is always about projection and not always about what he is now but what he will become.

cool. try finding the word wrist on that page.

 

[Nicko999]

Imagine if they did go Sennecke. It would be out of nowhere.

If they want Sennecke that bad, you can do a trade a la Romanov and draft him.

This way you have 3 1st round picks as you get to keep Winnipeg' one.

who are you willing to give up that is also worth a mid-first?

not saying it's a bad idea - just not sure who fits that equation that doesn't fit the team's long-term plans.
