Guessing we're looking at another top 10 pick next year. Lose a bunch of games with inexperienced D

nah, habs played better when he was out of the line up. The big question mark is will Montembault play at his level from last year. He was fantastic.

I wanted a forward, but I always said that if Reinbacher can become a Seider // Heiskanen that would be a very good pick. Since the draft, I believe that's a great pick. @Goldenhands and @WeThreeKings like his potential and when I say to them if they believe that he have potential to have same impact of a Seider, they say yes. So I'm hype to have him in the system. Hutson - Reinbacher can become a very very solid pair.
Exactly. A trade down for another first and Jiricek (2022. ex.: 3rd + 29th from Arizona = Jiricek + Howard or Fircus or Schaefer. In 2023, Michkov or a trade down + another first (ex.: Flyers 7th + 22th = Leonard + Perreault or Bonk.
I know it's easy to do it after the drafts, but it was a serious option last year and this year.

Assuming we aren’t wrecked by injuries, hopefully late lottery. Should be able to get a decent top 6 in that range.

No Jiricek I found him to be very impression at the U18

His current ranking is early 2nd. We'll see if he moves up.
Seeing our tendency from the last 2 drafts, we should be drafting Michael Nygard so that we can say we drafted the highest prospect from another country (this time Norway) after Slovakia and Austria. 
Sorry, I don't see it with Wright
I woulda personally prefered
Cooley/Leonard
Nemec/Michkov
Nemec/Leonard
I say that because I wanted Cooley and Nemec at 1 and 2 last year and one of the forwards this year with a slight advantage to Leonard
I think Cooley with Leonard alongside Caufield and Suzuki with Dach in the top 6 would have been a joy to watch
Interesting that Howe didn't crack your top 25. He's going to be one of the older players in the draft and it'll be fun to track his development. I'm curious as to how he's going to fare being the catalyst for Regina.
One of my personal favorite prospects in this draft is Demidov. I doubt he makes the big club on a permanent basis (maybe a loan to Sochi could be in effect?); he showed a lot of promise when I saw him in the MHL last year. I could see him fall out of the top 5 with the Russian factor and so on, but the skill on that kid is incredible.

You know what they say about stats….
Sure and if Beck becomes Bergeron and Slaf becomes Mario Lemieux they would become excellent picks too.
We’ll see what Reinbacher actually becomes. I don’t see Seider/Heiskanen upside.
Now you gonna have to enjoy Slaf and Suzuki and Caufield and Dach at front.
But now you have Reinbacher play alongside Hutson and Mailloux alongside Guhle and Xhekaj alongside Barron….on paper this is pretty sweet!!

It's more realistic to project Reinbacher have a same impact of Heiskanen or Seider than Slaf have a same impact of Lemieux. What he did in Swiss league that's very good. SHL, Liiigaa and NLA are very close league each others. Reinbacher have season like them in Euro league at same age. The potential of him is very tremendous. So I'm not biased, we are just selected a guy who play already good in a great league at 18 years old. Let's be hype about this!!
They’re not stats, they’re results
Curious, how many Reinbacher games have you watched? Like what feed are you using to watch his Swiss league games?
This you?

I think it a pointless exercise to try to list out two different draft years, it is impossible to remove the bias of knowing what players did in their D+1. Cutter Gauthier is an example of someone who would have been lower on lists last year and would get put higher than in actuality because of...

Hahaha! I just wanted a forward, but since the draft, I like that pick and the idea of having Guhle, Hutson and Reinbacher in Habs roster, that's potentially to become very very good.

We might be in a position (or not) to send you a dart concerning Slaf ;-)
I’m not gonna pretend I’ve seen all his games but I tried catching a handful once he started getting hype as the possible top D in the draft. NL hockey have a daily pass I’d recommend (if this wasn’t a troll question and you genuinely wanted to know for your own purposes).
Could the draft 2023 and 2024 be like the 2015 and 2016 draft? Celebrini is on the same tier as Auston matthews. 2 great draft back to back. Hope, we get more ''lucky'' next year.(lottery)

Ah. We are on an exchange board. Cant always agree and "predict" everything right.
I hope he makes you wrong because that would be aligned with our shared goals. No need to delete your account for this if it happens. Otherwise, HFBoards would change even more than the NHL coaching carrousel.
