He’s a big centre and there aren’t a lot of them available in this draft. Him and Hage could definitely rise up unsuspectingly like Hayton and Danielson. Probably not as high as Hayton, but would I be surprised to see one sneak into the Top 10? Not really. I suspect they both go in that 10-20 range.
Korchinski.
MO Beaudoin just posted they have big interest in Boisvert. Sucks for me cause I liked him for us with WPG.

The Isles have a terrible prospect pool. I wouldn’t be surprised if they trade down yet again. Maybe the Habs would want to move up 6 spots to grab someone.
Should the Habs move up to get him?Boisvert is definitely going top 20. I don't see him getting past all of St. Louis, Washington, NYI & LAK. One of them will take him.
Rempe must be playingKakko scratched tonight. I have a feeling he'll be the next draft day rehabilitation project.
You think if he is available we take him over Sennecke or Iginla at 5?View attachment 875319
This stuff should cast enough doubt on him that the top 4 teams would go D rather than Lindstrom
Ideally he moves to wing in the NHL IMO. He has some weaknesses in carrying and distributing the puck.He’s a big centre and there aren’t a lot of them available in this draft.

Looking like a player is ‘’involved’’ doesn’t mean they are more than the player who does the same thing but more effortlessly and doesn’t look like they’re as intense as the other player.If you're pointing fingers at me here, you got the wrong guy. I explicitely said earlier in this thread that I know Iginla has nothing in common with either Tkachuk brother.
This is the situation that's eerily similar. i.e. this fanbase falling in love with a "lanky tall guy" with "great offensive potential", "awkward style" who still has to "fill his body".
Oh, and saying "bloodlines don't matter", "you need to get more of an impact forward than {player of your choosing} at position {wherever we picked in 2018 and 2024}", because of a perceived "low ceiling".
This is a carbon copy of what happened 6 years back.
Still, nobody can tell me Tij Iginla's compete level and engagement without the puck is inferior to Sennecke's. There are sequences of Sennecke out there where he's completely disintererested. There aren't a ton of sequences of Iginla floating around of cheating and going to the offensive blue line when the puck is still at the goal line in his own zone. Nor is there a lot of sequences where the guy is just completely static and dropping his coverage.
Couple that with the fact that there are TONS of scouts who seem pretty split on whether this guy has what it takes to be a good pro (Scott Wheeler article, this report from the scout on the RDS page...), I'm not sure why people are acting as if Sennecke is a safe pick. He's not. He's pretty much the guy who has the biggest potential to be a bust in all names discussed at 5.
We're literally the only fanbase rooting for this guy that high.

my inconsistent 'insider' contact who was informed way ahead of time on the Price drinking issue, but failed on the Subban return to the habs just before he retired, insists he's been told by numerous people around the org that habs are drafting Iginla
I don't disagree with you. but the dude is at habs get togethers, golf tourneys is close with Pete Mahovolich who's a pro scout with the panthers. Guess we'll seeThis is when you know they're just grabbing at straws. They haven't even had the combine yet, finalized their list or any guess on how the draft will go. Demidov could be there at 5, saying they'll draft Iginla in May is insane. Doesn't check out.
18-20
Let’s hope you’re right! Do you think they would take him over Demidov?Yes unless the medical are bad.
He's pretty much the embodiment of what they want. Big. Skilled. Mean.

Agreed. Fun to speculate thoughThat seems like the perfect position to hear about Price's issues, but not the draft plans.
At best, he's heard the preference of some of the scouts, but no way he would know the actual draft plan (that we 100% know isn't actually in place yet).

Cherry picked stats that means nothing.
Remove the 50 goal threshold but keep the 115 points and suddenly Marco Rossi (39 goals 120 points) and Nic Petan(46 goals 120 points) names pop.
Catton does not have any elite quality that Crosby/Kane/Bedard had.
