Based on that getting a late 1st and grabbing Connelly seems like a thing a lot would enjoy.

I feel like at this point none of these picks except Celebrini will be in the same spot by June. I just hope the lottery luck goes out way. There will be a point where a dman is legitimately the BPA if we don't pick in the right spot.

Why take a second liner over a number one d if that's how it's projecting? Which has been the case for the last few decades here..

It will be a F, we just have to be high enough they can't make a crazy reach, MBN scares me

Bob start of the season rankings already has 5 Ds in the top 10. 8 in the top 15.

The hope is that the some teams picking before the Habs take the Ds and drop the Fs. The reality is that the Habs will probably take a D because that is what they will consider BPA at their position unless it's a LD.

Tij Iginla or MBN?

Does Tij possess the same intangibles as his father?

I watched a lot of Iginla yesterday night and interviews of him, if we miss on the first tier and 2nd tier of forward (Celebrini, Lindstrom, Catton, Demidov, Eiserman, Helenius), i am all in for Iginla. Can't wait to see how he finishes the year but this kid is a potential homerun. Great goalscoring touches, strong demeanor, terrible face. With Boisvert and MBN too, plus all the promising dman, a top 15 pick should lead to a very nice piece.

Imagine if we end the first round with Lindstrom AND Iginla?

I would :eek::eek::eek::eek: in my pants.

Some good candidates for a mid-1st. Ideally we would draft an elite forward with our pick (Celebrini/Lindstrom/Demidov/Eiserman...), and then a complementary top-6 forward by acquiring a mid 1st.

We're definitely missing a profile like Iginla/MBN in our pool, but I wouldn't draft either of them top-10.

Agree with you, we need a MBN type but he’ll likely be taken even if we get another 1st.

The guy i would want with a mid/end of first is Greentree. One of my personal favorite is Jecho.

I don't know what is wrong with this video from yesterday's MHL game for Demidov (1G,1A). I thought I was tripping as I don't recall ever seeing a video do that and so I thought I will just watch today's game of Demidov (1A) and it's doing the same thing but not as bad.

The development of Helenius and Lindstrom is encouraging, opens up some more options for us in the top 10 alongside Celebrini, Eiserman, Demidov and Catton.

I'd be ecstatic to land any of the 3 of Iginla, MBN, Greentree with a second 1st as well, if we were to acquire one somehow. I feel like Greentree will end up rising significantly over the rest of his season, he's been really impressive.

Yeah I would tend to agree, hence 'ecstatic'. I think MBN is pretty safely in the 10-15 range. Greentree might get there as well. Iginla I would probably have more 15-25 right now but we'll see how things continue. I will admit to not having done a lot of research yet outside of the top 15 or so, and it seems like there's a lot of variance in rankings atm, so a bit hard to make any kind of predictions right now.
