He has Parekh at 3 but after the memorial cup where he was probably still hurt, he went down
I really like sennecke but Iginla seems more like a HuGo player. One thing that worries me about sennecke is his frame. He has some tiny shoulders lol

Demidov is a HAB
I think the Sennecke profile is the more "rare" one which is usually their MO.

You're probably right but they badly need some jam on their top 6. Slaf and occasionally Dach can't be the only ones stirring things up. If sennecke can translate his game to the NHL level, he'll probably be the best player of this draft but the way he plays is really hard to pull off in the NHL. Iginla game like Tkachuk is super translatable. Habs need to shoot for the highest floor with the 5th pick if demidov is off the board. They can't afford to flop on it

You know what would help the Habs the most? The same thing the Habs are lacking the absolutely most, even more than “jam up front”…
Playmaking skill. We have Slaf, we don’t need to draft a Robin to his Batman, we need to have the rest of the Avengers assembled. Whoever the Habs draft is likely our last shot at a topX style forward. These forwards are impossible to acquire outside of the draft…
That’s what I was going to say; I swear I saw quotes of him saying that Demidov was Mtl bound like last week. So what changed? The nature of Lindstrom’s injury being revealed?

Slaf is a playmaker, Dach is a play maker, Suzuki is mainly a playmaker. Habs need another hybrid like Suzuki who can make plays and score goals. Iginla can do both. Demidov can do both. You also need to look at players who's games translate to the playoffs better. Which player scores playoff style goals. Which one would be harder to match up against. I'm not an Iginla Stan but players like Catton, etc won't translate as well because there game focuses on dominating from the middle even though they're built like a 16 year old
Or unlike previous years, he's not getting any inside info that will indicate who they're leaning towards. Just throwing crap at a wall

Slaf is an everything but he’s not an elite playmaker right now. Dach is nothing until he proves he isn’t made of glass and suffer from boneitis. Suzuki is a two way player with good playmaking skill but not elite.
We don’t have an elite playmaker and haven’t had one in decades.

If all those forwards are gone, you gotta go Buium. He’s a game breaker.

If a lot of F are taken then some very good D — better than Buium, overall — will remain available. It’s a no-lose scenario just as long as the Habs don’t f*** it up and draft a project or someone who needs to be “fixed”.

Who knows
At least for a while the word was that Anaheim was leaning Silayev or D full stop. Suddenly they're considering forwards, legit or not who knows, the guy does have connections though so i won't go as far as saying he's farming clicks...yet

If course, but Im of the school who believe goal scoring is a function of playmaking skill. Something we lack big time.

Yes but goal scoring touch allows players like Slaf to look better in a playmaking sense. Look at him with Slovakia. Amazing plays squandered by crappy players who can't finish. Habs should focus on a dynamic player who can do it all at a high level. Thats why demidov is a must. If that's off the table, I think Iginla and maybe sennecke is the next best option

Id bet Hughes objective for this draft is to end up with two of Lindstrom, Demigod, Iginla, Sennecke, Catton, Eiserman or MBN. We need that extra top 15 pick.

Some weird stuff surrounding the Habs and Dickinson here:

Elvis est-il mort ou vivant ? L’homme a-t-il réellement marché sur la Lune ? Et Sam Dickinson a-t-il soupé avec le Canadien à Buffalo ? Autant de questions qui tourmentent les esprits les plus curieux. Le confrère du Journal de Québec Kevin Dubé l’avait pourtant aperçu en train d’attendre un véhicule en compagnie de membres de l’état-major du CH. Questionné samedi à Buffalo, Dickinson a dit avoir seulement soupé avec l’équipe de l’Utah. Mais voilà que le collègue de Radio-Canada Marc Antoine Godin affirme que Dickinson a cassé la croûte avec Montréal. Fin du suspense dans trois semaines.
