One of my heroes growing up.
Bro got drafted on his 32nd birthday
Still looks younger than Levshunov.Bro got drafted on his 32nd birthday
I took my son to see Brook's first pro game, partly on the basis of that over-hyping!!"Hold my next patient, MrB1P made a ridiculous claim again and I have to remind him of the time he overhyped Josh Brook"

1. Celebrini
2. Demidov
3. Lindstrom
4. Iginla
What do?
Why would you even think that? Every serious mock draft and expert that covered the combine have them interested in Lindstrom or Sennecke. Their fanbase is also certain that they are going with a forward, some even switched from Lindstrom to Iginla after yesterday's herniated disc news.
Considering many D drafted usually don’t see the nhl for 2-3 years I do t think that should be too big an issueWerenski/Jiricek/Mateychuk/Severson will be there for a very long time so there's really no room in that top 4. Only reason for them to go with a dman is if they trade Mateychuk for a forward, but that forward might not be better than the forward that will be available to them at 4 in this draft.

It’s not wild, just misinformed. Lindstrom has a condition that neurosurgeons are best equipped to opine on, not ER doctors, et al. He doesn’t have a gunshot wound.Yeah, actually. When discussing a health issue on a message board, I'd take a doctor's opinion over 90% of other participants. I know it sounds wild, but yeah.
If I were making the pick with the info I have (basically a herniated disc caused him to miss games and kept him out of some combine testing, his doctor and agent say it's not or won't be a long term issue) and the resources I have (basically Google and unconfirmed medical professionals posting on hfboards), I wouldn't be comfortable picking him 5th either. I don't think many with the same limited info and limited resources would be comfortable either, including HuGo presumably.At some point, sure. I just don't necessarily feel comfortable investing the 5th OA pick. We're not going to have many more of those.
You make sense. Please find another board to post on.If I were making the pick with the info I have (basically a herniated disc caused him to miss games and kept him out of some combine testing, his doctor and agent say it's not or won't be a long term issue) and the resources I have (basically Google and unconfirmed medical professionals posting on hfboards), I wouldn't be comfortable picking him 5th either. I don't think many with the same limited info and limited resources would be comfortable either, including HuGo presumably.
But the teams have significantly more info and significantly more resources to gather more info and interpret the information. So if the Habs end up picking him at 5, I can do nothing but assume they and their medical staff did their due diligence (I don't think they think we have many more high picks either).
I might disagree with the pick for hockey reasons because I can watch him play, look at the data available, and form my own opinions. But I don't think I would legitimately be able to disagree with the pick for medical reasons because I have no where near the information or medical resources the Habs have.
“Ill take how can the softest team in the league become softer for $1200 Alex”Trade that 5th + Xhekaj for Buffalo's 11th + Peterka...
Pick the BPA at 11th... It'll be a good player
Because there's better players available at #5.
Perennial losers? Yeah they still make them and they still play on the team that drafted him.
Pick the best D in the draft (Zeev Buium) or trade down if possible.
Sennecke.
I'd pick Sennecke if we trade down below pick 20.
That guy will be pick much higher than that.
Then too bad.
Idk. Playoffs are different game than regular season. More tight, less space, more physical, mental, etc.This playoffs thing needs to f***ign die already man. Good players are good players, there's no "playoffs" archetype.
Right on trade Marner to him.Idk. Playoffs are different game than regular season. More tight, less space, more physical, mental, etc.
Some guys consistently thrive in playoffs, some don't. For multitude of reasons
