I would, but Molson would never give the green light.
Connelly is probably in Trudeau's no fly list.
If they did, Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes would buy box seats at the bell centre

Yeah, I was guilty of this in 2018 where I underrated bloodlines. The truth is athleticism is genetic/hereditary at the very least in part, then you add the person's personal culture (which is likely of very high quality in regards to Iginla, he was an outstanding pro and person), the advantages of watching a star NHLer in his day to day, the connections that NHLer had to high end coaches... I like Iginlas chances of being a great player.Tij has that Tkachuk brothers vibes to me. No one saw them as elite players, yet they’re both 1st liners now
I don’t want to pick a D in the first place but at 5 it’s hard to look past him. His size and the experience he’s picking up at 17 in the KHL make him such an interesting prospect. If he’s good in interviews and seems bright and passionate — then the sky is the limit.
I see it this way: Russian Hockey was no longer discriminated against, he would be hyped like Hedman.
Slaf also dominated against men internationally
Connelly is a play killer. I see nothing special about him, plays always end with him. Has zero hockey sense, holds on the puck way too long, tries the highest risk plays that never pans out, loses the puck more often than not, this kid's play isn't worthy of a 1st round pick.
Oh yeah, Dickinson worth top 5 pick all day long. He's kind of player who are backbone of Stanley Cup teams. Big mobile offensive defensemen who can move the puck and log a lot of minutes. Chance he goes before 5 though.Is the difference between Guhle and Dickinson so vast that it’s worth a 5th overall pick? Isn’t it more prudent to use a 5th overall pick on a player type we don’t have? Or one that we sorely lack? Because two-way physical defencemen isn’t really something the Habs need. Offence is a need. Forwards are a need.
It's still not enough. We have to make that defence corps impregnable.They might as well be traded to shore up the defence even more. We could maybe target Makar for our 3rd pairing. Maybe grab Hedman for the pressbox
Sure, on a team that doesn’t already have his carbon copy and like 3 other NHL-level LD. I don’t think we can justify picking him with a 5th overall pick with other glaring holes.Oh yeah, Dickinson worth top 5 pick all day long. He's kind of player who are backbone of Stanley Cup teams. Big mobile offensive defensemen who can move the puck and log a lot of minutes. Chance he goes before 5 though.
Yeah, but imagine how dominate a player with that skill and that toughness could run over the league at this stage. It's why Lindstrom is so highly thought of.His dad was drafted outside the top ten

Cole Eiserman is not a fan of where you ranked Cole Eiserman.Dobbers crew has 3 F top 3 and then Parekh as the top D

I've seen this fallacy on this thread a few times and I'm not sure where it originated from but Silayev led all Torpedo dmen in hits this year which is amazing for a 17-year old in the KHL. His coach, Igor Larinov, said he was Torpedo's best dman in the playoffs. Wait until he's physically developed!Zadorov actually hits too
We have wasted the last 3 decades with great goalies and above average D but with a forward group that couldn't put the puck in the ocean outside a few outliers and people think we need D?I've seen this fallacy on this thread a few times and I'm not sure where it originated from but Silayev led all Torpedo dmen in hits this year which is amazing for a 17-year old in the KHL.

This playoffs thing needs to f***ign die already man. Good players are good players, there's no "playoffs" archetype.

If Trevor Connelly is available at 26, could they pull the trigger?
I would.

Really going out on a limb on that one…Bold take: Trevor Connelly is the Josh Ho Sang of this draft
Danault has like 2 points in 50 playoffs games.Disagree. Lafeniere is the archetype "plays better under pressure" - he was like that at 15 years old, he's still like that. Danault etc.
I’d still love to draft Cole Eiserman. I think he’s worth the risk.Cole Eiserman is not a fan of where you ranked Cole Eiserman.

It goes to show you that as much as draft results on the whole are pretty linear in terms of success rate, hindsight is still 20/20.Yeah, but imagine how dominate a player with that skill and that toughness could run over the league at this stage. It's why Lindstrom is so highly thought of.
Look at how people thought Tampa was tough and how people think Florida is tough. Neither team is tough they just attack in a group of 5 so no one is singled out. If you have a team that can do thar and actually beat the f*** out of people, teams aren't going to engage and let you push them around.
Especially a D whose offensive upside is questionable. I understand if they went Parekh but Silayev makes no senseWe have wasted the last 3 decades with great goalies and above average D but with a forward group that couldn't put the puck in the ocean outside a few outliers and people think we need D?
