What could go down is

Guhle traded for Zegras
Habs pick Buium at 5OA

I'd be happy

You'd be happy to restart the rebuild??

Buium is not playing the NHL in his draft year.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Not sure, but MM is a good point producing dman and they are hard to find. I'd trade for a pick personally

And horrible defensively

 

[SOLR]

No way Montreal moves Ghule. Doesn’t make sense.

I'd move him for 3rd overall and only for 3rd overall.

 

[Andrei79]

Silayev or Helenius, or forfeit the pick.

 

[HabsTown]

It's not even close to enough.

They will laugh at you.

I don’t know. There’s a bit of gamble to next year’s 1st but we’re clearly not a powerhouse (yet!) but if I were them, I’d think about it.

Guhle+ 26 + let’s say 7th next year for #3 is interesting.

 

[Scintillating10]

Columbus wants Philadelphia's 2025 1st round pick, and minimal protection, which means lottery protection only (top 2). I can't see Flyers doing that since they could definitely suck next year. They have no goaltending and a crap defense.

Columbus has no reason to move back without being guaranteed another top pick next year.

Going to take quite a bit to move from 11 to 5. AVs first wouldn't do it. Unless Konency was in it. But doubt Philly would.

I would call Philly offer 5 for 11, Farabee and Flyers first next year top 5 protected.

The doom bus riders are hilarious

GM, don't be a doomer today.

You'd never see me again.

This might be a positive for some people, though, TBF lol

 

[Demigod Gloves]

RIP mods if Demidov is available and we pass on him...

 

[morhilane]

My day is going to be so unproductive. Good thing I'm on PTO.

RIP mods if Demidov is available and we pass on him...

They will be busy in the Ducks and Jackets sub forums for passing on him going by what I'm reading online.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

Just booked my flight to Siargao, then Coron and Palawan by early next week! Philippines is amazing. People are great, food is surprisingly excellent, beautiful place all in all.

Makes me want to go. I lived 5 years in Japan, coinciding with my contributions as JapanMontrealExpat, and have been to China, Taiwan, Singapore and Thailand. Philippines on my bucket list still.

 

[MtlSars]

Mom, can we have a Buium? No we already have a Buium at home...

Points to Lane Hutson

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Drama queens!!!

Call Justin

 

[Jaynki]

I don't think Gorton would let them do that again. He all but said he wanted Michkov last year and that the staff went with the safe pick and has been saying all along that he wants the most elite level player he can get. To do this two years in a row would be shocking IMO.

No he never said that and he also said that Demidov and Michkov were two different cases in his presser yesterday and it hinted at him not wanting Michkov last season.

If it makes you feel better you were very pissed when we took Guhle lmao.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Tier 1 is Celebrini; Tier 2 is...; Tier 3 is...

It seems to me Tier 2 has a handful of names (no more than 3, perhaps) and everyone else is in Tier 3 and below. If any player from Tier 2 drops you have to take him no matter his position. To me that LD Silayev for example (but others will have other names in different tiers). But if you're choosing between players in the same perceived tier, then you have to take into account his position.

I see Tier 2 as Bobby Mac’s top 5
…. Minus, for me, Lindstrom because of the injury.

Then it’s 4 D and 4 forwards who could go anywhere.

 

[Frankenheimer]

I'm not liking this talk of trading Guhle. Very shortsighted. He will be a pillar for the team for many years to come.

 

[WeThreeKings]

If it makes you feel better you were very pissed when we took Guhle lmao.

But I was also pissed when we took Tinordi and Poehling.

I particularly dislike Zegras.

 

[Milhouse40]

I don't really care who they pick honestly, I would prefer Demidov for sure....but I've been more wrong than right in the past few years so I won't get mad if they don't pick my guy

 

[Michoulicious]

What could go down is

Guhle traded for Zegras
Habs pick Buium at 5OA

I'd be happy

That'd be amazing.

I'd be ok also with somehow getting McGroarty. Not sure it'd require Guhle.

What is great with Zegras is his age would fit perfectly with our forward core... Exact same draft year as Caufield, Dach, Newhook, Roy...

 

[Shred]

Grant was on the NHL Network on Sirrius the other day with I believe Steve Kouleas and Grant sounded pretty down. Kouleas was complimenting the Recrutes’ draft guide and Grant said this one is probably the last and how hard it is to put it together and I think he mentioned it wasn’t worth the return financially.

I mean, I get it’s tough but man, Grant just killed the vibes on the show and sounded so depressed. I don’t know Kouleas’ reach for this midday show, but I basically switched channels after that.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think a host and guest should project a little more positive energy, even if they have to fake it, to make for better radio.

I think it’s so important to be honest and always true to how you really feel… Just kidding lol.

 

[Richiebottles]

I think that Buium could be a true #1D for us

+ If we trade Guhle for someone like Zegras or another young C we would be more solid up the middle.

If you look at cup winners in the past they always have an offensive #1, a true #1 D and a #1 G

We don't have anything close to that in our pipeline

 

[Sam de Mtl]

You suffer from Stockholm syndrome. The proof your idea is wrong: Normand Flynn agrees with you.

Where is this originating?

Buium is not playing the NHL in his draft year.

Buium 100% gets a few games at the end of next season to burn his first ELC and steps into the line up full time in 2025-2026.

The kid already won everything there was to win at the college level as a draft eligible freshman, for godsake.

He doesn't have much more to learn.

Makar 2.0 kind of situation.

If by some kind if miracle we made the playoffs he'd step in no problem like Makar did. No AHL for that kid.
