If Demidov is still on the board, and we move back from 5…it better be for a massive overpay…

Really?!? My memory could be foggy but wasn’t Gorton fighting hard for him?

I remember he asked a question about the team not willing to take the "risk", which I assume meant Michkov. I also find Gorton tends to have a contrarian approach during these meetings to make his team think, but I really don't remember anyone fighting hard for anyone but Reinbacher and that scout for the goalie.

David be like : water is wet

Use where? Did you find a taker for Gallagher and Anderson? Cause with Gallagher, Anderson, Roy, Dvorak and cie i see no place for depth before another 2 years at least.

Maybe you don't remember but this is the NHL lineup the Habs had last year

Moving Anderson to 13th forward would do wonders for this team.

We covered that shit already: water is not wet

Anaheim - Montreal just seem like natural partners considering the Ducks would likely get their player whether at 3 or 5.

I do remember comments about ultra-talented high potential players with more risk. It did sound like they liked the player but were scared of the risk.

And they were pretty much wrong about that said risk but were not here for that.

According to some TVA guy in Vegas, the top 5 will stay intact but Habs might looking to take their 5+21 to move up again

If they move for the 3rd spot, I'm almost certain that it's for Cayden Lindstrom.

wet!!!!!

Imagine we move up to 3 and draft Buium.

It seems clear the sweet spot this draft is having two picks in the 8-12 range than having a top 5 (excluding number 1) and early 20.

In that scenario who are we getting ? Demidov ? I would have a hard time getting the 50/50 toss up of Chicago picking Demidov or not for the assets we'd give.

Much rather sit back relax and pick Iggy/Catton/Lindstrom at 5, or even drop lower.

Unless of course you accept that we call things wet that have the sensation of wetness, regardless of how we interpret that sensation.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

1-Celebrini
2-Levshunov
3-Buium
4-Lidstrom
5-Demidov


That's how it's gonna go down

Marek called that on 32 thoughts podcast earlier.

Calgary has what that would be intriguing enough ?

Texier for a fourth ? Were missing the bus again. He'd be exactly the type of depth we could use.

Not here.

It's difficult to know what they meant by risk without being in those meetings. We only get a snippet of their hours long conversations.

Oh like just playing devil’s advocate. Maybe. Yeah I could be wrong. I thought Hughes was being more level headed contrarian while Gorton seemed to think passing on MM was a real mistake.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Lindstrom actually. Or, to make 100% sure they get either Demidov or Lindstrom.

love trading a goalie for a top pick in 2024

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

f***ing Lebrun stirring the pot. This ain’t his first rodeo

Lmao what are they adding to Askarov to get top 5 he's good but that's just stupid of them

The funny thing for me is Hughes makes his move.
HFHabs are all over it with every possible scenario covered in like 5 minutes and then these guys come back hours later with a same take as if its something new.

 

[MarkJ]

Now I'm scared.
