Canadiens Draft Talk: Analyzing Intentions For NHL Teams In Top 5
The 2024 NHL Entry Draft is just a couple of days away, which means the Montreal Canadiens are close to putting their hands on yet another top five prospect. Of course, the position of the aforementioned prospect is up for debate. The Canadiens have made it quite clear they’re intent on drafting...

I was listening to Anthony Di Marco on TSN690 earlier today and he said a GM told him about a month ago to never believe the smoke you hear about the Habs leading up to the draft because they're always gonna do the opposite and called Hughes and Gorton the smokescreen kings of the NHL.
He said at last years draft no one thought the Habs were taking Reinbacher @ 5 and when they did he said he was told by someone that the Coyotes draft table was livid because everyone had the Habs going Leonard.
Also Marco D'Amico was on TSN690 talking the draft today. I didn't hear all of what he had to say yet but I did hear him say that from what he's hearing more and more on the ground he thinks there's more than a 50% chance that Demidov will be there @ 5 for the Habs and that he's either going to the Hawks or Habs. Said he's hearing the Hawks are leaning on taking @ dman which isn't really news since we've been hearing that for a while now but did mention Buium's name.
The Habs and Demidov talk starts just after the 34 minute mark in his segment.

Helenius is great and will make a team very happy, I just don't think he's got the upside to justify a 5th overall selection. Pretty good bet to be a 2nd line center, but we just need to swing a bit higher than that.

I agree...I've been at the same company for almost 17 years now and have been stuck at 4 weeks vacation for 12 years....They just don't give more than that. At least I have 5 personal days on top of that.

i figure most action will take place only during the draft but some tv sports channel gave interesting pre draft show sometime all day longHow much action do people think will be taking place before 7:30 PM?
If I worked night shift I'd use a day otherwise I'd be taking a day off just to twiddle my thumbs here.
I guess trying to keep up with the gossip is a thing.

So in here we were all Reinbacher with an off-chance of Leonard (minus the people wanting Michkov), but it was the opposite for the GMs.
We got better smoke anti-screen I guess...Also, if that's true, that means Buium is not the Habs pick and they might not have Demidov at the top of their list either.
People might want to mentally prepare for Helenius at #5, just in case.
Not sure I really buy this. We didn't know for sure but going into 2022 we were pretty confident it was either Wright or Slafkovsky, and last year there was tons of noise about both Reinbacher and Leonard. I can certainly believe that other teams thought we'd lean Leonard but taking Reinbacher wasn't really much of a surprise.

The salary and other conditions are about as good as can be though.

Say Hello to the contract worker.
Hughes openly said just before the 2022 draft that the candidates were Wright, Slafkovsky and Cooley. In 2023, the smoke about Reinbacher was out there, nobody wanted to listen because of Michkov being available. Stephane Leroux was quite adamant in May 2023 that Michkov was not going to be selected by the Habs.
People in the NHL might not have the same noises that we get. So the Leonard to Habs might have been more concentrated for them than for us, while the Reinbacher one was lesser.

23 years for me and capped out at 4 weeks as well. Only ones I know who get more are the ones who work at Banks, Insurance, Government. The ones with the most money and the most amount of lazy workers. haha. To be clear, not all of them are that way but a fair mount of them.
I got a job offer from the government about 6 years ago and told my employer. They blocked more than 4 weeks but gave me a yearly golf membership and increased my salary. Works for me and I stayed.
