Damn San Jose gearing up eh.

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.

I remember in Slaf's draft his betting odds skyrocketed in the hours leading up to the draft, so they likely had some kind of leak there.

But for sure we can't take rumours at face value, not only do GMs have an incentive to hide their pick, they actually have an incentive to publicly leak false info to confuse other teams.

Sharks will come out of the draft with Celebrini and a premium dman.

f*** me.......They gave a second round pick to move up 3 spots? Good deal for the Sabres. Strange that the Sabres made this deal before knowing who was going to be available at 11th,.

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.

It definitely wasn't that way in the 80's at least for management and upwards. Keep in mind just how much the banks have swallowed up here in Canada
Stock Brokerages oh you mean the Banks Insurance Companies Oh you mean the Banks. They were the first to aggressively target earnings per employee as a means of raking in profit. It spread like wildfire from there as you can imagine.

Sharks eyeing Catton/Eiserman/Helenius?

Or one of the premium D’s to fall? Parekh/Yakemchuk?

 

[Canadienna]

Is this a new thing in the NHL? Moving up or down in the leadup to the draft as opposed to during?

Islanders and Blackhawks swapped 18 and 20 a month ago, now Sharks and Sabres swap 14th and 11th.

Don't these teams (both sides) want to see who drops and what happens in the draft before moving around?

 

[NotProkofievian]

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



Don't just check in, you need to post. We need all our best posters to bring this mother f***er down tomorrow

It's going to be a Grand Cru classé fueled shitposting maelstrom.

 

[The Great Weal]

Wonder how this will affect the Necas to Sabres rumor.

They must just have a clear Top 11-12 in their minds and don’t care who is there.

Very strange. 11th was a good spot.

 

[Redux91]

Just.. Can't wait for this to be over finally lol.. see who we ultimately get, and get some closure!
...oh wait... the POST draft amateur analysis threads... sigh lol
When's training camp

 

[Habs Halifax]

Wonder how this will affect the Necas to Sabres rumor.

I think the biggest stumbling block with Necas is his next contract. Any team who trades for him, will want a pre agreed contract first.

 

[Jack Skellington]

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.

Ya lol everyone basically leaked Habs were out on Michkov before the draft and then the year before they literally had a last minute meeting with Slaf the morning of the draft. In a way they've been pretty transparent. What would be the point of bluffing Reinbacher? None of those top 4 teams were trading down below us to allow someone to take him from us

Top 15: moving 3 spots returns a solid 2nd rounder.

Top 10: Gotta think moving 4 spots is worth a late first. (9 to 5). I like this if Demidov is gone.

Top 5: also a late first to move 2 spots here (5 to 3). Habs could do this today to secure one of Demi or Lev.

Who knows they may be looking to move the pick again as part of another package.
I'd agree it isn't normal but nothing about this draft is normal either after #1.
I mean think about the number of surprises in a normal year when there is more consensus.

Can't see them drafting two forwards with two top 11 picks when they need a high end dman badly

Is going from Skinner to Necas that big of an upgrade?

 

[GrandmaCookie]

That buffalo san jose pick swaps would have not fly in Montreal if we gave the 11th lmao
