This post is in prevention of this evening eventual meltdown.

For example, if Demidov is there at 5 and they dont take him, I may write 2 or 3 posts in capital letters, full of ***, I may even, with few beers in, announce my retirement from being a habs fan, but everybody knows it's just smoke and frustration, just let people express themselves and stop the emotion-shaming

Whether you like the pick or not, we will all align at the end of the day and hope for the best for our new prospect, whoever he is. And just assume they know better than we do, watched more, have more input/data, and more scouting experience than your average HF poster.

Peace out ✌️✌️✌️

I wonder what player they might go for with the 26th pick if they trade it. Necas is probably Buffalo bound and much of the talk aroud Zegras has Anaheim asking for a lot (which could mean they actually want to keep him)

Or they could just try to trade up to #15 and target Eiserman for example

There's no way we pass on Demidov for an LD. It just doesn't make any sense...

I hope Anaheim takes Buium, and Jackets don't trade their pick and draft Lindstrom
That scenario should increase the odds of the habs picking Demidov

Chicago will take Demidov at #2 and people in here will complain as if the Habs passed on the guy...
Then Anaheim will take Buium and the media will be flabbergast because everyone told them he was the Habs choice.
Then Columbus will come and take Sennecke and everyone we go Who?!o_O
Then Habs come and take Lindstrom and the board meltdown...

The owner said a couple years ago when he purchased the team that Carolina will never select a defenseman again in the 1st under his watch.
Lindstrom also possesses the size + physical element w/o compromising pace, Canes sorely lack in their roster construction

Been on the phone with them since 6 am, the counsellor just agreed that if we pass on Demidov I might as well just do it

Caroline trading necas at clb for the 4th would be the perfect scenario as they would target a D. So Lindstrom would be avalaible to us.

Dundon (owner) has a policy that defenseman won't be drafted round 1. So no, they won't.

IF available at #26 do we take Connelly ?

No - the Habs thought of him so little they packed up and left when his group was about to test at the combine.

There is no need to get so worked up about Demidov. He's skilled but he's a total unknown. I have never watched an MHL game and only seen his highlights. He plays weird but it works for him. It's a total mystery if he will be able to do this on the NHL. Trust the scouts, they seem him play live and they know better than you, me and everyone posting here.

Last guy who could stickhandle like that was Galchenyuk and 95% of the time he would literally deke himself into a corner.
