Imagine we move up to 3 and draft Buium.

Hughes might as well say, on live TV, "This one's for you WTK" before announcing the selection.

Says that and then picks Buium

 

[Habano]

Just wondering if any of you recall what the sportsbook odds of us picking Rein last year or Slaf the year before were at a few hours before the draft. It seems like Demidov is a huge favourite to go at #5 (Fan Duel is at -125 and Sportinteraction is at +167). Just curious as to how accurate the bookies were.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

If best case scenario is demidov and worst case scenario is Lindstrom, I'll sleep nicely

 

[Rapala]

I think it is actually TVA sports, no?

I dunno that's why I'm asking I don't want to watch a Leafs centric draft panel.

Worse than they are for Demidov right now...

 

[Prairie Habs]

Trotz is f***ing delusional if he thinks Yaroslav Askarov gets the Preds into the top 5.

Last year wasn't it #5 for askarov + #12 or whatever? They have #22 this year, so I don't see it.

 

[sampollock]

Obviously teams are going to call but man just stick and pick Demidov.

just hope he is there

Or Betteman steps up and says "This ones for you WTK we have a trade to announce"

If HuGo can convert 21 to mid teens, could see Barron / Harris + mid teens pick for Askarov.

He will get dealt this summer IMO

It's TVA sport, you have a pre draft segment at 6pm starting the usual Latendresse, Lapierre, Lalime, Seguin and co. It is not that bad if you don't expect anything of substance and look to just get the ball rolling.

 

[FrankMTL]

Says that and then picks Buium

 

[WeThreeKings]

This could be an all-timer night in a great way or a malding way.

 

[Jaynki]

What are casino odds right now.for the top 5?

 

[Andrei79]

Lindstrom was interviewed by Laraque and he asked him what his feeling was on who was going to pick him and he said CBJ

Yeah, this is what I think as well. My feeling is he's no.2 on MTLs list after Celebrini as well.

 

[EveryDay]

Askarov or McGroarty?

 

[David Suzuki]

Hughes might as well say, on live TV, "This one's for you WTK" before announcing the selection.

“we would like to call up we three kings of hfboards to make our selection”

Both!

I have an unpopular question but I think it's pertinent to ask.
If Demidov is available at 5, it means teams drafting 2-3-4 didn't liked him enough as a player
or
it's the russian factor
or
by ignoring him they were so wrong like when Jarome Iginla was picked 11th, that year Habs picked Terry Ryan at 8th.

Listening to TSN690, McCagg is being more professional but you can still tell he can't really break down players well. Compare him to someone like Brad Allen at Hockeyprospect, night and day.

I agree with his position on Levshunov, but I would have no idea why he should be at 11 listening to him.

Obviously teams are going to call but man just stick and pick Demidov.

I think it’s wise to listen to all offers. I’m not worried. If they pull the trigger it’ll be something worthwhile

 

[Andrei79]

The meltdown if Montreal picks Helenius would be so incredible.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

If HuGo can convert 21 to mid teens, could see Barron / Harris + mid teens pick for Askarov.

With Fowler a couple years away, what’s the rationale for expending such assets for a player who would be a luxury acquistion?

 

[FrankMTL]

Just make sure you're wearing oven mitts when the Habs make their pick....It will help with the ensuing property damage.

I'm either running downtown naked with a Habs flag worn as a cape and a Demidov tattoo on my ass or going for some deep therapy for the next 5 years.
