[The Great Weal]

If we could somehow trade up for Andrew Basha this will be my favourite draft ever.

Imagine a haul of:

Demidov
Hage
Basha
Koivu

A man can dream.

I like Basha, but I think we would take Chernyshov. Big guy, good skater, and high compete. He'd be a perfect guy next to Beck on the 3rd line.

 

[Lockin17]

I like Basha, but I think we would take Chernyshov. Big guy, good skater, and high compete. He'd be a perfect guy next to Beck on the 3rd line.

Agreed Chernyshov should be a high target.

Trade #70 + Harris to get a high 2nd pick

 

[le_sean]

Always hate not having a 2nd. So many good players left...

They could trade all of their remaining picks for a used toothpick, the draft would still be a win.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

I can’t believe we got Demidov and Hage. I haven’t been this excited for a Habs draft in ages.

Hughes was my choice for GM when the search was ongoing and although I haven’t agreed with some decisions he has made, what a difference between him and MB. So glad he’s ours.

 

[The Great Weal]

They could trade all of their remaining picks for a used toothpick, the draft would still be a win.

Any athletic freaks playing in a high school league that we can snag up?

 

[Wateredgarden]

At this point i only know Poirier and Koivu for the third round.

 

[Vachon23]

I hope we can find a way to get Jacob Battalgia

Nathan Villeneuve would be nice to, a little bit of sandpaper

 

[salbutera]

Acquiring McGroarty + selecting Saku’s kid would be icing on the cake IMO, other than that I could care less what happens with the remaining picks.

 

[Treb]

They could trade all of their remaining picks for a used toothpick, the draft would still be a win.

Sure, but there is a very real possibility we could get a 2007 level (or over) quality draft if we can get in the 2nd.

 

[vokiel]

But people on these boards think that they are floppy seconds.....

Most of them are, but then again, I think we all have a list of prospects we thought would be bound for the first round and slipped. I have:
- Freij
- Chernyshov
- Kiviharju
- Elick
- Miettinen
- Basha
- Ritchie
- Hutson

A big lot because the falloff was early in the draft, which meant big margins of errors on every team's listings.

[Schooner Guy]

I have a good friend who is a die hard Flyers fan and he's absolutely livid at Briere today.

He can't believe they passed up a chance to draft Buium at #12.

Briere was never going to draft Buium. He has the same agent as Cutter Gauthier.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Geezaz. Well that's a massive problem for the Flyers!!

What a shame. I feel so bad for them.

Who the hell is Beck Malenstyn?

 

[Whitesnake]

People talk about 26 and 57....f*** that. Think of Christian Dvorak and 37.....way more infuriating...

Do something Kent..2nd round next year for 2nd round this year.

Yeah it doesn’t look good today. But you never know. Teams do crazy things when they reach for a specific position. Even then, Helenius was available if you wanted a centre.

 

[The Great Weal]

Think of Christian Dvorak and 37

It's been a good start to the weekend so far so I'd rather not ruin it.

 

[SOLR]

A big lot because the falloff was early in the draft, which meant big margins of errors on every team's listings.

Freij, Kivi, Elick, Miettinen, Ritchie were not in the first on most list.

Basha, Hutson, Chernyshov yes.

Wallenius was also often ranked in the 1st.

I'd rather they thin the amount of draft picks this year, to shore up the next one. We have 8 picks to do from 3 to 7. They're just going to be gambles and picks they don't really care about. A waste.

Better: Find a team with almost no picks, Vegas, make them a small pile, get some return from them somehow.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Anybody got a link to watch the second day of the draft?

 

[SOLR]

Let's move some 2025 assets to 2024, then trade Dvorak/Savard/Matheson to refuel 2025.

 

[newdimension]

Still plenty of good talent on the board. Hope they can get in there and find a 2nd rounder somehow, Would love a Basha or Stiga selection.

 

[Treb]

Who the hell is Beck Malenstyn?

26 years old 6'2" left winger (2016, Round 5 #145)
21 points with the Caps last year
Currently RFA

Overpayment from Buffalo IMO.
