Other teams have been busy.

So what, do we have to be 'reactive-busy' cause they've been busy ? Hughes made a move yesterday.

The offseason just started.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Yes yes
You and others make it sound SOOOOOO easy and simple lmao

Trade guhle! Trade Hutson! Trade xhekaj!
Trade mailloux!
1st round picks for each! No! Star forward for each! NO! THE WORLDDD

I'll take Demidov thanks.

Yeah me too, but I will also take Dach and Suzuki. Because that's called being a professional and utilizing all of the tools at your disposal and not just 1.

No deals by KH???

Johnny Gaudreau? Mr hockey

That was 2011. If it happens once every 10 years i'd rather take my chances on a guy with physicality and or aggressiveness. Those guys cost always too much to acquire via the UFA market you have to develop them internally.

Josh Anderson did only 12 goals and 22 points in the WHL the year he was drafted (5th round pick). The cost to acquire him was a former 3rd overall pick and the cost to sign him was a terrible 8 years contract, You got to draft guys like that in the later rounds and develop them.

Shaw did only 22 goals and 54 points in the OHL the year he was drafted. The cost to acquire him was two top 45 picks and the cost to sign him i'd rather not talk about.

Now i don't know this Protz guy. But if he's anything like prime Emelin or prime Shaw then it's a good pick. I'll give him the chance to prove me what he can do before calling it a bad pick.

 

[HabsCode]

Tomas Mrsic, now that is a name

mr sick, get it???

 

[Habs 4 Life]

No deals by KH???

He ordered 2 for 1 pizza for the table...

 

[Whitesnake]

Still on my top 100 list:
Zetterberg
Romani
Kiviharju
Rautiainen
Humphreys
Caswell
Roberts
Green
Avramov
Fibigr
Morello
Poirier
Walton
Misa
Mistelbacher
Curran
Boilard
Leenders
Patterson
Mrsic
Hynninen

 

[sansabri]

we should've picked Javon Moore so i could do the Purple Rain joke

 

[Redux91]

Good 1st round but the rest has been pretty bad so far

With all due respect to the rest
We don't really care about the rest right now
Not after a 1st round like THAT
That, was an all timer.

But everything else is just formality picks right now
Management's rebuild plan most likely is not depending on year 3 of the rebuilds 3rd and 4th round draft picks, you know what I mean?

This was always gonna be about the 1st round for this year and now whatever trades/signings may or may not occur (that's more for next summer really)

 

[vokiel]

No deals by KH???

Nah they're sitting still. I think whatever trade plan they had failed to go through. July 1st will look similar.

 

[billy piton]

Marketing pick

yeah, just like florian was picked last year just to please arber

Anderson was a 4th round pick that played in the OHL my guy.

 

[Seb]

Only 7 sub 6 foot kids since the 50th pick.

No matter what she tells you, size DOES matter.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Rest of the picks, just swing for the fences.

Worst case Ontario they suck just like the safer picks the Habs would take.

 

[Jack Skellington]

Is that kivhiharku guy still available? I swear he was in like the top ten before the season.

 

[Treb]

Nice, that was about 13 years ago lmao

Athanasiou did from 2012 (and Anderson almost did with 27).
Arvidsson did from 2014.
Batherson came close with 28 this year (from 2017).


After that, it's a bit early for 2019+.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Is that kivhiharku guy still available? I swear he was in like the top ten before the season.

Kiviharju, yes he is, would be cool to have him along with Koivu. Puck moving defenseman, never have enough

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Is that kivhiharku guy still available? I swear he was in like the top ten before the season.

He's tiny and can't defend. I had him 3rd round at the earliest. Surprised he even went to Vegas.

 

[The Real Timo]

All I know is that we are really going to regret trading that 7th round pick.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Nobody is worth a pick on Baie-Comeau?

 

[vokiel]

All I know is that we are really going to regret trading that 7th round pick.

I regret not bundling the other 2 7th rounders...

 

[LaP]

Anderson was a 4th round pick my guy.

And his offensive stats were nothing to write home about they were pretty bad.

 

[Jack Skellington]

He's tiny and can't defend. I had him 3rd round at the earliest. Surprised he even went to Vegas.

Why was he ranked so high originally? Couple good tournaments against his own age or something?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Next puck, if he's still there.

Draft Kiviharju.

Yeah he's small, but there's a reason he was rated highly. Got hurt and you are more likely to strike gold with him than likely anyone else at this point.

 

[Vachon23]

Nobody is worth a pick on Baie-Comeau?

Alexis Bernier, the one the less talk
