[HabsCode]

Jan Golicic

D

SVN

6′6″

188

I have been joking about the size thing but honestly a LOT of big bodies being drafted today, in 2024 6 foot is the new 5'8

 

[Whitesnake]

Seems to be that the develoment camp will be filled with invitations since not a lot of this year's guys should be present...

 

[sheed36]

Just got in to check on the Habs picks today and just saw that Sergachev trade to Utah. Certainly didn't expect to see that today. Also another great pick up for them in Marino as well. Utah getting things done today.

 

[Treb]

Alexis Bernier, the one the less talk

And he's already gone to Seattle at #73.

Poirier, Boilard, Melovsky and Gagnon should all get drafted or get invites.

 

[Whitesnake]

Alexis Bernier, the one the less talk

He's gone.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Poirier is gonna make a lot of teams look extremely silly

 

[Jack Skellington]

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.

Yeah I don’t really get taking someone at this spot you project to be an AHL roster player or depth player. Those guys are literally free constantly. Why not shoot for someone who has at least shown a sign of high level value at some point, even if it’s unlikely they become something?

 

[MadMslm]

All lot of talented small players still available.

I understand the restraint, you can’t win with too many small players in key roles.

And most of them would require key roles to have an impact if they progress well.

I do like Poirier and Zetterberg, but will they really make it in the end. Could still be good picks over time to help in AHL and who knows where it can lead.

They have an owner committed to building a winner. Watch out for this team, they have alot of good pieces in place.

 

[Vachon23]

And he's already gone to Seattle at #73.

He's gone.

Yes that was the point

He’s the only Baie Comeau player gone

 

[bleuetbio]

Final names:

Aron Kiviharju
Justin Poirier
Hagen Burrows
Luke Misa
Danil Ustinkov

 

[Treb]

Yes that was the point

He’s the only Baie Comeau player gone

And just like that, Boilard to NYR.

 

[Whitesnake]

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)

I don't agree. Mind you....the 1st round will still be the first one. A dream. Insane 1st round.

but if the rest of the picks don't matter....trade them all for better picks next year. If not...you still have to do the job. Not saying they didn't...we don't know that. But the LOOK of it this year, it's underwhelming. Obviously, not having a 2nd rounder makes it so too. But at least...we have Dvorak....

Finally Boilard gone. Ahead of Poirier.

 

[Seb]

Still 5 picks to make lol.

 

[Gravity]

I want Kiviharju at this point. Swing for the fences.

 

[Treb]

Toronto breaking the 19-streak of 6'0+ prospects with Johansson.

 

[vokiel]

Final names:

Aron Kiviharju
Justin Poirier
Hagen Burrows
Luke Misa
Danil Ustinkov

U Stink Ov.. Oh we need that guy..

 

[Vachon23]

And just like that, Boilard to NYR.

Can’t believe he went that far

 

[Treb]

I want Kiviharju at this point. Swing for the fences.

If we swing for the fences, it should be a forward.

And just like that, gone to Minny

 

[le_sean]

Ugh there goes Boilard

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Kivihrju to Minnesota.

 

[newdimension]

Because you know so much about him right.....

Yes? He'd have been a fine pickup in the 6th, if he were still available, as a potential bottom-pairing guy. They essentially left players with more upside on the board, when they could have taken a similar type of player later.

 

[Gravity]

If we swing for the fences, it should be a forward.

He just got picked by Min anyways.

 

[sheed36]

They have an owner committed to building a winner. Watch out for this team, they have alot of good pieces in place.

I saw him for the first time last night when UTAH made their first pick and he kinda reminded me of Bobby Axelrod from the TV show Billions.

 

[HabsCode]

Kiviharju to MIN
