Canes GM legit just sorted all players by their NHLe and drafts whoever available is at the top or close to the top.

On brand with Dundon lmao

Save on scouts

 

[le_sean]

The nil in 15 years will be like the NBA ...the majority of players will be 6 ft 6 to 6ft 9 .....they might even add a hoop over top of the goalie net on the
Plexiglass.

Remember when they picked Jason Missiaen when there were rumours of the nets getting bigger?

 

[ReimanSum1908]

Brandon Hagel became a ufa.

Habs invited him to their camp, but didn't sign him obvi

Sure, but the question was about players selected in the 6th/7th round who actually panned out, unless I misunderstood.

The simple answer is: very few.

 

[Gillings]

Did Zetterberg and Humphreys kill someone's cat or something?

No, they stole "Someone's" Classic car and killed the dog.

 

[le_sean]

The amount of unbelievably pedestrian USHS prospects this team has had over the years… one should have been enough

Don’t worry, I also have that PTSD

Petteri Simila the year after I think, too at 6'6

 

[HabsCode]

WSH draft Petr Sikora !!!

 

[Schooner Guy]

Kinda like when I said
Philip kurashev should go top 40 but he went fourth round
Josh Roy should go top 20 but he went 5th round
Dorofeyev should've gone top 20 but he went 4th round
Mattias Macelli should've gone top 30 but he went 5th round

And on and on we go.

You know? It's almost as if sometimes we're not all idiots.

You might find yourself out of a job for picking them all long before you could have got them.

Damn good snipe. I forgot about that guy. Woof

 

[MarkovsKnee]

So he's 4 years away from being 4 years away

Pretty much. Montreal is by and large taking players they don't have to worry about signing right away.

2 BCHL players, and Euros with 4 years of signing time.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Sure, but the question was about players selected in the 6th/7th round who actually panned out, unless I misunderstood.

The simple answer is: very few.

Yeah.

I just want the Habs to draft high value targets so they can trade them when they improve in their junior league.

Taking safe players more and more is just dumb

 

[HabsCode]

can't wait for pick #210

 

[Mrb1p]

You might find yourself out of a job for picking them all long before you could have got them.

And you're not gonna be out of a job waiting for the Connor Crisps, Michael Pezzetta and whoever other dud they pick this year? Come on.

 

[Gravity]

Need some trades Hughes!

 

[Habs13]

Habs just are picking guys that they can hold their rights for years. They can't sign all these dudes.

Its a pretty smart plan, lets be honest. Take high school kids that are long-term projects that could pan out and give us a longer time to find them contract spots. By that time, a lot of our shite contracts will be up, kids will have graduated and these projects that pan out become the restock in the cupboards. Smart.

 

[Mrb1p]

Can we draft Schuchinov at least? He fits the MO.

 

[Draft]

Did Zetterberg and Humphreys kill someone's cat or something?

Really have to wonder about how some of these guys interviewed. I haven’t really heard much in terms of off-ice stuff with any of these fallers and it does seem like size is a big consideration this year, but wow do teams seem comfortable leaving skill on the table.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Depending on what Montreal does, right now teams have improved that were below them, so they're looking like they might finish 4th

 

[Gustave]

What, for next season you mean?

 

[417]

But that's what today is!!!! If we can't do that...why do we have a thread? To just write the names of who are picked....and the only response possible is...let's wait 5 years?

Or...are the only comments possible are positive ones? I know there are rules on HF...but please tell me where this is....

Today is for the Montreal Canadiens to select the players the Montreal Canadiens have put in the work to scout.

Not please every single fan currently posting in this thread.

Yes, when you do the work, and you take the time to watch games, you come away with preferring players over others. No shit. That's the work. So when your favorite do not see the same thing, you are dissapointed. But this...is ONLY TODAY! Then, comes the camps...the years...where you follow the progression....and hope for the best.

What you're describing is entitlement.

And then in 4-5 years when the player didn't go anywhere as you've mentioned....you can say you were right...euh wait...no you can't because you will be told that it's hindsight or that we need to move on....or that this is the nature of the draft, you win some, lose some....

All this on the HOCKEY FUTURE'S BOARD. Just insane.

Exactly lol essentially what is a fantasy world, where opinions have no consequences.

Anyway this year's story is already written. As it's been said every year, if you can get 2 or 3 NHL,ers out of your draft, the draft is a success. Well it's already a success, Demidov and Hage will be NHL'ers. So picking unknown or having no picks at all would have done the same thing I guess.

Glad to see you saved some common sense for the end your post lol

I'd be surprised if they end up bottom 10 if they stay relatively healthy.

 

[Treal]

Any 6'7'' bears remaining we can take a swing on?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

What, for next season you mean?

Yeah.

That's right now.

I imagine in 72 hours from now things will be very interesting

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Great pick from Anaheim, if we're going big would have rather gone with Burnevik
