I still don't get the point of that trade by the Oilers. Handcuffed their next 2 1sts at this deadline which further hurts McDrai's chance at a cup.

I feel bad for them and would give them one of our 2025 1sts

For Holloway

 

[Hannibal]

Yeah I know I was just kidding lol



I think the McGroarty trade talks are done now. I think we could have done something with #21+. Now I don't think the Habs have anything the Jets want that we'd be willing to part with.

I think we have a lot of what Winnipeg is looking for. Dman.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Slightly disappointed we didn’t make a trade for a young forward to add to our core, someone like McGroarty.

Logan Mailloux

 

[Trabdy2]

I'd like to see us get some grit up front with at least one of our 3rds.

 

[NotProkofievian]

We don't pick again until the 3rd, so just swing for the fences the rest of the draft, they're likely busts or marginal players anyways.

 

[GrandmaCookie]

Woke up this morning, got yourself a Demidov

 

[WeThreeKings]

Lets see what they can get done today but it would be nice to see one of LDs like Harris or Struble or maybe even Kovacevic on the right side go for a 2nd here and maybe package some picks with a third to move in again.

Stiga would be a dream or Chernyshov. Artamonov is still there. Basha.

We need to get Battaglia and Villeneuve.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I can't remember the board being so happy since we drafted Galchenyuk!!!

PTSD.

 

[MrNasty]

Would not be shocked if we added another goalie in the 3rd round like last year. Yegorov has the personality to play in Montreal.
Also some grit please.

 

[SwiftyHab]

There's one thing left to do

Get Aatos Koivu

Literally the only person I want them to draft now

 

[Treb]

Zarubin in the 4th for me.

Get some more skill in the 3rd.

I get wet dreams thinking about these two on the ice together shaking and baking

 

[Andy]

Really thought the habs would have made a trade for a roster player. We have too many dmen

 

[BergevinBurner]

I'm pretty confident that trade is still coming. The logjam on the left side was already bad, but with Hutson likely leap frogging Xhekaj, Harris and Struble, you'd have to imagine a trade is inevitable.

Or Mcgroarty - ie. I think we have enough prospects let's add someone that can play this year.

I would also look positively on moving 2025 draft assets to 2024, even if 2025 looks good. We shouldn't care too much about quantity right now, we need quality.

 

[WeThreeKings]

My top 5 remaining into day 2:

Teddy Stiga
Andrew Basha
Nikita Artamonov
Igor Chernyshov
Ryder Ritchie

 

[Picaroon]

Quite a few teams with playoff aspirations who have multiple 2nd rounders today. Carolina (3), Pittsburgh, Buffalo, NYI to name a few. Good opportunity to clean up the Habs defensive logjam imo.

 

[Naslund]

Recap:

Sorry for all the anxiety and worry about Buium - in the end, it looks like my evaluation of the player might have been shared enough to see him fall as much as he did.

Sennecke went at 3 - not so much of a reach at 5?

Iginla went higher than I thought, though, so don't think the evaluation was that far off for the team to look at those two guys if things had gone differently.

Anaheim reached a bit for size and a RH shot (their young offensive core of Mac, Zegras and Carlson are all left handed). Still, I agree that he was better ranked that what I thought. Still happy we did not take him. Iginla was my guy in this draft. Time will tell now on which one of these young forwards is the best of his class.

Clean up the logjam not for another picks lol! Do a hockey trade.

 

[badfish]

I don't know many players outside of the first round, but I am hoping the habs draft Villeneuve today. Skill with a real mean streak. I would think he gets picked end of second round so habs likely not in range but maybe there's an outside chance he drops to the third.

 

[Trabdy2]

Weird trade by Edmonton at the end. Their scouts must reallllly like O 'Reilly to have done that, or think he can make an impact fairly quickly with them.

 

[JustAHabFan]

Thank God the jackets didn't accept that offer, otherwise Demidov would be a hawks right now

This is why we were so lucky to be able to draft Demidov yesterday. Three teams above us + the Blackhawks trade proposal to the Jackets.Demidov is destined to be a Habs.

 

[Zilo44]

Would have been happy to trade 21 with 5 to secure Demidov. Got him + Hage. Crazy night

 

[JustAHabFan]

I wonder if Hage was really their intended target or it was somebody else.

I thought KH confirmed they move up to draft Hage.
