[Habs13]

Dammit! Habs drafted a D.

 

[MarkJ]

trade our 2 5th and get Poirier dammit!

 

[red devil]

Why is everyone 6'1 ?

Seems like a physical guy, so I'll take it

Eliteprospects.com has him as 6'1" 214 pounds

 

[SOLR]

Protz is to eventually replace Xhekaj who probably has an assets value too tempting not to trade in the short term.

 

[Team_Spirit]

It's a great pick haters gonna hate

Just saw the interview with Lane Hutson is our boy is looking great

 

[chaosrevolver]

Well I did see Boilard and Poirier play multiple times and there is no excuse to draft a 6'1 defenseman with 0 offense above them.

That’s fine but “garbage rando” has nothing to do with the two players you listed above (who have slipped for everyone else too).

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Love this pick. Protz was in my Top-60. He's f***ing mean and I love it.

Does he fight?

 

[Whitesnake]

Thank god for that 1st round...lolllll.

 

[MD thaivuN]

You could get a guy that scored 69 goals or you can get an average sized D with no offense. the choice is obvious

 

[CapSpace]

So Protz could be an other Xhekaj ?

 

[Treb]

We were going "who?" or "too early!" a lot in 2023 too. I'll give the benefits of doubt to this group.

 

[David Suzuki]

surprised smith went that high happy for him

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It should be noted that the Brantford G.M. is the former Montreal scout that recommended Arber Xhekaj.

 

[TT1]

he has good jokes at least

 

[GrandmaCookie]

need some huge C from the CHL, a tall and lanky swedish D and a monster Russian G before the end of the draft. No more sub 6'2 incel please.

 

[CapSpace]

Calgary gonna take Poirier right there.

 

[Michelangelo]

Not sure why everyone is so interested by Poirier tbh

 

[Playmaker09]

If I think of it as we traded our whole draft for Demidov, it's still good.

 

[SOLR]

So Protz could be an other Xhekaj ?

He is, he's mean and not scared of anyone.

 

[sampollock]

Guys
Help?
I am not home
What's KH up to

 

[bleuetbio]

Drafting something different. I dont know the guy that much. Cant comment but we'll need to protect our young people down the way

 

[le_sean]

So Protz could be an other Xhekaj ?

Xhekaj is Xhekaj because he’s 6’4 and has hands like sledgehammers.

 

[Rockomax]

Well I did see Boilard and Poirier play multiple times and there is no excuse to draft a 6'1 defenseman with 0 offense above them.

That doesn't make the kid garbage though

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Eliteprospects.com has him as 6'1" 214 pounds

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Not a fan of this Owen Protz pick.

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