HF Habs: 2025 NHL Draft: Part II

[Trabdy2]

With how we've been playing lately and the Guhle injury on top of it, I think we'll be sinking into the Top 10 with our pick. Probably 8-10. I think the Calgary pick will be around 16-19.

I need to study up a lot more on the possible picks, and have more inspiration now that we're going to be falling quite a bit here in the standings. First thought is I'd really like to see us draft a center with our own pick: Desnoyers or Bear could/should be available.

I'd really like to see a high-compete type winger with size with that second pick. Malcolm Spence might be a choice there.

If we don't move into the top 5, either through lottery luck or packaging picks, we absolutely need a RD and Centre in that order.

With 8th-10th I'd take a hard look at Mrtka.

If we are 14th-18th with Calgary pick I am targeting Desnoyers (unlikely there), Bear (possibly) or Brady Martin (likely).

I have this strange feeling we are winning one of the lottery spots.

Habs are closer to 8 than they are to 15. They have the 11th pick as of today.

I haven’t been following this years prospects too much because I knew we’d pick in no man’s land…but it looks like we need to aim for this years faller…a Caufield or a Buium.

We're only 5 pts up on 5th place Anaheim. A top 5 pick is still do-able.

Realistically, WC2 in West is already down to Vancouver or Calgary. We obviously want Calgary to miss.

If they do, we need two of Detroit, NYI or Boston to stay better than Calgary pushing Calgary to 14th spot. A top 15 pick. If they get picks 16-18, we can probably use our other picks to move up into 10-12 range.

I'm also no longer against taking a LD, especially with Guhle's gruesome injury. BPA.

I agree. A LD must not be ignored regardless of the organization's perceived depth. Guhle is trending to be this generation's Benny Brunet.
