HF Habs: 2025 NHL Draft: Part II

[Riggins]

Didn’t think we had a chance at Desnoyers, but things have changed quickly in the span of a couple of weeks

Working our way into the top 6 picks would be nice to guarantee one of Schaefer, Hagens, Misa, Martone, Frondell or Desnoyers.

is schaeffer injury prone? why did he only play 56 games 2023-2024, and 25 of 39 in 2022-23

 

[badfish]

If I had to pick a player who surprised top-3 like Sennecke I think it would be Desnoyers. Does anyone else think somebody different?

 

[Nevins]

I just hope we can get one of O’Brien, Bear.

The 2 guys I’d be most excited. Lakovic, too.

And Carbonneau

I wonder if the Habs finally select him.

He's up to 6'1 now according to EP

Maybe in the third/ fourth round.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

5OA for 3rd year in a row looking very likely

 

[Nevins]

What are people looking at for the 2nd round picks? I just don't see a lot of talent pass 20 this year. Might be a good year to package some picks to move up a couple spots. I think if Calgary ends up 16th, and a 2nd rounder takes us to 12, I would do it. I think the possibility of ending up with McQueen, Desyoners, Eklund or Frondell (IMO, one of these 4 might fall a bit) would be a fantastic pick up.

I'm just unimpressed with this draft. Maybe I just haven't been watching enough jr. hockey or the players have become so bland, but outside the top 20 guys I just don't see a lot of NHL talent.

Not in Order:Genborg,Horcoff,Vansaghi,Brzustewitz,Amico,Zonnon,Czata

[Playmaker09]

I’d happily draft Carter Bear if we stay where we are right now in the rankings

If we're unable to drop low enough to grab one of the top 5 Cs, I'd have no issues with Bear + Spence and converting Demidov to C.

I don't think much difference between Desnoyers or Bear or O'Brien actually. Each future #2 center. Desnoyers probably gets the edge where he is from here. Any of the above plus take Martin with Flames pick solves our center woes for a decade

Definitely a concern to me. Schafer the best player but I may take Misa. We full on left D and first line centers are hard to find. Might not get another chance at one

 

[WeThreeKings]

I would expect that outside of being able to pick a talent like Misa/Hagens.. the defining characteristics of this draft class is gonna be snarl and compete.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I would expect that outside of being able to pick a talent like Misa/Hagens.. the defining characteristics of this draft class is gonna be snarl and compete.

That fits nicely with what the team could use up front, especially if they can land a 2nd liner with those attributes

 

[Habs Icing]

And Carbonneau

So that's 4 players.

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

I would expect that outside of being able to pick a talent like Misa/Hagens.. the defining characteristics of this draft class is gonna be snarl and compete.

And that would be good, adding a missing ingredient towards building roster balance.

You can’t do that by inserting a goon, it has to dot the lineup.

 

[covfefe]

Still really like Brzustewicz out of London. Smart & tough with sneaky offense is a good combo. He can play up and down the lineup and suspect he's about to move up given what just happened w/ Cam Allen. Reminds me of Weegar.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Still really like Brzustewicz out of London. Smart & tough with sneaky offense is a good combo. He can play up and down the lineup and suspect he's about to move up given what just happened w/ Cam Allen. Reminds me of Weegar.

He's really taken charge when Sam Dickinson hasn't been in the lineup and he had to play big minutes, he definitely has a bit of an added dimension to his game. He's more toolsy than his brother too and a lot better overall skater, so he's easier to project than him IMO. I like him in the late first/very early second.

 

[Deebs]

I would expect that outside of being able to pick a talent like Misa/Hagens.. the defining characteristics of this draft class is gonna be snarl and compete.

I would love for us to find a way to get Misa in a Habs jersey.

Win 2nd OA.. that's pretty much it.

Imagine Caufield,Misa,Demidov…

Bear is LW ,not a center.

 

[loadie]

If we could come out of this draft with Desyoners and Bear, I would be very happy

 

[HuGort]

Bear is LW ,not a center.

He's listed a center/winger. But they say he hasn't played center for the Tips yet. Most likely be an NHL winger. Definitely drops his value. Some top posters don't like Desnoyers. O'Brien seems to be poking ahead of the second tier. Eklund and him, both gaining momentum.
