HF Habs: 2025 NHL Draft: Part II

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

If we assume Malcolm Spence hits... wouldn't you love to see him out there crushing people and scoring goals ?

I have Spence with our pick. If we get a center with Flames pick

Still not convinced by him. Not a playstyle comparison but to me he’s like Kris Russell. Russell was a fantastic WHL defenceman for Medicine Hat. You’d swear he was a budding star the way he influenced both sides of the ice. But he didn’t have any outstanding trait that could turn him into a star in the NHL. Still a solid player with a solid career, but limited upside. I’m not sure what Aitcheson offers at the next level other than physicality.

I like the player, I think he could be an NHLer, but I feel his true upside is limited.

He did improve a whole lot from last season, he added a new offensive dimension he never had at any level before. So the gamble with him would be that the development curve can still go way up for a few years. Injuries would be the fear IMO, he's not a giant and he could very well break down playing the style he does, a la Dalton Thrower. He fights a lot.

If we don't trade our 2 picks for an actual 2C and can't trade up in the top 8, I want grit and size with the 2 picks.

Yeah Thrower is a good comparison. He’s a gamer, there’s no doubt about that. If he keeps improving, you have captain material.

[HuGo Burner Acc]

I would like to see the picks they keep go towards drafting safe third liners that have decent size and play a good two way game. Don't try for the homeruns

Big game big goal

I have PTSD with Dalton Thrower. I will personally not want us to waste a valuable pick on Aitcheson. Pass for me.

Everytime someone dislike my Kash pick he scores another goal. Keep it coming fellas!

Colts W game 7 & advance.

 

[Jabba11]

Remembering we got Guhle and Caufield around 16, plus Hage 21, really looking forward to seeing what HuGo can do with our two 1sts.

I hope he can trade them both for a young 2C

 

[montreal]

Eklund Assist 0:05
Frondell Assist/Eklund Assist 0:27

Eklund had 2 assists, +1, 13:58 TOI. He's now got 2 goals, 7 pts in 15 playoff games.

Frondell had 1 assist, 1:58 TOI (they moved him to spare forward now) he has 3 goals, 7 points in 15 games, that breaks the record for most U-18 pts in Allsvenskan playoff, Eklund had the record last year with 6 (he's 7 months older)

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

Misa missing the U18 because of back injury will this affect his draft status?

Doubt it, one of the few with a really high celling offensively.

 

[Playmaker09]

Where are the U18 games being streamed? I can't find them anywhere

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

Cole Reschny has 74 points in his last 37 games. If you include his 25 points through 10 playoff games. Looking pretty good for the Habs at 16.

[WinterLion]

I would love that pick! I think there is still room for improvement with him...

(trollstomper can suck it)

He'd be great with one of our picks, might be a bit early for him but would be a great fit for us
