[crosbyshow]

So another Newhook ? No thanks

What...Newhook...are you kidding me..that dude has no Iq.

Did.. you read my post, I wrote no matter the size bring me one with great IQ cause Iq is 10x more important than size.

Newhook has no IQ, no vision and no size

Soo sound like we are going to draft 16 and 17. That's very good. We can put that in a package to up in draft or acquire a 2nd line C.

But if good prospects are available, we can draft. Caufield have been drafted 15, Guhle at 16. We can draft a pretty good player in that spot.

Its a very weak draft tho. At that range we'll probably get players with ceilings of 2nd/3rd liner

And for that same reasoning, I have a hard time seeing teams picking ahead of us willing to move back unless there's assets outside of this draft also included in said package

We said that for 2022 draft and they drafted Lane freaking Hutson at 62.

A player like Kashawn Aitcheson, Malcolm Spencer, Cole Reschny, Braeden Cootes, looks all very intriguing to me. Even Logan Hensler, not bad at all.

We never know in draft, I don't said that's a Lane Hutson in this draft, but 2022 looks no so bad after all.

I remember doing my mock draft back then and having Hutson clearly in the 1st round ( I think I had him late teens/early 20s), so idk haha. I could be mistaken, there are a few guys in this draft who are very raw, but there's usually a reason why there's risk involved with them.

You misunderstand me , I don’t. Like Newhook

I still think getting Logan Hensler should be our priority #1. He is basically a right handed version of Guhle at 16 he would be great value. That being said I think he will be picked before our turn.

I don't think they're very similar.

Guhle kills plays at a very high level but cant handle the puck or make a pass. Hensler is more of a jack-of-all-trades with no real elite quality.

I think Hensler is elite at closing gap, puck retrieving and along the board and underrated physically, he can dish some nice hits. His game is easily transferable to the NHL. My only concern is his offensive upside but as a shutdown/top pair he is perfect for us. I could see him being very good with Lane Hutson. We need that on our team.

Agreed. He’s my top preference at 16, unless Mrtka or Bear are still on the board. Even then, I would still give Hensler serious consideration.

Hensler reminds me of Ryan McDonagh, except he’s a RHD.

Based on where we are drafting....I want the following

One of....
Malcolm Spence or Brady Martin

And one of......
Radim Mrtka or Logan Hensler

Lotto next Monday

 

[McGees]

Lets hope Sharks and Hawks drop...
A Preds win would be good.

Lotto next Monday

I hope Seattle and Nashville move up to 1 and 2

That would mean Calgary won the lottery and gets to keep their pick. Montreal would then get Florida’s pick in that scenario.

Chances of that happening are very small, but it would definitely hurt.

On happier notes, I've recently been watching a lot of games of Hensler's from this season (and Cootes and Martin, since I think those would be our picks), and I've found some games in which Hensler looks VERY good despite the scoresheet looking very pedestrian.

From those viewings, I'd say that he was previously #19 on my list but that I'd now be comfortable moving Hensler to #17, bypassing Reid and Carbonneau.

Before watching those extra games I would have considered Hensler a "fine" pick for Montreal, but not been very satisfied overall if things unfolded in that way.

Now though, I'd be happy if we selected Logan Hensler and would definitely "get behind" the pick as soon as it was made.

Draft him and trade him for gomez

[Boyon90]

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's been in a fancy pants private school in upstate NY for the past two seasons. My guess is he's from a fairly well off familly and it's an education thing.

 

[Naslund]

Kindel, Cootes, Martin and Reschny. Rank them and project them for me please. I would be surprised if one of them is not one of our picks.

NHL Draft Lottery: Monday May 5th 2025

 

[Fuonki]

Would love for us to draft Filip Ekberg with the Pittsburgh 2nd. Hopefully he won't go earlier now that he finally gets to showcase his talent at the U18 World Championships

 

[Nevins]

Maybe with one of our second round pick
Eddie Genborg (RW, L, 6’2″, 180, Linkoping HC, 04/20/2007)

Eddie Genborg is a physically dominant power forward who uses his size, strength, and relentless compete level to be a disruptive force who separates his opponent from the puck in all three zones. His game is defined by heavy hitting, strong board play, and effective positioning, particularly around the net and along the walls cycling. While Genborg is a reliable defensive player and excels in creating offensive opportunities through his physical play, his lack of elite speed, limited puck-handling skill, and offensive creativity limits his upside at the National League level. With continued development in his skating and puck skills, Genborg has the potential to carve out a role as a bottom-six power forward or match-up forward at the NHL level.
