It’s not just lazy, it’s uninformed. In what world do Hughes and Gorton seem like the types to acquire players that are difficult to coach?

In fact, it reminds me of being consistently linked to another Blainville player that is talented but doesn’t fit anywhere because he’s moody, PLD.

Since when Carbonneau is hard to coach ?

Since he clearly doesn’t listen to his coaches. He never makes the simple play and he thinks he can deke around everyone and be a one-man show.

Never heard anything about him being a bad player to coach though

I'm very curious to see how will this and next year's Swedish prospects pan out in a few years, as it's really one of the best age classes ever in Swedish hockey despite what seems like a lack of a total gem at the top. I'd definitely want to target a lot of the Swedes after the first round, with Filip Ekberg, Ivar Stenberg and Theodor Hallquisth all being especially interesting and seemingly undervalued to me

Ivar Stenberg is a projected top 3 pick in 2026. I wouldnt be surprised to see him challenge McKenna for 1st OV. He is a better skater than McKenna and a better rounded player at that point. He would be killing it in the CHL as well.

Edit: Here is what I had to say about Stenberg last Hlinka

Ive only catched the final games, but outside of Schaefer, who obviously looks like a top 3 pick, 2 other kids stood out to me. 1st is Radim Mrtka, the huge, mobile CZE defender who moves quite well out there, is physical and has an heavy shot, kind of remindered me of David Jiricek a bit, although a bit more raw at that point than Jiricek was in his draft year. Still, a big tower like this with such skating and defending ability will get the scouts excited, it will be interesting to see if he goes to the CHL team holding his rights, I think its Seattle... I wouldnt be surprised if...

Would be a great pick up in the 5-7th round. Great untapped potential

I, along with many others, didn't expect that Caufield dropped to 15th, nor Hutson dropped to late 2nd round, nor Demidov at 5th.

In the coming draft, who you wish to be dropped to 16th, à la Caufield and Hutson ? Try to be realistic, so no Misha or Hagens.

Which player is worth to exchange our 16th and 17th picks to move up to grab that player, maybe around 10th ? Desnoyers ?

Desnoyers, Frondell, Eklund, Mrtka, Bear, Martin are all players I would look to trade up for.
McQueen, O'brien I am still unsure but I would not mind either. I know my list is long, this is why I would try my best to get a pick at around 11th overall one of them would be available.

Lakovic or Bear seem like possibilities based on different rankings and I think both are top 10 in this class.

I wouldn't package both picks, but I'd trade up with one of them and Kapanen/Mailloux/Roy or others. We have too many holes to fill (and Desnoyers won't be available past 6). I'd trade up 4-6 spots for Bear or Eklund respectively. We need more of what both bring in our top 6.
