2025 NHL Entry Draft

[habsfan891]

Desnoyer looked good 1 goal 2 assists in on all Moncton goals if I had to find a complaint it would be he didn't use his body as much as I'd like to see a big guy do so.

 

[HuGort]

I think so.

Would you select Trethewey in 2nd round

 

[WeThreeKings]

Would you select Trethewey in 2nd round

I would with the Penguins 2nd unless his play improves during the year.

Guys, we need to do everything in our power to draft Caleb Desnoyers. C’est écrit dans le ciel that he’ll be a superstar in the NHL. Has the personality, the skills and talent, the work ethic, the swag to be the best Québécois after Bergeron.

Caleb No Matter What

Caleb No Matter What

I like his attitude and talent but if the Habs draft him I would be very worried about the surreal expectation from the fanbase to have the next Quebec superstar player.

Not worried for him, he got the personality/character to perform in a market like MTL

 

[Benstheman]

And he would come in with an already stacked top 6, which would ease his transition. You can easily start him at center on the third line to start.

And he won’t have to be the saviour

 

[Hannibal]

Caleb would be awesome.

Like the expectation to hoist the Stanley Cup and give the speech in French at the gathering in Old Montreal or Mont Royal and become the next Patrice Bergeron? Oui

And he won’t have to be the saviour

Doesn’t need to be the savior, but le Sauveur oui

 

[WeThreeKings]

One downside to Desnoyers is he has the same first name as the bust with Chicago Bears.

Hopefully Desnoyers doesn't paint his nails with silly sayings and want part ownership of the Habs.

 

[Hannibal]

Can’t wait to see his playoffs run with Moncton. Desnoyers has the « it » factor in his play that wil’ shine even brighter in playoffs.

Probably gonna see him at the Memorial Cup too

They will have to get through my sags ahaha

 

[Vachon23]

Sags are gonna be dangerous next year

 

[HuGort]

I would with the Penguins 2nd unless his play improves during the year.

With collapse of Barron, Reinbacher major injury and Mailloux a question mark. I'd like to add some right D depth to farm.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Watched the Desnoyers shift by shift. Is this really the guy to break the QMJHL star slump? He's the one?

I dunnoooooo

Star? No, but could replicate what Couturier was in his prime.

 

[HuGort]

Prime Couturier was a star.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Prime Couturier was a star.

Not in the context NP is talking about.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Prime Couturier was a star.

He was never an all-star, which is what I think he's implying. Desnoyers is definitely closer to Couturier than to Mario Lemieux.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Star? No, but could replicate what Couturier was in his prime.

Yeah that seems fair. I think I'm more comfortable with him in that 10ish range, much like couturier.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yeah that's fair. For me it looks like two tiers

Schaefer Hagens Martone Misa tier 1

Frondell McQueen Desnoyers Smith Eklund Spence tier 2

 

[skidcells]

Frondell McQueen Desnoyers Smith Eklund Spence tier 2

Carter Bear for me is in that tier 2.

 

[Anardil]

IDK. Desnoyers gives me Danault vibes. Great all over the ice, but lacking in the finishing department. I've watched him since last Spring's U18s, and I loved all the chances he created, but man, he is as frustrating as hell when he has to finish a play.

IMHO, he will not become the answer to the 30+ year search for that elusive play driving #1 center.
