But can you skate?

 

[Adam Michaels]

But can you skate?

I can skate. I can't stop. So you'll hear a big boom because the only way I can stop is on the boards. I also can't skate backwards.

So in the end, I'm better off staying in Montreal.

 

[HuGort]

So we got this guy late 3rd while Arizona traded up to get Lamoureux 1st round???

Defense men harder to judge

Defense men harder to judge

I think about everyone agreed on the prospects thread that Lamoureux was a big time project and most didnt want him at all. Kid has a superb personality so I dont want to be too hash on him, but has a lanky frame and filling out that frame wont be easy.

Even if he fills it out.. I question massively his puck skills.

Being a stick impacts his coordination, but I saw him display some nice puckhandling at times, he just needs more time and space. He has that type of frame that will be extremmely hard to fulfill.

Not to mention his parents stole the show when he was drafted.

I forget that, what happened?

[DAChampion]

I'm honestly liking our 20233 draft more and more.

It's a little early for that.

Really like the cajones on Engstrom - actually saying the words, "I want to be the best." He seems driven and willing to put in the work - how far it takes him will be an interesting journey for Hab fans

[That Habs Fan]

Is it too late to train some of our LH D prospects to start shooting right?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Is it too late to train some of our LH D prospects to start shooting right?

Yes it's too late. You teach that when they're younger, not when they're 18-21 years old. You can teach them to play on the right side as left handed defensemen. But you can't go to them at this stage and tell them to learn to play the opposite hand.

Much better than yesterday.

Great learning curve.
