Arizona wanted him. Hughes had multiple offers to trade down, he knew wouldn't have his guy if he did.

Hughes should have been fired a while ago? Thank God you are just some random board poster and not the owner. No person worth their salt would want to work under such a hot head.
A while ago meaning after the season ended.
And with every passing day, I am proven right. Newhook the other day and now this...

Yes you have been proven right about players who have not played a single game for the Canadiens.

I like the Reinbacher pick for the Habs. In my opinion he's on the level that Nemec and Jiricek were when they were drafted. And I don't think he'll take too long either, he's already close to NHL ready.

Slaf the player who was the consensus #1 pick? So when Hughes goes with the consensus he sucks but when he apparently goes off the board he sucks too. You don't even realize how insane you sound by never being satisfied no matter what management does.
You are the worst type of fan and i am ashamed to have people like you representing the fanbase.
I had a feeling Montreal will take him. Don't hate hate it but underwhelming to pass on Michkov. Wish the took Nemec last year during weak forward year and Michkov this year.
Lol Slaf consensus #1??? In what world??? Wright was the #1 on most lists.
As for the type of fan give me a break. The team is as bad because they take fans like YOU for granted. Will always blindly support the team no matter how incompetent they are.
There needs to be accountability.
Agreed on the 2nd part but Slaf was shockingly consensus #1 just before the draft. He was #1 on Bob’s scout consensus rankings which is the only list that is worth more then a grain of salt.

Wanted Michkov so very disappointed about not getting him but excited to see what we have in Reinbacher...
Also reading some of the posts here is hilarious and shows how ignorant people are. Some people should just stick to watching NHL games rather than overreacting about prospects they just heard about a few days ago.
This is completely wrong and basic knowledge at this point lol...do some research.
Look up Bob Macks final ranking
What about the guy picked literally right after?

Accountability for what? Trading picks for Newhook an NHL player instead of drafting kids that will most likely never make it?
An article actually came out of the probability of getting an impact player with the picks they gave up for Newhook. From 2004 to 2018; 23 of 30 players could never establish themselves in the NHL (77%). Twelve of them played less than 10 games in the NHL (40%) and seven (23%) never played a game at all.
Here is the list of the players that were able to establish themselves: Jacob Markstrom, Justin Faulk, Brandon Carlo, Boone Jenner, Brendan Lemieux, Tyler Pitlick and Klim Kostin. Some good players in there but not a list of superstars.
The issue here is Newhook is not trending in the right direction. The value that was given up was an overpayment.

I feel like this is something you shouldn't say out loud
Yup! He is pretty much admitting he drafted for position and not BPA. No one has a crystal ball, but drafting for position is stupid strategy. I fear that HuGo will be worse the Bergevin when all is said and done.
In recent years the draft has shifted for all teams from being BPA to Best Value available, especially in a cap world. Wingers are traded daily for peanuts while centres and D are worth their weight in gold. I wouldn’t put much stock in the comments

He also said that his scouts told him to draft Reinbacher with the 5th overall and not move the pick when offers came. Scouts are hired to identify talent, not organizational needs.
I mean, Reinbacher would have gone first in any draft over the last ten years right? So he'll be fine.
We are already mad. Our fans are angry at dealing picks but they also do not trust our scouts to draft well.
Actually watching him, the first name that comes to mind is Pietrangelo, I find they have similar styles at draft time anyways
Never said I agree with the pick.
Clearly here Hughes drafted for needs and was aware the Yotes would pick Reinbacher if he didn't at 5, which is always a terrible thing to do.
Hopefully these are not the same scouts that decided to spend high picks on Galchenyuk, KK, and whiff almost every year under Bergevin.
I like Reinvecher as a prospect. I just think with Michkov right there you have to take Mitchkov.
I am higher on Reinbacher than most but I must admit that Michkov may be something else
