Wasn't there some rumors 2-3 days before the draft that the Habs were leaning towards Slaf? I thought most of us here realised that we might not get Slaf at the draft.

Yeah. A lot of people didn't believe it for some reason though

Yeah, I think people were preparing themselves for that and frankly I don't recall anyone really beating the doors down for Wright in that case.

The two Dmen were high on the list, and I think one of the other forwards too

The Slaf pick confused me so much. They should have done a bunch of press leaks to pump up the pick but it was silence the entire time. I didn't think the management was stupid enough to let it go quiet.

They've since proved otherwise since then.

Kinda bummed about Clarke. Really thought he’d be something,but I guess not…

Some people are really late bloomers. It's rare but it's not impossible.

He doesn't look like he can move or even think at NHL speed right now. You can get away with physically not being super quick if you think the game quick enough, bit he isn't doing that either.

I think it was Gauthier, I don't think it was Cooley because we felt we didn't need another Center.

In the 2022 DDraft GDT again and laughing my ass off at the disarray after the Nemec pick lol. Hindsight is 20/20 but man it's an entertaining read.

I waited Slaf as number one way before the noise. I thought it was more obvious, especially how Wright looked.
I was surprised by Nemec pick even if he was my early desire. I had the only issue with his activity against driving. But he fixed it pretty greatly. Now he is looking like potential top two way defenseman like Seider or Sanderson or Edvinsson. May be not as elusiveness, but quite close. And I like his decision making more than Edvinsson, his iq was high from the beginning. So may be he is a candidate for contend for the best future two way defenseman.

Luke with the freaking elite transition.
He kinda got caught up ice and went a little controller disconnect in his own zone.... nothing egregious... I just didn't like the sequence of events at all.
