[xX SEYF Xx]

98,9% chance picks are 16 and 17
bet we wont be drafting twice in 1st round

 

[Nicko999]

With Hughes' history of trading 1st pick. I rather draft with these thank you very much.

 

[vokiel]

Hensler, Lakovic, Carbonneau, Aitcheson

 

[DemidovSZN]

One of Bear, Spence, Martin, Nesbitt or Lakovic.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Trade both for immediate help, of course packaging other prospects or picks...

a #2 center
a top 4 D

Everyone is like WE MUST TRADE EVERYONE

But personally i think we must be very cautious.

COuple of years ago NYI were in a very good spot. They had 22 years old Barzal, 27 years old Nelson, 29 years old Lee, 29 years old Bailey, 22 years old Beauvillier, 25 years old Devan Toews, 28 years old Leddy, 25 years old Pelech, 24 years old Pulock, 19 years old Dobson, 24 years old Sorokin.

They got to the semis in 20 and semis again in 21. With Dobson, Sorokin, Barzal and good vets future looked bright. Then they decided to trade EVERYONE. Traded a 13th overall (Nazar) for Romanov. TRaded a 1st and Raty for Horvat. TRaded a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Pageau, Traded two 2nd and a 3rd to dump Andrew Ladd's contract, Traded a 3rd for Engvail.

The end result? They have to rebuilt again 5 years later. KH must be very cautious. Don't trade everyone and make sure they players you acquire have at least 4-5 more years of prime left or are very cheap.

First and foremost they are both on the table for a significant upgrade at either 2C and/or RD.

If we keep them, I am hoping for one of.....

Brady Martin or Malcolm Spence

and

Logan Hensler or Radim Mrtka

Ultimately whatever they decide we will get an amazing Youtube behind the scenes of the 2025 draft video, and I will immediately jump on the bandwagon about how we got a steal.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Ask me when we are on the clock.

 

[Kennerback]

Mrtka @ 16.

 

[le_sean]

Malcolm Spence please. Not at all a reactionary pick, it’s been clear for a while he’s exactly what the team needs in the Top 6.

I feel this is what could really happen

why you have no favorites?

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Gary Bettman: "The Montreal Canadiens trade Mike Matheson, [insert B prospect], and the no.16 and no.17 picks in this year's draft for [insert 2C acquisition]"

 

[Gustave]

By the look of our roster in these playoffs, a player like Bear is borderline a must.

 

[De Montreal]

I dont know enough about the prospects but the Habs need a top pairing dman more than anything, no matter LHD or RHD

 

[Team_Spirit]

Would you be fine with this?

Who is most likely to *fall* to 16 and who would you pick earlier among the guys ranked 18-25?

I hope not.
That would be a huuuge overpayment. Matheson is still very useful to the team and... two picks????

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Matheson is the contract dump. And the two picks are in a garbage draft at a spot where all first two tiers of players will probably all be gone

But he's not.. the level of athletic ability has allowed the NHL to gave an abundance of bottom 6 firwards to play the game a certain way. If they have any IQ they will succeed.

Bottom 6 needs to be athletic skaters with all out heart.. very specific KPIs

Dude, Matheson is not a contract dump, he has 1 year left on his deal at 4.875. The problem is that he is not a top 2 defenseman playing in that role currently with us. Have him play minutes of a #4-5 and see how valuable he would become. That's why I think a top 3 defenseman is a must going forward along with a #2 center

Would like Spence but would probably take Hensler over Aitcheson there

 

[Nicko999]

I would package picks 16 and 17 for a pick around the 10th spot and try grabbing Carter Bear or whoever you are targeting.

 

[Runner77]

Matheson is the contract dump. And the two picks are in a garbage draft at a spot where all first two tiers of players will probably all be gone

In that case, would it be worth packaging the picks to move up to 9-10th? That could probably be considered in-draft, depending on who slips.

 

[Kennerback]

They need to get a #2C or big RH D in the 1st round.
