Prospect Info: Draft 2025 Habs you're on the clock

Bear & Lakovic at 16 and 17.

I like the result for us in this draft, but chances of that happening are something like <1%.

That mock draft had a lot of weird takes too; Nesbitt in the top-15, Hagens getting by 3 teams that need offensive centers, Murtagh too low at #46, Nobert and Ekberg way too low (#141 and #133 on their mock draft), and last but not least Kindel making it to #39 on the list (got him at #20 personally).

So yeah, I like what it gave to Montreal overall (save the Klippenstein pick, would have taken Cameron Schmidt in that scenario easily, or Zharovsky, or a couple others), but disagree with a lot of takes there.

I would be happy to be wrong though; a haul of Bear, Lakovic, William Moore, Klippenstein, Barnhill, Magomedsultanov, Chovan, Drott, Katzin, Svrcek, Gelinas, and Karmiris would be a good draft.

The Klippenstein, Magomedsultanov picks would be bad value for the pick considering there would be better players available instead, and I don't like Karmiris much as a prospect but it would still be fine.

Except that the actual draft will vary greatly and will likely see us moving picks for assets, or some picks in later drafts to even-out the value.

They just need for Aitcheson, Jackson Smith, Eklund, Carbonneau or a surprise to be taken in front of the habs or 4 of those for them to be able to get at least one of Bear or Lakovic.

Not both, I agree but getting one of them is realistic still.
 
many today on 690 were saying after 12th pick it is a crap shoot

I bet that is the interest from KH to move up

how much is too much to move up? just the the 1st picks is enough

I honestly don’t really think they have to move up to get at least one of the 2 guys they like most.

You are right if they like Reschny and Kindel like I do.

Obviously I think it is not the case but me I would draft them in a heartbeat..real talent with great IQ and vision.

One of those 2 maybe both will be a really good top 6 player in the NHL and I am sure that some teams will regret to not have ́picked them earlier

Scott Wheeler said on the Basu & Godin podcast that Bear’s interviews at the combine didn’t went that well with teams. He said the teams has difficulties reading him because he’s more of a introvert person and closed up.

We’ll see if his injury and combine interviews could make him drop to us.

Maybe a trade with Washington for 37th overall pick for #49, #79 and #82?

With #37 and #41, we should get two of the following…

Ivan Ryabkin
William Moore
Milton Gastrin
Eric Nilson
Vaclav Nestrasil
Alexander Zharovsky
Daniil Prokhorov

Quality over quantity. The talent drops after 45-50

What's wrong about being an introvert !?
I just hate that modern society assumes by default introvert as a negative personality trait...

If there's anything that will make him drop, it should be his ruptured achilles injury. I read that it still hasn't healed and those kind of injuries are hard to predict how it will turn out. 6 months rehabilitation is like the minimum and we don't know if the strengh and flexibility of his foot will ever comeback.
He wasn't that good of a skater to begin with.

Carter Bear probably drops out of the top 15 imo. I won't be surprised at all. And if I'm the GM, I'm not touching him until top 20 probably and I liked the player before his injury. It's just too risky at 16th and 17th.

The same shit was said about Reinbacher. Could just be Habs's misdirection at this point.

Hockey is still very 'old school' if they are not one of 'the boys' they are then 'weird' and not a 'culture fit'. Considering Hockey Canada's past, I wouldn't want them fitting into that culture.

Give me Hutson, Reinbacher and Bear.

If there was ever a player whose game looks like it will not translate to the pros it would be Carbonneau. He doesn't use his team at all and still fails most of his drives. He's going to have to revamp his whole game because that will not fly against actual defenders. Would not pick him in the first round.

"But he's Quebecois, so he has to be the solution, right?"

Moore and Prokhorov in the second round and I'll be very happy.

It wasn’t coming from the habs or habs medias it’s just Wheeler who was talking about the combine. The habs would probably very happy if he dropped because of his injury and interviews.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong to being reserved but it was Wheelers impression with his connections that his interviews with teams didn’t go as well as say, Lakovic who’s more out there and charismatic.

If we trade both 16th and 17th, we might be able to get 7th overall pick.
I hear Habs interested in Desnoyers Martone Mrtka
