HF Habs: Draft Lottery tonight!! 7 p.m. ET. (MTL with #16 and #17!!)

[The Great Weal]

They’re taking hagens 10000%

Isn't Barzal basically what you hope Hagens becomes? I think they are going with Misa. Their LHD is also pretty poor with Romanov/Pelech but they have no centers after Horvat and Barzal is a winger now.

 

[ZUKI]

With some of my friends who don’t watch hockey (we’re watching the Knicks vs Celtics) and I convinced them to tune into the lottery.

WTF was that

I'm so ashamed

You should, i agree

 

[Svart]

For reference, here's what we've gotten with the 16th and 17th in our history going back to 1970:


16th
Guhle
Marcel Hossa
Eric Chouinard
Tom Chorske

17th
Beaulieu
Brent Bilodeau
Andrew Cassels
Alfie Turcotte
Dave Hunter
Glenn Goldup

Alfie and his son at the draft

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Do NYI pick local boy Hagens?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Great results for the habs
We keep 16th, and only 1 team picking in the top 5 are from the East

 

[TeacherMan]

Are they trying to make this as awkward as possible?

It's like a dog walking on its hind legs

Now that's a draft pick.

 

[Habs13]

I think a few teams will tear it down for a chance at McKenna.

Depends if they hire bozo to be their general manager. If so, maybe we all get bargains!

 

[Goldenhands]

They won't get Misa at #4.

My guess is Frondell, that would be huge for them.

Hagens is a New York kid... might play into it

 

[Treb]

Not sure what makes you think that, he traded a 1st+2nd twice to acquire 2 projects.

Crosby will cost a bit more than a Dach or Newhook. Then you have to account Letang who might come as a package deal.

So what you're saying is that he traded a first and kept the other one, just like I said?

Too bad he never dug for the puck like that!

 

[Goldenhands]

My guess is NYI will draft one of Hagens or Misa, doubt they draft Schaefer as an organisation who has been short in talended fowards for many many yrs.

NYI: Hagens
SJ: Schaefer
CHI: Martone
Utah: Frondell
NAS: Misa

 

[Habs7631]

If Islanders know what’s best for them, they’ll take Schaefer this year and blow it up so they can stack the lottery balls for McKenna and DuPont.

That is the definition of a draft pick.

 

[Rozz]

I know they need to tighten up the formula, but I actually appreciated seeing the draw. the people who claim fixed, are just always going to claim that... as proved already lol... but I always felt it should be televised for transparency sake.. and I feel they did a great job finally doing that... now they need to work on presentation and production quality.

super stoked we have 16 & 17 now locked in!!!

so who we looking at for 16 & 17?

 

[The Great Weal]

Hagens is a New York kid... might play into it

If he didn't look like a Barzal clone then I'd agree

NYI: Hagens
SJ: Schaefer
CHI: Martone
Utah: Frondell

Chicago is taking Misa in that scenario I would think.

HuGo Press Conference ️

NHL Lottery (16th and 17th) ️

Leafs loss vs Flames ️

 

[CharleyHorse]

Good, confirmed we pick 16 & 17

Thank God. I’m so fu_kking happy this Zodiac Cipher of a pick condition is finally done with and I can finally stop trying to read the hieroglyphics every time someone explains the trade terms. If Kent Hughes pulls off another deal that has three layers of conditional pick origami, I swear I’m drop-kicking him in the nuts.

 

[ZUKI]

Maybe our friend will be the one to pick the first overall !

 

[Paddy17]

So Habs will get 16 and 17th picks?

The Monahan trade was just fabulous!

 

[The Last Red]

NYI taking Schaefer 99.99%.

 

[Goldenhands]

Chicago is taking Misa in that scenario I would think.

I think they draft Martone since they need to get bigger and find someone to play with Bedard.

 

[Habs7631]

What’s the lowest pick you’d be would willing to trade for #16+#17 + our unprotected 2026 1st?
