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

[SannywithoutCompy]

Only suspense is if Michkov or Wolfe will be the third included.

Yep. About 50/50 between them, but Hutson will win (obviously)

 

[Nicko999]

They may trade one, but I don't see Hughes trading his two firsts.

If we're gonna do trades I rather use the 2 1st to move up and pick a player you really like. We do need top 6 prospects.

Considering the previous 2 times we traded 1st rounders, Hughes got Dach and Newhook, I am absolutely against trading the picks.

 

[LaP]

Doesn't mean because you pick first, you will get the best player, look at Hutson.

Let's say with cancer A you have 5% chances of dying and with cancer B you have 25% chances of dying. Yeah you could argue that you can have cancer A and die and someone else will have cancer B and survive. Given the choice i would still go with cancer A over cancer B. Anecdotes are just that anecdotes. It's a nice story but you are still better with the 1st overall pick over any other picks no matter what silly argument people can make.

We're not drafting this year

agreed, both 1st are getting moved

 

[HabsForHire]

but we already know the winner, who cares about the finalists

 

[Habs13]

If the Calgary pick wins, can they keep it... or does it stay ours?

 

[Nicko999]

agreed, both 1st are getting moved

We are in no position to sacrifice future for present yet. That happens when the team is ready to contend but we're not there still.

They may trade one, but I don't see Hughes trading his two firsts.

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.

disagree but it's ok

 

[OnTheRun]

No nomination for Michkov, Wolf got it.

 

[McGees]

Can’t stand Sam Cosentino - I’d swear he’s a used car salesman.

 

[sampollock]

No nomination for Michkov, Wolf got it.

But Lane wins it

 

[Draft]

Michkov not a Calder finalist? The HF hypetrain gets derailed.

 

[Gustave]

Hagens top 3? Oufff what a mediocre top group.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

If the Calgary pick wins, can they keep it... or does it stay ours?

They keep it and we get Florida's.

 

[Schooner Goon]

This draft lottery show is shit quality television. Sam Cosentino doesn't have a TV face or even a radio voice. He surpassed his calling which should have been a host on a local Channel 10.

 

[dinodebino]

This is a dud of a year.

 

[Habs13]

They keep it and we get Florida's.

Yuck!

 

[sampollock]

Boring

 

[CHfan1]

If the Calgary pick wins, can they keep it... or does it stay ours?

Calgary keeps it in that case, Montreal gets Florida’s pick then.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Can’t stand Sam Cosentino - I’d swear he’s a used car salesman.

He just decided one day he was going to become a draft expert. He used to call baseball games for the Jays and Expos.

 

[OnTheRun]

Hagens top 3? Oufff what a mediocre top group.

5th, but that kind of always depend on who you ask.

 

[McGees]

Rigged for blackhawks.

 

[Schooner Goon]

Can’t stand Sam Cosentino - I’d swear he’s a used car salesman.

I was thinking vaccuum cleaner or furniture salesman but I'm with you.

 

[McGees]

Go Preds and Kraken!
