HF Habs: Flames or Panthers 1st Round Pick 2025

[rahad]

Edmonton has passed them. I don't have a lot of confidence in Colorado due to their absolutely horrific goaltending.

Right now, Calgary is really strong at home (.750 winning percentage), and really shitty on the road (.385).

I expect them to eventually fall into .500 territory, as long as they stay there that'll keep them out of top & around 12/13.

If they decide to sell because they don't want to give us that high of a pick, I would go all in on Andersson. And, if they fall to bottom of standings due to that, oh well.

Colorado won't be out of playoff. Not with a semi generational forward and defenseman. They will make it into the playoff.

I hope you are right. The last 3 years, we did not have much luck with our second first round pick. This year will probably be our last year of tanking. Having a top 5 and a 11-15 pick in the first round will be great for us. The dream scenario will be to draft in 2025 like San Jose (#1 and #11 2024 draft)!

What are you talking about. Hage is probably the 3rd best forward in the 2024 draft.

Nope.
Celebrini, Demidov, Sennecke, Ignila, Catton to name a few.

I just checked our extra first round picks and one is one of the best players in the NCAA with a terrible supporting cast and the other was playing PPG hockey in the AHL before his injury.
