Speculation: Florida's pick - Watch thread - (Upon request, thread title change lol)

[Legend123]

The Canucks game will be a big one. Nucks better do well for once in their lives

A bunch of babies underperforming as a team

 

[26Mats]

Woah... Did Colorado W the Stanley Cup last year?! How?!

They lost many key elements, including Kadri and Burakowski. I didn't like a lot of Sakic's offseason koves.

Imo, he should have traded Samuel Girard and kept more firepower upfront. Ok of you don't want to sign Kadri long term. But you have to find his replacement.

 

[WinterLion]

After Eric Staal and Joel Armia carried the Habs to the finals two years ago, Florida should trade for Armia in the event they do make the playoffs so they can go on a run.

Staal might end up retiring after this year, so it could be the NHL version of The Last Dance with Armia/Staal being the MJ/Pippen.

I'm sure Zito will give us his unprotected first in 2033 for Armia...

Not just that, lots of injury this year (Rantanen, MacKinnon, Nichushkin, Byram, Manson, etc. They dressed 35 players this year lol

And I think their off-season moves were on MacFarland, not Sakic.

I think they were banking on Newhook to also take a step forward, however that hasn't happened.

Very unlikely Florida's pick will stay within the lottery candidates.

Welp... they going to have to get into wildcard first.

I expect Colorado and Carolina to be active looking for a center before the playoffs.

Not a whole lot out there in terms of centers though. Hopefully monahan can come back soon and stay healthy enough to maybe entice one of these teams. It's gotta be scary though for outsiders looking at monahan and seeing he still can't stay healthy.

 

[Runner77]

change the title of this f***ing jinx thread before it's too late!

Please, change the title don't be a douche and jinx Montreal I agree.

If anyone guarantees that the Habs will draft a particular player, or finish in a particular drafting spot or if they post a thread title that emits too favorable a take on a future uncertain event that is out of the the hands of the Habs, then this newly created unit will be sent to their house and confiscate the devices used to spew such jinx material.

I think that most recogonize though that a Hip and foot aren't attached, a broken foot can happen to anyone it's just a bad puck. A bad hip not flaring up is a positive

I would not be surprised that if Monahan is traded for a good return it will probably be conditional to him playing a fixed amount of games anyway. Like playing half the games in playoffs or something like that.

His name is Sean Monahan and he's available for a 2023 1st round

On the flipside, being injury prone doesn't have to be attributed to one part of the body solely.

He's missed extensive time for wrist and hip problems, and now has a foot problem that has had him miss several weeks already.

Some players just can't stay durable, and if you can't exhibit durability, then getting him for the playoffs, where durability is just as important as your talent is very risky.

Florida was leading 3-1 at some point, the goal was declined, they couldn't score on an almost 2 min. 5-on-3, ended up losing 4-2 in regulation against Vegas

The goal that was disallowed (offside) was still sick though:

 

[Lazytrout]

Thanks Florida for pulling through at the end and saving the night.

Hopefully that huge choke is a real back breaker.

It would have to be games he is healthy, not games he is playing, because a healthy scratch could screw up the return.

 

[Habs13]

Wasn't aware they had blown the lead... saw 4-2 and thought Florida had won

 

[NewEraGM]

This Florida disaster is starting get into mainstream sports media and radio shows so it keeps popping up more and more !! Not just us talking about it anymore! Pretty much everyone in media has said Florida is toast!!

What a disaster! Chiarot for Bedard is automatically worst trade in history.
