Confirmed with Link: Habs draft Martin Reway with the 116th overall pick (info in OP)

[Domenic]

5'9.

Also, he sucks.

 

[TennisMenace]

I like the pick, 5'10 is not a concern. Good 1st season in the CHL, what is there not to like?

FYI, NHL.com has him listed as 5'8", 158 pounds

Also, he sucks.

How so? He's a very skilled player, got to see him a couple of times and he always flashed. Obviously very unlikely he makes the NHL but he has good potential.

Elite prospects has him at 5'10 for what it's worth.

Young Subban in Mtl with PK?

No way.

Too much of a side-show media circus.

Glad it didn't happen.

That sentence gave me an instant headache.

Okay, I guess saying a player "sucks" is a great argument.

 

[Gally and Chucky]

Lots of talent. He is a sleeper.

Sometimes you can define a player in 1 word.

 

[RC51]

he is a bobble head

Come on guys give Reway some leeway.

It's not like he was picked 1st round.

We hate this pick but yet most of us have never watched him play.

We'd rather another small, weak dman like Diaz, Weber, Markov and even Gorges so they can be pushed around easily. 3 of the 4 are puck moves. A huge majority of our dman are puck movers. We don't need more puck movers.

He's small, but let's wait and see how the guy develops first.

Nothing seems to appease the people who haven't watched any of these prospects play.

Thanks. I would say your site is better. The guy obviously has grown and your site looks more trustworthy.

I saw him play all last year.
He's very skillful, quite combative and definitely hates to lose.
However, I find that he sometimes dangles a little too much with the puck rather than make the simple play.
He could be among the top Q-league point getters next year on a strong Gatineau Olympiques' team.
Good luck to Martin Reway (pronounced Rivaille).

Timmins say Reway is the home run pick.

Timmins say Reway is the home run pick.

Coming from a guy who saw Claude Giroux more than 40 times and still ignored him, it's not worth much.

Put in your resume. I'm sure they'll hire you to replace him.

My thoughts exactly

Here is a thread from before the draft:

Over a PPG as a rookie and apparently is very skilled. Interesting for sure.

 

[Figaro95*]

You guys are ****ing annoying with the size obsession.

Thank You.

Kid has high level dangling skill:

 

[QuebecPride]

Skilled player, diamond in the rough, but he's playing for arguably the best coach in the 'Q in Groulx.

Best sentence to describe him came from Yanik Jean who coaches the Victoriaville Tigres. He could deke you in a phone booth.

This kid reminds me a bit of Tomas Tatar. VERY raw. He's going to be a good barometer for our development team.

 

[Team_Spirit]

«Avant de se joindre à nous l'an dernier, il n'avait pas été très bien dirigé en tant que joueur de hockey. Il n'avait pas été très bien dirigé dans la vie en général. Il a compris beaucoup de choses», avait confié Groulx au Droit plus tôt cette semaine.

His Q coach says he was not well taught as a hockey player, and in life in general and he made great progress this year.
