IF Levshunov is available at #5

[amnesiac]

Lindstrom has kappo kakko written all over no thanks, ill stick to demigod or Iginla

How?

Examples of Habs drafting for need in the first round :
Galchenyuk, McCarron, Kotkaniemi, Mailloux, Poehling, Tinordi.

Examples of Habs apparently drafting with BPA in mind : Caufield, Guhle, Slaf, Sherbak, Hutson (not 1st round but clear bpa pick), Beaulieu.

Mailloux was BPA by far, what are you talking about?

Galchenyuk was projected as top 4 as well

 

[amnesiac]

At this point who cares , Jesus take the wheel honnestly. After the last 2 draft debacles do we really still have the energy to contest the pick on these boards

Jai confiance en HuGo I guess

Edit: my bad, quoted the wrong post

 

[Habs]

What's wrong with your old mouse and keyboard? Are they sticky to the touch? I wonder how that happened?


He's on glue, just keep scrolling.

go back to bed! The Golden Girl reruns are probably on!

 

[amnesiac]

Lol....you dont take Reinbacher 5th overall with all those forwards available last draft and then the following draft take another D and trade Reinbacher.......thats just silly management.....Bergevin style.

And if Levshinov has the higher ceiling (which he does), and Reinbacher+ can fetch you a more proven young top 6 talent, you wouldn’t do it?

There’s a reason experts say to always take the BPA. Lev could be that franchise Dman that virtually all Cup winners possess.

 

[Miller Time]

I don't like him much I really don't get the hype still.
But it's summer and not much else to do but kick the hornets nest around here

A bit of joker in ya... I can appreciate that lol

 

[OldCraig71]

Can’t wait to make my way to the Utah forum — need to get all my polygamy and sister wives info updated.

He wants us gone because he can't stand the fact that 2 people out of the 20k here actually "try" to like him. He feels smothered.

Thanks for that, I love Blanche.

 

[Darz]

Guhle-Mailloux
Hutson-Reinbacher
Xhekaj-Engstrom/Barron/Struble

would be a great top 6 too.

I'm not sold on Mailloux as a top pairing dman....I do hope he proves me wrong on this.

 

[Habs]

Thanks for that, I love Blanche.

Who Doesn't!!

 

[NORiculous]

Of course you draft him.

Then you start the year, obviously someone gets injured upfront and Habs can’t score goals.

They slip in the standings and get LuCKy!!!

Win the lottery in 2025 and draft Michael Misa, James Hagens or whom ever.

Then, Montembault evolves into peak Price and the Habs win multiple cups in a row!!!

6'3 220 lbs and was 3rd in scoring amongst AHL Dmen as a ROOKIE

what more convincing do you need? I actually think he has more potential than Reinbacher and Guhle

 

[ReHabs]

6'3 220 lbs and just lead the AHL in Dman scoring as a ROOKIE

what more convincing do you need? I actually think he has more potential than Reinbacher and Guhle

I don't watch AHL hockey but isn't the mark against him his defensive zone play and his poor reads?

He's got sky high potential for sure, but it's his defensive game that will ultimately decide how good a player he will be. He's never been very good defensively even at the CHL level, and on the one hand it's expected given how many games he's missed, but on the other hand we see lots of talented kids that just never really get better at that aspect of their game and end up journeyman or playing in Europe.

Here's all my Levshunov vids, if you are really interested in him,

oh well thats news to me... could be

 

[jaffy27]

you take the BPA and in that context, Iginla is not

That’s a very subjective take as nobody knows who the best player will be.

Who the player is now and who they’ll become is two very different things, you can’t just outright say Iginla is not the best choice at 5, especially if you’ve never interviewed, watched extensively or talked with the people in his surroundings or the other players in the draft!

We can all have our favourites and like certain players because of what we see and hope the player to become, we just don’t have all the data needed to have an objective opinion.

 

[Toene]

How?


Mailloux was BPA by far, what are you talking about?

Galchenyuk was projected as top 4 as well

Mailloux had only played a handful of games at the junior level and was pretty flawed as a player. He was generally projected as a 2nd rounder.

all the talk was he wouldve gone sooner, but was passed on for obvious reasons

 

[Surfer72]

Montreal seems potentially very deep in the defense and goalie positions, which takes longer to develop. Management has the assets with the backend depth, plus a number of draft picks to push the team build forward. I hope best player available is selected regardless of position. My impatience requests scoring depth though....

 

[BehindTheTimes]

We will be drafting a forward. Hughes has all but confirmed it.

 

[Habs]

This draft is going to be a real turning point for the team. After blowing last year's draft and not taking Leonard/Michkov (settle down kids, settle down) I'm ok if they draft a D this year and move some players out of here.

They blew last year's draft? Too early to tell don't ya think?

He was top 3 in D scoring, but he lead neither in goals or points.

3rd in points 4th in goals and ~around~ 15th in PPG depending on your GP thresholds.

yes my bad, 3rd behind Capobianco and Hunt
