Great inside look video again this year but they just never seem long enough.

 

[Rozz]

omg they finally dropping it tonight?! sick! have something to look forward to after my gig!! wooooooo!!!

 

[HuGo Sham]

two interesting bits for me...
chicago (I guess it was) offering a 2nd and unprotected 1st next year ..for demidov...Lapointe's face when hughes tells him lol.
and they seem to have had a trade in place at 21 if Hage wasn't available.
Mcgroarty?

 

[Natey]

"You know Slafkovsky?" - Habs

"Yeah, yeah. I play against him in the Hlinka Gretzky Cup....... he lose." - Demidov

BAHAHA I'M f***ING DEAD

I do think it was for McGroarty yes

 

[Beaker]

Hughes to Demidov after picking him… “You did a bad interview for everybody, right?”

 

[HuGo Sham]

Man that potential trade with the Hawks for their unprotected 1st next year and a 2nd would have been awful if Demidov wasn't there

agreed. who the f*** does Davidson think he is lol

I presume the Chicago deal was if Demidov wasn't there. If Lapointe wanted Demidov there was no point in him worrying.

 

[Michoulicious]

At 23m49s, if Hage wasn't there, McGroarty was a Hab.

 

[Rapala]

That might be my fav part of the video. I burst out laughing at his answer.

"He Lose" was mine.

 

[Habs10Habs]

"He Lost" was mine.

lol yes, that was awesome too. The more Demidov talked, the more I liked the kid.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Not sure. The initial rumours were Chicago circling back to get demidov at 5 -which the habs would never do..
i also don't think they would've taken that deal even if demidov went in top 4

 

[Habs10Habs]

At 23m49s, if Hage wasn't there, McGroarty was a Hab.

Nothing against McG, but I'm happy with Hage.

 

[Michoulicious]

Yeah, my guess is it was #21 + a 3rd or something.

 

[sheed36]

At 23m49s, if Hage wasn't there, McGroarty was a Hab.

It may have also been a trade down with the Ducks. In the Ducks draft video Madden said that after pick 18 was selected Verbeek called all the teams drafting between 19th-23rd to try and move up from 30th to draft Solberg.

 

[Vachon23]

I think I would prefer McG but I' fine with Hage. We will have the answers in a couple of years

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Not sure. The initial rumours were Chicago circling back to get demidov at 5 -which the habs would never do..
i also don't think they would've taken that deal even if demodov went in top 4

With a Sennecke, Iginla, Catton available I would doubt it too.

 

[Habs10Habs]

I think I would prefer McG but I' fine with Hage. We will have the answers in a couple of years

Both are great players. I think Hage's story would be the clincher for me.

 

[David Suzuki]

Is it just me or that psy doctor is a bit weird?

He's just Irish

Not sure, they traded up for #21. Don't think they wanted to trade down after trading up. They talk about it earlier in the video with Bobrov.

Go to 14:41, it's either Hage or they make a move with the pick.

They would have taken the Kid who went sixth. That was who that second player was.
I don't think they thought either of Lindstrom or Demidov would be there.
That Senneke selection ended up being so huge for us and Utah to be fair.

I don't think they would have done it, but clearly Hughes talks about an unprotected 1st + a 2nd for #5 OA from someone, probably Chicago.

I'd not have done it even if Demidov was gone either. Gimme Iginla, or the faller of that top 4.

 

[sheed36]

Demidov compared his game to being a combo of Kaprizov and Jack Hughes.

Loved this exchange between Gorton and Demidov.

Gorton: We're 5th overall and you're still there. Are we crazy if we don't take you?
Demidov: Yup.
Gorton: We're crazy right?
Demidov: Yup. If you didn't take me.
Gorton: Like a franchise player?
Demidov: Yeah I think yeah.

 

[Natey]

One of the best things I saw is just the respect the Kent Hughes has. After years for Marc Bergevin, who was quite frankly, a jackass... it's refreshing.

He had the courtesy to call that team back and tell them sorry, our guys still here. Love Hughes.

I would of prefer Eiserman
