The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Could HuGo trade up to the #2 spot and take Fantilli??
For some reason I think we are trading up on draft day....maybe 2 or 3 ?
I wouldn't be shocked if we traded down a few spots, I really wouldn't be surprised either way up or down. This is the summer Kent makes the Habs relevant for a long time IMO!

Everyone is either very talented or not talented at all, and I have perfect knowledge which is which.
There is so much pontification on these boards, where posters see themselves as the anointed imbued with celestial certainty. It makes me laugh.

Habs wanted a top 5 pick, they aren't trading down.
 
No.
The Ducks aren't trading down, nor would we have the assets to do it.
CBJ wants a center, so they aren't moving to 5.
Dunno Columbus GM seems to be out of control. I like Serverson but 6.25 millions until 36 years old yikkiees. I'd definitely throw a line in the water if i was KH.

Friedman on their pod basically said there's too good a player at 3 for CBJ. They aren't moving out, down, etc.

I don't think Columbus will trade the pick for a player. They want a top center.

But of all the teams, I've heard they value Will Smith a lot. That could be hot air. But if they value Smith and Carlsson similarly, they may be willing to move down and still get one of them. They are certainly aggressively looking for assets to be better next year, in addition to trying to draft their number 1 center of the future.
 
God forbid, Michkov has nothing to do with that.

Yeah, he doesn't but it is stupid to think that Michkov falling is the same situation as Caufield falling.

Caufield fell because of his size.

Michkov has the size issue against him, too.. in addition to all the other well documented stuff.

It's not the same situation so trying to say it is the same situation, it is not.

Completely irrelevant comparison. If Michkov falls it isn't because he is short. It is because of political uncertainty or uncertainty about whether he will come over even if he was allowe to.
How far will he fall though? Michkov is the 2nd best player in this draft. The team that gets him (especially if it is outside the top 10 will be laughing all the way).

God imagine if he fell to 19----->Chicago. f*** that would be insane.
 
You called? How can I help?

Teams rarely trade down. Montreal will get some big offers, if Michkov still available. but they will pick at 5. I think it will be Leonard. If he is still there.
