Montreal Canadiens 2024 NHL Draft

[DarthMaster09]

Do you think that Lindstrom or Demidov can fall to the Habs at 5? I really hope so but if they are already taken, who do you think the Habs will take? I think they will take Iginla if Lindstrom and Demidov are gone. What is your top 5 prediction? As a big Habs fan, I hope that it goes like this:

1- Macklin Celebrini
2- Artyom Levshunov
3- Anton Silayev
4- Cayden Lindstrom
5- Ivan Demidov

I think lindstrom will fall past the habs

Demidov I can’t see making it past 4 tho

I think lindstrom will fall past the habs

Because of his back injury you think?

 

[frederixx]

I think Lindstrom will fall out of the top 10 due to his herniated disc. They say he won't need an operation, but what if he does?

 

[spfan]

I think 1 of Lindstrom or Demidov will be available to them. Although I could maybe see then passing on Demidov, but not Lindstrom. I think Lindstrom, Iginla, Demidov would the order they would take them in.

SJ - Celebrini 100%
CHI - it sounds like Levshunov is most likely, but a solid chance it's Demidov.
AHM - Definitely Levshunov if he's there. Otherwise, probably Silayev. Demidov possible too.
CBJ - Lindstrom most likely. Demidov, Silayev possible if they're there.

 

[McGees]

CBJ will take Demidov

 

[HabbyGuy]

Don't be surprised if the habs grab Sennecke at 5 if both Demidov and Lindstrom are gone.

I think the habs order of preference would be Demidov, Lindstrom, Sennecke, Catton, Iginla. Just a hunch.

They may even take a D depending on who falls there. But their obvious desire is a forward.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

I think the top 5 goes:
1. Celebrini
2. Levshunov
3. Silayev/Dickinson
4. Lindstrom
5. Demidov

I think each team in the 2-5 range gets their #2 or #3 ranked guy. They'd all be happy.

I think Lindstrom will fall out of the top 10 due to his herniated disc. They say he won't need an operation, but what if he does?

That has already been addressed. NHL teams are apparently satisfied that his back is not a concern going forward.

As far as Montreal is concerned, they should not paint themselves into a corner as far as position is concerned. Take the BPA. If it's a Dman, then so be it.
