HF Habs: Montreal Canadiens Draft (#3, #35, #38, #56, #62, #66, #97, #102, #122 & #128)

[Adam Michaels]

Why is ROR so freaking available, anyway???

Because store owners fear for their businesses.

 

[WeThreeKings]

This is why you never keep a desperate GM in his position. If he's bad enough to be considered to be fired.. just fire hinm

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Partly because he is a hockey anomaly where he passes the eye test, but not the results test. He's a very good player but no one is quite sure what tier he really lives on.

(Oh, and he carries a big cap hit and said he lost his love of the game playing in Buffalo).

We've got just the place for the spiritually wounded.

I'm not a big, burly guy. No more gut punches, please.

 

[Whitesnake]

Bergevin isnt stupid enough to give the #3 for ROR.... ?

I choose to believe he is not either.

Boston let Chiarelli skate and he had won a Cup.

There is a tide in the affairs of men...

[Whitesnake]

Zadina or Kotkaniemi. That's it. They can't be wrong. For them, it's the worst drafting position ever though.

But Kotkaniemi is nothing like Galchy. But Zadina is a clear pure talent.

If we let Claude go...i would think Edmonton would take him very quick

 

[sampollock]

On thé rocks!!!......Gibson’s or Weisers....maybe Forty Creek

Actually, that new Crown Royal Vanilla is pretty tasty, goes down like a milkshake

Great avatar. Looking down, wonder what Selke and Pollock think of our situation.

Dubas said they have the goods to move up to get a guy they want. They just might want BT.

Also, found the point-blank Sandin questions to Dubas to be very odd.

I like Sandin, and if Philly takes Wilde instead (as the mock projects) they're dumb.

 

[Runner77]

I hope Runner took notes on what he said about Kotkaniemi and adds it to this thread. Tony tried but Timmins wasn't giving anything up.

I had to move away from the laptop but kept the radio on. Can't remember the details, sorry.

Let's grab the podcast as soon as it's up.

 

[le_sean]

It wasn’t random. He just reported it after it happened. Was he supposed to not report it because of the Kotkaniemi chatter??

Lavoie reported it yesterday. The Habs had dinner with him in Buffalo. I doubt they met halfway in Buffalo a few days ago, so it was probably at the combine 2.5 weeks ago. The report makes no sense.

 

[Runner77]

Good God... No!!!

Just what a lot of us fear.

When I've been talking about damage-control, it's exactly this kind of thing that I'm wary about.

If ownership is giving Bergevin full reign on major moves, it could be anything. Including a trade of the 3OA for ROR.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Maybe they just found out about it. I doubt they held on to this tidbit for two and a half weeks in case Kotkaniemi started trending. That makes no sense.

 

[Habsfan18]

Just make the f***ing pick. Don’t play games. Pick the BPA. If we trade it for ROR..........Good god..

 

[WeThreeKings]

Maybe they just found out about it. I doubt they held on to this tidbit for two and a half weeks in case Kotkaniemi started trending. That makes no sense.

Lavoie is a shill and Habs have been talking about trading down but it cooled since people know they like Kotkaniemi. So Lavoie put out the tkachuk report to give them some credence to maybe investigate moving back again

Exactly, found out as in leaked by the Canadiens to Lavoie. See if teams buy it and see if they can trade down to get Kotkaniemi. If not, just take him at 3.

 

[Habs Icing]

TSN tonight draft preview was a rye opener

Any excuse to drink, uh.

 

[Runner77]

lol...

there better be something else coming to Habs if the do a Ohreally for 3rd

You mean like there was in the Weber and Galchenyuk deals? Of course there will be. It's an intangible called "anguish".

 

[Runner77]

They could have also been using Lavoie as a smokescreen.

Brady was just on 690..said he went with a couple guys from Habs to a steakhouse.....didnt say who..but later in the interview he said he dont know any roster player on Habs but knows Scott Mellanby......

Pierre McGuire thinks Habs should pick Brady

 

[le_sean]

Actually, the ACL surgery of Kotkaniemi is scaring me... Galchenyuk had the same thing and then he never developped the next gear to be more succesful in the NHL.

Kotkaniemi is a worst skaters than Chucky right now... in this new nhl that's a big red flag for me.. Espicially for Center. Look at big mac speed always behind has centerman.

The difference is Kotkaniemi played his draft year and he won’t play in the NHL at 18.
