Go Habs Go
How do talent like Carter Savoie fell so much....
i never heard of him before the draft but so far it's looking like several scouts missed read or under scouted him. He's been killing it at DU.

Smith over Biondi still is an enigma to me...
great skater vs average to below average skater.
Good skater who isnt really good at hockey, a bit like Pitlick...
I know he's not a Habs prospect, but Chicago is playing against Green Bay Gamblers tonight (game is now tied 3-3). And playing for Green Bay is Jackson Kunz. He was one of the few high school players I wished Habs would select (Blake Biondi was another of the high schoolers I wanted and am happy Habs got him).
Kunz ended up picked by Vancouver after Habs took Smith and Biondi. Kunz tonight is in on each of Green Bay's goals against Chicago (has a goal and 2 assists). He has 18 pts in 21 games in his first year in the USHL.
He's a big body, who plays center, but can also play wing. He's 6'3" and 215 lbs.
If Habs ever make a trade with the Canucks, I do wish they find a way to get Kunz in the deal.
Everyone was surprised to see Farrell last to the end of the fourth round. They were right. Most of them were surprised to see the Habs draft Jack Smith in the middle of the fourth round. They were also right. Geoff Molson could save a fortune by cutting the scouting department and just buying public draft guides.I guess I should wait until after the game is over before I provide an update on Farrell. He has a second assist in the game as Chicago is now giving it straight to Green Bay. Chicago now up 7-3. Farrell has a goal and 2 assists. A little under 5 minutes left in the game.
One more point and Farrell hits the 50-point mark.
Rap on Kunz is skating as well. Worse than Biondi, apparently.I wanted the habs to take him, too, but the habs rather take average, or below average players with skill rather than a big body with skill.

Yeah, like the ones who had Romanov in the 4th round at best?Everyone was surprised to see Farrell last to the end of the fourth round. They were right.

only the 2nd time this season Caufield was shutout in a weekend series, he had several chances though today.
How impressive is Holloway? Do you see potential 1st line upside?
He probably turns pro, I'd be surprised to see him return to NCAA. Nothing to prove.he's been really good but a small sample size, hard to say at this point. If he's back next year and no covid, will be very interesting to see how he carries that team.
Timmins said there was only one player on the board at #8 they would have taken ahead of Guhle. May have been Perfetti, but just as likely someone else.I'm sure just like always the NHL will go too far the other way. Just like when they were so scared a shit team could win the cup and the draft lottery so we got Guhle instead of Perfetti.
Still completely perplexing why they went with Jack Smith and Biondi before Farrell. It just shows how bad these scouts are at evaluating offensive talent.
Obviously Farrell can still amount to nothing, but it’s blatantly obvious how much more skill he has than those two. There’s a far better chance we say “how did Farrell drop down so far” than saying the same about Smith and Biondi.
Shows you how much they weigh size still.

Smith? No idea whatsoever what they saw
We could have easily had both, we had a dozen freaking picks that year. Chromiak went all the way down to the fifth round.You cant hope for more than a decent third liner out of Mysak. We should have drafted Chromiak.
