He's at 3.5/5 fire in the eyes after the steak. Higher than anyone else's.

You just know that after the last year or 2 they all knew the animal question was coming and prepped for it like midterm exam.

Hugues literally said we were picking a forward , dont even know why we debate on another d-man.

This team has pretty much nothing in the pipeline offensively since they went the popcorn route last draft. What's the point to draft another dman when people barely want to get rid of Savard or Matheson

If we can't make a def from Guhle Hutson Jackeye Mailloux , Reinbacher , Struble and Barron . Then perhaps the problem is somewhere else and not because we don't have enough young dmen in the org.

What Hughes literally said was that “all things being equal” they're picking a forward.

Which means it depends who the teams ahead of the Habs pick and whose available at that point.

IMO, if Demidov and Lindstrom go in the top 4…don’t rule out a Dman.

We already know Bobrov has a hard-on for unicorns, I can't imagine how excited he got interviewing a pegasus

Iginla seems like he's a good interview though, he carries himself very well for someone his age and seems like he'd fit into the culture they're building. If Lindstrom isn't an option then I feel like Iginla is probably going to be their guy.

 

[Frankenheimer]

Apparently Shane Pinto getting suspended 41 games did nothing to discourage this hypothetical:

But would be the right response to the question? Be honest and actually rank yourself in the teens or lie and say number 1?

It wont be popular but i would be ecstatic if we drafted Lindstrom at 5 and trade Guhle for a pick that can land Iginla.

the point is, if two of the forwards (demidov or Lindstrom) are taken by 5th, you do NOT not draft one of the stud Dmen (because, you need a forward) - thats like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Basically, we are walking away with 1 of the following:
Demidov, Lindstrom, Dickinson or Levshunov... ainec for the remaining options. any of these 4, and our tank was worth it.

 

[Vachon23]

Dickinson combine numbers may make Timmins go rogue and pick him at 4 regardless

Timmins isn’t the one who makes the decision though

 

[WeThreeKings]

Timmins isn’t the one who makes the decision though

That's why I said he would go rogue. It's a joke

 

[Vachon23]

That's why I said he would go rogue. It's a joke

In fact, I wonder if they hired him so when he likes a player, they know they need to go in completely different direction

 

[ZUKI]

For their 2nd meal, he's wondering if they should go back to Mendy's. If you go to Mendy's, you're guaranteed a good meal.



You can also flip Slafkovsky and Suzuki for top 10 picks easy. We can draft them all.

Should at least get 12-15 top selections ; 2023 and 2024 pics only, to finally end all the " he doesn't fit with Habs window" .

Imagine now if he takes 4-5 inches this summer, as the other one

the other one has a 6' ex-volleyball olympian mom. i'll let you google iginla's mom.

C'est une p'tit gars avec un gros gabarit - B Brunet
un Dieu Grec - J. Demers
Un bonhomme qui a du coffre - un banquier

 

[McGees]

Hawks sound like Levshunov could be a thing.
Ducks board is talking about Silayev or Demidov.
CBJ board is talking about Lindstrom a lot.
This means 1 thing.....






HELENIUS TO THE HABS BABY!

 

[1909]

Beaudoin or Boisvert would be a good pick with Winnipeg’s #26.

That’s insane !

So not only is Dickinson 6'3" but a whopping 200lb of lean muscle too? Ffs, sign him now.

 

[themilosh]

I like Boivert, but its a toss up if he can become a top 6 C.. id rather throw expendable assets to m8ve up 10 spots and draft that forward that might have slipped or the one they want - the value to move up 10 spots far outpaces the need to wait, and its entirely possible that Boivert might be that gem in 3-5 years...
To mark the end of our "rebuild" and hang up the tank hats, it is imperative we come out of the first round with a sure fire top 6 F (prospect or player) and a top 4 D (dickinson or Levshunov)

Habs management are no doubt smitten by Tij's wit and charm.

A true 6ft'er is pretty good.

A lot of guys who are billed at 6ft in NHL are not actually 6ft.

I'll take it.

 

[McGees]

Athletic podcast think:
- think Levshunov to Hawks.
- Demidov some teams unsure about MHL only play and SKA being sketchy
- Lindstrom likely top 5, could be a CBJ pick
- Iggy more a 8-15 type player
- Catton deserves to be a top 10 pick but could slip because of size.
- Boisvert is valued for his intangibles.

Also for the record I think Wheeler is a weenie.

Yep when it comes to Demidov you better be sure.

The more I learn about him, the more I think he has it all. I just find him more complete than Lindstrom.

 

[River Meadow]

Then you factor in, Lindstrom's bad back (which apparently isn't 100% right now) and the fact that he didn't play a full season...

Iginla meanwhile played great...

Forget the 3inches, who is actually a better hockey player, Lindstrom or Iginla.....

Tough call.
