It was reported soon after the draft that Habs tried to move up (with the Mesar pick) but weren’t able to.

Good Player Bad Organization?
Remains to be seen.
Anaheim and San Jose could both be perpetual tanks.
They certainly haven't demonstrated a desire to win in recent years.
Like none zero zip nada.
Beck clearly states he'll wash f***ing dishes if that helps the team.
Did the dude even read the article?

Ducks are in the tanking mode just like us. Maybe we are a bit ahead of them in our process, they are planified to win in 7 years, we in 5 years. Anyway a 3C isn't that important if the 2 first lines are studs. 2 different players can be equally good. It seems Beck is a good guy so let's give him his try. What bugs me, he's not 6'3" like Gaucher ...
Why let it bother you we were never in the running for Nathan Gaucher at 22nd.

I wonder if we end up trading Dvorak in the summer. I feel like Beck would end up being too good to send down in that case.

Something on my mind as well. If Dvorak is moved, I think we have faith Beck is ready and Evans can hold the 3C role with Beck developing in a sheltered role.
* Suzuki/Dach as our top 2C's.
* Evans/Dvorak as the bottom 2C's
* Newhook as the wild card (winger/center type).
* Beck and Kapanen as the guys knocking on the door.

Snake Boisvert saying his ceiling is 4C
I like Snake. But his views on Habs prospects is always skewed on the lowest possible outcome.
He's real low on Mailloux, calling him an AHL lifer. He hasnalso repeatedly brought up Hutson as someone they should trade.

Dvorak shouldn't have any value at this point.
I think they will use the same approach with Beck as they did with Roy. Send Beck to the ahl for half a season, then call him up.
Fair but keep in mind Roy didn't force anyone's hand out of camp.
What I've been suggesting is Beck forces Marty to decide he wants him in his starting group.
Marty tends to get what he wants and Hughes will have to react accordingly.
The fact that Dvorak has little value would actually make it much easier to dump him.
This group has challenged our prospects to force their hands loudly and publicly.
I keep going back to the same refrain our management have proven to stick to their word.
They mean what they say so until they don't I'll use it as a guide to what is and isn't possible.
Oh I don't agree with that at all. I know we don't like him on here but at minimum he's worth a 3rd, he's an NHL 3C.

At the tdl? sure
In the offseason? No
He's coming off a 9 pts in 30 games season. Gm's won't want to give up any decent asset for that when they could just sign a ufa player or promote a prospect to the nhl.
The wings had to give up a 2nd round pick to trade Wallman just now. Wallman is a 28 years old dman, who played 20 min a night, scored 12 goals in 63 games, and has 2 years x 3.4 M left.

With it sounding like they want to be more competitive this year and Dvorak's value being at an all time low, I think they probably keep Dvorak around for now.
With Dach injured the last two years and Dvorak missing a lot of time, our centre depth was horrible and we ended up having Evans centering our second line and having to claim plugs like Colin White.
If he has a decent season and stays healthy he'd probably get some interest at the trade deadline as GMs are always looking for centres who can win faceoffs and kill penalties, plus he can chip in offensively as well.

Second most interesting man in the world.
Snake's ceiling is part-part-part-time vlogger on Youtube. Not much loftier than the ceiling of Frodo's house in Lord of the Rings.Snake Boisvert saying his ceiling is 4C

I like Beck. Should be able to be a solid part of the PK, win important face-offs while playing a solid 200 ft game. I'm not sure how much offensive he will have in the NHL though.

Snake
I like Snake too, he has a good flair/llooking about forward, but for dman,I don’t think he is really good. Saying Mailloux is a 6th dman this is low expectations. Mailloux done a really good year for a 20 years old dman in the AHL. To me he has top 4 upside

For the Canadiens absolutely. Habs don't need goaltenders but they need centres.
