Silayev, Lindstrom, Catton, Iginla, Parekh, Eiserman

[Garbageyuk]

Cole Eiserman is just gonna be Cole Eiserman. Cole Eiserman likes putting the puck in the net and Cole Eiserman ain't gonna change his game for no one.


keep this kid away from the team please lol.

@Garbageyuk doesn’t like this at all. @Garbageyuk thinks it’s cringe.

No question. There is a quality forward draught on this team and there is no immediate help in the pipeline.

After Joshua Roy there is a steep decline in legitimate forward prospects that could step in next season.

I didn’t count Joshua Roy as I assumed he had graduated but maybe I’m wrong.

Yup, unless a trade happens, which I would expect if the Habs take a LD at 5

 

[Next Best Thing]

Catton should be considered very seriously, just like the Benson Boyz were asking last year. These games of “5 11 too small” are ridiculous…

I have him after Demidov.

Lindstrom, while I get the appeal, has too many risk factors imo.

My fear is we just go with Iginla for the sake of it if our pick is taken.

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Habs bursting at the seems with D prospects

I can't remember but they said he has had a huge growth spurt and is close to 6"4.

The Oshawa site says 6’3.

I can’t say I’ve seen 6’4 anywhere.

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

I think Parekh will surprise some of you once he hits the NHL. But honestly I'm a fan of most of the D in our range. Buium, Levshunov etc.

This explains my thought process exactly. It actually fits with Hughes style of accelerating the rebuild so I don't think it's an outlandish possibility. Replace Reinbacher with one of our other D if you want but I think he's the only one (outside of Guhle who I'd prefer to keep) that might command the kind of value we'd need to offer.

But they traded to get Neewhook.
And Sennecke who is 6'4" is only 170 lbs. Kindda bizarre to draft him for his size.

Sennecke is 6’3, 178.

And will add a pound or 15 the next two years.
The kid grew five inches the past two.

Demidov has better numbers in MHL than Kucherov.

Imagine we could had Demidov and Michkov both on same line. Kucherov and Paninin

 

[Hannibal]

Just like some thought that we had the next Barkov in Kotkaniemi.

Always a bad idea to compare numbers.

 

[River Meadow]

Imagine Michkov will likely play in the NHL next season too.

Gorton and Hughes might need a bunker to hide in depending on how both Michkov/Reinbacher look next year.

Anyway, yes, I agree, getting Demidov would be nice.

 

[morhilane]

I didn’t count Joshua Roy as I assumed he had graduated but maybe I’m wrong.

I also think he graduated, but Habs already has 12 forwards signed for the NHL without Roy, so it will be decided at camp, unless Hughes manage to move some forwards this off-season (4 are UFAs).

 

[Tyson]

The Oshawa site says 6’3.

You know how the internet is...I am sure 6'3 is accurate, a heck of a growth spurt

 

[Gustave]

Lindstrom, while I get the appeal, has too many risk factors imo.

My fear is we just go with Iginla for the sake of it if our pick is taken.

Personally I have trouble putting one in front of the other, all F prospects considered.

Demidov is clear F#2, but between Catton Lindstrom and Iggy, I can see an angle on all three. I wouldn’t want to be the one deciding that ranking.

Only, if Catton is disqualified because of his size, I don’t like that. That’s not a criteria for me. His skills trump those worries.

 

[dcyhabs]

Demidov has better numbers in MHL than Kucherov.

The Russian leagues are less competitive since the invasion of Ukraine dissuaded a lot of good players from going there. I expect it’s less impressive now than when Kucherov was there.

I’m sure Demidov is good, but I’m not sure he’s that good.

 

[Leto]

You know how the internet is...I am sure 6'3 is accurate, a heck of a growth spurt

There is a recent interview on TVA Sports with his mother. The article mentions that Sennecke is now 6'3 ( his father is also 6'3). As always, it's good to take that information with a grain of salt and wait for the combine.​

 

[Habssince89]

I'm hoping the combine will make the picture clearer for us fans. Lindstrom being healthy, guys like Catton and Iginla showing their strength, etc it should really give us a better idea of what these players can grow into than just the height/weights

 

[larek]

Eiserman!!

 

[BLONG7]

The absolute swing and miss by the previous regime, has left our forward crop for kids ready to play is just brutal.
Our first rounders under MB when taking forwards over those years, are just wow.
Scherback
MacCarron
Poehling
Who am I missing..................I think his drafting gave me PTSD, and memory loss.

He’s a Detroit draft pick for sure

Galchenyuk and Kotkaniemi, two 3rd overall picks which were horrible choices.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Galchenyuk and Kotkaniemi, two 3rd overall picks which were horrible choices.

To be fair, I'd say a majority of us were ecstatic with the Galchenyuk pick at the time. Lots of fist pumping when his name was called.

That whole 2012 Galchenyuk draft was an atrocious draft.

If there was ever a lesson to be learned about how to and how not to develop a young player this was it.
Alot of the responsibility of how a player turns out is the players responsibility but the team could have done more.

Not to defend MB but we had problem to draft good forwards player before him too

 

[le_sean]

No I don’t think he’s done enough to have a guaranteed spot next year. He started the AHL season scorching hot, but was nowhere to be found for the most part afterwards. He’s only 20 and he needs to find more consistency in his game.
