Who should announce MTL 1st overall selection at the draft?

[MXD]

Outsider opinion: Doug Wickenheiser, and bring his sister. What's her name?

That would be really epic considering he's been very dead for over 20 years.

I don't get Damphousse as a suggestion. Like, at all.

I think Price has to be on the stage to give the jersey or whatever.

But Hughes should call it.

This said, if holograming Guy Lafleur along with creating a Lafleur-like voice could be possible, that would be awesome.

Bruce Buffer/close this thread.

Make Bruce Buffer scream the player's past accomplishments, stats, size of his hands, skates, stick, helmet. Portray the kid bigger than nature, nothing could go wrong.

I voted Gorton as I just want the person in charge to do it and I think the draft is more his thing than Hugues though I could be wrong. Hugues would look better doing it though.

It would be fun to have Lacroix announce it as if the guy selected just scored a goal.

Connor Bedard's mom, with her son's real birth certificate in her hand proving he's a year older than we thought. She announces her son, crowd goes wild, other GMs start throwing chairs, chaos ensues.

 

[Habsawce]

Saku

I voted Hughes, because it is his first meaningful act as a GM, but i like the Cournoyer idea as well.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Shea Weber

That's a great idea, what a show it would be! If they can play Luke Skywalker in the Mandalorian why not investing a couple hundred thousand dollars in making this draft legendary?

Kent Yous.

You from jersey?

 

[BenchBrawl]

When he got fired - f*** yeah - as it was for many here. Or did you not notice the overwhelming collective sigh of relief in this place when he got shit canned?

I'm very glad you guys got your collective catharsis. Cheers!

Another Habs legend would make it a bit interesting.

They'll probably have the jersey with the number on the back ready to go:

'Les Canadiens de Montréal sont fiers de sélectionner le numero ## Shane Wright'-Michel Lacroix

 

[Ozmodiar]

Wright’s parents.


… or, how about the kotkaniemi “what?!?!” lady from ‘merica?

I did grow up by the shore.

Lucky yous

Janie wanted Zadina like most of this board

 

[Legend123]

Hughes

That would show he's the man behind the habs

The reaction of the guy on the right is priceless.

It would make great tv to have bettman announce a trade for 2OA . 2oa for 2023 1rd pick too 5 protected * and 2022 1rd flames pick
If top 5 montreal can keep and give up unprotected 2024 1st or give pick 2023 1rd to nj.

That way we’d draft 1,2 and have Yvan Cournoyer call out the picks back to back as a way to honour #12

 

[MarkJ]

Ménick!

 

[mrinsane]

Louis Leblanc

 

[knuck]

I miss Chris Higgins' nose

so he's my vote

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Price would be cool.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

It’s the GM’s job to announce the pick.
