  1. I hope so as I like Lindstrom. Size without skill is useless but if you can get both!! You also don't need to be a monster. Suzuki is only 5' 11" but he is over 200 lbs and has excellent core strength and balance. He is hard to knock off the puck. A lower center of gravity is not a bad thing if you are strong. Certainly part of the reason Suzuki doesn't seem to get hurt much. I would take another Suzuki in a heartbeat.
  2. I don't think a 17 year old can lead the Olympics in goals and be MVP playing on a big ice surface without having a fair bit of skill. I just think there was too much hype regarding Wright because he peaked early (declared a generational talent when he was 16). He still may be a very good NHL player but the hype was a little much. Obviously the Habs went with BPA instead of worrying about position. It's still early though.
  3. Interesting to read the posts after they drafted Juraj. It's obviously not an exact science when you are drafting 17/18 year olds. I think they got it right.
  4. A good article, could be one of these guys unless we win the lottery. How Catton and Lindstrom compare against each other in the 2024 draft class (nhlentrydraft.com)
  5. Thanks for the detailed update. You always get a different and better perspective when you can see the game live and watch plays develop as well as see stuff away from the play. It seemed like a game where the effort was there but the execution was not. I agree about Harris, smart player, mobile but I think other teams know that playing the body on him is very effective, I see him as the odd man out. As frustrating as it is to watch Gallagher and Anderson sometimes, it's too early to buy them out, too much dead cap space.
  6. The Oilers-Avs game was about as good a game as I have seen this year. The OT was phenomenal when you get 3 on 3 with McDavid, Draisaitl, MacKinnon and Makar. Arturi scores with a second left. I still say without a doubt that McDavid is the best player in the world but MacKinnon is certainly number 2, a phenomenal player.
  7. Sens win, Coyotes win and Blue Jackets win, not a terrible night.
  8. Engstrom is a wonderful skater, Habs are so deep in LD prospects.
  9. That would be celebration time. All I want for Christmas is a lottery win. Please Santa, I have been extra good this year.
  10. Agreed, I don't think he is an option at 7 either, would love to see the Sens and Yotes go on a winning streak but I won't hold my breath for that to happen.
  11. Another mock draft, a lot of defensemen near the top seems to be pretty common, Catton seems to be in that 6-8 range a lot, Lindstrom all over the place. 2024 NHL Mock Draft | NHL Draft Rounds - Lines.com
  12. It was good to see Winnipeg lose last night. Now if Dallas or Colorado win that division then Winnipeg has a very tough 1st round opponent (Dallas or Colorado) and if they go out early then it pretty much guarantees that 1st round pick would be no later than mid 20's.
  13. I could live with that. The Habs seem to get up for the good teams so I expect a close one.
