I also like Hughes' drafting logic: not drafting the best player today, but the one that will be the best in five years' time. So far, this looks to be working out with Slafkovsky.
I wonder how Wright would be doing in habland, if had of chosen him?

Looks like off to OT, so Laval is toast!

mid 3rd it was 2-2
1st 9:11 
Riley Kidney (13), Jayden Struble (6)2nd 3:24 
Tobie Bisson (18), David Reinbacher (3) -

My hope is that
Demidov or Lindstrom fall to 5 (assuming the Habs draft there). If not, I wouldn't be surprised if the Habs take Iginla or Catton or maybe Helenius. The top 10 is really tough to predict, mock drafts are all over the place after Celebrini.... Habs win lottery and take Celebrini. Aside from that any of a handful would be fine by me.
Eiserman seems too Hoffman-like, from what i have heard, is about the only one i not keen on seeing in a a Habs #24 jersey.
Only another 2 1/2 months to go...

As always, with soooooo mnay players, the question is whether the #s will translate to the NHL.
After watching his junior career I was so pumped when the habs got Corey Locke in the 4th round of the 2003 after his CHL Player of the year and Top Scorer Awards (Regular Season: 66 gms, 63 g, 88 a, 151 pts; Playoffs: 46 gms, 23 gms, 19 g, 19 a, 38 pts) ... GREAT AHL player ... 9 gms, 0 g, 1 a ... albeit Locke was smaller.
That is why NHL scouts/GMs get well-paid.
You are reaching way back for Locke example. Is zero reason Not relevant to drafting a WHL sniper in 2024 is it. Given are 1,000 other top prospects who flopped, we all know is always bit of a crap shoot with high-school kids.
And i would prefer to see them go bit more risky for offense upside, than a solid 2 way sure fire NHLer.
Like a more offensive Demidov or Catton.
(like: i preferred Jagger Firkus (63gms 61goals 126pts this year) vs a Owen Beck)

Bruins/Dallas/Florida/Rangers/Vancouver dressed 10 different d-men this year
Aves/Oilers/Carolina dressed 9 different d-men.
So NHL-ready depth always needed. e.g. Savard goes down in Oct and Reinbacher or Mailloux recalled earlier than wanted.
And also seems a given, that at least 1 d-man will be traded before the fall.
-
Impressive #s and offense is what Habs lack... just saying.

Technically he would be able to return for one more season, but I do expect that this is rather unlikely.
After starting this season in the AHL, we all know he aint going back to the OHL again.
-
Talk isnt worth much with aging athletes and maybe a stint in the AHL will be needed, before an Armia-transformation happens?
-
I guess do or die today, need regulation win.

KalPa Kuopio at Kärpät Oulu 11:30 am - Liiga Bronze Medal Game (single-elimination game)
Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds at Saginaw Spirit 7:05 pm - OHL Quarter Final (best-of-7) (Series tied 2-2)
"...You mentioned the defensive adjustment. Brendan Davidson came back and has formed a very solid pair with with Adam Engström defensively, which is maybe not what we expected as Montreal Canadiens fans."
"No, I really like that pair and Brandon has served as a good mentor for Adam as well. Brandon with his NHL experience, obviously learning a lot over there, so they have been [good]. On the contrary, Adam is teaching Brandon, maybe how to play with the puck more. I think they fit well as a pair."

Nice in-depth look at Hutson's 2 games.

Sucks that 6th pick is 44% chance for Habs.
But seems rankings very mixed up for top 10, so 5th vs 6th pick not a huge loss.

Rocket Weekly: The Pressure’s On Now – HabsWorld.net
– With Florian Xhekaj joining the team on a tryout deal, forward Jakov Novak was returned to ECHL Trois-Rivieres just a day after being recalled. Chris Jandric was also sent down for the Lions’ playoff run.
– Luke Tuch signed a one-way deal with the Rocket, meaning he’ll be eligible to play down the stretch and in the playoffs if Laval qualifies.

My only complaint is that June 28 is too far away. I want to know now 🥳
Well, on May 6th or 7th will find out what spot.
Jets vs Aves, i think it is, assume Aves will be favored?

Seems like a future Armia type? Hopefully "good " Armia, not like the bum we saw prior to January.
Maybe a Struble-like underrated physical guy, i guess is hope. We shall see how he does in Laval next season with Reinbacher, Hutson, Mesar, Beck...
-
Arizona up 1-0 mid-1st over Oilers... come on hang on!
-
Beck 0pts 3 shots 7/16 in 4-0 loss. Series is 2-2.
Mesar is down 3-0 in series vs London. His junior career could be over tomorrow.
Might he play in the world championships or Laval if they sneek into playoffs?

Great to hear Roy is back playing again.
Reinbacher 2g2a in 10 games so far.
