habsFan1986 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 It's to early to tell we don't know where we are picking. But for the love of god it better be the top center available. It's time for this organization to address that need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time for this organization to address that need. After Auston Matthews there isn't another surefire top line centre in the top 7 or 8 picks. around that point Dubois and McLeod come up, but its unclear if they are #1 centres or 2nd line centres. I'm also of the opinion that when you are picking that high, you need to take the best player available and not reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meller93 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I wouldn't be against trading the pick. Package something to get us help now.Now that's a great idea. Seriously if we aren't getting matthews laine or puljujarvi, package the first, one of our seconds, maybe Eller and a prospect for an upgrade.Edit, switch plex for Eller and the return could be even bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link67 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 i agree if it turns out to be anything over 5th pick, ship it off with some salary for a top 6 winger we can count on for a few years, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 In the 8-11th pick range, these all seem like good options Clayton Keller C/LW, Big Gauthier RW, Dubois LW/C, Bean LH-d 5'10" 165 6'3" 225 6'1" 180 6'1" 175 (With Price returning (or not), safe to say that the Habs wont be picking in top 5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs rule Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Could we pry duchene off Colorado ? Now that is a pretty damn good idea. I have no problem trading the pick, if we can get something good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yup... if it's not top 3.. trade it.. Edmonton is on the verge of a firesale.. so pry Hall away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meller93 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Why not? My only argument would be he's a LW and when have maxpac, but another strong LW still makes line 2 stronger so it would still be great. All I'm saying is a Center would be a little more desirable (yet harder to get probably) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Sitting with 10th pick this morning. Past deals fairly early 1st round ; 15th for 19th & 59th picks 12th for 16th, 77th & 181st 8th for Jordan Staal 9th for Cory Schneider 13th for Lucic Not sure Oilers want more draft picks, but maybe a Beaulieu & 10th pick would get you Nugent Hopkins?

DON Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Pierre-Luc Dubois had 2g 3a game yesterday. But he is big LW and Gauthier is bigger RW, who had 38g 73pts in 63 gms last year and 39g in 45gms this year is quite impressive (he missed last year draft by just 1 month, so bit older than most). Mike McLeod seems most likely centre to be taken around where Habs will pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Gauthier scares me because he's gotten tunnel vision this year. He shoots everything and doesn't utilize his teammates. His assist total is miniscule. I like Dubois a lot better. More all around game. Dubois has played some centre this year as well, and will likely be in the middle next season.

TheDriveFor25 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Pick gets included in a deal for Drouin tomorrow Just a guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Pick gets included in a deal for Drouin tomorrow Just a guess I really hope you're wrong. A lottery-bound team should not be dealing its pending first round pick without some sort of protection. And if they're protecting it, Tampa's probably not going to want it.

KoRP Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 After the pain and disappointment of this season, I want more than Drouin out of this year's 1st round pick... I want a biggish(6'+)200lb winger with blazing speed and hands made of gold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I simply would like to see Timmins get a top 10 pick and take the best player available; whether that is 165lb forward Keller, 175lb d-man Bean or jumbo 225lber Gauthier, dosent really matter to me, I will trust their scouting staff.

Guest Stogey24 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I would almost guarantee Habs won't draft under 6ft tall with their first pick. I'm not necessarily saying that's always the right thing to do, but we have the smaller skilled players in the system already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 So no Patrick Kane, Claude Giroux, Sidney Crosby types. But seeing as almost all are 6' or taller in top 15, odds are you will be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
