It has been a long two plus months since the since ended but tonight, the Habs will finally get to reap the benefits of their struggles as they make the 9th overall pick in the draft. (Unless they trade it, of course.)

Montreal holds the following picks over the next two days:

9th Overall
39th Overall
45th Overall
70th Overall

100th Overall
124th Overall
160th Overall

We'll use this thread to discuss the picks that are made (by the Habs and otherwise); any trades by Montreal will get their own thread of course.

The fun gets underway at 7 PM EST tonight, Sportsnet, TVA Sports, and NBCSN have the coverage.

Day two kicks off at 10 AM EST. Sportsnet has coverage there (not sure about elsewhere).

Oh well, gotta record the draft and check it out later...someone had the nerve to schedule a pig-roast on draft weekend. :angry2:

Come on, fingers crossed ...from the Penticton Vees of the BCHL... :wavetowel:

Wow, Andrew Shaw. Word on the street is Chicago was trying so hard to re-sign him. He's considered irreplaceable in Chi-town. Man, being up against the cap has really forced the Blackhawks to jettison good young players over the years.

So is Shaw now our 2nd line center?

Guess this means the Subban trade isn't gonna happen. This is why Montreal wanted the pick, the player is gone, no need to pull the trigger on the 4th?

Phew

On Shaw, according to this he is MUCH better suited to be on the wing. http://www.secondcityhockey.com/2015/8/31/9229947/blackhawks-top-prospect-rankings-andrew-shaw-scouting-report-future-2015

It's getting easier for the Habs to make a selection with Keller gone. Only two players left that were consistantly ranked in the top ten this season. I'm betting the Sabres are drafting Sergachev which would leave Nylander for the Habs.
