Aho sounds great, obviously everyone would love to have that kind of player on the team. I would hope that the #2 player in the draft will be producing a little more than 60-70 points but it's still good if the defense is there. Do you see him as more of a center or winger in the NHL? Should we expect him to be playing in the NHL for the start of the 25-26 season regardless of who takes him? What are other people missing who have him around the 8 spot?

What are you seeing in Helenius that puts him at 2? Most draft lists have him outside the top 5

SLAFKOVSKY!

Who are the three who did better?

What happened between these two?

They are good friends and the Avs are legitimate contenders, I could see it.

So you think if he hits UFA in the summer of 2025 he's not looking around the league and just resigns in Pittsburgh at a discount? I think he still the desire and drive to win and may eagerly chase a cup elsewhere.

Who thinks Crosby leaves Pittsburgh to chase one more cup before his career is done? I hope he leaves. He's still such a good player and the Penguins are clearly declining. Montreal in 2025-26 would be cool as we might be good by then but I would be happy to see him go to any contending team so we can see him in the playoffs.

Based on where the Habs are now and not counting on any lotter luck, Eiserman and Lindstrom will likely be gone but Catton or Helenius still sound good. Looking at the history of drafts, I know there are busts in the top 10 but there are also really good players found in the 10-20 range. Maybe an outlier, but pasternak was taken at 25

Catton, Lindstrom, Eiserman, Iginla, Helenius or Other? I'm assuming we'll be picking 4-9 range

I think we've seen enough, on ice and off. He is supposed to be in his prime right NOW. Bullet dodged. Maybe Hughes knew all along. I wonder how much of an influence Bergevin had on bringing him to LA?

Yes, absolutely. No one expected this team to contend for the playoffs and that was assuming Dach and Newhook were going to play the majority the games. Good news is they're going to pick up another good player at he draft this year

Something that may show that the Habs have over achieved a little based on their record this season. They have the worst goal differential in the Eastern conference and only the sharks, Blackhawks and ducks are worse in the whole league.

Hope slafkovsky is okay. Wouldn't surprise me if he sustained a concussion on the hit, he stayed down for a while. I think I can say I've seen enough of Barron. He definitely has some solid offensive skills but the defensive gaffes are too much for me.

If anyone has any doubts about MSL, watch this video. I considered myself to have a decent understanding of the game but after watching this, my knowledge is clearly very surface level compared to a man like this. Considering everything we know about him, it makes sense that he has spent a lot of time in his life contemplating the game.
