2024 NHL Draft mailbag: Beckett Sennecke’s rise, Tij Iginla vs. Cole Eiserman and more - The Athletic On Catton; "Some have concerns about whether his defensive game/habits are quite there considering his size, but he was one of the best penalty killers in the WHL this year and has shown some promise down the middle." For what is worth, Wheeler favours Eiserman over Iginla.

4-1 lead over confidence & then Draisaitle injury was difference makers.

But, Hughes need a partner and a deal they just cant refuse, to get it done. And it just dosent happen in the top 5. Habs got lots of good stuff they could use for trade, but is someone (Demidov or Lindstrom i assume you are thinking of?) at 2 or 3 even gonna be 'that' much better than the 5th pick?

No hurry for him and no good spot for him, is there on the Habs.

Stay the course Leafs, all will be fine.

Wheeler of The Athletic has i think 5 d-men higher ranked than Reinbacher this year. But, seems slim chance Habs will take a d-man. Not sure any top 5 draft pick has ever been moved just 1 year later, before even dressing 1 game in the NHL. Trade back if need be and take a forward. I suppose could pick a RH d-man (Artyom Levshunov or Zayne Parekh) and trade Mailloux with Jet pick for a forward perhaps? But, just cant see Reinbacher being dealt.

Offseason Checklist: Montreal Canadiens (prohockeyrumors.com) "So, Hughes needs to determine if he wants to go back into offseason LTIR or not. If he does, they could be players either in free agency or perhaps taking on a short-term pricey contract as they did with Monahan two years ago. "

Too bad Drasitle got hurt again, hope isnt serious. But great comeback again by Canucks. Fun game.

What would a goofy value or ranking be for the young d? Hutson 1st rd pick+++ Guhle 1st rd pick ++ Reinbacher 1st rd pick+ Mailloux 1st rd pick Xhekaj a young top-six forward (Pefetti)(combined with Jets pick?) Harris 2nd rd pick + Struble 2nd rd pick + Barron 3rd rd pick Kovacevic 3rd rd pick

His stats show lots of assists, unlike an Eiserman and didnt hear he was below average defensively. But think the bigger Lindstrom/Iginla would be preferred by Hughes (and most HabFans i think?).

NHL Mock Draft 2024: Macklin Celebrini to Sharks as we pick for every lottery team - The Athletic The Athletic mock, has a trade at 5 and take Iginla at 9. Interesting.

What a nice comeback by the Aves after being down 3-0 in the 1st period. I thought was game over, should be a fun series. This fellow is doing 'well'
