or Reinbacher the fact that David is Hughes' "guy", not Logan is more likely the reason.
Is simply silly to think Reinbacher might be traded anytime soon or near future.

I have heard him described as Mike Hoffman-ish ... it accurate, or even mostly accurate, don't think HuGo's philosophy is quite so uni-dimensional.
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.

The Oilers were awful last night, no intensity. How many shots did they get in the 2nd and 3rd period combined? Five?
They scored early and thought it would be easy, perhaps a good wake up call. Full credit to the Canucks who played with intensity. I think game 2 will be different.
4-1 lead over confidence & then Draisaitle injury was difference makers.

I have no interest in trading down. I'm more about trading up.
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. "

Lehkonen getting another ring this year?

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

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'

Celebrini going 1st.
And Demidov seems interesting fit with Bedard; but, hopefully the Hawks have a bigger hole on defense.
Which way will the Ducks & Columbus likely be leaning, d or forward?
(Recent poll had Lindstrom as Habfans favourite to draft after Celebrini, i still would prefer Demidov/Catton for their skill/offense, but a potential powerhorse like Lindstrom is intriguing for sure.)

The only "issue/question" I might raise is no mention of goal-scoring as a strength ... THAT is an obvious need for the Habs in the years to come, and something largely missing from the current prospect pool.
Catton scores alot.

Assume one of Mailloux, Struble, Harris, Kovacevic, Barron is gone this summer.
What value would Mailloux & Jets pick be to the Jets? Would it be Cole Perfetti value?

But brings another factor to mitigate and selecting taking into account immediate future years. As in this case 2023/2024 as a whole. Surely they would have scouting reports on the 16/17 yr olds with the 17/18 year olds. 1 year out
I imagine the Hab scouts keep tabs on young top prospects in prep academies, rookies in CHL, U-16, etc and lots of youth tournaments.
Last year it was noted, will be more high quality d-men in the 2024 draft and am sure Mgmt knew this.
But; picking by position might not be best way to go with high school kids, to then be hedging bets on next year's draft 16 yr olds.

3 in 29 times it has happened
;
Canadiens hope luck in on their side at Tuesday's NHL Draft Lottery | Montreal Gazette
"The NHL introduced the draft lottery in 1995. In the first 29 years of the lottery, the team with the best odds has won the No. 1 pick 11 times. ...
Three times, the team with the fifth-best odds of winning the draft lottery (the Canadiens’ position this season) have won the No. 1 pick. Those three teams were the New York Islanders, who selected goalie Rick DiPietro in 2000; the Blackhawks, who picked Patrick Kane in 2007; and the New Jersey Devils, who drafted Nico Hischier in 2017."

I think Rangers and Aves will win their. series
Permanent Trade Proposal Thread
in Habs & Hockey Talk
Posted
Are there any comparables, a promising top 5 or 10 pick dealt before his 1st NHL game?
And more just saying any proposal involving him seems 'silly' to consider.
