  1. One thing’s for sure, had I not known what picks Montreal owned and you told me they’d walk out with Slaf, Mesar, Beck and Hutson, I’d be over the moon. point is, that’s a REALLY nice haul regardless of how we got there. Specifically now that Slaf is a Hab, I’m gonna be rooting for him hard.
  2. You can nearly think of this guy as a 2023 draft eligible guy since he’s so young. If you think of a d-1 season, (rookie OHL season) 48 points in 64 games is quite good. easy to expect a fairly huge rise in production next year. Say if he had been born a few days later and a 2023 eligible guy, he could have been looked at as a first rounder if he scores say 80+ points next season I know that’s a little long winded but I just think age and the fact it was his rookie season is a huge factor here.
  3. We’re gonna love watching him as a prospect either way. He’ll shine at lower levels, and we pray he can translate his game. if been wanting a dynamic d prospect like this in the system for ages
  4. With Hutson at 62, I actually like this pick far more. I wanted to go for high upside, so Hutson fills that. in retrospect, have a very safe solid guy like Beck is a nice pick !
  5. I’m solidly not confident with HuGo at the moment. Not high on Beck personally
  6. I do like firkus. Since we already have big body Slaf it might not hurt to go with the little guy
  7. Mesar is a good pick, I’m happy with that
  8. Kakko, Puljujarvi, Armia, KK, that’s who I think of
  9. The scary thing is I worry BOTH Dach and Slafkovsky are Kotkaniemi like
  10. This draft suddenly got very Defense heavy in the top end. nemec, Jiricek, kochinski, Mintyukov, Mateychuk all taken
  11. Who’d have known we’d have been better off dropping to 4 in June? 😅 kidding (kinda) Wish the best for Slaf. Terrified Wright will make everyone look stupid.
  12. Well we don’t have 13 now, we obtained Dach for it
  13. Well then. At least looking back we’ll be able to say 3 GMs passed up on Wright..? chaos
  14. I would love to trade for 7 especially in the event one of the top 2 RD guys drop there. drafting Wright and Nemec/Jiricek would be insanity
  15. I share optimism on the rebuild too, but its mostly because of the talent pool we are already set to have in place. Suzuki Caufield and presumably Wright are extremely solid as a core up front for the next decade+ Then our defence (specifically left) has a ton in the cupboards too. Romanov, Guhle, Barron, and Harris all looking like they can be top 4 (or for Harris maybe an excellent bottom pair.) if MTL were to pull off a trade for say OTT at 7, it might be specifically if a guy like Jiricek falls to 7 to shore up that rd
  16. I hope so! I’m all about draft day chaos. Would easily be my favourite time to be a hockey fan, except no hockey is actually being played 😕
  17. With a trade up lambert could be more realistic in the 20 area
  18. This draft is going to reveal a ton about the HuGO mentality and what they’re trying to build for MSL In general it seems fast, skilled and cerebral is the focus. I could see one of the following guys at 26 Filip Mesar, Isaac Howard, Noah Ostlund, or Jagger Firkus Lambert as well if somehow he fell all that way
  19. This year’s draft has been so dragged out. Wonder have it must affect the psyche of a guy like Wright who has been scrutinized for literal years as a prospect
  20. https://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-history-best-26th-overall-draft-picks/ Some really solid picks at 26 over the years? Some of the worst recently have been by none other than mark Bergevin. (Scherbak and Juulsen). Though I can’t blame him for juulsen’s injuries. let’s nab a Shea Theodore, Kuznetsov Danult or Tage Thompson
  21. Interesting. Most sources I read talk about him as a solid skater "quick" is often used, but yea the word elite is never used. But skating is something that can be worked on. With Dumais being such a high skill/cerebral guy, I wonder if his skating has some room to grow (from it being decent already). Almost the definition of a high risk high reward pick. He's top 6 or nothing
  22. You may be getting confused with Lane Hutson (the 5'8 D man, who's actually ranked anywhere from 25-60) I'm talking about RW Jordan Dumais
