Trizzak Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Our mock draft is up for your reading enjoyment. Thoughts on our selections for the Habs? http://www.habsworld.net/article.php?id=3116 No goalies till after the 3rd round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 No goalies till after the 3rd round? I wanted to pick one earlier but the enthusiasm from the others wasn't there. I think I could've talked them into one at 86 but by then, I wasn't really sure who might still be on the board (Hogberg maybe) so we went with another skater instead. Also, an update on pick 116 per Radio-Canada columnist Guillaume Lefrançois: Plusieurs m'ont écrit à ce sujet. Tant les Islanders que les #Habs disent que le 116e choix va à MTL, comme le dit le document de la LNH https://twitter.com/GLefrancoisRC/status/350316811104952321 In English? The pick apparently does actually belong to Montreal, despite the following: The Islanders will receive a second-round compensatory pick the Canadiens were due to receive at the 2011 Entry Draft. If the Canadiens make the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs and Wisniewski plays in at least 50 percent of the Canadiens' playoff games, the Islanders will receive the Canadiens' 2012 fifth-round pick; if that pick is unavailable the Islanders will get a fourth-round pick in 2013. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=547572 The Habs did make the playoffs in 2011 and Wisniewski did play in at least 50% of the postseason games (86%). The Habs' 2012 5th was dealt to Calgary as part of the Cammalleri-Bourque trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 All your Hab picks look fine; I would go with Klimchuk @25th, Poirier, Compher, Eric Comrie, Fasching, John Hayden/Jordan Subban (whichever might still be there @86th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Alright, something potentially a little more concrete regarding the #116 pick: Apparently there was a third, unreported condition that said on top of the two conditions we knew about, the Habs also had to make the conference finals in order for the pick to transfer.

BlueKross Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I like who we would get in the mock pool. I would add this, that usually there is a pick or two that defies logic before the end of the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 A whole whack of mock drafts to compare (20 of them between the chart and links)...the consensus for the Habs' selection is that there is anything but a consensus. http://www.habsworld.net/article.php?id=3117 Also, for anyone wondering, we will have a draft day specific thread on the main boards (Habs Talk forum), we'll get that going tomorrow.
