Dalhabs Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 If this guy can be a third liner, I will be happy. College hockey guy, so we will see him in 5 years, if at all. College hockey is a bigger threat to draft than KHL-players... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 If this guy can be a third liner, I will be happy. College hockey guy, so we will see him in 5 years, if at all. Yeah, and that's why all the learned effusions from the commetariat about how this "addresses our need for size at FW" make little sense. By the time this kid plays - if he ever does - the team will look a lot different. I hope they've found a beast who can chip in with some offence, but at face value I'm uneasy. It puts me in mind of picks like Ward and Lindsay Vallis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyhasbeen Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I never dreamed Fucale would be available, and can't believe we didn't take him. What happened to the best available player motto? I don't hate the pick, actually would have liked to have snagged him early second though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habscout Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Dont hate the pick but think it came too early. I think we could of held off till the second round and still got this guy with our early second round picks. Maybe, but you don't know what other teams are thinking. I believe the scouts & GM's talk a lot during the draft weekend to gauge who may be picking whom. It's very possible another team had him listed late in the first round or very early in the 2nd. While I hoped the Habs would go with a more skilled forward I'm not unhappy about them taking McCarron. Since they have Habs have #34 & 36, they still have a decent chance at drafting Erne or Zykov, guys I'd like to see them pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Zykov still available? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I wanted Erne, Morin was easily the worst pick in the draft at number 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Zykov still available? Why? Imagine the Habs get him in the 2nd that would be swell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm fine with McCarron. Tons of size, good skater for his frame. Only scored two goals less than Commandant's favourite Compher in the U18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMELINATOR Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm happy with the pick.. Needed a monster, looks like we got one. Has lots of time to develop and with the right direction and coaching we could have a beast. Excited for our next picks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'll comment on the picks later on (I've got a very busy night ahead) but here's my McCarron writeup with some highlights, stats, rankings, and scouting notes: http://www.habsworld.net/article.php?id=3119 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Yeah, and that's why all the learned effusions from the commetariat about how this "addresses our need for size at FW" make little sense. By the time this kid plays - if he ever does - the team will look a lot different. I hope they've found a beast who can chip in with some offence, but at face value I'm uneasy. It puts me in mind of picks like Ward and Lindsay Vallis. It reminds me a lot of how Gainey drafted centremen like crazy. None of which are on the team... White maybe?

habscout Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Wow Fucale! A clutch goalie, but I'm a bit surprised. Maybe the Habs want someone challenging Price soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Wow. An eerie feeling to see the Habs draft the kid who just might end up replacing Price. You have to LOVE the buzz around this kid. Maybe, but you don't know what other teams are thinking. I believe the scouts & GM's talk a lot during the draft weekend to gauge who may be picking whom. It's very possible another team had him listed late in the first round or very early in the 2nd. While I hoped the Habs would go with a more skilled forward I'm not unhappy about them taking McCarron. Since they have Habs have #34 & 36, they still have a decent chance at drafting Erne or Zykov, guys I'd like to see them pick. Yeah, I think the Habs knew Fucale wasn't gonna go before they got to him and so bided their time. It reminds me a lot of how Gainey drafted centremen like crazy. None of which are on the team... White maybe? Indeed. Except under certain circumstances, I believe in BPA, not trying to plug holes. Oh, well, it's all a crapshoot anyway. But I sure would love us to get Subban. From a team-building viewpoint that could be gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Fucale won't be ready for a while. That's what I mean about "eerie." It seems like yesterday that the Habs drafted Price. He's still only 25, but we can forsee a situation where his contract approaches expiration and the Habs have Fucale groomed to take over. It's like a weird, telescopic glimpse into a possible future.
