I wanna make sure I don’t miss it, is the reveal 2nd intermission?

 

Yes

[Chris]

So it's Dahlin clearly #1

 

Followed by Svechnikov and Zadina? 

 

I believe i read those other two are more talented then the 4-10 bunch? Is that correct? 

 

I would not mind tcachuk, 

 

stay away from players who are going to harvard

[revvvrob]

I also love the bonus that Ottawa fell out of the top 3!!

We don’t need to think about Tkachuk at all at this point really. 

 

Dahlin Svechnikov or Zadina will be a Hab, and that makes me reeeeal excited!

[Chris]

That's what i was wondering, if those 2 wingers were that much better than the others, sounds like they are

[sakiqc]

that Vegas-San Jose 2nd period is dragging on.. bring on the intermission already !

[DON]

Announce the top three already!!!

[Meller93]

Heeeeeere we go!

[dlbalr]

#3 it is.

[Meller93]

3rrrrddd, I mean we still have reason to celebrate fellas!

[DON]

Oh well, maybe we will get it next year.

[Chris]

Are Zadina and Svechnicov both RW's?

BOOOOO

 

Hard to be too grouchy, though, about moving up a pick - and at the expense of those sh*tbags the Sens, to boot 

[JGC21]

Zadina it is!  He can play either RW or LW I assume.

[illWill]

Ugh.....

 

If I am the GM I trade the pick

No doubt the Habs will force him to play C 

[Commandant]

It will be  dahlin 1

Svechnikov 2

 

Zadina looks like 3... but its not clear cut.  1 and 2 are locks imo.

 

I dont think zadina is a lock

Really? 3rd overall is that bad? Develop this thought

[BCHabnut]

So with a probable 1st line lw a year away,  it might be wise to trade pacioretty early.  Try to get that centre prospect.

Probably the ideal position to consider it.

I watched Zadina play 2 playoff games in the Q in person, and I was not impressed at all. He also doesn't fill any organizational need. Good enough?

Zednik, Zubrus, Zholtok, Zalapski - Zadina on the Habs just feels right to me.

[Machine of Loving Grace]

Oh you know he's taking Tkachuk.

Organizational need?  Habs need players who can score.  Zadina can do that.

I suppose the question is whether there is any prospect in that 3-7 range that projects as a top-liner or a top-pairing D-man. It doesn't *have* to be Zadina. But given that the Habs are presumably 'retooling,' not rebuilding, trading the pick to get back a young-ish player who fills one of our glaring needs could well make sense. It'll be interesting to see how MB plays it.
