Here was his writeup: #75 – Montreal Canadiens – Vinzenz Rohrer, RW, Ottawa 67’s (OHL) If Lutz has a legitimate chance of still being on the board at 61, the Habs might need to get lucky to find Rohrer still available this late. He is a strong board presence despite his smaller stature. One of the youngest draft-eligible players, Rohrer doesn’t shy away from physical play and wins more than his fair share of puck battles. This is a very Gallagher/Harvey-Pinard pick and one that is quite logical this late in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 We're about 7 picks away from Montreal's next pick and Logan Morrison is still on the board. The Habs would have seen him plenty this season with Mysak and Xhekaj on the Bulldogs and this is around where I've been expecting him to go.

dlbalr Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 We're five picks away from the Habs having three picks out of four. Morrison is still on the board and I'd be happy with him at one of these slots. Put him on an AHL deal next season and see if there's something there.

In the fifth round, I don't think there is much of a difference. But this makes sense, otherwise we'll run out of contract slots with the glut of prospects from this year.

dlbalr Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 One thing I'm surprised with is that 4 of the 6 picks so far have been CHL guys. Knowing they need to space the timelines out, I wouldn't be shocked if we see some international/college-bound picks coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Pick 162 - G Emmett Croteau. There's a college-bound pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Theres your late round goalie pick to roll the dice and see what happens. Headed to Clarkson University. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The Habs have two picks in the 7th round. Will they use both of them or will one be flipped for a 7th next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Pick 194 - D Petteri Nurmi - 20-year old d-man that played 58 games in Finland's top league last season. He's signed for two more years in that league so he's a stash pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Local HPK fans have been quite impressed by what he has been able to do at this age. But it's a big leap from there to making an NHL lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Montreal has had some success drafting older QMJHL players late in the draft lately (Harvey-Pinard and Simoneau). I wonder if they go that route here, especially since they haven't picked a QMJHL player yet. Miguel Tourigny would be a candidate. (I still want Morrison who is unpicked though.)

dlbalr Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 11 picks in total for the Habs. I didn't see them taking that many heading into the weekend. I'll link it again, the Day 2 article has a bunch of stats and scouting reports for (most of) Montreal's picks. http://www.habsworld.net/2022/07/day-2-of-the-2022-draft/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are going to love them 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a sense its like they are deferring picks to next year which also gives the new scouts and analysts an extra year to do their thing. Hopefully the time will help increase the chance of them finding some gems in later rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
