Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 44 minutes ago, DON said: Similar to another WHL d-man; Kevin Korchinski 58pts 61gms, another projected mid 1st round pick that might be good choice if available, or perhaps move up to get. Need Flames to flame out the last bit of season and get punted in 1st round. Yes, don't want the Flames to make the conference final as much as I would like to see Toffoli do well. Mateychuk is a good one and will likely be gone before the Habs draft with their 2nd 1st round pick. I was hoping for a top 3 pick in the 1st round but the Habs are playing too well, beating even the top teams so I expect they will easily finish ahead of Seattle/Arizona, will likely catch Philly who is terrible and might catch one of Ottawa/Jersey. I expect they will draft in the 4-7 slot. On the positive side, it is fun and encouraging to see the kids develop. And if they want to move up in the draft to get someone they really want they have a ton of extra picks to sweeten the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Hoping they find a quick skilled puck moving d-man somewhere in the next two drafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Generally projected in the top 5 ... RHD with decent size for an 18 yr-old (6'1", 192 lbs) ... Slovakia is a decent league but no KHL/SM-liiga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slovakia is a decent league but no KHL/SM-liiga. Nemec is certainly highly rated and from what I have read he is likely the 1st defenseman off the board. Nice to see Ottawa win today.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 YES!! A very good night so far. Didn't expect Philly to win in New York. That's a bonus. Can Seattle top it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, almost a perfect night (just a needed a Jersey win) but more than you could realistically hope for. So the Habs have had some fun, they beat Toronto, won a game in Tampa for their coach, they deserve a little rest against Ottawa and Jersey before going into Toronto and beating the Leafs yet again.

I keep reading about the kids supposedly in the 20-40 range and seem to be some promising kids for sure (i suppose similar to every year). How good/deep this year is, will shall see in a few years. But, having 2 picks on the 1st day should help the prospect pool for sure. Habs have had numerous 2nd round picks and hit/miss as expected: Duds: Collberg/Thrower/delaRose/Brook/Ikonen/Olofsson/Fucale Hits: Lehkonen/Romanov/Ylonen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Brook a writeoff now? Our D prospect pool is suddenly much deeper but does he still have some trade value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one is definitely no. Is he a write-off? It depends on this knee thing - is it something that he'll need a few months to realistically get back into playing form? If so, then it's worth a one-year deal to give him one more crack. But if he's close to as healthy as he's going to get, then perhaps they'll decide to cut bait.

alfredoh2009 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 would it be possible that if the Habs do not win the lottery that they trade down for the other team's 1st and an additional 2nd? For example, with the Kraken or the Blue Jackets? I would not mind Savoie and another 2nd or Nemec and another 2nd Instead of one of the Finns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them moving picks in a trade for a player. Or trading up in the draft getting a higher pick than calgarys pick, or getting a third first, or higher second round picks... rather than trading down and getting more picks.

Habs will need to give picks with Petry to cull terminate him. a couple of late 2nd round picks may do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree ... not what it was last season but still value ... they may need to take back an expiring "poor/bad" contract as part of a deal to make the cap work.
