I like how dach is working out, but i think the price was high. I wouldn’t move a top ten pick for another winger. We have bigger holes to address.

I'm merely saying that the 8th overall pick isn't bad value based on the precedent of what Dach was worth. Should we make the trade given our current needs? I agree with you in that I'd rather use the pick on a defenceman. That said, there is maybe one defenceman worth a top 10 pick in this draft, so we might be drafting a forward with that hypothetical pick anyways.

Value-wise, 8 for Lafreniere probably is in the right range. But it's not a move I'd make if I was Montreal, especially in the scenario presented with Montreal winning the lottery.

I don’t know why we’d move a draft from this year for anyone. Even if we did want to roll the dice on Lafraniere, it’s a totally different situation with the Rangers. Unlike the Hawks they are in win now mode. If we are going to bring in a winger we should be trying to move out a winger like Anderson. Take a bad st contract back, and that should be enough to get a deal done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Great to see Florida lose today. A two game winning streak is enough! Their season is 1/2 over and they will need to go on a pretty good run to have shot at a playoff spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true ... the essence of my point is that he is doing it himself ... not being Warren Young carried on Mario Lemieux's back (WY that season scored 56% of his NHL goals in 34% of his NHL games) ... MM is most impressive ... but in the current political climate may make it a risk to draft him no matter how talented he shows himself to be.

Why not take a shot at a potential home run pick if he falls outside of the top five-- since we could have two ten picks. Hurray for Sergei Bobrovsky-- my favorite NHL player not on the Canadiens!

Neech Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 McCagg on Marinaro a few days ago said that he didn't think the Habs would draft any Russian players, and whether or not his intel is right I imagine there are a few NHL clubs thinking along these lines. This could be a recipe for Michkov to fall into our lap, and I saw a stats guy on twitter saying that MM is one of the best European prospects we've ever seen based on the numbers.
