2023 Draft and UFA Thread

[Habsy]

And the rest of his family gets wiped out too.

Only if they know he cared about them. Grab mom and run.

 

[GEEMAN]

I'm a risk taker. I've made a fuck ton of money and lost a fuck ton in my life. I take the kid.

Simply put Habs cant get fucked with this pick

Oh ya? Why?

 

[Habsy]

If you could get a potential 100-125 point player (or more who even knows) at five and you have a 75/25 or even 50/50 shot of him coming over you fucking do it. You cry about elite talent every year then don't have the balls to go for it. Come on now.

Yah. Onboard with that. Git ‘er dun.

Have to nail this pick , possibly last top 5 pick we get

I have no issue if Habs will not risk it on Michkov or even move down

I still think Carlsson falls to us

 

[Habsy]

Didn't answer my question

 

[Sal_Butera]

Granted it was a completely different geo-political era… recall Malkin had a 3-year KHL deal in place prior to being drafted by Pens in 2004 and negotiated his way out of the deal after 2-seasons.

At the end of the day NHL is unmatched in terms of best combination of lucrative remuneration + business stability + luxury amenities of any pro level hockey league…

Nobody thought Kaprizov would come over either.

Hence why he dropped to 5th round

 

[CH1]

Apples to Oranges.

Kaprizov was a 5th round punt

Plus he stayed in the KHL for 5 years

 

[Habsy]

Exactly my point though. Easily a top five pick. Don't make that mistake. Slim is better.

It's not in context I'm using

you're a peach either way

The issue isnt the fear of drafting Michkov , simply is he coming over or the KHL giving him a lucrative offer to stay home

Aka the fear

I’d be shocked if Carlsson is there for us

Hellarious how Geeman now wants a safe third liner type of pick

 

[Stinky]

Carlsson isn’t a third liner.

He's big.

He's big.

Barlow is not big though.
