2023 Draft and UFA Thread

[lecoqsportif]

That was a shit draft.

 

[Rolex]

And we made the best we could out if it

That was a shit draft.

A lot of NHL drafts are shit.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Have Habs picking Leonard

 

[Stinky]

And we made the best we could out if it

Chuckie became Domi who became Andy’s boy.

 

[Krustchev]

Because we could just as easily get another Kotkaniemi or Galchenyuk.

I doubt it this year.

 

[Rolex]

This year, we need to nail it….top 5 in a great draft class….we need to get a top center, or a goal scoring freak at wing….no two-way safe player, no safe #3-4 dmen. Pick the most talented player available

 

[Sal_Butera]

Not all draft classes are the same. This is the best harvest in years.

As disappointing as Galchenyuk was, he has the 3rd most goals scored among that draft class

McGuire was saying GMs think this draft lacks depth past top-10

 

[Rolex]

Have Habs picking Leonard

Can’t see how you pick Leonard over the Russian

 

[Rolex]

McGuire was saying GMs think this draft lacks depth past top-10

Luckily for us, since we’re picking 5th, Chiggins’ statement about the deepest draft in years remains true

 

[CH1]

McGuire was saying GMs think this draft lacks depth past top-10

Luckily we’re drafting in the top 10. We need high end.

 

[Habsy]

I want the Russian….he’s supposedly the second best talent behind Bedard (might even turn out better)

We all do Rolex. This won't be one of your calls that we will hear about for another decade.

 

[Rolex]

Habs brass don’t need to overthink this….take whomever is left at #5 between Smith or the Russian….no reaching like KK pick

 

[CH1]

For comparison, Slaf’s tool kit/numbers land him around 7th-9th this year (according to those who study such things)

 

[Rolex]

Still not over my Brady Tkatchuk call ?

 

[CH1]

….no reaching like KK pick

…. And no hot goalie prospect in range

Easy, low risk vs high risk.

 

[Rolex]

I think Slaf will be a better player down the road that a lot of the top 10 this year….his size and speed combo will allow him to dominate.

 

[Stinky]

Bust.

You weren't alone
