I prefer Buium to Dickinson.I don't let some stud D go by for Iginla
Why? Are they drafting the Norwegian guy at 5OA?I’m ready for the 3rd consecutive draft day meltdown by Habs fandom
too weird a nameI prefer Buium to Dickinson.
If Demigod is not available at 5OA, anyone they draft, including Lindstrom will set off a shitstorm, and that doesn’t include the meltdown if trading down or trading the pick for an established playerWhy? Are they drafting the Norwegian guy at 5OA?
But one can play than 2 games a yearNo one said Habs should,HuGo also don’t care which players fans are lukewarm to.
As for Sergachev, HuGo also traded Romanov to be able to acquire Dach - doesn’t look lopsided at all
Columbus is all that stops it IMOThe only meltdown I’ll have is if Demidov is available and we pass on him
Which will set off the shitstorm..Columbus is all that stops it IMO
Hawks have too many short finesse forwards in the system , desperate for top pair D
Ducks are loaded with skill and size upfront
I think Lindstrom goes to CBJ
I get this feeling Senneke is our guy
I promise you Hawks are better than 50/50 to take Demidov.Columbus is all that stops it IMO

I have my reservations on Zegras as well. But that’s always the issue with the “draft D, trade D for forwards” philosophy. All the forwards that will be available for trade will have the same concerns, why would a team trade a young talented forward if there is no concerns with him? We will have to trade for a Zegras-type forward down the line if we draft a D. Different flaws but most certainly some flaws.I'm not interested in Zegras. His skill & point totals are nice, but there's no edge to his game and I don't think it's normal that a team in the depth of the NHL is trying to trade a 22 year old 2nd line center.
Sorry, there's a reason they're trying to get rid of him. I'm not looking to take on another team's problem.
The mistake we made was to let Philly trade Gauthier to Anaheim, unfortunately. That was the trade to make.
I feel like Seguin was a way better player when he was traded than currently with Zegras, who gives me extreme Robbie Schremf energyI have my reservations on Zegras as well.

That being said, wasn’t it a bit the same situation with Seguin when he was traded?
Also if Gauthier didn’t want to play for Philly, he wouldn’t have wanted to play here either.

I'm not sure he didn't want to play for Philly because of the city. Apparently, he got pissed off at them when they didn't want to sign him to an ELC after his first year in the NCAA. Now, whether or not that's true... We'll continue to speculate.I have my reservations on Zegras as well. But that’s always the issue with the “draft D, trade D for forwards” philosophy.

He was traded at 21, best season with Bruins he had 67 points, then a disappointing 32 in 48 points after the lockout. But he was a 2nd overall.I feel like Seguin was a way better player when he was traded than currently with Zegras, who gives me extreme Robbie Schremf energy
I agree that Gauthier would have been a great fit, I still suspect we might have had a hard time signing him. But who knows, it's all speculation.I'm not sure he didn't want to play for Philly because of the city.

But Cutter Gauthier would have been the exact type of player this team needs. Besides Slafkovsky, I would have traded any player/prospect on this team to get him.
For Seguin, his situation is different. He was an immature kid that produced in the playoffs on a Cup contending team, as opposed to a bottom of the barrel team like Anaheim. Was it more management or the players that got fed up with him? I always thought it was a bit of both, but possibly a little more with management.
They lost in the finals that year to Chicago.I agree that Gauthier would have been a great fit, I still suspect we might have had a hard time signing him. But who knows, it's all speculation.
Produced in the playoffs is a bit much, he had 1G 7A in 22 games in their Cup year.
