well at least he didn't shit on him...Yup. Just saw it. Very stupid given the circumstances.

Yes. Highest pick we can have next year is second overall if we make the playoffs.He said next year.
It's so convoluted that I can't say for certain, but now that I re-read it, I think you're right.Yes. Highest pick we can have next year is second overall if we make the playoffs.
Unless I'm missing something else.

Scenario: In the event CGY receives FLA’s 2025 1st round pick:
1. If both CGY AND FLA’s picks are NOT top 10, MTL will receive the better of the CGY and FLA 2025 1st round picks. Result: TBD
2. If CGY’s pick is top 10, AND FLA’s pick is NOT top 10, MTL receives FLA’s pick. Result: TBD
Scenario: In the event CGY does NOT receive FLA’s 1st round pick:
Sub-scenario: CGY’s pick is NOT top 10
1. MTL will receive the CGY pick, and
2. If FLA’s pick is not top 10, is a better pick than CGY’s, and was transferred to another team due to prior conditions, MTL will also receive CGY’s 2025 4th round pick.
Result: TBD
Sub-scenario: CGY’s pick is top 10:

It sure ended that way. But I argue that if it went as intended, and he knocked Ritchie off the puck shoulder-to-shoulder, it would've been viewed differently. I guess my point is, that I don't believe he was headhunting. But I do agree maybe he went in there a bit too aggressively. And it obviously cost him and inevitably, his team. This kid has some real issues to be concerned about. Although there are some myths (like shitting in a hockey bag). But in a pure hockey sense, he's a very talented player and from accounts is liked by his teammates. Just like Maillioux. There are issues, he's really young, and word is he's come a long way from the issues that were raised over a year ago. Guess we'll see how it all plays out in the end.That was a very dangerous move to a defenseless player already engaged in a puck battle.
Exactly. Our optimum outcome is that it gets deferred to 2026 where there are ZERO conditions on the CGY pick. It's next year that is 1OA protected. And I don't even want to try and rehash the different conditions that will dictate the outcome, lol. Took some serious thinking and detail to make this trade. LOLI think he is referencing this for 2026

In theory we could get McKenna and a 3rd rounder...
Calgary would have to win lotto in back to back years. Would be amazing though.Exactly. Our optimum outcome is that it gets deferred to 2026 where there are ZERO conditions on the CGY pick.

If only we could send Ralph Backstrom to whatever team may be poised to finish below them, lol.Calgary would have to win lotto in back to back years. Would be amazing though.
As much as I hope Habs win Celebrini lottery, I’d prefer walking away from draft w Demigod + EisermanDemigod is also touted for his compete level without the puck and his strong work ethic -- both qualities that some scouts questioned about Michkov
Mailloux was a 30tj overall pick. No issues with taking a chance on Connelly with Winnipeg pick, but no chance anyone is picking him top 10, even top 15 is a stretchIt sure ended that way.

Over Celebrini???As much as I hope Habs win Celebrini lottery, I’d prefer walking away from draft w Demigod + Eiserman
They won't take a Russian with the first pickAs much as I hope Habs win Celebrini lottery, I’d prefer walking away from draft w Demigod + Eiserman
No, I meant not winning lottery, Demigod w their existing pick + find a way to grab another pick and hope Eiserman drops to 10-14 to select himOver Celebrini???
