Gleb Pugachyov - Montreal Canadien

[CH1]

Did we really need to trade up?

Only the Habs know Russians

they must have known other teams had eyes on him...

tho, he does sound like a project

Seems like we drafted for need over BPA.

26th pick in a weak draft…..Habs did good….and judging by their reaction, they must’ve known other teams were in on this player

6’3, very good skater, one of the most physical player in the draft….that’s all Demidov needs

TVA hinting that Habs must have heard Flyers were gonna pick him

I dunno if that’s ex post rationalization or story fabrication, but I loathe the Flyers so it’s accepted.

He needs a centre

As most hockey pundits said: after the top two picks, it could go in any direction

You’re not gonna find one with the 26th pick in a so-called weak draft….they decided to pick a player that has the speed and size to follow Habs system…..i’ll give them the benefit of the doubt

Looks like he'll need a new number.

I guess he only scored one goal

Can’t teach speed and size…and he seems to have decent hands

You said that's all Demidov needs

Just responding to that

 

[CH1]

Demidov needs to adjust to playoff hockey. A lot of people are saying he never will.
