Lindstrom 6,3 always injure a big guy like that its sus

Some people say xhekaj to calgary for the 9 pick i agree

Neither I want Tig Iginla or Berkeley Catton

Thats ‘’ WHAT’’ is a piece of history right here !!!!

Good thing Rocco keeps his emotions in check, or else this podcast would go off the rails :)

good stuff

I can only assume that yet again all people do is look at point production.I watched a few games with Sennecke and I don't see why people think he is a future star imo he is a good skater but very average hockey skills.This is what happens when playeres are better skaters they can find lots of holes at the junior hockey level that won't exist at the NHL level. The glaring thing I don't like about Sennecke is that he gets rid of the puck very quickly it is like he is afraid to carry it. Another player that is very similar is Logan Stankovan of Dallas yeah I know he was also a great point producer and has done decently in the NHL but Dallas has a deep team so he gets quality linemates on any line he plays.Stankovan is like Sennecke not an impact leader someone who can elevate an average line and turn it into a great line he is like Sennecke more of a fill in player that needs quality around him for him to succeed.

Celebrini and Demidov. The rest are any kind 😇

Tij Iginla my choice. Reminds me a lot, for his play style a young Brad Marchand with better shot and less agressive.

Taking Sennecke at 5 is lunacy. Maybe 10. Him vs Lindstrom isn't even a debate.

Either one over Iginla

you guys got hilariously terrible information on Michkov

Zero reason to take Sennecke at 5 if either Demidov or Lindstrom are still available. If they are trading down to get him, then there better be a goal scoring forward coming back in that trade. ESPN has Senneck at 14th, Bob McKenzie has him at 19th, so he will likely go 12-20th. Habs easily have the assets to trade back into the top 15 if they are that high on him, no need to waste the 5th pick on him

If Lindstrom is available the habs would be brain dead like these guys to pass up on him why they are afraid of drafting elite forwards makes no sense even the defence being drafted by Hugh’s are lucky if they become 3-4 d

The habs draft like shit most years so wouldn’t be shocked if they did something stupid again just like last year drafting a 4-5 defensemen 🥳

Dach is our press box center indeed

The purpose of a scout is prediction. I think that Grant is basing his opinions of Dach primarily on his talent and potential while Rocco is focusing on past performance. Grant makes a very convincing argument for Sennecke. The factor that I assume neither Grant nor Rocco have over the Canadiens' scouts is insight into the prospects' attitudes and maturity.

Ottawa would Never Draft Yakemchuk over Levshunov

I agree Wyatt and Rope definitely better than Dach. I feel a little habs bias here.....

I like sennecke more than lindstrom but understand the high floor of lindstrom

People are sleeping on Berglund!

The habs dont need another Jish Anderson and I think Lindstrom may be that. Senece may be the guy.

Great show.

Great show as always guys. I like both of the players that you did your analysis on but I wouldn't be surprised if Kent Hughes picks a right handed defenseman and trade for a high end winger...

Habs fan here, the habs lack goal scoring above all else. My thoughts were draft the best goal scorer available and trade a young LS dman and the later 1st for the best scorer they can get. All that being said i dont know if Eisenman is the best pick at 5 i think Lidstrom and Iginla are better choices but its down to those 3 for me

This discussion is moot given some mock drafts indicate Demidov could fall to 5th. As Rocco said, Dach is always injured so can you count on him? If Demidov isn't available then definitely go for Lindstrom or Iginla. Pedigree counts! We lost out big time with Tkachuk given Bergie preferred KK who will probably be bought out at some point. Rocco, pleased to hear you hold your own versus Grant The Bully. Go Habs Go!!!

Habs need to trade up to 12th to 15th from the Jets pick. I think this should be Hughes' top priority.

Best show on youtube

For me it's pretty simple at 5th overall, you pick either who's left of Lindstrom/Demidov, and if they are both gone, you take a really good consolation price in Tij Iginla. Thats it. You can't go wrong with any of these kids. I have my doubts with Sennecke, he was only just over a point per game this year in the OHL. I know he was very domimant in the playoffs and the size and silky mitts and all that but I'm a bit worried at picking a "very" late riser at 5th overall, reminds me a lot of KK where he was picked 3rd overall and everyone thought KK had a "heigh celling". I don't gamble at 5th overall, i go for the highest floor in Lindstrom or Iginla over Sennecke. For me there's no debate. If the Habs think Sennecke is their guy, they ABSOLUTELY need to trade down a few ranks to get him, there are too many good quality dmen in the top 10 that I'm pretty sure Sennecke would be available at the 9-12th overall spot

I think Chicago likely goes Levshunov. Following the team, every credible source has been debating between Levshunov and Demidov. I saw a bit of conversation around Lindstrom, but that significantly quieted down after the lottery. Silayev is a name that I have only really seen mentioned by outside sources.

Moving up will cost and we have lotsa' D and trading Roy is a loss so trade Matheson and keep Savard as our veteran. but a large forward seems likely. We have Suzuki at 210 lbs, Dach, Slav, and Armia on our fourth line. Priority is not size. A play driver like Catton would add more to the TEAM concept and a need for variety. Catton has it all and needs weight which is simple to solve. Catton pound for pound is the best forward in the draft and the play driver will add more to the TEAM. Size is easy to find but a solid play driver will win hockey games. Lafleur, Richard, etc were all under 6ft but were Giants and were play drivers. We cant pass up on this opportunity. Pick Catton! Sennecke and Catton but for me Catton is my pick !

Habs need bulk. Lindstrom. If Hughes and Gorton deek out the fans again, it will be interesting.

Suzuki is a very good two, on a contender. Dach, who knows. Habs need something of an upgrade up the middle, for sure.

Is Lindstrom comparable to Monahan or Lindholm? Sounds bigger than both but there all around game is high.

Take Senecke, the size and hands, skating! He will fill out and be even more dominant! I bet he plays center next year in the OHL and dominates! At a skinny 6'3 he was an aggressive hitter wait until he's 215-220lbs! Habs have done great betting on late bloomers, Xhekaj bros!

at 5 Catton/lindstrom and move win pick ++ for nygard or connelly

The take on Lindstrom's playmaking is just ignorant. The reason he rose so high at the start of the year was his big improvement in that facet. His playmaking numbers this year were great. You're forcing an argument here where the only real concern with Lindstrom is his injuries.

Sennecke

Florian Xhekaj better than Lindstrom

Cole Hutson better than Celebrini

Yes Grant Habs need a winger more than anything else, but the last time Habs selected "on need", they picked Kotkaniemi and what a flop that was. Lindstrom can play both center and left wing and is a safer pick. Just like Kirby Dach can play center and right wing. *But for me, Berkley Catton is much safer and smarter pick, and he would fit perfectly with the Habs type of play. Smart playmaker and goes to the net without fear.*

If Lindstrom didn’t get injured I would lean towards him. Sennecke is smarter. He looks like Corey Perry.

Damnn I wish we can draft Demidov or Levshunov at five (MTL)

There is no way that Demidov falls to #5. Keep dreaming Montreal fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sennecke more likely Pick around #9 to #16 and should not fall any further.

Brett Hull was also a one trick pony type guy that couldn't be stopped

Personally, I see Lindstrom more as a PowerForward winger (in the mold of a Brady Tkachuk) rather than a center (for what that’s worth 😅🤷‍♂️)

Lindstrom? He has a bad back and it’s pretty obvious , he skates upright and always has , this guy has had a bad back since birth and his stats are average As for Sennecke , come on 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ If the habs Draft sennecke or Lindstrom a 5th than their whole scouting staff should be fired , Dickinson and Parekh have more points than Sennecke and they’re defensemen . 1. Celeb 2. Demidov 3. Silayev 4. Eiserman 5. Bettman will come up and , I have a trade to announce , the Montréal Canadiens trade the 5th overall …………..

Kreider is that the same player the Habs passed on to draft LeBlanc?

If you can't pick the russian player at 5th then they should pick Coal Yzerman :) then trade their second frist round pick to Chicago for their 2026 first round pick
