Adam Engstrom is a Bobrov-Lapointe pick, not a Trevor Timmins pick! 3rd round 92nd 2022 PS: message for Grant McCagg, Timmins drafts were better after the arrival of Shane Churla.
Exactly about Shane Shurla. Timmins always had excuses for his bad picks and liked to take credit for good picks that Shurla had made. If I remember Shurla made a comment alluding to that before he left. Shurla seemed frustrated. In the meanwhile Timmins got promoted and making the big bucks because he was Bergevin's workout buddy.
@@robertlegault9226 Timmins good picks: McDonagh, Sergashev, Caufield slipped and seemed like more than obvious choices to me. Churla knows how to gauge the “impact” a prospect projects to have in the NHL. Timmins is the champion to draft picks who reaches the NHL but without impact. Even drafting Carey Price was a big mistake. You may adore Price but building a team doesn't start with a star goalie. Rebuild is always best served by the best D or C possible. Kopitar and Doughty were decisive elements in winning two cups, J. Quick drafted in the second round was a perfect complement. Want to know who Timmins would have drafted before Price if he had been available??? Benoit Pouliot OUCH!!! He is an absolutely perfect player for all the elements he possesses without ever having a tangible impact on the game. This sums up Timmins. From my living room I always had a better selection than Timmins before the arrival of Churla, how is this possible? example: I am French but I would never have drafted Leblanc, my pick would have been Ryan O'Reilly drafted in the second round... I have may other examples
@@danielmontreal007 I feel like I wrote what you just said myself. To end, Timmins was goid at " vendre sa salade" after drafts as if he drafted hidden jewels that only a genius like him would find. Everybody would be excited only to find his picks being flops a few years latter. That's how he kept his job by being a litrle bull...ibg weasel. Even Patrick Roy said everybody knows drafting is Montreal's peoblem
Benson is small, Caufield is small, Hutson is small, every year NHL teams pass on smaller guys, and then regret it. But I do agree size matters, that's why the Habs need Cayden Lidstrom! Imagine a Dach Slafkovsky Lidstrom line 😳...all 6'4" with skills
Totally agree with you! Habs need to continue on that trend of drafting or trading for good big size players and Hughes has preached and emphasized on that so far and I expect him to continue doing this for the next couple more drafts. That line u mentioned is very salivating indeed, however it will be even more awesome to have our first two lines well spread out to be a hard team to play against in the not-to-distant future. So yes, Habs should tremendously focus on drafting Cayden Lindstrom! Imagine Hab's future top two lines: 1. Caufield, Suzuki, Slafkosky 2. Newhook, Dach, Lindstrom Now that would be sick! ☝🏼😳
Looks like Habs will miss out on Lindstrom. Most likely will be gone at 7/8. Habs are trying to win for some reason, and have no desire to finish bottom 5.
I hope they trade their 7th or whatever pick and their other first round pick with a young Dman like Harris to move into the top 5 to draft Lindstrom! @@jeffreynoury1637
@@jeffreynoury1637 I disagree with your take but I respect it. Of the remaining games(which is about a dozen), the Habs I still believe will finish between 28th - 25th spot which is 6th - 8th spot for the lottery standings. Cayden Lindstrom is actually listed to be picked within that range according to many scouts and experts. And don't be surprised if K.Hughes does some draft trade maneuvering just to get Cayden Lindstrom. He is arguably the best Power forward of this upcoming draft.
Iginla plays a physical game. He looks for contact goes in the corners wins a lot of battles. Catton does none of that and it matters a whole lot in the nhl
Of course the dream scenario outside of Celebrini is Lindstrom... 6'4'' 215 lbs... 2 years from now you might be able to create a ''legion of doom'' kind of line with Dach and Slaf... Nobody would be able to stop them!
I agree with everything Grant and Rock said we need size upfront and big D. You need big physical players come playoff time. Can't wait to see Arber and Florian Xhekaj when Habs finally make the playoffs
You need size and sandpaper on D, but, paired with another D who can clear the D-Zone quickly with skill and good puck management decisions. Centers with good size and a power forward on 1 wing and a skill scorer who can draw attention and create space for his linemates on the other. The forward group has to be committed to playing a 200 foot game regardless of the structure and system.
Although I agree in the Grand Scheme of things… If the player on the board at the draft is EXCEPTIONAL skill-wise and the small guy you ALREADY have… aren’t THAT skilled… You can just… Move the OTHER smaller guys… and draft the one who is exceptionally skilled. i.e : pick Catton, get rid of Gallagher & RHP That being said tho… If I have the choice between Lindstrom or Catton… I’m taking Lindstrom
I want to see McCagg give a prospect review on Florian! I think he'll be a stud just like his Brother! I think he'll suprise people at training camp and come close to or making the Habs next season.
Sid is 5'11". 200 pounds with legs like tree trunk, I dare to say in the top 10% of strength in the league. Catton is built very differently, he is 5"10, 170 pounds with his equipment wet. Not comparable.
Correct. Which I don’t think Grant & Rocco disagreed with. They specifically said : “Sure, guys like Crosby & Bedard are successful despite being under 6feet but Catton is NOT Crosby or Bedard”
Cost is likely going to be too high. Teams can ask for the Moon… just to move up few spots when we’re talking Top-5 at the draft. Swapping picks to move up 2-3 spots… in the 3rd round… doesn’t cost That much. But moving from 6th to 3rd OA…. that’s a whole other story
It's not a bad draft class at all. The drop off in talent from the 4th round through the 7th is negligible in terms of development over a period of 3-5 years.
Last thing- more of a question. Why are scouts so concerned about an inch or 2 of height...I can understand if a guy is short and slight- but if a guy is 5'11 and thick like Nick Suzuki...I don't see it impacting a teams ability to compete in the playoffs. If they can play heavy- I don't care if they are an inch shorter...
@@bigtimetimmyjim2104 100% agree my Father is 5’11 and my Brother is 6 foot tall and the difference between them is non existent they literally look like they are the same height…
Everyone who says dumb shit like that should go watch a Vancouver game or two. See who has a greater physical presence out of 6'2" Pettersson or his linemate 5'9" Höglander. What's in between the ears, athleticism, balance, power, frame, weight, there's so much stuff that matters more than height when it comes to physicality in hockey. And if they are thinking of stuff like poke checking then reach and stick length still matters more than the player's height.
Also, I agree that Habs would have too many undersized guys if they add Catton- doesn't mean you can't move off Mesar if you feel you've drafted someone who is a better fit.
at 7 i think they go iginla or yakemchuk, the rankings after 3 are all over the place, the top 5 d are better rated than any habs d prospect including guhle, no reason to on one for a reach of a forward.

Don’t look at Iginla’s points and be fooled by them, He’s going to be a 30+ goal scorer point per game potential, He’s exactly what this team needs… the Habs drafted Slafkovsky because they saw his character and his willingness to be the best he can be and they also saw his game translates to the NHL perfectly, We are seeing that now with Slaf… Slaf was not that great in TPS Turku but that’s because the style of play did not fit his game… Iginla will fit the NHL like a glove and I hope we draft him… Habs will not have any chance at Lindstrom he’s doing top 3 in my opinion and the only other power forward in this draft with sky high potential is Iginla….
Love your outlook and positivity but they are presently undersized compared to playoff teams. That will change but a top 2 D that 6’2 is a pick I would make over a smaller forward. We have to remember next year is another bottom 10 finish before we win the cup

@@Lebowski55 Of course, he’s not gonna be physical on the big players. but you can still defend well if you’re great with your stick (I’m talking for pokechecks here, not crosschecks )

Difference for me with Catton and Benson is ability/willingness to win 50/50 puck battles. I was willing to overlook size with Benson because he is a beast in the corners- Catton is definitely not that.
Gally will be a fringe player on the 4th line we are obligated to keep because of his contract but the other two aren’t gonna be around when we’re competitive
Habs are not taking a D in my opinion… so the 6 best forwards in this draft are Celebrini, Demidov, Lindstrom, Catton, Iginla and Eiserman in that order in my opinion… Top 3 forwards will be gone before we pick, Catton will likely be gone before 7th overall, That leaves Eiserman and Iginla for the Habs… I take Iginla over Eiserman alllll dayyy lonnnggg… Iginla plays with more grit, has a great shot, Goes to the dirty areas, Better defensively and also grew up with a father like Jerome Iginla… Eiserman does not work hard enough for me and he reminds of a player with an electric shot and nothing else…

Grant, learn to keep your ego in check. Your attitude is borderline rude and unpleasant. I don't know if you're upset at having to share the spotlight or what. Correcting people saying: "I'm the one that said that", talking down to others. I come here to listen to your takes, which are generally excellent. You killed it at the last draft. But you got to chill out. The guys seem to be walking on eggshells when talking to you. I love what you guys are doing but lose the tension.
I look at other teams rosters and are all big players. We mustv remember how the Bruins goons attacked our small players. I'm sorry but I DO NOT want to see that again. We can only afford ONE player 5'9" and under. Size still matters!
Caufield, who I love, was a 15th overall pick because of his size. Montreal got lucky, and he’s better than a lot of prayers ahead of him, but it’s for sure why he dropped
They mentioned about 5 times “there’s a point where it doesn’t matter how big you are, you’re just the best, period. like Crosby or Bedard.” Patrick Kane is exactly that. Nice try tho
Why ? Because lists have him in the 2nd round ? So you’re saying… lists NEVER make mistake ? and that it NEVER happens that a great player ends up being overlooked you’re saying it NEVER happens that a great player comes out from later rounds ?
Watch Catton be another Benson where he slides out of the top 10 and ends up being legit. Dude is playing on a non-playoff team. There are no other good prospects on Spokane with him. Every advanced model says he's a guaranteed top 6 forward on a team

Let's bring a Russian contingent in Montreal!! Demidov with our pick and Surin with the Jets 1st. Da!!
That’d be a dream 😍
Roy is 6 feet.
I look at other teams rosters and are all big players. We mustv remember how the Bruins goons attacked our small players. I'm sorry but I DO NOT want to see that again. We can only afford ONE player 5'9" and under.
Size still matters!
Caufield, who I love, was a 15th overall pick because of his size. Montreal got lucky, and he’s better than a lot of prayers ahead of him, but it’s for sure why he dropped
Catton is comparable to Point Hagel Kucherov. All 5 11 or shorter skilled top 6 he isn't soft...
I totally agree with you guys James Van Riemsdyk ended up being the better player than Patrick, Kane L O L
They mentioned about 5 times
“there’s a point where it doesn’t matter how big you are,
you’re just the best, period.
like Crosby or Bedard.”
Patrick Kane is exactly that.
Nice try tho
Surin first round would be a Brain Rot move
Why ? Because lists have him in the 2nd round ?
So you’re saying… lists NEVER make mistake ?
and that it NEVER happens
that a great player ends up being overlooked
you’re saying it NEVER
happens
that a great player comes out from later rounds ?
Catton have great stats but play in a easier league to put points on the board than OHL.
Watch Catton be another Benson where he slides out of the top 10 and ends up being legit.
Dude is playing on a non-playoff team. There are no other good prospects on Spokane with him. Every advanced model says he's a guaranteed top 6 forward on a team
Zzzzz these guys, what does it matter If Suzuki is half an inch shorter than 6 feet he wins tons of his battles in the corners.
You know you don’t have to watch the podcast, right ?
Grant comes off as someone who is extremely thin skinned
With some due respect, that is just way to much time talking about Cotton. State the case and move on
nah
I don’t agree. It’s a good thing to develop on certain players
If you made a profile of all the least likable things about a sports fan, McCagg.would hit on every one. 🙄
just because he doesn't like the same NHL prospects as you.
