Gorton & Hughes are very intelligent, driven and they strive to be winners.
I trust their judgement 100%. We are in very capable hands.
Our team will be in good shape in another 2 to 3 years. (Meaning playoffs and/or Stanley Cup contenders IMO).
I certainly trust their judgment over a bunch of know-nothing internet comentators.
Draft Demidov at 5. Move up into the early teens and draft Sennecke. Along with Dach, Newhook and Roy most of the top 9 is done. Trade for a top 6 and the top 3 lines should be very good. Montreal has so many assets to do this.
I have a feeling that if Montreal cannot land Demidove or Lindstrom.... They will trade away their pick plus an asset
or two for a top 6 forward
Demidov won't be available at 5
To date,this is the most important draft in recent Habs history.
Yes, it is!
Iginla all the way
There is no guessing on him, youngest first round player in the draft, pedigree bloodline, character, well , playoff beast
I'm pretty sure they'd take Iginla if Lindstrom was avalaible. + Lindstrom has been injured half the last season and we got already Dach we don't know if he's part of the future because of that reason.. Iginla has everything and I believe Hughes played poker saying he's hard on Lindstrom
No thanks on Iginla.
Completely agree……remember when we chose KK over Tkachuk (legacy)😮
2nd youngest. Eiserman is the youngest. So Tij is a month older than Cole.
COME IN DEMIDOV PLEASEE 😅. HES THE NEXT KUCHEROV. Haha. Great show though Josh & Jesse as always. I really am a fan of Demidov. We need that raw skill offensively. Along with being another goal scorer as well i think he will be a 40-45 goal 50 assist 90 point top 6 forward year in and year out with 115+ potential in points.
If habd land demidov.... I think that will quicken the release of Caulfield
@@FooFahFoeFum Why? Just curious
@@FooFahFoeFum
You think it will give Caufield a faster slap shot?🤷🏻♂️😂
@@AshleyBidensBathTime If you are small like caufeild ...you better be extra fast ... better be extra strong .... better be extra feerless ... Cole is none of these ..
@@FooFahFoeFum
It’s not ideal but maybe he will end up being extra talented 🤷🏻♂️
If he realizes his potential and scores 40 goals a season I’ll learn to live with it 🙂
Keep in mind that Kent Hughes is more intelligent than any three sportswriters added together.
This comment section is more intelligent than most sports writers! 😅😅
Hughes is smart I agree....but is MSL pulling strings more than he should
TBH Hughes is just average,
@@bedbath9056
The Lehkonen trade was very questionable, but....
- Got 2 first round picks and 1.5 years of Monahan in exchange for a thank you email.
- Traded Petry for Matheson
- Romanov for Dach
- Traded away Chiarot for a 1st round and 4th round picks
- Drafted Hutson in 2nd round 2022
All this in 2 years.
@@bedbath9056
To be honest you are wrong 😂
If they are both there at 5, draft one and offer a package including your WPG 1st round pick, a second round and one of our Defenseman: ie Baron or Struble
Short of Reinhart of Guentzle, I just don't see it. And I doubt Florida lets Reinhart go.
Big game hunting in 2025? Sure. But not this summer
Josh, Jesse, you convinced me that Hughes has to go for both Demidov AND Lindstrom! Not sure if he could deal his way there, but wouldn't it be great if we had BOTH!
I really think Montreal is going for size and gritt .....if you pay attention in the playoffs if the players undersized they better be extra quick or extra strong or extra fearless
I think 3 D going before 5 is wistful thinking. My prediction is 2 D go before 5, and Habs get either Demadov or Lindstrom. Probably Lindstrom.
I mean Blue Jackets blue line is pretty trashy. Werenski has some injury history too
If teams still need to add some defense even if their offense isn't done yet, they will draft the most useful player at that spot.. It's D's draft and aside from Celebrini and Demidov, Dmans are much more interesting in the top 5. Demidov is so elite tho, to me he's the most talented of that whole draft!
This is off topic,although some were talking about Marner to the Habs-so unlikely and unwanted. Just saw a stat about him. In his playoff career,he has 6 minor penalties. 5 were pucks over the glass ( 2 against us). The kid gets rattled. Keep him away!
If Demidov is available for the habs and they don't have any red flags then you do it. They have inside knowledge through Bobrov's and Gorton connections we're told.
2023:
Picks the best D of the draft at 5 after seeing Will Smith going 4th. Lots of teams were calling Hughes about that pick too. They avoid risky Michkov who's attitude doesn't fit the team anyway.
2024:
Steal of the draft in terms of offensive talent potential. Hoping he would have a good attitude and learn and progress with the coaches and high IQ players.
About this draft the real question for me is:
- Excluding Celibrini, for obvious reasons, is there a player they absolutely want and who they expect will be gone by 5th and if so how much are they willing to trade for a bump or exchange and get their guy.
I guess we'll wait and potentially find out.
I still thinks Lindstrom is the man. The only reason I would take Demidov over him (if both are availlable of course) it would be because of his injury history. I know its not the intention, but when people compare the 2 it feels like they are comparing Josh Anderson vs Nikita Kutcherov. The talent is much closer than that. Without talking about the grit of Lindstrom.
I find it hard to believe Lindstrom or Demidov will be available @ 5…Nice to dream though…I think there’s a 95% chance both these guys are gone at 5.
Laine, Necas or Mittelstadt
Pierre McGuire I remember in 2012 said if he were the Montreal GM he would trade their first pick which was 3rd overall plus P.K. Subban to Edmonton for the first pick overall which was Yakupov! Even though it was a below average draft that trade would not have been good as even Galchenyuk was a lot better than that bust Yakupov.
Agree with you guys on Demidov. We need more 40+ goal scorers and Lindstrom doesn't look like one.
I just hope that it will be choosing from two great options, i dont care which one will it be. 😅
Montreal can get Martin Necas in a trade for a price they can live with. The Habs could even get him via an offer sheet, but that won't happen with these two teams. Too much bad history.
Carolina has too many contracts to square this off season, not sure they will have much leverage in terms of trading Necas. For the right price, Marty would be a great add.
I dont see demidov dropping to 5, the real question is lindstrom or iginla, and i’m leaning iginla just because lindstrom might have benefited playing with gavin mckenna, and the injury prone scare me a bit more than iginla’s size
Martin Necas would look so good in a HABS jersey...!!❤❤❤
What do you guys think of putting xhekaj on offense?
A la Byfuglien ! 100% Net front on the pp.
I wouldn't give a lot of term to the 28 and 29 year olds, but if they could get Stamkos or March on a deal that isn't too long I wouldn't be upset. They'd add some older leadership and experience to compliment the younger core and help bring them into their own, and they've both shown they're still more than capable of contributing at their current age. Yes they'll likely decline, but as long as it's not serious term I think it could be quite beneficial.
Lindstrom is surely a great choice, but watching replays of Demidov skating sideways, breaking the laws of physics, is something else 😉
As for the FA market, I have a feeling that HuGo, based on prior moves, will go off the board entirely to find what they are looking for.
Great show guys!
I don't know. Demidov his great but is skills outside of goal scoring is pretty lacking. I prefer a complete player like Lindstrom.
I think we're too early for FA's...doesn't yet fit the timetable. Either Demidov or Lindstrom would be awesome but if we somehow have a choice between both I'd go with Dermidov; can't pass up on superstar potential.
Folks, am I the only one thinking we have to cool the jets on Demidov and Lindstrom? I think they both have incredible potential however Demidov had knee surgery and that same knee was injured once again which diminished his games played. Lindstrom had wrist surgery and has struggled with his back injury. IMO Habs should draft someone healthy ie Tij, Sennacke, etc... I know Habs will do their due diligence however IMO lets stay away from injuries.
Even if demidov is available I'm still leaning toward Lindstrom.
Someone "big" this summer maybe, most probibly. Next summer is the real big game season. MTL will be much more attractive to free agents.
Demidov would be a dream 🤩
His skating style is something else, eh? Unreal on his edges.
Patrick Laine in Montreal is the best move this offseason of course for a reasonable trade!
If the Habs pass on Lindstrom, it would be because his back injury scares them off.
That and the confidence they have within the organization to bring developping prospects to full bloom. Track record so far is quite impressive (Caufield, SUzuki, Roy, Xhekaj, Slafkovsky, Guhle, Struble...). Lindstrom has the highest flloor, not the craziest ceiling. If his health ain't an issue, he's the safest bet... But they went for Slaf & Reinbacher, not the safe route.
Next yr has a way better crop of UFA’s and I think we should wait and see what we do at the draft and even start the season with no change.
With dach healthy and slaf starting to use his body our top 6 is not that small, plus suzuki that is hard to play against, we can definetely afford a 6ft high talent guy like demidov
No Big UFA this yr, we're not there yet
Lindstrom is going to be a 60-80 if not more
Big trade coming.
There’s no big game available , so not sure what the habs will be hunting
My guys are still Lindstrom, Inginla, and Sennecke. I think Hawks will take Demidov
P. Kane on a short-term deal could be interesting
Stamkos with Leaves; xcept they can t afford him..can they ?
I don't think Pierre McGuire was only referring to UFAs when it game to his "big-game" comment.
Pierre was also saying that Montreal should draft Cole Eiserman ???
Iam guessing they,ll sennacke from Oshawa, big kid ,6 2 lol probably still growing, high hockey iQ,highly skilled. My guess.
That kid is going to Chicago number two. He’s not falling all the way down to number five. You’ll probably get Eiserman down there.
Toast’ll come home when we need him. Mailloux, Barron and Harris might be on the block.
Stars are shining and future stars are on the horizon.
We shouldn’t spend yet. Kids are having fun, let ‘em.
Get to the dance as a core,
Cups’ll come.
#waitforcrosby
Ha, TSN analyst Buttons has Lindstrom ranked 10th. Before you laugh ... last year he had Reinbacher ranked 5th. He has Iginla 4th, Parakh 5th. It's going to be a wash this year. Anything can happen.
How about GOAL Caufield..!! 2G's 2Apples ..!! THAT IS MORE LIKE IT .!!! DRAFT A SNIPER..!!!
I know they probably will resign with there teams but Jarvis (22) Raymond(22) and Mittelstadt (25) would all be great long term additions to the team
A big name trade would be Adrian kempe 🤷♂️ 6’2 200LBS 75 point season worth a discussion?!
I disagree with Mcguire. We aren't doing a big signing UA since our cap structure is still tied to Carey Price's contract. He has 2 more years left and we have to fit his cap in before the season starts. After it does, it then becomes LTIR that we could use to do trades. Its why any trades we have done in the past have been expiring contracts so they don't roll over the next year. We are still handicapped by Price's contract.
What we need is to move either Anderson or Gallagher's contract and THEN we could try doing a big UA signing this offseason. Right now we don't have the flexibility to do it. We can't even build cap space while we have LTIR going.
LTIR isn't a magic bullet that everyone thinks it is. Las Vegas has to do a lot of cap shenanigans in the offseason to fit everyone under the cap. The way everyone should look at Price's contract is that its dead money that we can't do anything with. We can't sign anyone that will roll over and screw with our cap for the next season. We still have to follow the cap rules.
No question, Price's contract was the worst ever given in NHL history. For many reasons.
Simple. trade for the 4th or 6th pick and get both Demidov and Lindstrom. We have plenty of assests to do it...
If Demidov and Lindstrom are gone by the 5th pick, the Habs should trade down or pick Silliev. Then they would have to trade fir a top 6 forward
If Stamkos is going anywhere it's to the Leafs, so let's get him out of our thoughts right now.
A back injury is a big concern.
Hi Rodger, it is obvious that Montreal has been following all of these prospects for a few years, they should know them inside out. HuGo will hopefully make the right pick based on the evidence gathered. Demidov will be a great pick, but a healthy Lindstrom being a huge center, will likely have a bigger impact on a game especially in the playoffs...but if Lindstrom seems to be a Dach 2.0 "injury wise", stay away from him. I would not be surprised either if Montreal goes for Senecke, a big winger with amazing hands !!!
Demidov all day but extremely unlikely he is there at 5.
Habs need to draft someone who fits the "culture" they are trying to build. All the potential top picks have good skill but what about their attitudes? Lindstrom is big and plays with an edge, which we need. Iginla and Catton are seemingly relentless on the ice, real 200 foot players, which fit the type of players Marty wants. Right now only hearing about Demidov's skill.
I don’t want the habs to make too big of a signing because it could end of being a big mistake if they sign someone who is 29-30 now and they offer them a 4-5 year deal
Mitchkov pulled a Jagr. Told everyone before Philly that he had to play out his contract. With Philly he's trying to get out asap.
next year crosby needs a contract
Sign Crosby too.
Honestly, I hope Demidov doesn't fall to 5th at all. IMHO, the Habs biggest problem since 93 is that they are too small. Cole is small and he is super talented, as is Lane and I love both of them. However, were they top 5 picks? The Habs got massive deals on them and that's how you draft small guys with a lot of talent. Demidov might have more skill than the other guys but at 5th I'd take Lindstrom because he is way bigger, stronger, has better reach, plus he'd fight and block shots so overall I think he would be better. Long term he'd also likely be more willing to accept less $ than Nick too.
DemiGod!
It has been way too long since the Habs has had a superstar goal scorer. The Flower gave us excitement every night and now it's time for someone to take the mantle. Suzuki, caufield, dach and present company will be very good, solid players but the Montréal Canadiens need a game changer who can alter the course of a game with clutch scoring. Let's get Demidov, no disrespect to Lindstrom.
What is huge for Team Slovakia i dont get it?😅
Lots of junior Play Station players in this thread.
LINDSTROM
It’s a hot topic only if you’re a habs fan that consumes only habs content. NO ONE else considering this
Marchessault IF we can trade Caufield + Gallagher. Good players, but that would give us too many sub 5'10" players; especially if Demidov (5'11") drops to us. Look at the playoff teams. There may be room for one small forward, especially with Hutson. We need to get bigger, especially in our talented players.
🙄
one of the most mentally handicapped takes I've ever read
Imagine Caufield slipped to 15 and Hutson 60 something
They’ll end up with either Lindstrom or Demidov. Whoever is left they’ll take. I just don’t see a world where Levshunov doesn’t go top 3 and Dickinson/Silayev don’t also go top 4.
every team needs vets. they won't win until they have some real high quality vets
Monahan and Stamlos pretty pls
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! We have 12d and need 2 offense the rest is strategy.
Reply
Catton est trop petit ... He's too small. There are already enough small players in the Habs organisation. It's not the 70's anymore. The NHL has evolved. FACT > Today's Stanley Cup winning teams all have bigger players. Although Demidov is similar in size as Catton, I believe Demidov is an exception, being in a class of his own, as in super elite, a franchise type player ... a notch above Catton.
Until he has played a full season of hockey....PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT DACH LIKE HE'S A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE!!! Be great if he was, but at this point you gotta consider that as nothing more than a possible bonus. Not a guarantee.
If we pay a vet its gotta be a kovalchyuk type deal ,cheap
Josh and Jesse, this was an entertaining vid. Don't listen to McGuire, he is often wrong.
I'm curious...for all the people who are so high on Demidov, how many have actually watched him play a full game?? I know I haven't been able to, even though I've tried. I mean, I trust the people who have, and who describe him as an elite talent, but just how elite can he truly be if there are four guys clearly above him in this draft? Not trying to diss him, or anyone else in this draft class, but I think we maybe need to temper our expectations just a tad.
Indeed, if 4 teams doesn't take Demidov before Montreal, it has to be be a reason for that...Lindstrom could possibly go top3 !!!
Habs should help TB out and buy low on Jeannot.
I say they will get forwards 100% the 5 first picks needs to be forwards
If Demidov is There at 5 he is getting drafted We have to take the risk
lets sigh KK 2way hahah 700K for him and tell him its in your hands now
in this drafts theres no 40 goals scorers lol 20 maybe tops
🤦♂️
Iginla
has pierre ever predicted a thing?
Bring monohan back
youre nuts not wanting Stamkos. reconnect st Louis lecalvier and stammer.
Demidov more durable than Lindstrom in the long run
Sign Stamkos to a 2 or 3 year deal
Athletic has the draft so incredibly wrong. It had Anaheim and Columbus take left hand D in the top 4 draft 🤣 it’s the last thing both of us need
Trade this year. UFA next year.
Montreal is going for bigger fish -- like blue fin tuna.
More like Megalodon! 😛
miss mitchkov go demidov end of story
Demidov played against the worst talent the KHL ever produced. Foreign players left. So have many Russians. The geopolitical situation there is volatile. Whose to say Putin won't start preventing players from leaving ?
Un échange avec Carolina implique au départ un rapatriement de Kotkaniemi, le voulons-nous de nouveau? Peut-être que MSL et son équipe peuvent sauver sa carrière.
tyler toffoli will be coming back i think
No Russians til Putin pulls out of the Ukraine.
But the Habs has no money??!
I'm pretty sure they have more than you 😂😂😂
I'm pretty sure they have more money than you 😂😂😂
No salary cap 🙄
No way Demadov and Lindstrom both fall to the Habs. That senerio could happen for Columbus. They will take Demedov.
Demidov
Trade the 5th, wpg pick Mesar, Harris for Byfield
