Trying to fix a problem you have right now, with a player that might arrive in 3-5 years is a flawed strategy.
Montreal would get 5th and 6th pick... Save 8 million dollars on the cap on callfield .... Use that money to get a great 6 million UFA
Hugo has stated many times they want the best player in 3 years, not at the draft
I have never seen any of them play but by watching the scouting reports we can see strength and weakness in each potential draft pick, I am confident that this edition of the Habs management will pick the piece that they see as the best fit for the team.
I know!
They should draft Macenna
Never, Never draft player s with back issues. They never go away.
It's a possibility but i will agree rather unlikely
Gorton Hughes are drafting a D and are shoping a star forward ✨️
Why is there no talk of sennecke’s skating. I find it odd he has good not great production, a clear lack of speed in junior and all this is overridden just by the fact he had a growth spurt late and that makes him worthy of 5th overall?
EXACTLY
Forward or defence Montreal should just pick the best player available at 5th.
This podcast is like “I don’t know” -Arpan Basu
Imo..it is sennecke ... Iginla ... Eiserman ... Buium
In this order
lindstrom if not available
demidov if not available
eiserman
Eiserman is 12-20range. Only has a shot no off puck work
@@jred1817 look again he wins almost every puck battle he scores which is what habs need and some scouts have him at 5 your 20 is insane and habs said they want a big talented physical player only 1 in draft lindstrom if not available they do want a superstar caliber that's demidov if not they want a top notch scorer Eiserman is the best scorer in this draft everyone else have no specialities they will be top 6 forwards at best
Demidov
Iginla
Sennecke
Helenius
Dickinson
Buium
Yajemchuck
If they want iginla eiserman or sennecke that much than trade for the 6 or 7... I mean they could very well offer matheson +++ and make it happen. I mean if you offer a haul like matheson wpg 1st cgy 2025th wich would be a lot, include beck or kapanen if you want... you could draft a solid d at 5th and then the forward they want... and clear up a spot on D at the same time.... Ottawa need a top 4 D BAD
Anyone but Lindstorm. Montreal needs a scorer. Eiserman.
Iginla is way over rated so yeah Hughes likely takes him to try and prove a point.
I have Tij ceiling as a second line player and you don't use a #5 pick on a second line player.
There are 4 forwards and 4 D all good to take and IDK if Tij is even worthy of top 12 I have him around 15+.
Obviously we can't get Macklin so I'd like Lindstrom or Demidov and on D it will be rng but all top4-5 D are really good I prefer Parehk.
It is a huge misconception thatdrafted players are in the learning stage.
Quality players already fully understand the game by age 14 all that happens after is strength size/reach and confidence.
PUSHING 4 SOMETHING.. WHICH IS NOT THERE ..IS BOUND TO TO FAIL.😊 JUST PICK THE "BEST AVAILBLE " AT 5TH.
d men take longer to develop , lock down them first if its a toss up
Best Player available. Lindstrom is giving me a lot f olli jokinen energy but without the shot or Boone Jenner energy without the hockey sense. Great players, great NHLers, but do we need a checking center?
I like the idea of Zeev Buium. We need someone better than Guhle or dare I say it Lane Hutson.
Maybe not center. But a checking winger with his size and skill SURE
Look guys this is the way mtl needs to go demidov , seneke are 1 then inginla and lidstrom ! You have high cieling with the first 2 ! Inginla has the mindset of a pro and you need to evaluate his caracter " is he a excuse type of guy " lidstrom can his skills improve and how bad does he want to win , what really drives him ! All these kids have something but which one is the proudest and wants to win ! You dont want another anderson or armia both ok but lack drive !
If we take Berkly Catton or Demidov everything will be fine. Lindstrom will be gone.
Catton is a stud, he will become our first center.
@@stockey at 5.10 and 165 pounds ... Maybe
Cotton might be the best player in the draft. 100+ point potential like J Hughes
Why no love for Catton? I think he's the next Jack Hughes.
Yeaaaaaaah, no. Just no.
He’s nasty and has like no flaws in his game. Very odd how slept on he is by the media. I wouldn’t be should if he goes even as high as 2
No, hes going 9-16 range
@@jred1817 Maybe, but he still might be the best offensive player in thus draft
Always draft the best player available and if it's a Dman, so be it. If there is any doubt, the Habs should take a forward.
If they trade mattheson to the devils for the 10th pick yes they can draft a RIGHT DEF only but if they dont trade no defence they pick sennecke
And after trade xehkaj to the calgary for their 9th pick and you got sennecke,dickinson and eiserman is good
Why exactly does New Jersey need another offensive minded D?
Who is going to actually play Defense between Matheson Luke Hughes & Hamilton
Like the idea just don’t think Matheson to jersey makes any sense especially not at # 10 if they can get their hands on a Parehk
Devils already traded there pick for markstrom if I'm not mistaking
@@alphamale4182 in 2025, not for this year. Markstrom is sure not worth that at this stage of his career.
Devils need 1 pairing defence mattheson is that and the devils said they are ready for trading their 10th pick
Montreal should consider trading the pick. There are probably a lot of teams that would be willing to give quite a package to get Silayev, Parekh, Dickinson, Buium, whichever one they've decided is best of that crew. Especially if it's Silayev. They can probably get a fantastic deal from a team that wants Silayev.
You guys shoubld explore the possibility of trading Caulfield to Utah for their 6 pick .... one for one... Utah needs an American superstar so-called... And now Montreal has two pics in the top six.... Any player in the top six of the draft this year is better than Caulfield ... Montreal gets rid of 8 million cap..
And with that money they can get a good UFA
This is a terrible take, Habs want to compete sooner then later. Trading a player that is active and young for a dart at the board that will take 2 to 3 years to get in the line up. PASS
@@crazytrooper There is not enough elite talent; in fact, they have zero elite players. Being good enough to make the playoff a pointless goal.
@@darrellhickey1990 and what Elite talent at the 6th overall is gona put the habs heads and shoulders above keeping Caufield? if in 5 to 6 years the guy is scoring 100 points i will eat crow, but i dont see how this is a good idea except a day dream of a prospect that will be a super star
@@darrellhickey1990 Caulfield is the second or third line winger on a Stanley Cup team
@@crazytrooper Caulfield is the second line or third line winger on a Stanley Cup team
Kent Hughes: we want to draft a forward
Two nobodies on a podcast: I wonder if they should draft a defenseman...
I wouldn't take Sennecke over Catton, but Iginla maybe.
Draft Iginla, safest pick at #5
These draft videos are the dumbest thing out there.
If Demidov is available at 5 you take him and run.
If not take Iginla and call it a huge win regardless, he can play wing or centre and could be the next Captain when Suzuki is ready to hang them up
If Demidov and Iginla are gone then I would consider a D
Dude suzuki has 10-15 years left before he retires.
You saying these videos are dumb is very ironic
