I am fully behind this management staff but it was obvious even a year ago that this year draft class of defenseman would be amazing and maybe the type you see once in a decade. Very similar to 2008 draft class in some regards. I think part of the Habs brass thought you can never have good enough defenseman and Reinbacher filled an obvious need and they went ahead to draft him. Now it's a bit painful because I would trade our top pick for like almost any of the top drafted forward from last year.shoulda drafted Tkatchuk instead of KK (but then we wouldn't have ended up with Slaf/Hutson most likely) etc etc, shoulda woulda coulda
it's easy to talk in hindsight and it's only been 1 year, give it at least 5 years to see how these 2 drafts pan out
Michkov, yes
Leonard, yes
Benson, yes
Dvorsky, yes
I know it's not a popular take but I would 100% monetize our draft rank this year and look to trade down to around 12-14 to get more assets and draft the top rated forward that will available.
