Whatever it takes to get Demidov. Whatever.

Considering Sennecke and Iginla were close on most lists mid-season (16 and 19 on Bob's list irc) and both followed a great development curve this season, I'm not sure how people can have Iginla in the top 10 now and not have Sennecke close by. I wouldn't be surprised if some scouts prefers Sennecke too, it depends on your bias.In the unlikely event of Sennecke at 5, how would you guys take that? Seems like Iginla is the other reasonable option that they'd actually like if they don't reach that far.

I'm personally just going to keep saying the Habs need to get another top 15 draft pick.
Catton has way more talent either. In the first round I am going with talent big timeIginla is about an inch taller than Catton and would be at most 3-5 pounds heavier than him at this point.
I wouldn't write off Catton.
Agree.Catton has been my #3 behind Celebrini and Demidov for most of the year, and this just makes me even more committed to that.
I think this kid is the choice at 5 / 6 if he's still there. I like Lindstrom and Iginla too, and will be plenty happy with either of them... but I want Catton just that much more lol
It's just recency bias at work since most of the top Ds are done with their season while the forwards talking about a lot lately are still playing in the playoffs or the U18.It seems like the forwards are rising. Should be an interesting draft!!
Pretty funny alot of the people dismissing Sennecke as an option because muh luth risuh, but but KK!... are pulling for Iginla at the same time.
As if he wasn't also a mid to late 1st rounder for most of the year who hit a crazy progression curve later in the season.

Maybe Beckett should’ve changed his last name to LafleurConsidering Sennecke and Iginla were close on most lists mid-season (16 and 19 on Bob's list irc) and both followed a great development curve this season, I'm not sure how people can have Iginla in the top 10 now and not have Sennecke close by.

He didn't come into the season as a surefire top 10 player, or potential top 5 pick. He found a fit in Kelowna, his play seemed to take another step once he got regular reps on the 1st PP and finally finished on an even stronger note in the playoffs.Iginla played well all year. There was no crazy progression curve in back half. Besides, if you watched him last year with Seattle, you knew this was coming.
Leonard wasn't rated that far back earlier in season also. We been burnt hard doing that before, twice. Jumping a guy 10 slots based on couple of months play.It always takes time. People were not enamored with Leonard being a possibility for our pick. The more it got analyzed the more people were receptive and now you have people who lament us not taking him.
Adverse to change.
Really curious to see where Poirier ends up, I hope the habs can pick him with Colorado’s secondThink about that;
When you look in Regular season and in the playoffs....:
Senneke's stats ( GOALS) are nowhere near the ones of Justin Poirier...not even close...
..and Poirier is 9 months younger.
We are talking now Top 10 for Senneke and not even a first round for Poirier.
One is 6.2 and the other is 5.7...
If I would ask 10 people..who will have the better career I bet 9 people would say Senneke.
Question marks everywhere….
Is Levshunov a defensive liability?
Is Catton too frail for NHL playoffs?
Is Lindstrom a donkey disguised as a unicorn?
Will Demidov’s knee hold together?
Is Iginla the real deal after his showing at U18’s?
That my friend, is up to the Scouts to sort through and make a decision!!
The back noise on the Dmen was never going to last, it's the same every draft.It seems like the forwards are rising. Should be an interesting draft!!
Like:How would Hab fans feel if HuGo use 5oa to grab Levshunov or Parehk
I would have thought that after Slaf people would have stopped scouting via stat watching.Think about that;
