Anyone listening to Timmins live on FB? Reporter getting agitated about the Habs HAVE to draft someone from the Q with 4 2 round picks.. He's like.. Ah no depends who's left on the board
- Not replacing Ontario scouts (which is strange)
- He said we position our draft board based on asset value and asset value is determined by position hinting at where they rank centres and d men above wingers of equal talent.
- Said expect the unexpected we have to see who Carolina picks first if they even make that pick, which I thought was interesting.
- Said fans are obviously passionate and certainly have opinions on who they want but you have to watch them play, make your list and rewatch tape on them and make your decision then
- At #3 he made the point of going back to Carey Price saying at the time they had goaltending depth and they saw franchise potential in him drafted him anyway
- Said only position there isn't elite talent in this draft is goaltending
- Got pushed on the Q a lot and reporters were trying to get him to say he was going to draft a player from it and we wouldn't commit said he doesn't care where a player's from, take best pick available
- Said they're missing offensive defense men in their prospect pool
- Kotkaniemi is a true centre
- Not replacing Ontario scouts (which is strange)
Yeah can't paste it for some reason so I've hyperlinked it here
Insane to hear Timmins talk about the Ontario side of the draft...to the question about the firings of the 4 guys....that there will be restructuring and NO new guys will be added...saying that Matt Turek, WHO WORKS ALSO FOR THE HAMILTON BULLDOGS, is still with us, and that HE lives in Ontario, and that Boisvert and Audette watches Ontario too.....
Can't wait to see the restructuring....but as of now....wow. So we are actually cutting the costs on drafting? And you will have NO permanent amateur scout in Ontario? Can't be.
How's 21+27 similar to 10+19?Audio of Marinaro's chat with Kotkaniemi from this morning.

It's working, thank-you.
How do you hyperlink? I can never get any link from FB to work.
Good interviewYeah can't paste it for some reason so I've hyperlinked it here
That soundbite of Timmins at the beginning sounds like a sales pitch lol. You can tell he's very high on him.Audio of Marinaro's chat with Kotkaniemi from this morning.

I keep thinking about how if people are still skeptical on the whole "C or W" thing with Kotka as if the fact he plays a bit on the wing is a red flag that he cant play center...
Evgeny Malkin plays wing ALL THE TIME, doesnt mean he is not still a great center when used there, its just about using good players in key spots in the line up sometimes and if it means temporarily playing wing for a shift or a game, it does not mean the guy is not a center
now after having said all that, i fully and completely understand we just BOTCHED a 6 YEAR experiment in Galchenyuk.. so the confidence isnt exactly high in player development right now... nor should it.
Draft this kid!
Timmins also said they found some medical issues for kids at their combine which may save their lives.. has to be one of the undrafted kids since we would hear it like we did on Kaut
Will be an interesting evening. We either have a great night or Bergevin gets fleeced by some GM
