Atta boy!I voted Iggy, but only because I'm concerned about Lindstrom's injury.
1. Lindstrom (If cleared health wise by our staff)
2. Iggy
3. Eiserman (For @Lafleurs Guy )

I'm slowly coming around. You can't ignore his goal scoring abilities.

At the U18 Championship , Iginla has shown that he has more than enough skating ability to be an impact player at the NHL level. The fact that he is one of the youngest players eligible in this upcoming draft may boost him into the top 5.
This kid’s skill set (shooting, play making, skating and compete level) is impressive.
We could do worse than taking him at 5 OA.

Sennecke is the new vibe. I think he's a realistic option if the top 3 F are gone. Habs brass is definitely keeping an eye on him in any case.

I voted Iginla, but I think Catton is the safest pick.

10 other teams questioned his dad's upside too. Glad we took Terry Ryan, the irony if we miss on an Iginla twice and poop the bed with another odd pick. Oh well.

If I die before the draft and Habs pick Silayev, please guys, don't wake me up, I don't want to live and watch Silayev becoming a Habs, please.

Maybe Hughes does like the American kid, Eiserman?
You need to score goals to win games.
We need goals.
Seems pretty simple... draft Eiserman.

No, we (HFHabs) will collectively use necromancy to force you to watch him on the Habs. You’re not getting away that easy, if I had to endure the 98-99 season you’re enduring Silayev.

I like his floor and his ceiling.
Personally I think his worst case scenario is that he develops into a perimeter player in the vein of Pacioretty/Hoffman that'll play in the top 6 and is good for 25-30 goals each season.
But if he rounds out his game and continues to develop then I could see him potentially being a 50 goal/80+ point guy down the road.

If anything that article makes me want him less.
Strongly dislike the "I know best" impression I am left with, that he's satisfied with his improvements away from the puck (he shouldn't) and he's not gonna change for no one (will he even be coachable? does he have the desire to improve?). His answers are full of shortcuts, like what he is doing now will obviously translate at the NHL level.
I obviously can't extrapolate anything at this point but similar traits were reported on Kotkaniemi once he left MTL.

Habs cup - its in the BAG
Not the first time he's said he thinks his two way game is good.
He's not our pick.

Love the player. Not thrilled with the attitude. Seems to say things that suggest he may not be coachable.
But those goals are amazing. Still think he’d kill it here.

To me, Tij Iginla looks like a perfect fit for Habs. He have legit star potential in him. I see 30-40 goalscorer at NHL level with great two-way game.
I really want one of Celebrini, Demidov, Lindstrom or Iginla, even Catton with that high pick.

Not a fan of Eiserman. Same reason I didn't like Will Smith last year.
I want someone that "got that dog" in him. Lindstrom or Iginla fit the bill, imo.

All depends where they end up in the lottery order, but right now, my bet is they’re taking Iginla. Goal scorer with bloodlines, strong physical kid, extremely good attitude. And they’ve met with him a half dozen times already… One of the youngest players in the draft as well. If he’s anything like the old man, we will have hit a massive home run.
