Habs cup - its in the BAG
Timmins making final calls but gotta believe that everything from their lower level scouts filters through Churla.
I'm ready for a full overhaul of everybody in the organization.

Picks weren't bad but I also agree we need a change. Take some guys with real talent rather than these players destined for the 3rd line.
Agree.
Sounds like our latest 1st rounder is one of those 3rd line C, safe, plays the right way player.
If thats all that is there in the 1st round then convince your GM to move down and get some extra later picks and double up on trying to hit home runs in the 2nd or 3rd round.
Another draft where people are saying TT is doing the right things (B grades all most all around in the grade the draft thread). Can't wait in a few years for Sly to get blamed for all the busts from this draft.

Translation for non-Francophones: Timmins is aware of the criticism that Habs don't select much from the Q. He said they'll invite undrafted ones to their camp.
Translation: He couldn't believe that Josh Brook was available when they selected 56th. Had to jump on that player.
Translation: Timmins was hoping to select Zachary Lauzon in the 2nd round with either his 56th or 58th picks and was surprised he was selected 51st. He believed he'd fall to the Habs' turn.

I feel like these last 2 drafts have some good promise. I feel like the drafting under MB has generally improved but it's still too early to tell.

Price defies corsi
It appears as if all teams had very different draft rankings this year. People say it was a bad draft, but I just think that the players to choose from were not as "clear cut" as past years. So, for example, Ikonen was taken in the late second round but some may have valued him as a top 20 player. The fact that Timmins said they "never got off their first page" reinforces this.

perhaps a new trend,
2017 - Poehling (safe)
2016 - Sergachev (risk)
2015 - Juulsen (safe)
2014 - Scherbak (risk)
2013 - McCarron (safe in that at 6'6 a decent skater he's a safe bet to play on the 4th line at some point)
2012 - Galchenyuk (risk, since he injured for his draft year)
So 2018 will be a skilled risky player!

yeah I'm not buying this whole idea that we're too safe in our drafting. That's baloney masquerading as fact somehow. Poehling seems like a McCarron type pick where it's simultaneously safe but also could have hidden upside. Really like those picks. I think it's safe to say Poehling has more upside though.
I've liked just about all of our 1st round picks under MB. We''ll see how they develop.

I feel the same way. Despite the lack of picks last year in Round 2, Habs did real well with Bitten and Mete.
And I also agree that drafting under Bergevin has been solid. Despite him entering his 6th season as Montreal GM, most of his picks are in the early stages of their pro careers or are still in Junior/College.
It was said by quite a few people that aside from the very top of the draft, the second half of the 1st and the entire 2nd round can vary from team to team.

Based on what? 2008-2012 were the worst years of the Timmins era by a wide margin and Churla wasn't anywhere near the organization, so cut the bs.

It's not the first draft he has said that. In different words of course.

Not sure how not getting out of his first page is so impressive. I had 4 of his players in one HF post....

Another great Timmins pick !
He's a very decent AHLer. For a 4th round pick, it's not bad.

What percentage of 4th rounders play NHL games? Do you have any clue?

Not everyone drafted will make the NHL. The AHL team should also be a focus. Filling it with good to great AHL players (but not good enough for NHL) increases the farm team's chances of success and it helps your prospects who do have NHL futures grow in a winning environment.

Didier was a 97th overall pick, so not much to expect from him. But he's like Tinordi in that he would have been better served if he had been born 5-10 years sooner as he's big and physical but has zero offense and puck moving abilities which in today's NHL is going to make it that much harder to make the NHL. I always liked Didier though and still think he could make the NHL as he can skate, he's big and good in his own end.
Thrower is the only real head shaker there though, since he was a 51st overall pick. Injuries really impacted him but his game was more fighting/hitting then offense and that's not idea in today's game. Ellis was 117th overall and Dietz 138th, so to even appear in an NHL game is a positive.
