[donghabs98]

Rather have Jake Wise in part because I'm not sure who Cam Hillis is

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

Over 1ppg in his draft year, that's a good point.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

First at the vo2 max

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Finished first on all prospect in the Vo2 MAX. Crazy insane Cardiovascular capability.

 

[Deebs]

Excellent pick.

 

[le_sean]

Great pick

 

[Mdamico]

PPG in rookie season on a shit team. Worse case top-9 player. Possible top-6. Excellent value pick.

 

[HOPE]

like the pick! was torn between him and wise... i guess this is faster.

Scouting Report: Tough two-way center with athleticism who does everything he’s asked to do while chipping in
consistent production. Hillis display a lot of skill with the puck, but it’s his play away from it that makes him one of
the draft’s better 200-foot pivots. He has a team-first attitude and gives maximum effort in all three zones. You can
count on Hillis to be covering up his own slot on one shift, only to cause havoc in front of the opposing goal the
next. He has very good speed and carries the puck with confidence through all three zones. Hillis improved his
game immensely as the season progressed, to the point where he was Guelph’s most reliable scorer. He plays
with a never-quit demeanor, plus he’s capable of setting up quality scoring chances off of board battles. Hillis won
over 50 percent of his draws and can run a power play as well.

[wildD]

Good pick I like it

 

[montreal]

3rd on his team in goals, 2nd in assists, 3rd in points. Looking forward to seeing how he does next year.

 

[Redux91]

Easily the steal of the draft for us

he's going to be that kid we always wish we drafted in the OHL that shows promise and then explodes for a coupe 100 point seasons before turning Pro
We can be happy with Yloven, Olofsson and McShane even, but Hillis is our steal..and if he isnt then McShane is the steal lmao

 

[Habby Patty]

YES HILLIS! EVERYONE WHO HAS SEEN ME POST KNOWS I LOVE HILLIS. LATE BIRTH AND TONS OF POTENTIAL!

thats how im feeling a bit... hopefully.

I didn't know Yloven at all so i was pissed, because i liked alot of guys before him...

after watching him i don't mind the pick he's quick, has a great shot at high speed and can find open lane, he reminds me a bit of Panarin in his style. He's also a position of need in RW

Olofsson is a big guy, realy like his vision, haven't seen his defensive game but it's suppose to be good! has a pretty good shot, i would just like him to work on his edge and agility! like his quick hands.

alexander romanov, i've never seen him play still hate the pick, since we could have pick him later and grab a safer pick, it's whatever, was realy pissed on the moment, but i cooled down.

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

The Habs selected a skilled right handed center. They really did. I'm shocked.

I thought there was a secret rule in the NHL rulebook that prevented the Habs from doing so.

 

[NobleSix]

Like this pick a lot. Good value in the 3rd round. Upside, Upside, Upside.

 

[The Great Weal]

Brilliant playmaker

 

[Scintillating10]

Sounds similar to McShane. If we pick enough centers bound to fluke a good one after awhile
