Laine is poor skater as well. The player just never skates.He has nothing on Laine.
Laine has a better shot, skating, vision, intensity and simply put natural talent.
Kaliyev is a big time floater and he never backcheck hard or even show commitment defensively. He has a one way motor... Offense. He is also a very poor skater. He is not a lost cause but I would not gamble a 1st pick on him. He reminds me a poor skating Kostitsyn.
I'd rage so hard if they picked a mediocre defenseman over all the better forwards that'll be left at those picksHow about Thomas Harley ?
LD, 6'3 playing the OHL. Could be a good pick at 15-20th overral ?

In all honesty all the d look mediocre compared to the forwards at the top of the draft this year but that's just my opinion others probably feel differentlySo he's mediocre ? I don't know, it was a question. I never saw him play. Looks like a 2way D with good skating.

This 2019 draft is not the year to pick a D-man, other than maybe 1 or 2 within the first 15 picks, from a Habs perspective anyways. Too many forwards worth consideration though we still got a full season to see who rises and falls.
I think Byram is a sure thing to be the first defenceman picked but I think the team that does pick him is doing so to directly address a need and must be stocked with forwards already.

I agree. I like Harley but hes more of a late first kind of pick in this draft.In all honesty all the d look mediocre compared to the forwards at the top of the draft this year but that's just my opinion others probably feel differently

Hes not going to last until then.So he could be a good pick at #40-50 (Columbus pick?) If it says the same.
Alright, I don't mind a forward anyway... BPA is always the way to go.
Soderstrom in that range? Gosh Id be pretty mad.If we continue to trend to being a 9-10 placed team.. (thanks soft December schedule); then Victor Soderstrom would be a target of mine.
Soderstrom in that range? Gosh Id be pretty mad.
I guess... Id much rather Boldy, Turcotte, Kaliyev, Zegras, Suzuki, newhookIn the middle of the first round? He's a stud back there. I mean at that point you've already missed on Dach Hughes Cozens Kakko Podkolzin. He's absolutely in the mix with the tier after that.

Another RD, exactly what the Habs need.I don't expect Turcotte or Newhook or even Suzuki to be there.
But Soderstrom is definitely legit. He's a new age D man who can do it all.

I'd much rather go with Robertson, LD, huge size, good skater, great ES production, cannon shot... All the doctor ordered for the Habs.
Maybe he does at the junior level, but that rarely sticks in the NHL.Coulda swore he was playing LD at the U18 but maybe that was Broberg and Bjornfot.

I agree, but as always, he's not the prospect I'd want.Yeah in the case of redundancy that would devalue him a bit for me for the Habs. But he's still a prospect very deserving of being in that range.
