Hey, so the Golden Knights are probably headed for the COVID Cup championship and draft at 31. Right? Right !
I am someone who is really interested in looking for what the future brings. As a fan of the Habs, I have been looking at prospects for the past years since we had a high position. Meanwhile, I look at the prospects who could end up between 28 and early 2nd round, for other picks and for my favorite team in the West, Vegas of course.
I just looked at a report about a young LW/C named Ridly Greig. He plays for Brandon Wheat Kings, the team that McCrimmon was managing before coming here, so he might still have good insight from there. Greig seems exactly the type of player to fit in the mold of the Golden Knights : has offensive talent, especially in playmaking, handles his stick well, and despite his small shape (he just turned 18, btw), plays a heck of a physical game. If he turns out to be the player he is projected, I think he becomes an excellent power forward a la Alex Tuch, who is a more than excellent fit on a third line, and can take good shifts on a second line as well. I think Greig would fit something they tried this year with Nick Cousins for the end of the season. Seems like a good leader too.
More details here : (you can skip the part where the guy speaks of the Habs at the beginning).
If Braden Schneider, other top prospect from the Wheat Kings at this draft, is suprisingly still available when the Golden Knights select (assuming they pick in the four last teams, which is what I project), they could also take him, as he would fill a hole at RHD.
Have you guys started to look at the prospects? Some names in mind?
