Draft Holtz and trade CC to Jersey for Smith

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

NHL is really pushing for the 24 team playoff, so in the words of Bubbles.

C***SUCKER. THIS IS HORSE S***

And to steal a word from Ricky.

Our chances at a good pick are probably f***ing ruint

Let's hope Perfetti falls ?

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

What’s the latest, is it looking like 8th pick? We were so close to top 5, probably a week away

 

[Adam Michaels]

Draft Holtz and trade CC to Jersey for Smith

Only guy we trade CC to Jersey for is Kyle Palmieri. Normand Flynn's fantasy trade come to life.

Like everything about it.

It's looking like we will play in a 24 team play-off, fluke out a first round win against the Penguins, get destroyed in the "first round" and have to pick 16th. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh will pick ahead of us.

I’ll get drunk as f*** if we draft perfetti. Hoping someone else falls.

TSN’s headline is a bit misleading. Holtz said he’s more like F Forsberg or Pastrnak.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I’d be happy with either of the Swedes, and at 8, one should be there.

 

[Frozenice]

except not trading into the midd 1st to draft Smith, he was a no brain pick at that spot. a lot of people had him in their top 7-8

He's also good buddies with Gally. It's just a huge failure all around, there's no excuse to not push for a high end LD like Smith.. especially when u consider our needs at the time. Par for the course with our management, no risk/no vision.

If NJ prefers and drafts Sanderson with the 10th OA pick, maybe that makes Smith expendable in their eyes. I also think with Hughes, Caufield makes more sense then Quinn, as an example.

Sanderson won't be available at 10 because Timmins will be all over him at 8, unfortunately.

If my memory serves me well...only the top 4th get re-seeded in the draft.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Typically yes. But also the playoff teams get seeded 16-31. So if Montreal wins their play in. They will reseed as a playoff team.

 

[Supersonic]

I really hope we stay within top 10, preferably stay put at 8.

God, the Habs were a slow moving car crash at the end of the season...I really hope we aren’t subjugated to that again

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

67's centre Rossi named OHL's most outstanding player - Sportsnet.ca

Rossi wins the league MVP. He's not the first to do it in his draft year but it's still a pretty nice accomplishment.

Bergevin stays the course, so you'll see that slow moving car crash again next year.

He doesn't sell the farm to compete, not that I want him to and he doesn't sell the vets to build up the farm.

Our scouting staff sucks, so whomever we pick there will probably he at least 5 players that turn out better picked after our pick in the 1st round alone.

 

[McGees]

Can only hope someone takes Sanderson, Perfetti or Askarov to leave us one of the Swedes.

I agree completely however I don’t think our scouting staff sucks but definitely have had their misses. I think 2017-19 will hopefully be defining for us and hopefully we won’t continuously rush our prospects, but we will see.

What is definitely frustrating is that we are wasting the best years of Price/Weber and our GM doesn’t have the ****s to go all in. The most frustrating thing he can do this summer is nothing.

Unfortunately this is a top down issue but I don’t mean to rant about this in this thread...

 

[ahmedou]

What's the problem with Perfetti?

I'm okay with him (in case)... He's on my wish list...

 

[SOLR]

Typically yes. But also the playoff teams get seeded 16-31. So if Montreal wins their play in. They will reseed as a playoff team.

They could preserve seeding from currently non-playoff team to entice them to participate and still keep the top 4 rule.

I hope it can help his case to be drafted before the 8th pick

I know that Laffy, Byfield, Stutzle and Drysdale won't fall to us, and I'm pretty sure Rossi won't fall to us either. That leaves at least one of Perfetti and the 2 Sweedes available.

Which is a fantastic outcome imo all 3 are great choices for us with the 2 Swede's being better than Perfetti.
