The more I think about it, being promised 8 and having the chance to go on a cup run is an amazing scenario for the Habs.

We are not promised 8th and if we go on a run we definitely will not pick 8th.

Us picking 8th with the chance to go on a run is definitely an option on the table right now.

Only if they agree to have the draft before the conclusion of the season, which is not at all being talked about anymore.

No. You can’t have a team go on a run to the finals and then pick 8th overall.

They could do the lotto before hand... and have all the play in teams part of the lotto...
Bottom line: nothing is in stone yet, so let's save the freakouts until we know.

There's enough floating around and coming from the NHL to know we are screwed out of our pick. We are considered a 'play-off' team now.

Second most interesting man in the world.
Many of you seem convinced that we could squeeze past the Penguins, if indeed we are playing them first. I honestly doubt it. They had arguably the top goalie in the league this year, and some players who are absolutely formidable, starting with Crosby, Malkin and Letang, who don't have their equivalent on our squad. Plus it looks like they will have Guentzel back for the playoffs, if they happen. And finally, I just don't see the Habs coach outmaneuvering the Pens' coach. In my mind, that 8th pick is still forthcoming.

We won 1, lost one and lost another in OT. Definitely a possibility. But yes my $ is on Habs losing obviously.

Emil Heineman Scouting Report: 2020 NHL Draft #76
Forward Emil Heineman dominated the Swedish junior leagues this past season. He put up 26 goals and 15 assists for 41 points in just 29 games in the Under-20 SuperElit. He had the most goals and points of any player in the Under-20 North of the SuperElit. This earned him a call-up to Leksands IF in the SHL. Heineman put up just two assists in 11 games but was only seeing limited ice time as he adjusts to Sweden’s top men’s league. He also played four games for the Swedish Under-19 National team, putting up two goals and three assists for five points.
It was a big improvement over 2018-19 when Heineman had just one goal and four assists for five points in 27 games in the SuperElit. He also put up four goals and two assists for six points in six games, as well as one goal and two points in two playoff games in the J18 league. Heinemann comes from good bloodlines. He is the youngest of four brothers who have all played professional hockey in Sweden.
Anton Johannesson Scouting Report: 2020 NHL Draft #77
Injured over much of the last two years, Swedish defenceman Anton Johannesson might be flying under the radar when it comes to 2020 Draft prospects. Playing in the HV71 system, Johannesson put up three goals and three assists for six points in five games in the J18 league. Clearly dominating at that level, he moved up to the Sweden’s top Under-20 league, the SuperElit where he scored eight goals and 16 assists for 24 points in 20 games. He also had two points in four games at the Junior Club World Cup. Johannesson played big minutes of the HV71 J20 top pair with fellow 2020 NHL Draft prospect Emil Andrae. He also played two games for Sweden’s U18 national team, appearing at the Five Nations Tournament.
In 2018-19 Johannesson played eight games in the SuperElit putting up one goal and one assist. He also played three games in the J18, picking up two assists. Johannesson represented Sweden in the Under-17 World Hockey Challenge, picking up one goal and three points in five games and winning a bronze medal. In 2017-18 he was one of the best players in the Under-16 league, scoring 10 goals and 32 points in 14 games.

It's not amazing but let me tell you.. there's a CHASM between picking top 10 and picking 16th.
I don’t see a way the Habs don’t get hammered with this proposed format. Only way they go is down. It appears they can’t move up or win the #1 pick. Total screw job.

They are either picking 8th or >16th. So, yeah, we got completely f***ing boned.

Is it confirmed? I haven't read anything that says that they are definitely not doing it.

There's no movement on it.. basically they wanted to do an early draft and change the lottery to guarantee Detroit/Ottawa the top 3 picks and it got shot down. Everything since has been focused on this bastardized format, so it seems like they won't do the draft any time soon with so much variation to come.
i will call my deputy who's in fact Trudeau. I will suggest him to call Bettman to make him "an offer he can't refuse "

Ah ok, thanks. It's really not the end of the world not drafting 8th tbh. Teams like the Bruins and St.Louis are contenders without needing top 10 picks, it's just that the idiot in charge of the draft hasn't drafted a damn thing. Don't get me wrong, I'd much prefer that we draft in the top 10 rather than winning 3-5 playoff games and picking 16th, but we need to be able to draft some elite talent without a top 10 pick anyways.

Point was more nobody on the back end to move the puck out of our end - Weber can’t do it, Petry declines over the season and showing his age, Mete has been average at best, Chiarot can’t do it, Kulak can’t do it, Romanov might be able to but unknown, rest like Fleury, Juulsen, Struble, Harris are all maybes. With Gally occupying RW in the top 6 I’d rather have a potential first pairing LHD than a 3rd line RW.

No, but we are a 3-5 game hot streak away from picking 16th which is bogus.
