No worries. Looks like St Louis is about to win, so I guess we’re either 16th or 29-32rd

If only it could play out this way.

I'd love to get my hands on Cole Sillinger, but it's a long shot.

Molson is proud of being the worst team to qualify for the play-offs again.

That's our freaking gold medal at this point.
I know a lot of people won't be happy if that happens, but depending on who's left, I wouldn't mind a pick like that. He's a potential Matthew Tkachuk if he learns to walk the line. He progressed really well as the season went. I prefer him to Bourgault in the Q. My preference would be McTavish (dream) or Sillinger, but I wouldn't mind L'Heureux and it has nothing to do with the language he's speaking. He's the kind of player you can't acquire via trade if he pans out.

We could use a player like that but DAMN his ranking is all over the map when you look at various lists...then again due to lack of scouting I bet the whole leagues lists are all over the place.

Timmins doesn't draft from the Q. Doesn't think it's a quality league.
Can't see Montreal drafting a Q player 1st round.

True chaos would be to trade up only to pick Cossa instead of Wallstedt

f*** Timmins. I want L'Heureux. We passed on B.Tkachuk, we need a guy like this.

They took Tuch for that role, we badly need another high end forward prospect now that Caufield is out of the system as it's brutal without him.

Tuch is no L'Heureux. Guy can shoot and play on the edge of aggression every night. We need that.

No one really knows what Tuch is yet, he can shoot and is nasty to play against.
Look at our top forward prospects,
Ylonen
Poehling
Tuck
Mysak
Farrell
Teasdale
we badly need a shooter as CC won't be able to do it all. Anderson, Tuch, Poehling, Teasdale all have size.

Well, unless Bergevin gets fired immediately after the playoffs are done, Timmins will do the picking. No idea really who we take, but I seriously doubt it's a Q player.
Only player from Q Timmins drafted in 1st round is Beaulieu. Leblanc was drafted from USHL.
One player, and it's been, what? 15? 16 years?
We're far more likely to draft Scott Morrow (RD), who played high school prep hockey in Minnesota if we take precedent into consideration.

That's why I'm all aboard the Cole Sillinger train if we have a chance to draft him.I'm assuming he would go back to Medicine Hat next season and not stay in the USHL, especially if he's not eventually going the NCAA route.

I'm pretty sure that's the plan, he had a very good situation there in his excellent rookie season. Plus he's essentially a prairie kid, that's where he spent most of his life, that's his home.

The talent level isn't strong this year and with the lack of games played, is this a year where trading up could actually happen? Preferably for a forward
I don't like any of the Q guys where we are picking. Last year I liked Lapierre. Hopefully Guhle has the offense to be a no.2 or 3D upside, otherwise another wasted pick.
How is Sillingers skating ?

good. While I haven't seen a lot of this class, he's the one I'm hoping for that maybe if we pick 16th he could fall to us but if not then hopefully they get another high skilled forward.
High skill , high ceiling.
Sillinger has a lot of real good qualities, including a good shot, which centres need to have. I would be excited if we landed him. I asked about the skating as I don't want that being an issue so often with our picks.
