2021 NHL Entry Draft Part 1

[Pompeius Magnus]

I don't remember it being a true question, might be wrong though.

It was at the start of the season at the very least. After Galchenyuk got a major knee injury and Yakupov had an excellent U18 and U20 it got clearer. The consensus was always that Yakupov was a pretty weak 1st OV though.

 

[Big Empty]

Simon Edvinsson is gonna be nasty

 

[WeThreeKings]

There's some intriguing offensive centers and wingers in the draft, most will require development.. hopefully we nab one.

 

[Habs76]

I'm completely fine if somehow we wind up taking another defenseman, just please not another Guhle. I want to like the first round pick more than the second rounder.

 

[MasterMatt25]

This draft is so much better for defensemen

Power, Hughes, Edvinsson, Ceulemans, Hreschuk, Lambos, Chayka, Bolduc, etc

I really don't understand why we picked Guhle

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Watching Gordin now and Michkov looks insane

 

[covfefe]

Yeah Michkov is on another level, the way he executes at speed is something else.

 

[The Great Weal]

I've got no problem picking a dman with our 1st. We need high end talent everywhere even though we have considerably more depth on the backend.

Thought that I would post this here for you guys as you seem to enjoy reading my pieces.

Bolduc...

 

[montreal]

would not mind the Habs drafting this kid,

You might be onto something.. Serious skills right there. That 2nd goal was impressive!

Maybe. But at the end of the day, having good dman prospects in yours hands brings a lot more value than winger, even centerman i would say. So at this point, transactions become a possibility and as a GM you have the edge with the dman

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

If you agree with the BPA mentality ( which I do, ultimately) then it really doesn't matter if it's strong in a particular position . In any case, we have a hundred picks in this one so we'll probably end up covering most bases.

Maybe because habs management doesn't have a time machine? We have no clue were we are picking next year...

 

[WeThreeKings]

July 23-24 for this draft.

 

[Big Empty]

I wouldn't want to draft Luke Hughes. He's a good player and all but I feel like he's a bit overrated because of the name.

I fully expect him to go top 10 FWIW . He's not quite as flashy as his brothers are but he's very smooth, plus he got the size Quinn and Jack never had.

July 23-24 for this draft.

Thank god. Not Saint-Jean Baptiste weekend like in previous years.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's not a 2021 eligible but Brad Lambert sure is good already in his D-1 season. I'm salivating at the battle him and Wright are gonna have for the 1st OV in 22 Add Savoie, McGroarty, Geekie, Luneau, Devine, etc. Damn !

Salomonsson, Nemec, Miroshnichenko, Nazar, Dumais, Gauthier, Chesley, Casey, Forsmark, Ostlund, Kemell, Persson, Mesar, Slafkovsky, Yurov....

The 2022 draft is seriously unreal

 

[bopeep]

Olausson would look good in our prospect pool

 

[Habs76]

Can we plz tank in 2021-22

 

[WeThreeKings]

Can we plz tank in 2021-22

I would love a one off season where we end up with Wright or Michkov or Berard

 

[Habs76]

I love how all-over-the-place the 2021 draft is as it seems we're probably a playoff team this year. The team drafting, say 25th could wind up with the best player in the draft a few years after the fact.
