GDT: 2022 Upper Deck NHL Draft: Bell Centre, Montreal QC: ROUNDS 2-7; 11 am et | NHL Network, Sportsnet, TVAS

[Team_Spirit]

We needed PMDs badly after all the grunts drafted by Bergevin.

 

[Scotianhab]

Laval needs players too. Don’t mind this for a 7th

 

[Treb]

Another 5'8'' dmen. Habs going for size, except in the backend.

We already have big guys drafted for the back end.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Flyers got Gendron. Damn!

 

[Treb]

Laval needs players too. Don’t mind this for a 7th

Laval already has 7+ Ds.

 

[morhilane]

We already have big guys drafted for the back end.

I was making a joke, Habs drafted two 5'8'' dmen this year despite people claiming they wanted to go for size.

 

[Agalloch]

Laval already has 7+ Ds.

He will not play in Laval next year.

 

[Kiss Under the Guy]

Lawrence with 2 games in 2 years got drafted by the Kings.

Isn't a former member of the Habs management team working for them now?

 

[Agalloch]

Un joueur québécois intéresse grandement la direction du Canadien

Un défenseur québécois de 20 ans qui occupe le deuxième rang des pointeurs parmi tous les arrières de la LCH serait dans la mire du Tricolore.

I guess it was obvious... old article couple months ago about Tourigny and Habs.

 

[sampollock]

habs are keeping most of their picks... no trades today I guess

 

[Treb]

He will not play in Laval next year.

Laval blueline should be pretty packed the following year as well.

 

[Michelangelo]

Alright guys, see you next year for the Bedard pick

 

[Agalloch]

Laval blueline should be pretty packed the following year as well.

There's always 3-RIV

Just a warning to you Habs fans, the Devils picked the kid who knocked Slafkovsky's lights out with a hit this year.

Devils will get their revenge for the Habs picking Slafkovksy!!!


---------------------

Anyway, I think the Habs did prety good in the draft especially with all the pick trading. I know some Habs fans are questioning the picks but I think most of them are good picks. You also got a 2023 4th round pick that will be valuable in that deep draft.

You should thank us!! Nemec is a great pick!!

 

[Xirik]

You should thank us!! Nemec is a great pick!!

He definitely is, the Devils board was a bit angry about missing Slafkovsky and also a bit perplexed at not taking Wright. Seems to have settled down today though. Now all the conversation is if we took the best RD aka Nemec VS Jiricek.

For the Habs I believe while Owen Beck won't be a Star in the league he will definitely be a fan favourite for Habs fans. Can't help but love a player that gives everything he has on every shift, Especially a skilled player. Those types don't grow on tree's you know.

I had Nemec 2 (flip flopping with Cooley) I think you guys will love him!!

 

[Whitesnake]

Not a huge fan of this day from the Engstrom pick till the end. Maybe except the Guindon pick. But that's about it. I think we could have done better.

 

[Jee]

do we know when the habs brass will talk to the media ? would love for them to go over their picks

 

[morhilane]

The thing I get from this draft is that the new management want good skaters with offensive upside from the get go. Size is nice, but not required. And that offense for forward is mostly about attacking the middle and not being afraid to go in the corners and battling for the puck.

Also, they had a preference for players who had positive progression in the second half of the season.

Only the Finnish D Nurmi doesn't fit that mold...and the goalie, but I don't know anything about goalies.

 

[Ghetto Sangria]

Not to harp too much about one player, but again, I'm surprise no one took a flyer on Morrison considering the playoffs and Mem Cup he had.

I'm particularly surprised the habs didn't use a 7th on him or trade to get another 7th. They probably watched him play a ton.

 

[McGees]

 

[Nedved]

f*** me. Am I listening to MB? Holy. I get a sick feeling
