HF Habs: 2024 Draft- Who do you pick?

[morhilane]

Going by the voting result, Helenius is so going to be the Habs choices.

It wouldn't be the worst pick in the world.

I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up as the 2nd best center to come out of this draft.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Silayev (I'm just trying to manifest the Habs not drafting him)

To be fair, if Catton is 5'11" and 170 then so is Lane Hutson (screenshot pulled from a Spokane Chiefs video on Youtube):

At least he's eating and trying to get bigger

 

[Mrb1p]

Tij. Mans perfect.

What the hell is going on with his left hand????
It looks like Zoidberg's claw after he molted

Eliteprospects had the Iginla vs. Catton debate, and they just edged Iginla a little bit ahead.

0 concerns with how they talked it through and arrived to that decision. Always refreshing to hear a debate on prospects without it devolving into blatant exaggerations on shortcomings.

 

[Riggins]

I think they end up picking whoever is left between Lindstrom and Iginla (assuming Demidov is gone). If both Lindstrom and Iggy are there they need to make a tough call.

I've got big concerns on Catton's slight frame and having too many small guys with him, Caufield and Hutson all on one team. I love his game though and the chance to add high end offense, so if he falls to around #10 I'd move heaven and earth to trade up. Winnipeg 1st + Calgary 1st 2025 + a young D... whatever. Now is the time to bundle excess picks/assets together to add higher end pieces.

 

[MolleSon]

Assuming Demidov and Lindstrom are gone before we pick, I voted Parekh... True talent. I'm not that convinced about the potential of the defense as of now. That could mean that down the road (2025-depending on the evolution of things), we package Hutson or Mailloux with +++ for a top 6 prospect.

But as many others said, I'm fine with, in order of preference: Catton, Iginla, Eiserman or Helenius. Its a cant go wrong situation imo.

 

[Rozz]

I voted Catton ... I have loved his pure offensive skills and instincts all year. I think he has what it takes to survive the nhl and the highest offensive potential out of those choices.

that said Iginla is a close second choice

 

[Tyson]

If the Habs drafted Dickinson I wouldn't be disappointed. Seems like a future top pairing D

 

[schwang26]

Honestly. I’d be happy if they drafted a guy who can actually play defence! I don’t care if he ever scored, just keep the damn puck out!

 

[NobleSix]

Going by the voting result, Helenius is so going to be the Habs choices.

100%. I've been let down (at the time of the pick) by all of this regimes 1st round picks, so I wouldn't be surprised if Helenius is the pick.

With that said I am also a know-nothing bozo so wtf so I even know.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Tij. Mans perfect.

Can't disagree. He is dominant in tonight's game. Just stole the puck on the forecheck and set up Cristall for an easy goal. 1g2a so far tonight. 8 goals in 6 games so far. But he could easily go before the Habs pick unless they move up.

 

[HabsForHire]

I'd probably lean Eiserman slightly, I like his upside the most.

same here, I know he has work to do but I like how we have been rounding out the games of alot of our prospects. And could end up a huge steal if his goals translate. Iginla is my 2nd choice with perehk my 3rd

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Catton AINEC, for the record, I'm a hockey expert, with 40 years of scouting experience and I'm not even 30 years old...

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Iginla or Lindstrom?

 

[TheBuriedHab]

It was always Tij, always.

Well it's settled, welcome to Helenius, I guess.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

I'd go Catton or Iginla, undecided at the moment.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Eiserman

 

[SlafySZN]

Demidov, Iginla or DEATH.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Iginla or Lindstrom?

I'd go Lindstrom unless our medical staff advises to steer clear of him. A healthy Lindstrom would go a long way to sure up our future top 6.

 

[G0bias]

This is our last tank year, i want nothing less than Demidov, Lindstrom.

Or Celebrini.

That would be Silayev
