We had no depth on the RD
Drafting for positional requirements.
This is not a good idea, IMO.
But I'm not the GM...
We had no need for a goalie when we drafted Price in 2005.

I think there was rumblings at least a month prior that he was on our radar. Leading up to draft day it felt like it was 100% him or Leonard.No one expected them to take Rainbecker last year either..

Bro could barely handle the WHL playoffsMan hockey fans have such a weird size fetish. Catton is an elite player that constantly attacks the middle of the ice and has an extremely high hockey IQ but because he doesn't make the arbitrary cut off of 6'0" he's not gonna take us anywhere in the playoffs. Nevermind Point, Marchand, Kucherov, Kane, Briere, or any of the other great playoff performers who were considered "small".
Yeah, it definitely isn't the wrong way to look at it, considering your next sentence and example from 2018 literally nullifies what you just said previously, as there were star players up to the 12th pick. Team needs to draft well, no shit lmao. Picking 5th should help with that. The direct competition only matters if they're in the same competition window. The teams in the top 4 are looking to stay there for a while.

They're also proving what happens when you don't invest in a decent defense.Leafs proving once again that talent isn't enough if it can't impose itself in the playoffs.
Then the deal is dead…nextThat's what Calgary would say, the downside is huge for them on that.
Good find. I heard good stuff about him before. Wonder if Hughes will go off the board?Sennecke 1 point away from being the OHL point leader in the playoffs. Only been held pointless once in this postseason. That combined with his 22 points in his last 12 regular season games. He’s finally getting used to his crazy growth spurt. I bet a lot of teams are intrigued.
How many below 6 ft when TBL won two cups ? Top of my head Kucherov Point Gourde Palat but may be even moreI'm watching Dallas vs Vegas right now.
Dallas has 1 forward playing under 6 foot.
Vegas has 1 forward playing under 6 foot.
It's not just hockey fans with this fetish. Its 2 of the GMs who built contenders.
When we have a line up with 4, maybe 5 HOFrs we can compare ourselves to TampaHow many below 6 ft when TBL won two cups ? Top of my head Kucherov Point Gourde Palat but may be even more

Could play Guhle on right side. Guhle/Reinbacher/Mailloux make great right side. Buium/Hutson/Wifi make great left side. Struble, Harris, Barron battle it out for 7th DI know. Like I said, I’d love to draft him.
Irrelevant. The point that I was addressing is that MTL was supposed to draft for size if they want to contend. Better draft the next Point that the next McCarronWhen we have a line up with 4, maybe 5 HOFrs we can compare ourselves to Tampa
Just watched some highlights to get caught up on this kid. He looks very intriguing. Not sure he is 5th overall at this point, but would be something if he somehow fell to 25th.Bobby Mac usually releases an updated top 10 of his poll of GMs on draft lottery night. With the uncertainty from picks 2-16 this year, it will be interesting to see how much shuffling takes place on his May 7th list.
I'm also curious to see where Sennecke ends up on the final list in late-June before the draft. I'm sure scouts and GMs are drooling over Sennecke's 2nd half surge, massive playoff, growth spurt combined with impressive skillset, and his current trajectory. He could be this year's Wyatt Johnston.
There's no way Sennecke's falling to #25. He was #19 on Bobby Mac's mid-year poll in January which was before his massive second half and playoff as he learns to play in a body that grew 5 inches in less than two years. He'll be a significant riser.Just watched some highlights to get caught up on this kid. He looks very intriguing.

Seems that way. Looks damn impressive, and I've ignored him all year. Curious to see where he lands now.There's no way Sennecke's falling to #25.

Brian Wilde was the first one to call Habs picking Redenbacher in Feb’2023No one expected them to take Rainbecker last year either..
As opposed to Lindstrom who couldn't handle the WHL regular season or playoffs?Bro could barely handle the WHL playoffs
I really wish we could have a do over and draft Leonard. What a stud he’s going to be.I think there was rumblings at least a month prior that he was on our radar. Leading up to draft day it felt like it was 100% him or Leonard.
Our very own @Goldenhands called it as well.Brian Wilde was the first one to call Habs picking Redenbacher in Feb’2023
