When you amass excess picks like the Habs have, you can easily afford to use 6th and 7th round picks for projects like these.
Exactly.

I like the philosophy the Habs adopted in the Khisamutdinov and Harvey-Pinard picks. They selected two players who were going to be undrafted UFAs next year and instead of getting in line in convincing them to sign with Montreal, they drafted them to put them in the system.
And they used a 6th and a 7th round picks for these selections. No high picks were used for this. I'm all for this.

yeah I was going to post this in defense of this pick and the RHP pick. I thought it was a pretty good idea myself. Why not? They're late round picks. I like the logic.

If it's a weaker draft then I'm ok with it. In the case of RHP though I didn't like that they traded a pick to get him, if you want him that bad just use the 7th we already had.
Clearly they wanted Ruscheinski also, hence why they got that extra 7th. It's been Habs' M.O. the last few years anyways. Trading the following year's 7th to get a 7th of the current year.
In 2016, they moved their 2017 7th to Winnipeg to draft Henrikson.
In 2017, they moved their 2018 7th to Philly to draft Primeau.
In 2018, they moved their 2019 7th to Philly to draft Stapley.
In 2019, they moved their 2020 7th to Philly to draft RHP.
And now in 2020, they already moved their 2021 7th to get Chicago's 2020 7th in the Shaw deal. And if the trend continues, they will get a 2021 7th back by moving their 2022 7th.
So really, That was a nothing trade. They moved a 7th for a 7th. They didn't have to give up an earlier pick to get their hands on an extra 7th.
the best example of team who draft overarger is the Lightning with Ondrej Palat drafter in 7 round he was 20 years old
Is he Avtsin 2.0 yet?
6th and 7th round picks are always projects anyway.
So which is the city's name and which is the team's name?
Nizhnekamsk is the city name. It's in Tatarstan.

Niznekamsk is playing a preseason game. And if I can make out the line-up in Russian, he is 3LW, #40.
As i can seee, you are better in russian than im good in english haha
That would be Reaktor Nizhnekamsk, the junior team of Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk.I'm not sure what jersey he's wearing in the following pic:
It is correct.However, if my online search is correct, this is the jersey he should be wearing this year (maybe someone can confirm):

When you look at the probabilities of 6th and 7th rounders even just getting into NHL games, might as well go for these kind of players.
