Rumor: Draft Michkov / Draft Benson / Draft Leonard / Trade Up / Trade Down

[Bombshell11]

With the rumours from Renaud Lavoie and other sources saying Habs are interested in Michkov, Smith and Benson then yesterday Tony Marinaro talked about trading up

What should we do

Trade up =. sacrifice an asset to get Fantili or Carlsson or Smith
Trade Down = Acquire an asset and draft 6-20
Get Michkov if available at 5 sacrifice nothing
Get Smith if Available at 5 sacrifice nothing
Get Benson at 5, sacrifice nothing
Ge Leonard at 5
Get Reinberger at 5

Draft Michkov or Smith, whichever falls.

if they really prefer Leonard, Benson or Reinbacher at that slot, hope they trade down at least 1-2 spots if at all possible

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Trading up never happened in top picks

[WinterLion]

We tried to trade up for Bedard, but they wanted Mesar so we said NO F'ing WAY!

Isn't Lavoie the guy who gets 98% wrong............I know they all spit ball but this guy is the worst.
Can we believe anything coming from him? Serious question....

For real can there not be 1 thread for this shit ?

This is The Eklund Thread!!

 

[HomeAndHome]

Drafting Mitchkov is what the majority will say, as they have in the other 3 threads, assuming it goes Fantilli, Carlsson, Smith in whatever order 2-4.

 

[Hannibal]

What did Lavoie said?

 

[SlafySZN]

What did Lavoie said?

Yeah? Didn’t see the rumour.

Last year like a week before the draft he said the habs would take Slaf. So he has some scoop.

 

[Mudz]

What did Lavoie said?

Unbelévable

 

[Tyson]

Best player available. Period

 

[jaffy27]

At 5 is…..

(Who can realistically be there)

1. Carlsson
2. Michkov
3.Smith/Leonard (to close to call)
4.Smith/Leonard (I’m flipping a coin)
5.Reinbacher

 

[jaffy27]

Best player available. Period

But who decides that!!

Maybe out of 15 scouts, you have 5 saying Smith, 5 screaming Michkov and 5 beating the Leonard drum.

I feel like drafting 5th is the toughest spot in this years draft as there are gonna be multiple equal options for 1 selection.

 

[TT1]

bang for our buck trade up scenario would be for Carlsson, if Smith goes 3 and we move up to get Carlsson at 4.. homerun

 

[jaffy27]

Wow 1 case

It actually debunked your “never happened “ claim…..but yes, it’s “almost” a never claim.

 

[themilosh]

Trading up never happened in top picks

if we trade down to Phi/WSH then by virtue of this, one team is trading UP

 

[Koivu11]

Draft whoever is left out of Fantilli, Carlsson, Smith and Michkov at 5. Simple as that.

We should be thankful to be in this position because it makes it an easy decision but of course it has to be complicated.

 

[MeanMugging91]

The real question is do really need another draft thread?

 

[Sterling Archer]

I was just thinking, what these boards needed was MORE draft threads. Thanks!

or just simplify things and take whichever player falls at 5 (of the top 5 scouted choices, not off the board BS). Said player will have a chip on their shoulder as they would have been considered the "worst of the best". That type of stuff gives that little incentive/drive to become even better. Said player will also not have the typical MTL pressure, as we are simply picking who fell to us - nothing off the board, straight and narrow obvious choice, nobody at fault.

 

[26Mats]

Another draft thread. Awesome.

I like this poll though.

No complaints.

The real question is do really need another draft thread?

I was just about to post a poll thread, would you do it: 5th overall for Zegras.

But I like this poll. And one more is enough for now.
