Habs should be seriously looking for a top drawer LHD like Matthew Robertson 6'3" - 205lbs. PMD with physical play and good defensively. Ranked at 19th OV for 2019 Entry Draft, with Habs picking around that spot likely. Using their two 2nd round picks to move up if necessary. That would give them Romanov, Mete, Robertson & Kulak as their LHD corp. Pretty good with Weber, Petry, Brook & Benn on the RHD corp. Adding Poehling, Suzuki, Evans, Ylonen in the near future, the Habs will be solid contenders for yrs. to come IMHO!!!...With Hillis, Fonstad & McShane all proving they are NHL quality prospects as well, the Habs depth will be similar to that of former Dynasty teams IMHO. Having Cayden Primeau coming as a backup goalie for Price, is also an ace in the hole. Certainly as strong & deep in talent as are the Tampa Bay Lightning at present, possibly deeper/younger.

I just hope we don't draft another Mccarron or Sherbak. Need to hit big to progress the youth movement.

 

[G0bias]

Looking at the other potential picks at our range, I don't mind we tried our luck with Scherbak to be honest. Atleast with him if you hit, you hit big. So I can't blame them there, McCarron and Tinordi on the other hand...

 

[NotProkofievian]

Anyone know why Robertson hasn't suited up for the Oil Kings recently?

 

[Stive Morgan]

Just throwing it out there that Bowen Byram leads all CHL defensemen with 21 goals, and he doesn't even turn 18 until 8 days before the draft. Not to mention his defensive IQ. What a player.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Speaking of D, another player that's caught my eye recently is Carter Berger from the BCHL.

26 G, 30 A, 56 PTS in 48 GP

Could be a real nice companion to Alex Newhook if he somehow falls to us. He could be this year's version of Stapley (on the blueline)

Do you know why Matthew Robertson has been out of the lineup for the last few games? Kinda seems like his season isn't really heading in the right direction recently.

He's an elite skater and as the stat line shows, quite a shooter.

I know he's day-to-day with an injury, not sure what the injury is though.

 

[Stive Morgan]

I also really like goaltender Rayce Ramsay. He's got good numbers with both the Humboldt Broncos and Kamloops Blazers this season.

I saw him for both of his games with Kamloops when he came in to relieve Dylan Ferguson. He really stood out to me. Figured he was some 19-year-old they had in reserve, not a 17-year-old prospect. Wouldn't mind taking a shot on him with a 7th or inviting him to camp.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Not sure what to make of Harrison Blaisdell. Only 2 players have as many goals (or more), and they're both 20 year olds. He also led Team Canada West in scoring, tied with Holloway. Skill wise he has some moves, he has a quick release, and he's quite aggressive in that he wants to make things happen all the time. He's also a very strong skater.

But most of the plays he tries to make fail, at least in my viewings. Not sure if that's a pathological thing yet, but quite often his passes will be behind players, in their skates, hit an opposing player's stick or skate. It's often a smart play that he's trying to execute, but a lot of the time it fails.

I was really high on Blaisdell as a 16-year-old, but I share your concerns. Wonder if teams will pass over him like Brendan Budy.

Now Holloway though, now there's a player. One of my favourites for 2020. Can't wait to see him at the NCAA level.

Speak of the devil, he just returned to the lineup tonight and was a +3

Hes going 3OA no doubt in my mind

 

[Legend123]

My updated preference of prospects given where we find ourselves at:
1rst: Dorofeyev
CBJ 2nd: Honka/Grewe
Mtl 2nd: Thrun/Williams

 

[WeThreeKings]

I wouldn't make that bet, it really depends on what the team needs there. Carolina with 3OA ain't taking him

 

[Habs76]

CBJ 2nd: Honka/Grewe
Mtl 2nd: Thrun/Williams

I'm all aboard for Dorofeyev, Grewe and Thrun. Dorofeyev is such a talent, belongs top ten and Grewe is a special kind of player. Got some others in mind too however:
Ville Heinola: his injury could cause a big drop
Patrik Puistola: Pure talent, could use some improvement in his skating though
John Beecher
Yegor Spiridonov

I like those players as well. Heinola is safer than Honka but I prefer the high risk high reward player personally.
But I really do like Spridinov. I would be ecstatic him we can draft if in the 2nd round, esp if draft Dorofeyev

Carolina is likelier to make the playoffs then once again winning the lottery esp given where they are in the standings (once again).

It's just one example. He's definitely elevated his play and would be in that conversation but you can't deny that teams put a premium on C and could forego Byram to take one of the highly rated C's at 3.

Its imo that the others have had their stock fall whereas Byram has massively increased his

How has Cozens stock fell exactly ? I guess his production slowed down a bit but that was to be expected.

The USDP guys are also all doing really well. If I'm third overall, my moneys on Turcotte, but I can see why some would like the safer kind of pick with Byram. He'd sure help our team out.
