Confirmed with Link: Habs draft Martin Reway with the 116th overall pick (info in OP)

[Frozenice]

Reway looks like he's 5 years younger then Grigorenko looked when he was drafted.

Good luck, kid.

It's the reverse Cuban baseball player effect - they're always like 5 years older than they say

 

[Analyzer*]

He's playing in the QMJHL before he's even drafted, how are they even comparable players...at least go after a bust that was in the same situation/league like Olivier Archambault or Olivier Fortier.

Hmm

I say we never draft anyone named Olivier again.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I hate it when players do this:

Call me old school, but I hate it when they wear the jersey backwards, giives me the impression that he gives more importance to the name on the back rather then the crest on the front...

Geezus, he looks 14. So freaking young.

 

[Markowicz]

Is he 5'8 158 or 5'9 173, lol?

 

[Markowicz]

Honestly in that compilation he doesn't look that tiny.

Brière also looks younger than Grigorenko.

It's a shame because Olivier Leblanc is a good one!

 

[montreal]

wow... Reway could be the next Daniel Pribyl, or Alexander Avtsin! Colour me a skeptic.

Thanks for letting us know your skeptical about a 5'8 116th overall draft pick. Personally I wouldn't have gone out on such a limb like that, very bold sir.

Is he 5'8 158 or 5'9 173, lol?

He looks closer to 5'7 then 5'9 imo.

Unless Reway's age isn't really the problem here...

do we need to add "He's too young looking" to the "He's a smurf!" complaints?

 

[SergeConstantin74]

I'd say we got pretty lucky... drafting a 14 yo phenomenon 4 years early.

 

[Dharvey33]

I'm old school all 58yrs. of it and Reway's play in the U/18 game against Norway, was quite the show. Some of his skating and stickhandling looked like Marcel Dionne as a Junior, Martin can certainly play the game. If he gains another 20-30 lbs. of muscle he could be an NHLer IMO. I'm glad the Habs drafted some great talent instead of all size and brawn.

58 years old and can use a computer? I call bs on that.

Young kid look young.

He posts from the public library and they help him as needed.

excellent point, when he's done growing he could be 6'3 and 225 lbs . . .

You want young?

2nd overall in same draft, one of the youngest players eligible, Alexander Barkov:

That's Bobby Holik with a toupee.

 

[overlords]

Looks like the old douchey brother from home improvement.

 

[hockeyjockey]

That's Bobby Holik with a toupee.

Winner!

 

[Myron Gaines*]

He reminds me of PK Subban. Totally raw, but a special skill set.

 

[Dr Gonzo]

That's Bobby Holik with a toupee.

Truth

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

I hope his stripling look means he hasn't gone through puberty yet, so he can grow 12-14 inches.

lol FIRST thing that came to mind was this.

 

[xyzed]

according to this interview he wants to put up 100 pts next season (and less PIMs). He is pretty confident, I like that.

Another notes you might find interesting
- he loves Montreal, club is amazing
- he lives with great family in Gatineau, his coach is the best and predicted him to be in the NHL in 2 years
- he is very motivated by hearing that
- he is aware of the pressure, he has to deal with next season

sorry for my english
