Confirmed with Link: Habs draft Mike McCarron with the 25th overall pick (signs ELC, will play in OHL)

[ChemiseBleuHonnete]

Don't like it... Looks like we just had a 2nd tier prospect with size. This is the first round for **** sake. Sounds like a mid-2nd round pick on a normal draft. This draft isn't nearly as good as advertised imo.

Posted this previously, but it's worth mentioning again:

McCarron's final statistics this season (not including Four Nations U18 tournament in November): 55 GP - 14 G - 20 A - 34 PTS

In his first 28 GP: 3 G - 8 A - 11 PTS
In his final 27 GP: 11 G - 12 A - 23 PTS

He might not be the sexiest pick, but there's lots of room to grow. A huge frame and a good level of skill. He will never have the best puck skills, but he absolutely fills a need and, while he might not be a great fighter, he's a nasty player.

I really hope he goes to London. Can you imagine a 6'5" powerforward being mentored by the Hunters?

 

[Undertakerqc]

I like this pick very much. Bergevin and Timmins understand that we need to get bigger. He is huge alredy!!

 

[Et le But]

Well, I dislike the pick but even if he's a 3rd or 4th liner he still will fill a need.

Yeah, i hope he goes to London, he will be better developped there.

The fact he was even drafted by the Hunters is encouraging.

 

[Richiebottles]

Really under rated. He can become a legit power forward. Sooo glad we didnt pick Hartman

 

[chaosrevolver]

People calling Mccarron a 4th liner seriously need to do their research.

 

[OldCraig71]

Dear god, we just drafter Hodor from game of thrones.

 

[Team_Spirit]

He was at the rookie camp!

Unreal time at the Montreal Canadians camp #hockeysfun

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Please to go London. I'll feel much better about this pick if he does. Hunter is who we want as his HC. And they are always on Sportsnet.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

lot of pro scouts on here

 

[Hoople]

Scored in each of the last three games for the USA U18s including the Gold Medal Game.

Doesn't matter.

He is over 5' 11". Automatically projected as a bust despite our resident scout stating that he has tremendous upside.

shhh you might offend people. Why are people saying this is such a great pick when we could have got him in the next round? Thats the point I am making. Why not draft the besy guy available then the wild card? Horrible Horrible pick.

 

[Andy]

Don't know how I feel about this. I trust Timmins though.

It's just that how many forwards over 6'4 have been successful offensively?

 

[ChemiseBleuHonnete]

Well, I dislike the pick but even if he's a 3rd or 4th liner he still will fill a need.

this is the first round!!!

 

[Prendan Brust]

Waste of a pick, really don't understand that pick.

 

[Whitesnake]

Sticking to my list...I did not want him with our 1st pick. Was actually a HM for me in the 2nd. But we'll give him time.

 

[Et le But]

this is the first round!!!

Well, he could be far better than that although the "new Lucic" title is an exercise in futility. He's a reach but since I'd understand this pick in the 2nd round I guess it's not that much of a reach.

People saying otherwise actually need to do their research. Maybe the people calling McCaron a powerforward are the same ones who thought Weber/Diaz would be top 4 dmen and DD was the next Marty St louis. I can go on and on and on and on...

 

[HTTP 400]

I don't expect a Lucic, but if he becomes just a 6'5 230lbs Chris Neil, I'll be happy. These players are very rare and useful on a team.

 

[gusfring]

He needs to go to London, but that won't be enough I don't think.

 

[Metropolitsky]

I still think that Timmins and Bergevin are more knowledgeable than you guys

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

You guys DESERVE everything you've been getting for the last 20 years. That is all.

I like this pick. 6ft5 WOOOOOOOOOOOO.
