[G0bias]

Alain Chainey said he was the BPA
Tim Burke said he was the BPA
5 scouts from Bobby Macs list
Timmins list
Chayka's comments

That's coming god damn close to majority that thought he was the best (Though Chainey isn't employed anymore.)

Right. That was my point. We were aware of this here, in HFHabs land, and alot of us repeated it ad nauseam whenever the BPA question came up. So like @Ozymandias said, there were a decent group here that liked the pick at draft day. What I'm saying is the further you went out of our boards the more people thought he wasn't considered a top-3-5 pick, which obviously wasn't the case.

Yup, the main board was absolutely dreadful and the "LOL THX HABS" memes were cringey at best.

I was under the impression most of us were aware in the weeks leading up to the draft that Kotkaniemi would be our pick. It seemed like the idea begun to pick up steam close to the draft due our need at center and his hockey IQ. I was definitely not surprised at the pick. That said a lot of Habs fans I met at work were surprised because many assumed Zadina was the clear cut choice at number 3.

Lotta people were not okay with it, and were so anxious to shit on Jesperi that he made it through exactly 1 period of a development camp scrimmage before the peanut gallery started chirping.

 

[MasterDecoy]

The third spot is 100% open. He's three points off the lead at this point, why wouldn't he get one ? He's also been heating up offensively.

Petterson is running away with it

The tears were real. I made a pretty tasty gif at the time -that got almost instantly removed- which may or may not make its comeback should the situation require it.

There's three players that get nominated.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Keep shooting and working on said shot.

Maybe he's getting use to his stick, but before at times he looked so awkward with his long ass stick

 

[MasterDecoy]

no shit....

I misread then edited. Who cares about nominations anyway? It’s petterson’s to lose.

Still doubt he makes it top three anyway because he’s not flashy

 

[peate]

I don't care bout the Calder, he's ours and he's great.

 

[Mrb1p]

no ****....

You underestimate the power Montreal media has.

I think he'll be nominated but as others have said, Pettersson already has it.

 

[Fazkovsky]

He is posting similar numbers to his first liga season in Finland

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Kotkaniemi vs Zadina next week.

Lets see if Zadina fills our net like he said he would

 

[Frank Drebin]

They were zadina's billet family and were habs fans, we does everyone bring this up ...

Lmao no they were not.
Hischier, Zadina prepared for NHL Draft with same Halifax host family

 

[Runner77]

That watch, tho.

 

[Runner77]

Hey dont go stealing my schtik, Bub

I'm gonna throw shade on that lamp of yours, in that case.

 

[Mrb1p]

That watch, tho.

Mint swag

 

[Kotkaniemi15]

There’s a chance our boy KK hits 20 goals this year. It would be amazing.

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Kk reminds me of Sean Monahan style of play.

Lol no jesus hes so much better than Monahan.

 

[Hfbsux]

It will be pretty hard to be nominated over Dahlin and Heiskanen.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Lol no jesus hes so much better than Monahan.

lol come on now

 

[Mrb1p]

lol come on now

Hes gonna be then.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

9 goals in 21 games won't be easy.

I hope he hits 15 goals and 41 pts
