TSN: McKenzie :If Habs take a center it's no longer an off the board pick

[G0bias]

If it means getting another 1st while staying in the top 9 or so, I wouldn't have any problem trading down. Otherwise just pick the guy.

 

[Le Tricolore]

If we draft Kotkaniemi, do we let him play in Finland another year to play against men or bring him over to juniors to learn the North American game?

Finland or NHL, I would think.

Keep him in Finland for a couple more years, no rush

Bell Centre with 14,500 people in it..lol

Develop him the same way as Lehkonen. No rush

So with the Subban, Sergachev, Galchenyuk trades along with losing Radulov, whould drafting Thachuk be the final straw for some?

I feel like they can't blow this pick

No clear number 3. This pick can turn out to be anyone of 3-4 players. I still think Kotkaniemi is the pick.

 

[FlyingKostitsyn]

They should draft Tkachuk and make him a winger in a couple of years

Its been a while since I posted. I used to make sarcastic comments on the Leafs but lately it looks like we've become the Leafs...

Ideal path that I see:

draft+1=One more year in Finland
Draft+2=One year in the AHL
Draft+3=Plays 2nd/3rd line center in NHL

 

[CauZuki]

So hopefully we have another mediocre year ,perhaps Bergevin gets fired and we get another top pick to add to our group of prospects...Could be pretty good eventually , we have to suffer first before we can rebuild and succeed again.

I'm beginning to feel like we'll actually handle the draft alright (we won't all be happy, never happens) but then in the days to follow MB is going to make moves that destroy our hopes of The Complete Rebuild under his watch.

I hope this is wrong...that last part. I've got little patience.

Draft well, then sell?

Feels as likely as a small meteor crashing in Siberia and bouncing up and then in for a swish at my neighbor's basketball hoop.

 

[Adamcrazy3]

MB will draft Tkachuk.. its his type of player.

He is a winger.

Heading to Finland, as per his already established plans, which are fine.

Already tried and failed, no one trades centers to Montreal, it's a religion.

 

[nhlfan9191]

He is a winger.

Friday is almost here WTK. Hopefully you can have a cold one and wipe the sweat from your face when we don’t pick him.

What are we trading for a centre, and who is giving us one?
