Svechnikov? Well that's strange.

Has to be them doing their due diligence in case the possibility Carolina goes another way.

 

[Habaneros]

Svechnikov? Well that's strange.

almost as strange as Habs inviting fired scouts to Dallas..lol

 

[Scuba-Steve]

Svechnikov? Well that's strange.

Exactly what I think. Why bother to bring him to meet the Habs brass if he's going 2nd for sure?

 

[Et le But]

Timmins better not be wrong. But what will be more damaging for him....going for the C and missing out on a 35-goal scorer? Or going for the winger and missing out on a #1C? Somehow, he better pray that not only his player does incredibly well despite a bad team...but he can't afford that the next guys chosen do well....

Considering there's a possibility he goes with the winger who can't score goals because he likes his last name..

 

[vokiel]

Liga>AHL. They are pretty close.

Rink size is where the differences happen.

 

[The Great Weal]

Rink size is where the differences happen.

I doubt he will need to go to the AHL. He should be in the NHL in 1 year.

If Tkachuk had a different last name, I bet many on this board would be raving for him.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Gotta hand it to Habs. They are being more transparent.

 

[googlymoogly]

Svechnikov? Well that's strange.

Get him drunk put him in bed with a blow up doll of the Queen take pictures release to media and he drops to us

How perfect would it be if Canes skip on Svechnikov (they won't), Habs trade Max for ROR and they draft Svechnikov,

If Tkachuk had a different last name, I'd be raving for him in the second round.

Carolina looking for a goalie..

 

[Whitesnake]

WTK was so right earlier tonight.....you should NEVER give a team to a desperate guy. 'Cause he'll made desperate moves. And it NEVER pays off. We will pay for how desperate Bergevin is. We already did. No reason why it will stop.

 

[ottawa]

I feel like you should post this one more time.

 

[MadMslm]

They just confirmed that Hayton was the third player having dinner with the team. Which is not surprising after the rumors that Bergevin is entertaining the idea to move back because there is other centers in the draft. I wouldn't go back too much, but if they like him enough it gives some credibility to that rumor.

Inviting Svechnikov doesn't seem odd to me. He will probably be selected second overall, but you never know what can happen. This is the guy you need to draft, such a shame that he will probably never put that jersey on. It's also a good moment to see how those guys carry themselves in a situation like that, you learn a lot from an individual by the way they carry themselves.

Anyone knows when was kotkaniemi's ACL surgery?

 

[Habaneros]

I feel like you should post this one more time.

 

[Runner77]

So will Kotkaniemi. He won't be a 5 or 6 year project. He will be in the NHL in a few years.

And I don't get what projecting what Kotkaniemi will be in 3 years have to do with Weber and Price. The team still has to play now while Kotkaniemi develops.

FWIW, Pronman on 690 this afternoon said that Zadina is ready for the NHL now. Claims Kotkaniemi is one year away.

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Canes had said they will select Svechnikov.

 

[Ozmodiar]

FWIW, Pronman on 690 this afternoon said that Zadina is ready for the NHL now.

Timmins knows this too, but wasn't willing to say it on the radio today.

I think Zadina will be the pick.

And I'm more than fine to wait that year.

So all the scouts have him wrong......HF prevails, Tkachuk is only worthy of a second round selection......what a bunch of idiots they are, I mean all they did was watch him play 100 times live and interviewed them and talked with the parents and teachers and ex coaches..........
