Habs cup - its in the BAG
Hope MON gets to pick Calen Addison with one of its 2nd round picks. Certainly wouldn't trade up for him, but I would to pick McIsaac. So, to me, that's three 2nd rounders (likely our 35th, 38th and 59th) to get McIsaac and Addison on D. That's two Ds with attainable top-4 upside (and likely top-2 upside at best for McIssac). If we're really lucky, for some reason, Miller really slips and we nab him too in the 2nd round.
Hopefully, trading Pacioretty enables us to get a high enough draft pick and immediate help on the left side for our D. With that pick, we'd be able to pick Zadina at 3rd and Veleno as a C prospect that definitely has potential to become a strong, two-way, 2nd line C and a puck distributor on the PP. Some say he has the potential to be a Nugent-Hopkins type C and I say, only faster.
Veleno is an elite skater with strong puck-distribution abilities who isn't afraid of initiating contact either. I dont think that Kotkaniemi has an elite skill and Hayton has concerns over his skating.
Veleno would be my choice at C with a 10 - 15 first round pick if he is still on the board.
Woof... This is not good.
