HF Habs: Montreal Canadiens Draft (#3, #35, #38, #56, #62, #66, #97, #102, #122 & #128)

[Habs]

Hughes or Dobson at no. 2?

Dobson.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Is Hughes v Dobson like Werenski v Jones cuz it kind of feels that way.

Hanifin vs Werenski you mean

 

[Vachon23]

any input on ranta, milos roman, and riley sutter for later rounds?

I would take Sutter in the 3-4th round, I think he can become a player like Adam Lowry

 

[Vachon23]

Some pretty good players were picked right after the picks.

And, I know you're kidding... but yeah, it actually was. That was the draft Bergevin was director of personnel for, overseeing amateur scouting.

ya but in 2011, they had a good draft with Saad Danault Shaw

 

[admiralcadillac]

We were healthy to start the year. We were just garbage. I think it's another painful year next year unless JT does us a solid.

Weber broke his foot the first game ofthe season

 

[Runner77]

I think the only other shot we have at a 1st outside of Pacioretty like that that we should look into is Petry.

I'd be all for it.

However, if I'm not mistaken, he can only be traded as of July 1st. Cap Friendly says that he can list 15 teams he cannot be traded to, but doesn't give a precise date: "Starting 2018-19, Lists 15 teams he can not be traded to." Usually, these type of clauses kick in on July 1st, so if we're looking for a pick amongst the assets sought in a return for him, it'll be a 2019 pick.

So? He played pretty well despite it. The rest of the team was dog-shit. I suppose you'll want to advance the excuse that Carey Price was le tired?

That's fine tbh.

I'd be fine keeping him too. He doesn't do much to prevent the tank. If anything, he's often an active participant. He's the kind of stopgap needed for the upcoming RD's as well. Part of a successful rebuild is not rushing these young players.

It's funny, this year we have on record the Canes, Habs and Red Wings claiming that they're open to trading their picks, if the right offer comes along.

And yet historically, the 2nd, 3rd and 6th are graveyards for traded picks.

Conclusion: they're all carnival barkers. These three will be making their picks right where they are.

If Petry were traded, who would take his spot right now? Juulsen?

Well it's not that surprising, top picks rarely get traded to begin with so you have a small sample size. It's just random luck that 4th get traded more often then the 3rd.

Ray Ferraro just said on TSN690 that he really likes Zadina and thinks he's the best goal scorer in this years draft. Said if he had to choose between Zadina or Tkachuk he would take Zadina but it's really close.

Um... no. There is no way the team is worse this year was more my point.

 

[Scriptor]

Yep

 

[sheed36]

McGuire thinks trading will be a big part of this draft from what he's been hearing.

He's gonna talk about the draft tomorrow so maybe he'll elaborate more then but I doubt he'll give any info involving teams looking to trade or any picks in play.

Pierre has turned into the guy who hints at things he knows that's going on but won't tell anyone anymore. I'd rather he not even hint about it or bring it up if he isn't gonna spill the beans.

Gets us talking though, I think that’s kind of the point.

Everyone will tune in to his segment for the next week, boost ratings, his time slot commercials pay a premium hence he makes more money

 

[The Great Weal]

If Petry were traded, who would take his spot right now? Juulsen?

Juulsen, or I'd sign another guy in FA(trade him at the deadline at play Juulsen after). I can't see Petry's value being any higher right now.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I think the only other shot we have at a 1st outside of Pacioretty like that that we should look into is Petry.

I would say Byron and Gallagher can get them a first, too.

Did Ferraro strictly focus on Zadina's goal scoring abilities and limit his "best" comment to that alone or did he bring up Svech into the discussion at any point?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hughes or Dobson at no. 2?

For me, Hughes over any defenseman not named Dahlin.

 

[Runner77]

I would say Byron and Gallagher can get them a first, too.

If Gallagher were traded, I'd much rather see them try to include him in a package to secure Hanifin and the 2OA, rather than just landing any other first rounder.

All teasers, no spoilers.

Pierre, give your shiny scalp a shake -- if you can't talk about it, then don't. So much brown-nosing by this guy and all he does is revel in it. Enough already.
