Without deviation progress is not possible
As I previously opined, the Habs will need a rebuild after Bergevin's rebuild.

Kappo Kakko??....LOL
Pierre Houde would’ve have a hay day with that one......guaranteed he says Kakka 5 times a game
I've got a feeling they're going to go D with the 3rd overall, one to replace Sergachev Berg sent away.

Reading all over HF and I see many posts saying why don't the Habs just pick the BPA at 3 whenever someone brings up Kotkaniemi as the possible 3rd overall pick. Every team has their own lists and with this draft seemingly wide open after the 2nd pick what's to say that Kotkaniemi isn't the best player available @ 3 on the Habs list. Maybe other teams are this high on the player as well.
A scout polled in Bob McKenzie's final list had Zadina all the way down to 9th on his rankings so there's no concrete answer on who the BPA even is @ 3, 4, 5, 6, etc in a draft this wide open. As long as the Habs get a good player that will have an impact on the team in the near future and for a long time after I'll be happy.

That means it's the second time they go meet Brady Tkachuk, at least, from what we know.
They interviewed him back at the combine and now this second time in Buffalo again.
Tkachuk-Poehling-Domi could be an interesting line, if it works out.
Draft a centerman in next year draft. Lot more center options and some pretty prettt good one. Tank again please.
Joel Bouchard loves Brady Tkachuk, if you guys care.

Quinn Hughes is the pick. His skating and puck skills are exactly what you want in a top pairing defenseman. That's why I think they'll pick him, that and how good Timmins is at identifying defensemen (usually).
Like, I get the Kotkaniemi thing, and I won't be disappointed if they take him. I just think you have to go higher end skill at #3 no matter the position.
the day of the draft...the official Habs twitter tweeted pictures of the 3 Zadina Brady and Shev..,....they made a hand waving gesture to Brady .......only use the eyes icon on Zadina..Schev....to me that said something...lol
Then we find out shortly after Schev a Hurricane lock..Zadina saying Habs not interested ..lol
HI BRADY( wave)

I don't get this...
Its like saying don't give me MacKinnon because Matthews is better. They are not related to each other.. Kotkaniemi is not Kakko but they are not even for the same draft year... its comparing apple to orange.
Drafting Kotkaniemi does not impact what so ever the possible selection of Kakko.

I think you're getting way too "meta" on this. You're trying to deduce who the Habs will draft based on emojis posted by the Habs' twitter guy who I'm guessing knows about as much about who they're drafting as we do.
Drafting purely on how great their names are:
Jett Woo
Justus Annuunen
Blade Jenkins
Kappo Kakko
Jett Woo
Justus Annuunen
Blade Jenkins
Kappo Kakko
I guess what im trying to say is i don't want Kota this year at 3...
If Kakko was there this year and ranked 5th??/ i would say go all in now!!!
If i had to pick one or the other ..i would pick Kakko 10 times out of 10....
and , Kakko will be in the draft next year....but i don't think will get lucky enough to get him...

I like brisebois, but it just sickens me how our options are so bloody limited. Forever playing shorthanded against the rest of the league. But yah he would be infinitely better than the purple pant wearing goofball. We'd actually have a team built on skill.

Lindholm, Rielly and Parayko would go ahead of Galchenyuk in a re-draft.
