Okay nothing new and I'm not a scout so here's my take. Habs can't score and they just traded a goal producer regardless anything else Chucky was or was not so this production must be replaced. So to the draft:
#3. Best scoring talent available period. Hopefully Svechnikov falls, but this is pie in the sky thinking. so best options are Zadina or Wahlstrom.
Kotkaneimi is supposed to have a floor of being a very good #2 center. His ACL and lack of elite skating scare me. At best I see him as a Ryan Kessler and I don't see that as a player you draft at #3. Therefore, I believe Zadina will be the pick.
#35 Mattias Samuelsson, 6' 4" LHD fills a organizational need. Twin tower to Weber?
#37 Jared McIsaac, 6'1" LHD good all round player, should develop into solid #4
#56 Jack McBain, 6'3" center needs time to develop game. Will be great once trained under Bouchard.
#62 Curtis Douglas 6'8" center.... but what if ....
#66 Riley Sutter 6'2" RW was thinking Anderson McDonald but more need on the Right than left wing.
#97 Curtis Hall 6'2" Center Laval depth
#102 Ryan O'Reilly 6'2" RW
#122 Xavier Bouchard 6'4" RHD
So guys what do you think of my draft board? Would you be happy?
