Your hopes seem pretty high my friend, although I do wish all of this to be true I'm pretty confident duclair goes in the late first and we should be in position to draft middle first
I disagree on Duclair. I think his stock is falling and will definitely be a later second round pick. Just my opinion though.
I think the Habs pick around 17-20 based on keeping up their current record. Also assuming Calgary continues to slide, I figure the Habs will pick very early in the second round.
Mantha, Rychel, Lazar, Gauthier all seem to slot in that 17-30 area from all accounts I've seen to date.
Now Duclair might not slide at all but I don't think it's unreasonable to say we'd have a shot at 2 out of 5 of those players.
Morin would likely be available in the mid to late second rounders that we have on our own and of Nashville.
We'd be adding size and skill at all positions.
Can you Imagine a future blueline of:
Tinordi - Subban
Beaulieu - Dietz
Morin - Thrower
Ellis
Size, skill, nastiness.
