Silayev, Lindstrom, Catton, Iginla, Parekh, Eiserman

[Canadienna]

Not one Dman is going to go top5 and we're going to have our pick of the litter of Dmen or reach for a forward.

It is known.

Edit: I'm just spiralling, sorry. I know it's unrealistic.

Ducks just traded Drysdale, and now have: Carlsson, McTavish, Gauthier up front. I really doubt they pass on Levshunov or Silayev #2 or 3.

And if they have the #1, SJ or CHI will surely take a Dman.

Demidov’s knee means that getting Lindstrom is less likely. Unless we stay put and 2-4 go D. Iginla does have a wicked shot though and good hands and brains. If he was faster he’d be a no brainer.

If Demidov is available at 5-6, hell thats the steal of the century.

Apparently his knee is blown out again though.

oh shit, like yesterday!? didnt see that

Yeah I heard it yesterday. If someone else has anything more official to add.

 

[amnesiac]

I mean, if that drops him to 5th/6th..... could be an absolute blessing in disguise.

But 2 injuries to the same knee..... ugh. Id still take him if Lindstrom is gone, maybe take the year off to properly recover, and come to NA after

 

[Andrei79]

Would not be surprised if he is. And I think Montreal picks him.

[Scriptor]

Yeah back is always slightly concerning, but they’ll have more details than any of us so if they go for him they feel pretty good about whatever it was

Heard it wasn't a debilitating back injury, but, rather, a common ailment and that withdrawing from play was more preventive medicine than a requirement.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Iginla or Eiserman for me, Lindstrom gives me a Byfield vibe too much.

 

[Scriptor]

I want them all.

My wish list (assuming we win one of top 2 picks)
-Celebrini
-Demidov

Would be happy with lindstrom or Catton.

Would not be angry if Eiserman is our pick.

Why would you be angry if Eiserman is our pick?

He is the best pure goal scorer at the draft.

However, you pick Eiserman, you somehow need to find some Lindstrom type to go along with Dach on a line with Eiserman.

I'd be upset if Montreal picked Eiserman while Lindstrom was still available. Otherwise, Could understand the pick, especially if we nabbed him at #7 after dropping down because of the lottery...

After that, Hughes would need to find a physical winger that can play top-6, even if he isn't the go-to guyot the line. A complementary, physical top-6 winger could help get the most out of Eiserman with Dach at C.

Then you pick the best of both worlds, and you pick Iginla.

 

[Deebs]

Iginla or Eiserman for me, Lindstrom gives me a Byfield vibe too much.

I'd take Byfield on my team, he's just warming up. Lindy does have some similar traits but more physical/aggressive.

An injury prone Byfield ? we have enough of Dach, even if i love his talent.

 

[CHwest]

What is with all the redundant threads?

Injury prone lol

 

[BLONG7]

Assuming Celebrini, Demidov, and Levshunov are gone..... Who would be your pick for the Habs?

(I think Silayev would go to CLB, but throwing him in there anyway)

No matter how many times you do the lottery draft....................the Habs seem to end up moving down 1-2 spots.
That said, it seems they can finish 1 or 2 or 5-6-7

That's a big swing................pretty certain no matter what, we will be getting a good player who will make the lineup in 2 years?

 

[Captain97]

If there's no health concerns Lindstrom, if there is Iginla.

I'll be happy with either

Lindstrom won’t be available where we draft, unless CBJ wins the lottery.

 

[Captain97]

I know he's likely gone, but was a poll option.

I'm expecting us to take Young Iggy

 

[Sam de Mtl]

I find it weird among all the options that Helenius was not written in as an option. If Lindstrom is available, I would go with him ahead of Helenius, but if none of Celebrini, Lindstrom or Demidov are available, Helenius would be my guy ahead of Catton, Eiseman or Iginla.

 

[Mrb1p]

I’d go Iggy or Lindstrom, Lindstrom if they think he’s fine and they don’t have any long term injury concerns

This.

 

[amnesiac]

What is with all the redundant threads?

I looked through the first 3 pages and didnt see a single poll about the draft selection
