Lol that list sucks, putting Michkov above guys who are already doing well at the NHL level and how is Johnston below Will Smith?

 

[SlafySZN]

Cooley could very well become a point producing star but the total package that Slaf brings is still more needed imo.

I tend to think Slaf will also score more points. I always said young players has to find a way to put up points consistently and it take some years to put everything together and Slaf has already done that in finding ways to get on the board almost every night and it’ll get even better.

Plus Stützle is overrated. He's a softy, always on his ass and a whiner. Super skilled for sure but I just can't see him do well in the playoffs.

He's the more proven player yes, but also the more proven bitch lol

 

[BaseballCoach]

On the other hand, should Slaf record a point tonight, he will, for a time, be the only player in NHL history to score in every game he played in his twenties. This factoid will be repeated on multiple You Tube channels dedicated to the Habs.

On the other hand, if he fails to score a point tonight, there will be a post on the main board saying he is tied for the fewest points EVER by a 20 year old.

I don’t understand some are not in the same draft and some not in the nhl

The (With Hindsight) has me in tears lmao

Power ranking of every player drafted in the 2020's (not in 2020). Stupid list IMO lol this should be done in like... 2035

Ah, cheers my take away is the Stutzle stare.

He was amazing tonight. Sad he didnt get a point.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Amazing game tonight from him!

He was a force to be reckoned with. He needed more support and I won't say where so I don't offend anyone.
It's games like this that you absolutely need a full line of bigger stronger players end of story.

I was amazed we were finally starting to hear boos on our PP. It's been deserved for a long time now IMO.

Next year, hopefully.

Kirby has to stay healthy. Our top 6 could sctually look good if Kirby stays healthy and takes the next step. 6th guy could be anyone, maybe Roy or Armia if he keeps up his play (press X to doubt).

Maybe Celebrini

Six shots and nothing to show for it!

 

[Pickles]

The number of people currently claiming they wanted Cooley seems to have dropped of a lot since his early season play.

I was on that Cooley hype train before the draft but I trusted this management team and it looks like they made the right decision drafting Slaf.

Whoever made this list thinks hindsight means speculation?

 

[Bobby Holik agent]

Love the high level fast paced ufc fight action replay of last night empty netter. Many element going on. GG Hurricanes.

That was 76% a penalty Carolina.

I need to work on my elbow move i can't do that at all.

 

[Gally11]

I don’t see how his line don’t go beast mode this summer after how successful their back half has been. Some offseason time in the gym and with dr shot makes me very excited for next season.

Feels good having a true 1OA, we’d be so mad if we didn’t draft him there.

I agree, one undersized player in the top 6 is more than enough.

There are certain teams our first line won't match up very well against.
The in your face ones.

Like from the guy who passed to him right on the tape in front of the goalie for a premium chance?

But yes the habs needs at least 1 bigger guy + Dach for the top 6.

Holy Crap man get over it.
Every time someone mentions Caufield may not be an ideal first line player you chirp in with some random play to confute it.
This is very much about the complete package including physicality durability and strength.
Nobody is saying Caufield is shit they are saying he may be better served elsewhere.

Florida, Carolina, Vegas, Dallas, Predators, Kings, and Jets to name a few.

The streak is over back to being a bust.
