Speculation: Who did the Habs want with pick #19 at the draft?

[Scintillating10]

...Anybody even remotely considered the possibility of F. Gauthier being inbetween Rychel and McCarron? The WTK list was good, im just not sure it goes straight from Rychel to McCarron.

I don't think they had any interest in Gauthier.

Grant said in the McCarron thread that the Habs had DLR ranked ahead of Gauthier, so I wouldn't bet on that.

Good point.
Gauthier is a name I threw a bit like that who would fit in the "size" mold that appeared to be important, considering the other players on the list.
I really liked Gauthier but he was really, really underwhelming in the Q playoffs. Looked like a JAAA compared to Emile Poirier.

This said, considering my last post : could Émile Poirier be THAT guy inbetween Rychel and McCarron (if ever there was one?)

Isnt Rychel the loser who didnt go to the habs combine and stated he wouldnt want to play for Montreal?
Have fun in Columbus.

That was Adam Erne.

I'd guess our list was
Horvat
Taken by NJ
Morin
Taken by Philly
Rychel
Taken by CLB
McCarron

I'd add Mantha and Gauthier.

Could very well have been it.

I said on draft day that picking Poirier 22nd was to me the worst pick of the draft. I think we're better off with McCarron personally. Not that I hate Émile by any means, but to me he was not a 1st round talent in that draft.

I wanted him at our first 2nd rounder. Was very surprised he went that early.

Laughed when Roy didnt select him.

I'd add Mantha and Gauthier.

I would not..

Definitely not Mantha imo. He doesn't fit the type of player that Timmins and MB are looking for at all.

Any article on this? I never heard of it till now.

I know you would but Grant has made it clear that neither of them were on the Habs list above McCarron.

Pretty sure it's based on a poster who goes to the same school as him saying that he doesn't like Montreal.
