Habs cup - its in the BAG
You say we need skill, I say a guy like Tkachuk will make our skill guys better.
We don't have any and the ones we do, aren't allowed to play a skilled game due to coaching and systems.

That isn't even true...We don't have any and the ones we do, aren't allowed to play a skilled game due to coaching and systems.
That isn't even true...
He wasn't handcuffed on the ice from playing his game... also why do you think he's going to be traded? You guys have been saying this over and over for years... this is just pure media driven BS...You're right.. our most skilled player was put on the fourth line, kept from his best position.. and is all likelihood being traded this off-season.. and he had... what.. 51 points?
Epic.
I'm not letting the Tkachuk smear campaign taint me...he's got some skill & talent.

If we pick 4 it's Wahlstrom, if he isn't available, then it means Zadina is available so that's who we are picking.
HABS wish list 2018
Dahlin
Svechnikov
Zadina
Whalstrom
Tkachuk
Boqvist
Dobson
Bouchard
Hughes
My own list is very different.
- Dahlin
- Svech
- Boqvist
- Hughes
- Wahlstrom
- Zadina
- Bouchard
- Smith
- Dobson
- Tkachuk
Something about Zadina. His goals are almost exclusively from both faceoff circles. He's a dangler like Kovy. It's not a limitation, still he seems to be locked in that box making/finishing set-up plays. That's why I prefer Wahlstrom.
Although I have to admit, like Timmins, I'm not all that great at picking forwards, but I do have, imo, a great eye for Ds. Hughes and Boqvist are sure shots imo. That's why I put them above other Ds, whom I don't see as sureshots.
Skating and defensive play are big time concerns.
Montreal need size, so i could see a good fit with brady tkachuk if they pick 4th. He will bring net presence. And difficult to push from the net. This is what montreal need. Make some place for good players
Dobson is very good. His floor is a top 4 defenseman IMO but he isn't a game breaker. I'd still prefer him to Bouchard though.
Thats why id prefer Boqvist or Hughes over Dobson and Bouch. Smith is intriguing though.
Yeah I'm starting to really like Hughes.
Boqvist is a better dangler and better shooter, while Hughes is better at controling the play and a better playmaker, but besides that they're very similar.
As argued earlier in the thread, Hughes doesn't own a lethal shot but Boqvist does and that should give him the edge IMHO.
Wow, that is nuts. So we're least likely to pick at 4. Luckily, I think the guy I want will still be there at 5 or 6, and that's Hughes. I would think Wahlstrom would be there too for those who prefer him but I like Hughes.
Maybe he's even joined by his brother in the same year...that would be my absolute dream. Come on Habs, suck for just one more year...
Not sure about giving the edge. Hughes has better vision and I'll always put that as a priority.
Hughes has a slighty bigger frame too.
