Lazy Habs fan
Alright, so this year, with the Habs picking at 39 and 45, I thought I'd continue the mock until the latter pick. This is only an abridged version of the full text as the long version, which is 8 700 words, was drafted in French and I won't have time to translate it this year. I will be posting it on RDS.ca (french TSN) in a few days (maybe after Bob McKenzie's rankings), so if anyone likes, I'll give you the link right here.
These are just the picks. I might get some flack for some picks, but I wanted to get a bit away from the consensus at some spots. Also, since there are no write-ups in this version, you won't see the explanation/defence I had for some more controversial picks. Hopefully you guys still enjoy it, I did put a lot of time in there.
Comments are very welcomed.
