Thread: What should happen at the draft
What Montreal does will be very dependent on what Chicago and Columbus do, we need either one or both of them to need defensemen more than forwards. I think our choice will go: Demidov-->Lindstrom-->(Your pick of Catton or Iginla).
I would love to draft every Hutson brother, but we've likely gotten our guy in Hutson and aren't going to be going for Cole when we have other needs, take the Winnipeg pick and get another forward or use it as the main piece to trade up, for example if a Beckett Sennecke is projected to go in the mid-late teens and we are interested in him.
Definitely possible that Montreal does trade players during the draft, Harris or Struble being the names that come to mind. If we end up trading Matheson then we'll be keeping/extending Savard, nothing wrong with that just a decision that has to be kept in mind when decided to trade 1 of our only 2 vets at D.

Thread: Real Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>Smith in 24 would be top 2 pick with the question being Smith or Celebrini, Levshunov goes 10-12 in 23
And musty should have been top 15 last year and would be top 5 this year after the year he had! I feel if Musty was in this draft most teams would pick him over Levshunov.

I could be a homer but how often do you see an 18/19 year old 6’2” forward score near 2PPG in the OHL?</div></div>

Smith if he were a year younger would be in the mix with Demidov and Lindstrom for anywhere between 2nd and 6/7th overall, most of the top ten teams this year NEED to add to their defensive depth, very convenient considering its a defensively strong draft. It's nothing against Smith's skill, he's really really good, but he might even go lower that 5th in this years draft.
You're putting a little too much value in Musty, sure he's a very strong young prospect, but he barely makes the mid teens if he was in this years draft, and he does not move that high in a 2023 redraft because 2023 was just so f*cking STACKED. You're also undervaluing Levshunov, he goes above both Reinbacher and Nemec as the first defensemen taken in the last two years drafts. Any team that does not already have two guaranteed Elite right handed defenders AND an extra young RHD trying to take one of those guys jobs does not pass on Levshunov.
Montreal could at 5 pick Catton, much better season than Musty at younger and in a harder (Slightly harder I will admit but still harder) league.

Thread: Habs please do this if he's available
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLaveragefan</b></div><div>I'm scared because Grant McCagg is predicting Sennecke - He was right about Slaf and Reinbacher... so I'm terrified he's right again lol.

But, I'll let Bobrov cook. His picks have the tendency to be late bloomers and to make your swallow back some words.</div></div>

I can see us using our abundance of extra picks and LHD prospects to trade into the late teens and get Sennecke, I don't get why he's rising so much but I'll leave the decisions to people more capable of judging prospects than me.
At this point I trust the right decision to be made at 5, and if history shows anything I'll be screaming "WHHYYYYYYYY" on draft day only to go "oooooohhhh" 2-3 business days later, in Hughes we trust.

Thread: Habs please do this if he's available
If he's available I'd love to draft Catton, first saw him at the Hlinka tourney last summer and immediately said "I want him", he then proceeded to put up a 100 point+ season so I want him even more now.
I think Demidov and Lindstrom are possibly but unlikely to be there at 5, maybe 20% chance it happens for Demidov, 30% for Lindstrom.
Despite very much so wanting Catton, I'll take a moment to bat for Iginla.
Good numbers, smart play, NHL royalty, and one factor a lot of people overlook, he's young. He may be the same age as everyone else in the draft but he's about a half year younger (I believe probably a bit more or less) than most of the top 10 candidates, that matters.
I'd really be happy with any of the forwards projected to go in the top 10.

Thread: Thats exciting
We're not offersheeting Byfield, No reason for him to want to leave LA at this point, and were just asking to have Slaf/Ghule/Hutson revenge sheeted in a few years (Think Aho and Kotkaniemi). Not only that but the cost of the offer sheet required to get him is ridiculous, hypothetically a top 10 pick next year, then a top 16 pick the year after that, not to mention the extra draft capital, we could get a player on par for less through a trade of smarter assets.
If we are getting Zegras we'll be doing so without trading Reinbacher, I don't even think I'd do the trade 1 for 1, let alone throw in the extra pick and our best faceoff guy. With 5th overall this year we're going to be getting a forward with potentially more upside then Zegras, and with better control over that players contract moving forward. If we give up Reinbacher we throw ourselves a year behind, giving up our future 1st Defenceman.
That San Jose deal is awful, we are never going to give up two promising young prospects for essentially nothing, we're at a stage in the rebuild where we can afford to wait out the bad contracts (Anderson, Gallagher), either that or wait until we can trade them with retention when they're at a year or two left on their deals.
These moves are far too near sighted, I understand that everyone wants the team to start competing, but Hughes as GM is constantly praising patience, building the team the right way. You're suggesting we pick up compete now forwards, despite not yet having proven goaltending, a solid and well developed defence core, and leaving us with no cap to sign Slaf or Ghule.
Even if this team did manage to compete, we'd have to trade away core pieces almost immediately, look at every piece you're giving away and think about what else we can spend them on, trading up in the draft to get another core forward, addressing positional needs, filling the prospect pool before picks become expendable during our window.

Thread: ask Nylander to waive his NMC
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>Marner's only problem is he plays the playoffs as if they're equal to the regular season (which they should be called the same) that's a problem on the NHL not Marner.


Marner = 1 goal
Matthews = 1 goal
J.T. = 1 goal
Nylander = missing on a milk carton
Samsonov = average goaltending
Keefe = clueless doofus

Yet Leafs fans/media and trolls only focus on Marner.</div></div>

the fact that you think that Playoffs shouldn't be a tighter, less penalty filled game is the reason why this team hasn't won anything. The playoffs are the playoffs and they will always be like this. If he isn't able to step up and adapt he shouldn't be playing has far undersized and players like him in the past (Marty St. Louis) were able to set up. marner is a good reg season player but the NHL isn't just about the regular season. Both AM34 and willy have shown they can perform he is the only one that hasn't.

Thread: Fair Trade or Not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>I would at least consider this from a TO perspective... Maybe the 24 1st instead of the 26 one (top 2 protected in case MTL wins the lottery, then becomes an unprotected 25 1st...), Reinbacher's a steady RHD that the Leafs could use, and it helps their prospect pool...

Farrell's a solid prospect, Harris could be flipped and Kidney's a nice long shot...

Allows TO to sign Bert and Domi and have 4+ mill in remaining cap space remaining from the Marner contract...

I can see the logic behind the trade</div></div>

It does clear up immediate cap and minimise the risk you lose him in free agency so I agree on that point. Yeah Montreal's 5th Overall (Pre Lottery) would probably bring the value up to make it worth it.
