1) Not Going to be a Defenseman. So forget Dickinson Levshunov Silayev Parekh Yaremchuk Jiricek

2) Not going to be any Russian. I don't think the management is going to take a risk and is going to stay away from Russians. Forget Demidov and Silayev.

3) Probably going to be an european foward. Bobrov likes them a lot.

4) We probably don't get the #1 so no Celebrini.

5) Would bet we end up with one of them : Lindstrom Helenius Eiserman Catton.

With the first pick in the 2024 draft, Montreal selects:

Anton Silayev, LD

not a montreal fan but getting eiseman and already having caufield seems kinda redundant so probably one of lindstrom, helenius, catton or depending on how far down they are maybe MBN. Not really big on helenius I watch him every game because I like Huuhtanen and he is solid but not top 10 pick worthy imo

Never let 'em know your next move.

Ecstatic if we get: Celebrini
Happy if we get: Eiserman, Lindstrom, Demidov
Don't mind if we get: Catton, Levshunov, Helenius
Unhappy if we get: Silayev, Dickinson, Kiviharju
Bad things happen if we get: Nygard

cant wait for us to pick nygard🔥🔥

Guhle has developped well and is much likely to become a top pairing guy in the near future. Who else other than him can be pegged as a top pair all around defenseman to pair with? All our eggs are in the same basket to have another stud on our blueline but what if Reinbacher doesn't progress as much as expected? Hutson and Mailloux are more likely to become bottom 4 guys on a contending team as offensive specialists more than anything so I'm not against picking up another top dman prospect if he's your top guy on your board.
In a world where the draft goes down like the DobberProspects rankings go (Celebrini, Demidov, Catton, Lindstrom and Buium selected top 5) and we're sitting there at 6OA, are we reaching for a forward or taking one top defender left on there? Parrekh has the toolkit to become the next Makar.

Barkly Catton would be my pick if they pick outside top 3
