You have to draft the best player available!!! If its a defenseman at number 5 then trade the pick and move back to where you can get a forward or centre as the best pick. That being said I would not trade back. You want the best player and moving back doesn't get that.

In my opinion if Demidov and Lindstrom are gone when habs have to pick ... they'll trade their fifth pick

If Demidov or Lindstrom are gone, they go for the next best available forwards that are left like Iginla, Catton, Eiserman, or Sennecke imo.

I dont mind Anton Silayev but habs has no elite forwards. Slaf and Dach has potential but nothing is proven. I say lets trade Reinbecher for top 4 draft of we draft def man.

They certainly could because there will be some very good ones available but I think they go with a forward such as Lindstrom or Iginla. I think Habs fans would throw a fit if they did go with another D with their first pick.

When has Chicago drafted a Russian this high? Answer never. Chicago drafts skill/speed #1 Character # 1A They just don't know enough about Demidov, so its possible the Habs get him, but there's three and four, and it might be hard for them to pass.

The Hawks are NOT going to let an impact player like Demidov pass, drafting at two you go for a home run, not a maybe. I do not get how so many people think that magic will blind every team but theirs and somehow the 2nd best player will fall right into their laps.
@AnaheimRob 8 күн бұрын
The Ducks more than likely will pick a Defenseman but if Demidov isn't chosen by Chicago his skillset may be too much to pass on. Put him on the same line as Carlsson and Gauthier and there will be plenty of size to protect him and skill to take his passes or feed him passes that he can score on.
@Habs4444 8 күн бұрын
Habs need a big skilled centre or power forward. To win a cup size becomes important when you have to win 4 rounds. If one is there at 5 then take him. If not don't reach take the best player available.

SKILL IS A TERM MOST PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND.... SCORING POINTS IS NOT ENOUGH as a determining factor of skill. Question: What does the hockey player do when he doesn't have the puck? .... Does he have more than 7 hits per 60 minutes? … How well can he defend the other team's best player? .... Can he play on the power play?... Can he play the penalty kill ?....Can he play 3rd or 4th line if the first 2 lines does not work out.? .... Can he intimidate your opponents? .... Does he have fire in his eyes when the hockey game is tied? .... Does he smile if he loses the game like Caufeild or is he upset when he loses like J.T. Miller?

Odds are the Hawks will pick Demidov so if the Habs think Lindstrom is their guy they will have to make a trade for him. A trade with the Ducks would guarantee them that pick...The Ducks most likely want Levshunov but if they pick fifth they will probably lose that player to the Blue Jackets so the Habs would have to give up a good amount to secure that third pick.

It is the same problem the last two years, Montreal will draft 5th but most elite players will be gone top4. Last year, Montreal tried hard to trade up to get Will Smith but failed; and this year, they may lose Lindstrom to Anaheim or Columbus. According to several "internnet" scouts, Lindstrom sholud be better than Iginla...but it does not make Iginla a bad pick either !!!

Habs should pick 2.3 or 4 by trading pick #24 and Matheson for 1 of those picks so lets talk to Chicago, Anaheim, or Columbus and pick what fits and be prepared to add to our #5 pick and Add 2 prime talents to our line up. Management will pick the best 2 that fits their plans!

This year's d-men are much better than last year and last year's forwards were much better (Michkov and Benson). The habs di EVERYTHING wrong, selecting Reinbacker last year (Ranked 15th) and tnis year they willbe selecting a forward ranked lower that 10th because thaere arn't any available. End result we will have a ranked 15th defenseman and. Ranked 11th Forward. Good job Habs👍

You are 100% wrong. I understand we wanted offense, I don't disagree. I wanted Mishkov last year too and was disappointed. But now that I look back... They took Slaf > Wright. Reinbacher > Mishkov.

@danielmontreal007 23 күн бұрын
The odds that Demidov and Lindstrom* will leave between 2 and 4 are very high. In these circumstances my preference is undoubtedly Tij Iginla who has all the facets to be an important contribution to the future success of the Habs for several years. With his character on the ice, the elevation of his performances in front of strong competition and the many comments on his personality off the ice make Tij Iginla a “natural” Habs. I vote Tij! * I am very impressed with Lindstrom but I believe Tij Iginla is tiptoeing gradually and may have passed Lindstrom. The question for Gorton, Hughes, Bobrov and Lapointe may be who they will be comfortable working with for at least the next ten years. I think it's Iginla.
@dougiesherwin9591 23 күн бұрын
For what it's worth, Coach Frenchy agrees with you. He thinks Lindstrom is too injury prone, and he loves Tij. My view is that Kent Hughes and his team forgot more about assessing young talent than I'll ever know, and by now every Habs fan should have learned to give them the benefit of the doubt.

@@dougiesherwin9591 I assume Lindstrom is fit to continue his career because there is no "pattern" of injuries and for the rest it would require a medical evaluation which will perhaps come at the combine. I don't understand your second paragraph which appears contradictory in terms. I have complete confidence in the Habs recruiting team. Since Serge Savard I had no confidence, but I am now confident the Montreal Canadiens will soon be positioned for glory.

@@AnaheimRob 👍🏼 Lindstrom or Iginla will probably be drafted between two and four therefore maybe not available for Montreal. Tij is six feet tall and was born August 4th (17yo) and will probably gain 1 or 2 inches. At 6'1'' did Jérome Iginla have a stature problem? Size and weight will not be a problem for Tij Iginla. PS: Jerome was 200 to 210 during his career and Tij is now at 185 and could go up to 195 or a bit more. We can already see that he is solid.

The ceiling for Slaf? Im gonna say he could likely get between 80-90 points per season. If the Habs develop a LEGIT 2nd line and develop a bonafide #1 Defenceman able to QB the PP & move the puck well, then he has a chance to push past 100 points. This will take a few more years to develop that quality D man from our current or soon to be acquired players PLUS a second line that other teams will have to prepare for, but I see it coming.
