Keep our #5 not worth giving up on Joshua Roy imo we will still be able to draft a suitable player with our #5 and JR is better at this stage than most #5's

[@nunyabidness159]

Assuming CBJ and MTL come to an agreement to swap picks with the intent of MTL getting one of the 2 guys mentioned, it would only happen AT the draft when it's CBJs time to pick. It wouldn't happen before the draft.

[@pentifexmonolith]

Yes and it will only happen if one of those 2 guys are still available

Don’t you dare give up on Joshua Roy!

[@bangbangyoureaboolean1324]

Laraque proposed trading Slaf for PLD last year, was on it really hard. I respect the guy and what he did in and for Montreal, but I wouldn't necessary put too much stock in his idea's for thoughts on what the Habs NEED to do.

[@HabsFan1978]

💯

[@savax1551]

for listening to Laraque for a few of his takes, i have not heard a single one that would make sense in either draft or trade... For me it's in order of who is available Demidov, Lindstrom & Iginla. No need to move up moving down if we know Tij will be available sounds good to my ears . Besides all these guys have years before we can say who was stolen at what rank and who was a bust.

[@FooFahFoeFum]

Silayev. Maybe????

[@cdizzle]

Giving up an asset to move up one spot in a draft is asinine. Hughes is not that dumb thankfully

[@FooFahFoeFum]

Yes not stupid ... But he still trades for smurfs.... Who are soft... But the hall of famer coach approves of the soft shrimps ... Daahhh

[@brianawilk285]

I know right, the whole purpose for trading up is to get in front of a team thats gonna take your guy but the only team you're getting in front of is the team traded you the pick. So obviously they weren't taking your guy.

[@samspade4050]

That would be a brutal trade those so called experts that brought this up are completely clueless

[@kevinboisvert5610]

Why would Montreal make a trade to get someone before the picks are made. You would wait till 1-3 are picked and see if any of them are available before you called Columbus on the draft floor and tried to move up then if they wanted to do that.

[@Rysk12]

No need to give up Roy to move up one spot. I would be very content with any of Demidov, Lindstrom, Catton, Iginla, even Sennecke.

Aaah the Reinbacher pick in haunting us lolll drafting a D in a forward draft at 5th 2023.. now forced to draft a forward in a D draft at 5th... L A M E 😂 Lindstrom is not a rop 5 forward talent.... DEMIDOV is a good pick period.. THE LAST DRAFT RIDE.. MAKE IT COUNT KENTY

[@zblip22]

The real deal here is Berkley Catton. I am an old dude. I was there when the Québec Nordiques drafted Joe Sakic. Catton reminds me a lot of Sakic. Dangerous in any situation, he can shoot, he can pass, he can improvise... Future star to me.

No, not Roy, There are a lot of scouts that are saying after Celebrini and maybe Demidov there is good forward talent available, Some are bigger, some are smaller with better puck sense etc. Habs could package some players to make room on the blueline

[@jean-lucst-cyr2762]

Don't trade Roy for a pick! We know what we have with Joshua Roy and a pick is a toss of fate, never know what we are going to get.

[@robertlavigne9828]

I would. By fifth Montreal's option might be only a defenseman instead of an offense powerhouse like Lindstrom. I don't believe Roy will be a top 6 regardless of what many think

[@zeeshawnali4078]

We don't have to draft a forward. One of the defensive prospects is fine too if that's all that's available. We have assets we can move for a forward.

[@DneilB007]

Columbus would probably do the trade; not so much for Roy (Columbus doesn’t need another middle-6 F), but mostly because they’re 99% likely to take a D at #4 anyway, and if they can add another asset and then draft the player they were going to take anyway, of course you do it. Or maybe you take the guy for future considerations, where the future considerations are not taking the guy Montreal wants. EDIT: either way, it’s the wrong move to make. You would want to approach either Anaheim or Chicago with an offer for their picks; and I’m pretty sure that Chicago would be open to trading their 2nd overall for a pair of first round picks. They’re not close enough to competing that it wouldn’t make sense to stockpile first rounders whenever possible.

[@viper29ca]

Laraque is about as reliable as a wet noodle being used as a tow strap. Take anything he says with a big truck sized grain of salt. Demidov won't be there at 5. I don't think he will even be there at 4. If Chicago doesn't take him (doubtful), then Anaheim or Columbus would. I am not adding Roy to my 5th pick in any trade. It wouldn't take that much. I don't even think it would take the Habs pick and the WPG pick. Could probably do it with the 5th and 2nd. They have two seconds in 2025 I think you would have to move up to 3 to guarantee either Demidov or Lindstrom. If neither is available, even at 4, then you go with Iginla, Catton, or Eiserman. Personally I think you wait it out, and keep your 5th take whomever is available as a forward at 5, then you trade the 2024 WPG pick, the 2025 Calgary pick and a player, to get you back into the top 10 in 2024, and take one of the other forwards.

[@Stephan428]

The best trade we make are usually the ones we don’t do

[@hytheardcharle2955]

Cole eiserman Tij inginla Cayden Lindstrom Either of these guys and it’s a win for mtl

[@djyanno]

If you are 4 and Demidov and Lindstrom are taken, I would jump on Levshunov. But all in all I say keep 5

[@powers1500]

Don't be surprised if 2 or even 3 defensemen are taken top4...Go check Corey Pronman's latest 2024 prospects ranking. Pronman and Mackenzie are two of the best for rating prospects !!!

[@QRM00]

I really think that Levshunov will be a Hawk or a Duck. I can't see him falling below 3 because both teams need a high-end RD.

[@djyanno]

@@QRM00 obviously. I was merely talking about a possibility. Much like Bo Callahan

[@bedbath9056]

Our this year draft failed by last year draft, it was just stupid to draft a def men last year knowing that this year draft pool is more concentrated with def men. Last year was offensive player pool, i am starting to questioning if Hughes is the right GM for habs.

[@centerhice7948]

I ve been saying its a bust if we dont come out with one of those two players . But i believe ee have to move up to 2nd or 3rd pick to get them . Otherwise we could still miss out on one of the two. So we have to move up to 2nd or 3rd position to gaurenting it. But i wouldnt put Roy in that deal.

[@user-ku8qw8bg8c]

Why not both demidov and seneka !!

[@jamescoogan4167]

In Chicago, I’m hearing that the Habs and Hawks could be flipping spots !

[@dlphcoracl9645]

Kyle from Chicago is not that dumb. KD is staying at No. 2 and drafting either Levshunov or Demidov.

[@jamescoogan4167]

⁠@@dlphcoracl9645 Cam Robinson from Elite Prospects was on a show the other day and doesn’t think very highly of Levshunov as a #1 defenseman. Can the Hawks take the chance of the uncertainty of Deminov being allowed to come during this political climate. If Montreal is willing to give you a top prospect to flip I think KFC definitely needs to listen.

[@JordanLeGrand]

Not Roy, a prospect like Filip Mesar/Riley Kidney/Jared Davidson + the jet 1st overall maybe

[@jakecarroll5]

I feel like trading Roy would just re apply the curse from trading the other Roy....lets not do this to ourselves and just keep him. I have a feeling he is going to be like Ryder a great 30 goal scorer who is clutch.

[@cromagnoneightyseven6951]

with mesar + davidson+ the jets pick (that gone down) we could fetch a Nygard or Connelly

[@denisdrga6709]

I think you’re giving up Mesar too cheap and too early. This guy is complete magic. Just needs to bulk up a bit and he will be amazing middle six forward for us. I bet he’s gonna turn out better than Roy.

[@brendanaucoin]

Catton, POUND FOR POUND THE BEST FORWARD IN THE DRAFT. WE,RE CRAZY FOR SIZE. One giant per line so we have Dach, Slav, Suzuki is 210 pounds and can play against the giants ,Armia is a giant for the 4th line with Beck and Evans for the best checking line in decades, one more giant maybe but don.t lose the Cattons that are like habs gems of our past Lafluer and Rocket was 5ft 10in but were giants. Catton will add pounds but has every thing we need ,a play driver. Slav has the moves the shot etc Mesar adds a lot but we need that drive and talent that blend to the overall team concept. Every scorer needs a passer etc

Demidov’s game doesn’t look like it suits what MTL is looking for in their forward core. Sure it looks flashy and impressive but Iginla’s game looks more translatable to the NHL and what the Habs are looking for. He plays bigger than he is and really the only downside in his highlights is his skating (Paul Byron can help with that). That’s assuming Lindstom is taken within the top 4 (if not, either of the two are the safer, more full proof pick). Missing on this pick kinda ruins the rebuild and forces MTL to trade futures for an already established NHL’er.

To much

[@lukefortin9616]

George Laraque was nothing but a goon on the ice and when he stopped being a goon he was useless. He was not a good hockey player and has no idea what a good trade is.

The perpetual rebuild.

[@andrewwhyte9944]

I look at the Habs after 2+ years of the new management team and I see very little progress. Yes Slav, Roy, and Rienbacker may be good players later on but, this team is way too soft. I am watching the playoffs right now and our team would'nt make it through one round even if they had a lot more talent! Dach, Ghule, Newhook, Caufield, Harris, RHP, Baron, and Hutson are too soft, fragile, and small, to compete in a physical playoff series. We need a GM and VP who have actually played hockey at the NHL level. After 2 1/2 years, I'm not confident with MSL as coach either. People keep saying the habs have a promising defence but, they can't get the puck out of the D zone when under pressure. In the playoffs, if we ever get there, there will be constant pressure on the D zone. We need better defence and coaching just to maybe make it to the playoffs. Right now we have no sand, no drive, no exit strategy, and no coaching. Get an experienced NHL management and coaching team, or, 5 years from now we still will not make the playoffs or get past the 1st round.

We are never getting out of this rebuild. As a decade long #1 fan of the CH, this is ridiculous
