Who the Habs, Sens and Flames should take in the NHL Draft?

With the order for the 2024 NHL Draft unchanged after an uneventful lottery on Tuesday, TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins 7-Eleven That's Hockey to discuss who the Canadiens, Senators and Flames should target with their picks in the first round.

[@TWISTEDSUNRISEKI]

Tijj for flames

[@davidgee4048]

He'll be gone by then.

[@michaelb1621]

Will have to trade the 9th and something nice to the habs for the fifth.

[@emilioedj]

There's almost no chance Ottawa drafting a LD. Maybe if they trade Chych at the draft even then, Ottawa is dying for a RD

[@raccoon2899]

If they do, they basically have to trade both chychrun and chabot. With the trades maybe spread out through a year or 2 depending on how good the LD is

[@DizzyDez613]

💯 No way Levshunov will still be on the table. So I want Parekh. I know he’s not the first choice in terms of style. But I think he could be sick in the future with Sandy. Yakemchuk is also interesting. I’m just not sure you take him at 7. IFFFFF we took a LD, it better be Saliyev.

[@fresh7975]

Yea I don’t know what this guy is talking about. If Staois took a left D the fans would run him out of town

[@fresh7975]

@@DizzyDez613that’s what I’m saying bro parekh is the way to go. I know he’s more offensive but he’s the best RD available at 7th

[@googleisshit3220]

​@@fresh7975..more offensive 😂...I think you meant all offense.

[@andrewclarke8163]

Sens are overflowing with good young LD. Literally the only position where I wouldn't pick BPA. They need a RD really badly but I could also see them draft a forward who they think is BPA.

[@italian1ist]

I think they pick Yakumchuk

[@edarsenault5698]

​@@italian1ist Yakemchuk to Ostapchuk to Tkachuk! I like the sound of that😂

[@AR-wm9lv]

Sens are overflowing with nothing. No decent player would ever go there willingly. Giroux only went because he's washed up

[@AR-wm9lv]

@@edarsenault5698 No one watches them. I'm going to buy the Sens for 8 cents and move them to Arizona. They'll get more fans in the building down there 🤣🤣🤣

[@nahiyanishtiaque1283]

if Sens choose to select a player for the backend, it will be Parekh or Yakemchuk

[@nickboyd6716]

I would LOVE Sam Dickinson in Ottawa. Chabot and Chychrun can both kick rocks and we rock out with Sandy + Dickinson to run the left side for the future.

[@stevenmclarssen6608]

Tij isnt getting past pick 7

[@jonathanharris5310]

Button calling for the sens to take ANOTHER LD lolol identified the D issue but apparently didnt look at the shot sides

[@mikegravel5310]

Why they dont wait for that right after memorial cup some player are good in that tournement

[@frankmacdougall938]

Apparently, someone doesn't watch any sens hockey. A big left shot LD that joins the rush. Ottawa already has a bunch of left shot LD. They need a veteran defensive right shot RD. They ain't getting that from the draft. How about a big two way right shot RW who can bodycheck. They have two RW in their system and one of those is always injured and was taken too high in the draft. Claude Giroux won't be around forever. He's over 35. They need more replacements for the right wing. Left shot guys are a dime a dozen in each position.

[@Spanishflea.]

Toronto media

[@italian1ist]

I could see Yakumchuk or Sennecka who has been absolutely dominating in the playoffs.

[@madfenix99]

How about mike matheson for your 7th overall. Big rd who plays a lot of minutes, can throw a hit and he is a good veteran with the young guy in mtl. What do you think?

[@OzvitekGaming]

A LD to ottawa?

[@ericbisson2785]

At the earliest, he would play in Ottawa in 2-3 years. You have to pick the best player regarless of position.

[@barryjames73]

A+ pick selections for each team. Dickinson, in particular, is exactly what the Sens need to solidify their blueline.

[@Leblock_James]

Wrong side Sanderson Chabot Chychurn all play left side Ottawa Needs a RHD

[@09MTL]

For The Habs I would say Lindstrom, Kontus, Eiserman or Iginla and Maybe Demidov if Hughes is willing since he missed out on Michkov. Last draft. The habs need forwards that can score and play offensively and we have so much Defense in our system that if they get another Defense it would be difficult for them to find goal scorers.

[@ZombieJeezus420]

I want lidstrom for habs

[@user-te4ji7sl4z]

How did he miss out😂 he went 8th.. had a list of teams he didn’t want to go. Hughes didn’t miss a thing

[@09MTL]

@@user-te4ji7sl4z Well according to many fans and people he missed out on Mitchkov. He was available at 5 but he went 7th. He Chose Reinbacher while 2023 was full of good forwards. He decided to go for a defensemen and not a player who is coming to N.A. by this or next year. The fans wanted Mitchkov so badly so technically we missed out but for Hughes I guess he did.

[@ezralefthand9929]

Iginla is going to be committed than the other prospects.

[@29bryon]

The Habs need a dynamic forward, someone like Matvei Michkov..

[@Jake23115]

Cole Caufield.... they desperately need size up front.

[@bedbath9056]

Hughes messed up last year.

[@d.r.2669]

It's been almost a year and people still don't know Michkov didn't want to go to Mtl..... he would have request a trade, smart move not to put the team in that sotuation

[@onlinestoregems9010]

Sens better pick Igilna. Second best in draft hands down

[@pokematt8182]

Trade Chyc and yeah we can draft Dickinson. Then after a while our top 2 LHD is Dick and Sand.

[@mikegravel5310]

Ottawa does a pretty bad job for their coach 1 mistake not taken groulx and now he are in russia in KHL

[@dionmorray5933]

There is a reason why his brother has missed on so many draft picks, and he was fired as a general manager, and never given a second chance, they suck and they shouldn’t have voices.

[@onlinestoregems9010]

Trade Chychrun for a right D and draft Igilna. That kid is going to be a top goal scorer in the league for many many years. No point drafting a D at 17-18 that will take years to develop while Chabot and Sanderson are in their 20s. Dman take longer to develop and by that time Chabot is retired and Saunderson is in his late 20s. Get Tig Igilna and have that kid contribute in a year or 2. Kid has incredible talent and character. Most dominating at U18 and one of the youngest in the draft. I just don’t see how Sens pass on such a talented character guy and goal scorer.

[@AR-wm9lv]

Don't worry. The Sens will screw it up like they screw up everything. Enjoy another 10 years of missing the playoffs 🤣🤣🤣
