Quoting: HabsRafiki
Seems pretty fair, though I'd rather have a pick in 2020 or 2021 than Raddysh, who is a risky prospect. If looking for players, Habs would do better to ask for someone like Cirelli, Baree-Boulet or Fortier, a player who can plug right in.
Man, Raddysh is a solid prospect. I don't know what youre watching? Draft picks are way more risky as you may draft a dud. Raddysh is a future NHL'er. How good he will be depends on him and its looking promising so far.
Also Cirelli is not an option. He's a stud. Barre-Boulet is more likely but saying he's better than Raddysh is not fair at all. BB is a 22 yo 5'9 undrafted prospect. You know whose else did that? David Desharnais......... Fortier I don't know enough about but other than a really good combine last year, I'm not sold he's a stud. I'm way more sure of Raddysh than Fortier as of right now. Barre Boulet has potential but Im not willing to go all crazy for him either. AHL scoring does not means NHL scoring.
Raddysh is younger and bigger, played for team Canada and was dominant for that team, had a solid rookie season in the AHL and is poised for a breakout year if he's not in the NHL. I don't think anyone can say Raddysh is risky. Barre Boulet is the risky one.....
I also think us Montreal fans are jealous of TB's knack for undrafted or late round draft Quebecors who turn into studs. Marchessault, Gourde, Paquette, etc. that they drawn to Barre Boulet for that reason alone.
