2 | | - | | I feel like Arizona need skills down the middle. |
3 | | - | | If he doesn't go 2nd, there's no way he slips lower than 3rd |
4 | | - | | Arguable here, could have go with Savoie, but Jiricek is the best d-man available this year. |
5 | | - | | Smaller frame center. High skill, with Jack Hughes already lacking size, could be problematic, but Savoie is, at that point, the best available option. |
6 | | | | Here is Jones's replacement. Already playing with man in Slovakia, really looking at a solid 2-way d-man. |
7 | | - | | Slowed down in 2nd half of the season down in Finland. I read he had trouble adjusting after returning from an injury. This guy was killing it in the first half of his season. Intriguing talent for sure. |
8 | | - | | With 3 first round selection, Buffalo is here to make a statement. Still, they are yet again missing the playoffs. Geekie, who's idol is Draisaitl, really relate to him as on ice style of play. Big frame, lack of speed. Nothing to be worried about. Love this guy's potential. |
9 | | - | | Can we talk about Brad as a disappointment? Yeah we could. As previously ranked 3rd overall. He showed struggle in Finland before putting on a hockey clinic in the WJC-20, before it got cancelled. Detroit have a tendency to draft kids with lots of potential who needs maturity. |

16 | | | | Here is a guy a love to watch play the game. Reminds me a bit of Bowen Byram. As for the Habs, they do not own a selection in that range. Unless Calgary slips one in the first round. Even so, we are looking more into a early 20th position ranking. Also, LD,f. But, farm is full of those. But yet again, love this kid. |

25 | | - | | Yeah, I thought him... Unfortunately, I don't think he'll still be seating in the crowd when the Habs speaks later. DD, smart 2-way d-man. Ex-1st overall in the Q. Would be a beautiful asset on a 2nd paring in any NHL franchise. |

27 | | | | I think Montreal could take the gamble on that one. First of all, Romanov could use some Russian fellowship within the locker-room. Second of all, this is the Habs's 2nd first round selection. Decreasing significantly the pressure on him. Third, if it weren't for is disease, Miroshnichenko would have been a top-5 talent without a doubt. As for fellow French Canadian, let's remember Maxence Parrot, who was diagnosed with the same disease. Took some time to heal, and then won another Gold medal in the Olympics. Worth dreaming. Get well kid. |

29 | | - | | Kent's son, don't really see the relevance of drafting him. Yes, he was an underage in the NCAA. But I personally see 3-4 better player for the Habs to draft than him. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Plus, it was already discussing wayyy too much in the media about the Gorton Country Club. Imagine if a kid like Gaucher gets picked and Jack pulls a Leblanc. Ouch! |
30 | | | | |
31 | | | | Have you see the size of that dude? |
32 | | | | Love this guy as well. RD, could really be a fit. He is also around the youngest in this years class. Can't let Ivan slips between our fingers though. Anyway, as of 30-35, I have Gaucher before Salomonsson, so, the only scenario I have for the Habs to take him, is if the Gaucher is gone first. |
