At 9 OA - Habs draft Reinbacher, or fail onto Dvorsky
At 17 OA - Habs draft any of Wood, Barlow, Heidt, Gulyayev (in that order)
At 29 - Habs draft Dragicevic, But, Gauthier (in that order)
It may not be Elite talent, but the team would get bigger and this would be a huge infusion of skill at places where we are weak.

Habs back down from the uncertainty of selecting Michkov and prefer to have 3 lower picks
I'm big on Smith. One of Carlsson, Michkov, Smith, or even Benson would be a step up from whoever's there at 9.
Benson might be there at 9. I'm happy with any of Moore, Benson, Reinbacher, Leanord along with others I wouldn't be disappointed in like Barlow and Dvorsky. The thing with this draft is so many players could be anywhere between #6-18 basically. Maybe not quite that late but you get the idea. Now what I'm arguing is the difference between one of those #6-10 players and Michkov greater than the difference between whoever we get at #17 and #37. The only scenario I see this happening is Michkov, Montreal takes Smith or Carlsson.

Yeah agreed. I think we have seen some late surges from players like Danielson and Willander that could both be top 20 picks. I know alot of mock drafts have Willander going in the second round but I see him going as high as us trading him at #17. I wouldn't be sad about it.

I would love to see a Benson/Michkov/Carlsson/Smith + Willander/Stenberg draft.
