Sujet: Habs draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Just_A_Guess</b></div><div>How do you consider that trolling?

We still don't have our top 6 C's figured out, we need RD, we need a goalie. We have endless wingers already so I don't see a point in drafting more with our top picks.

If I was trolling I'd tell you to trade our 1sts for that bum in WPG.</div></div>

Habs need Elite players. Cause right now Caufield and Hutson and maybe Guhle are our elite prospects. Defence isnt even that much of a need. You have 6 guys and 3 of them can or are elite already in Matheson (playing like a #2 d man), Hutson, and Guhle. Harris, Barron and Mailloux can fill out the top 6

Now for forwards. Caufield is the only elite player. Suzuki is a 2nd line C, Dach can be the 3rd best player on the 1st line and Slaf is a 60 point player max. farrell, roy and beck are good depth pieces but nothing over 55-60 points on a career year. Thats 6 of the top 9 (you need 9 good forwards to win a cup, not only 6). And they need 1 more elite forward, and 1 good top 6 guy. Dubois can be the good top 6 guy and Benson would be the final elite forward.

Dvorsky is a 2nd line player but 3rd line on a cup team
Reinbacher is like Mailloux or Barron quality so a waste of a pick

Its better to draft the elite player at 5 and trade the 12 (or draft Leonard or Cristall) to complete the forward group

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Not sure who is the 26th ranked RHD you are referring to but Reinbacher is ranked 7th OVA in this draft as of the 7th by Pronman and ASP is ranked 18th but most mock drafts have both going between 10th and 20th. So if you are referring to one of those 2 guys then yes I want the Habs to select them, my preference is Reinbacher though</div></div>

Pronman is a moron. Dude just likes to be different so people will buy the Athletic to read his garbage. Reinbacher is a low 1st round pick. Hes playing like average in Swiss League. Habs dont need average d men. Barron and Mailloux are at worst on par with Reinbacher but most likely above him.

You drat best player available. And at 5-7 range, one of Benson, Michkov, Cristall or Smith will be available. And at 12-14 range, Leonard, Gulyayev, or Moore will be available.

Sujet: If the reports are true
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>That's what we're doing right now. Educating ignorance. Letting posters know why Anderson isn't a desirable player and no one is giving up anything of value for him. It was Montreal fans on this site, that perpetuated the Anderson will return a 1st and top prospect myth.

Many posters, other than myself, pointed out that it wasn't a realistic scenario, but were anyways shouted down with Montreal fans telling us Hughes had turned down a 1st and top prospect from multiple teams, so that means Anderson is worth more than that. We'd counter back with, without knowing what the other teams were asking Montreal to take back, contract wise, in exchange you can't say Anderson is worth a 1st and top prospect in a vacuum.

So, no matter what logical reasoning was presented it always ended with "Montreal had turned down multiple offers of a 1st plus for Anderson" so that is his value.

For more education on just how bad Anderson's contract is consider that he not only carries that $5.5 cap hit which is awful as it stands. He is also being paid $8.0M next year and $7.0M the year after in real dollars. How do you justify that? How does a team justify that to other players on their team looking for a raise? You can get a far better player than Anderson for $8.0M.

If you're interested in educating the ignorance, why not address the prison that made the ACGM and point our why teams works have no interest in Anderson instead of going after posters that say they doubt their team is taking him on.</div></div>

Ignorance is blatantly disregarding a players MARKET value based on your own PERSONAL feelings on a player. Hes wanted by GMs. Thats a fact. Calgary offered a 1st and Habs rejected it. Thats not 100% factual but there are trusted reporters who reported this. His actual money owed doesnt matter for anyone unless youre a poverty franchise. Youre grasping at straws about an actually decent player who has skills many dont and GMs seem to love. Size and Speed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>You made my point perfectly by using the word "UPSIDE." No one is <strong>predicting</strong> that those players will reach that level, whereas not only did everyone predict that Clarke would be a top-4 defenseman, he showed proof of that estimation in his brief audition with the team. In short, he's the real deal (like Guhle); the others are potentials (like Hutson).</div></div>

See Hutson is the real deal, like these prospects I named. They are that good and everyone would be surprised if they busted. Their floor is top 6 forward. Like how Guhle and Clarkes floors are top 4 d men and Hutsons is top 4 d man. But if you wanna talk about ceilings (which what gms look for), our of all the players mentioned. Clarke has the lowest one
