<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Villainitus</b></div><div>there is an excess of everything on the team but the habs dont have a bad first few lines on their roster and do have a horrible defense as of right now. How do you know for sure the depth for their defense is actually going to be any good at the nhl level? With the 5th pic overall in this draft their are plenty of Defensemen that are going to be nhl ready and most likely good players immediately vs waiting years before hoping your current depth of defensemen are ready to play. Go Defense now while you still got the pick and you will be good to go for in the NEAR future. Its either that your you guys can throw another season in hopes of landing another top pick, just like chicago did to get bedard</div></div>

Their lack of scoring is a more pressing need. They need a bigger centre to take the heat off Suzuki so that Dach or Newhook are better suited as wingers.
At LHD, Habs currently have Matheson 11g, 51a last year, Team Canada world championship Defenseman Kaiden Guhle, Up and coming two time Hobey Baker NCAA finalist nominee Lane Hutson (speed, small offensive), Arber Xhekaj for toughness - 3rd pairing, Jayden Struble who surprised with promotion to the team last year and blew away his draft combine in physical fitness tests, Adam Engstrom - an up an comer out of sweden, and Jack of all trades Jordan Harris - 7 - count them and 6 other than Matheson all under the age of 24! I would not call that LHD side horrible in terms of development ceiling.
If anything on D the habs should pick a RHD like Parekh or Yakemchuk but they are not best player available at #5. Sam Dickinson is overrated like Jack Quinn was in his draft year as he plays on an incredibly stacked London Knights team - Does Dickinson lead that team? No Cowan, Bonk, Haltunen etc. are the leaders and make Dickinson look good.
You're about the ONLY one that says Habs pick a LHD-man. EVERY other mock draft specialist says pick a forward or RHD at #5.
