  1. Simply put: Last year was rich with talented forwards and this year is rich with d-Men. Stupid Habs picked a d-Man last year (ranked 15th) and will be picking a forward this year will be ranked below 10th. If the Habs had chosen Mitchkov or another talented forward last year, they would have the liberty to choose any of the future superstar d-Men available this year. This catastrophic error is going have consequences for years to come. And in 10 years, when we will wonder why we are stuck in the middle of the pack with a "Ok" team, it will be because of this. Imagine if we had picked Mitchkov or Zack Benson or Leonard last year and we were picking Zeev Buium which is way better than Reinbacker. Wow… We'd be shopping for foldable chairs for the Stanley Cup parade already.

  2. Great job, question what if Demidov or Lindstrom is not there at 5, that means that there a lot of defensemen available, and three forwards ( catton, eisermain inginla) all providing a different type of skill set but ranked similarly, that maybe a scenario where you can trade down and still get one of them. What would you do, and who would you pick.
