IS IT CAYDEN LINDSTROM OR BUST FOR THE MONTREAL CANADIENS? #nhldraft #nhl #bostonbruins #canadiens



With the #5 overall selection in this June’s NHL Draft (at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada), several draft experts are saying the Montreal Canadiens want to upgrade both their size and skill level at forward.
Is Cayden Lindstrom the pick for Montreal or will he be selected sooner? Would Montreal call Chicago Columbus or Anaheim to try to move up to select Lindstrom or would they select Berkly Catton, Tij Iginla or a great defensive prospect like Artyem Levshumov or Zeev Buium?

  1. I like Lindstrom but if he was good as Eric Lindros….he would go 1st overall. Unfair comparison. Lindstrom is more comparable to Quinton Byfield.

  2. I feel Lidstrom might be the guy the Habs NEED to be good because of his size but I am not saying he will be that good he might end up just another ho hum low impact player..
    I do not think much of Iginla or Sennecke I feel they are average players you would pick in the second round.
    I agree Tor needs defense but can they really wait a couple years because imo they are frustrated and very close to chaning the roster.So I feel Tor needs a D man right now that can step in and play top 4 or top 2.
    If I was MTL Hughes I would make an off the charts incredible trade to acquire Marner for Hutson but Tor would have to maintain 2 mil of the contract.Tor would get their fast skating puck mover similar to Reilly but an even better skater while MTL gets a speedy offensive forward that could skate well along with Suzuki and Cole making for a quick line.
    It would be a fair deal because both teams getting small players sure both would like bigger guys for the playoffs but MTL doesn't have anything to offer other than maybe Matheson.
