Montreal Canadiens Draft Targets at 5th Overall

  1. If we draft Dvorsky or Reinbacher I’m gonna be pissed. If we want a chance at a cup in a few years we need to take shots on players with the highest ceilings. Based on what the front office said about picking Slafkovsky I think they understand that.

    As for Reinbacher, we need another talented Center and this year is full of them, and we have enough defensive prospects.

  2. To be honest, if they think Reinbacher’s ceiling is say, top1 D, ifs debatable wether or not he’s more useful than center.

    Wether he’s really a top1 D or the other guy really is a top1 center is another story. But good dman can play half the game

  3. Like many, I am convinced Mitchkov needs to go before our pick for us to take someone /r/habs want.

    Si on ne repêche pas un gars du top 5 c’est un flop monumental. On à la chance de soit repêcher un ailier générationnel / all star ou un probable futur centre numéro 1. Si Hughes est pas confiant de repêcher le gars du top 5 restant (Fantilli, Carlsson, Michkov, Smith) qui va glisser à notre position, faut tout faire pour s’avancer. On a beaucoup d’asset pour pouvoir le faire.
    C’est ben beau les joueurs top 6 et les bon défenseurs, mais on a besoin de talent élite à l’attaque.

    Yet again no one mentions Leonard who I really believe the Habs will pick if they don’t like the consensus top 5. That guy will help you win a cup.

  6. Their list is:

    * Smith
    * Michkov
    * Carlsson
    * Dvorsky
    * Reinbacher

    This isn’t anything new, but I think Leonard and Benson could also be added to the group.

    The most intriguing scenario is the one where Bedard, Fantili, Carlsson and Smith all go 1-4 and Habs are dead set on not touching Michkov. That removes 3 names from that list.

    So you end up at #5 with a pool of options having Dvorsky, Benson, Leonard, Reinbacher. Those are the guys we know have been mostly talked about in the 6-10 range.

  7. someone should teach Caleb Desjardins how to use spellcheck… the number of typos in here is atrocious

    If Montreal really is dead set on not picking Michkov, we’ve got to pray that San Jose takes him and saves us from our own stupidity.

    If he does drop to us, and we end up passing on him, I’d be immensely disappointed if we took Dvorsky or Reinbacher instead. Both seem like they will be quality players, but neither of them have particularly high ceilings. It would feel like such a waste to have a top 5 pick in such a talent heavy draft, then go on to make a “safe” pick.

    If we insist on passing on Michkov, I’d rather gamble on someone like Benson or Leonard, who at least have the potential to be offensive stars. As it stands Caufield is really the only player on this roster I think even has the potential to be a point per game player, and that is still kind of iffy. We really need another offensive weapon.

  10. I would like michkov… but I also wanted wright and was pissed when we passed.. but then i read and saw about his attitude and I understood and i’m glad we passed. I trust Hugues, has taken great decisions for us so far
