Hughes
Tkachuk
Boqvist

In that order.
Boqvist only being included because he looks like a stud.

It should be:

Which Center are you picking before KK?


Since the habs picked for organizational need. He may still be the best center prospect there.

Terrible way to draft when there’s much more talented players on the board. It’s more understandable if your picking #20-31. But you have a lotto pick and you selected a less talented player bc he’s a center. Imagine leafs drafting Laine bc they needed a winger. Or penguins drafting price bc they needed a goalie. Top 10 picks you draft talent imo

This post is about the present date, who would you pick over KK. There doesnt need to be a specific length of time that passes. I can make this post again in a year, and all the opinions will be different.

Why take Romanov over KK when he was projected to go like 80 something overall and MTL took him 38th

I totally agree.

This year, there might be a debate between Lafreniere (winger) and Byfield or Strutlz (centers)

When Laf is clearly the best player in that draft.

This isnt about the actual draft... Its about the skill of the players at this current date and who youd rather take over KK if that draft was redone today

A lot of people are saying a lot of different things about KK. Kk is 19 he can become a solid center. As of right now he’s not great he’s more “average”. Habs fans want him to become Barkov so bad that his expectations are way too high. Maybe he can become a Jordan Staal type? A great 3rd line shutdown center than scored 35 Ish points. He still would serve a pretty significant role and looks like the habs have some promising center prospects besides him. Lets say he’s scores 35 points but prevents 80? Hard to measure this but hypothetically that would be awesome. Just saying the defensive side of the puck doesn’t get a lot of love but it’s pretty important. I love Hagelin but Orpik can out score him.

Ohhhhhh

No i met, he's the best center prospect in his draft

Also, I still think KK upside is higher than Suzuki, although Suzuki is the better player now,
