Ranking All Of The Habs First Round Picks 2000-2019

Caufield should slide down a bunch and Koivu should be there

They are just the worst drafting team of all time

The list is first round selections 2000-2019. Koivu was drafted in 1993.

Also, Caufield is where he should be.

I didn't see the 2000 cap and Caufield's played less than 200 games, Patches played over 800 and was the captain

Galchenyuk deserves some more respect because he was damn good in Montreal

I think recency bias is playing a little bit with Galchenyuk, he was not a star by any means but he was pretty good while he was here, solid 0.55-0.7 ppg player for a few years.

Because Caufield is so young, they are picking biased off potential. Caufield’s potential blows any Pacioretty totals for Montreal out of the water. Caufield has 48 goals and 70 points in his last 82 games, that is way higher g/gp then Patches ever did. That’s why he is second.

And he's not played 70 games in a season yet... and Patches did, when he left Montreal for Vegas where he had 154 points in 157 games, roughly 79 points per 82

And it's not like Caufield is anywhere near competent defensively

Where are you getting your numbers from? Because Pacioretty has 194 in 224 games in his career with Vegas and thats a 71 point average pace with a 36 average goal pace. Also Caufield on most defensive advanced stats is either around average or slightly below average, that is not "not anywhere near competent".

From the 2019-20 season to the 2021-22 season, that's Pacioretty's stat line was 154 points in 157 games

And if you're trying to argue that Caufield is average defensively, you're completely wrong

I'm not saying he is average, I'm saying he is a below average but not terrible. "not anywhere near competent" is a way over exaggeration.

A little bit... But he's not getting any Selke votes any time soon
