Thread: Habs 24-25
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>You dont need any D but thats another conversation
What i wanted to point out is Matheson-Guhle is our top pair most of the year
Savard went out Months blocking 3 shots in a row and gave Guhle basically the first half of the year there
Matheson doesnt get to 60 points IMO if any other Dman in our system players Mathesons RD.
We've seen it the last 2 years that Matheson doesnt play well with others a lot of the time.
He needs a guy capable of handling a lot of 2v1 and 3v1 when he turns over the puck or blows entries.

Guhle for that reason will be here long after Mathesons Traded
Guhle is everything we need him to be at such an early age where he's just Reacting .
Give him space to lead with Matheson and Savard gone , it'll be like with Suter and Weber left NSH leading to the rise of Josi, Ellis and Ekholm</div></div>

I don’t disagree, I see him as chip to get a very good top 6 forward (which we may not have in the system). I like your point even and appreciate how well he performed on the right side.

If we draft someone like Sam Dickinson this year, we may have a true number 1 LHD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy316</b></div><div>O thank god someone to make people realize MTL and OTT arent trade partners on something like this
We picked over Chychrun in the draft after BUF chose Alex Nylander outta no where over Sergachev , he fell into MTL's laps but he wasnt our guy
Chychrun speaks some French , had 3 interviews and both sides were acting like this was basically a done deal.
After MTL skipped him triggering a free fall outside the top 10 for him he came up in tears acting like a jaded ex
TBH i get he wanted to play for MTL but crying because MTL picked Sergachev over you is a bit telling of his Character and just look at the difference in their careers despite being marketed as equals

MTL trade for a DMAN is like OTT trading for a top line Center, it undermines your entire systems set up</div></div>

I completely disagree with that last part. We have depth and a few redundant pieces, but the Canadiens don’t have a top pairing prospect outside of Reinbacher. And if the Senators are spoiled with top line centres than how are they not in the playoffs?!?!?

Thread: February Ranking of Top 32
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsCanucks</b></div><div>Thanks!

Yeah, Connelly would be on my Do Not Draft list if I were a team, but the ranking here is just based on the hockey side of things. What would your comp for him be?

Yakemchuk and Iginla could definitely end up going higher than I have them now, though top 5 would be quite the reach considering the other prospects available.</div></div>

I don’t know where the comp is for Connelly. But i saw plenty of Jack Hughes in his U18 year and he was on his own planet. Completely controlled the pace of the game. I haven’t see enough of Connelly, he seems to play very fast and would need to see him play at the U18s in April to what he looks like when the tempo gets controlled by better opposition/linemates and when he runs into real traffic.

The one thing that strikes me about him that would be a concern, he interacts a lot with the opposing bench. So he might be easily be affected and drawn into stupid plays or situations. But maturity could solve that with time.

This is an exciting time for prospect watching, a couple of guys will shoot up in the next couple of months. Looking forward to seeing that happen.

Great ranking! Thanks for sharing.

Thread: HABS TDL and Draft Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>The PHI and ANA deals are laughably light. Frost is worth more than that, let alone PHI adds to that, and most ANA fans will say you're short a 2nd or more</div></div>

Is Frost a Tortarella player now? He’s averaging 15min per game on the season, he’s marginally better than Evans but only because he can play the PP. Harris is an NHL D-man providing depth to a team going into the playoffs and still talking about trading out a defenceman.

Zegras’s value is about right. This trade would happen closer to the draft. His value is as a winger, he’s not an NHL center at this point (could improve his 3-zone value, but we’ll see). It’s a top 10 pick with a future top 9 center included who plays a defensively sound game. Buckle up because Zegras isn’t going to bring the haul that some people expect.
