Thread: Move back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I will be shocked, outraged and disappointed if Anaheim picks second or third and doesn't select Levshunov.

Demidov is at least a putative RW (although he's left-handed) but Lindstrom is duplicative of Zegras, Carlsson, Gauthier and McTavish. If we get screwed a third time by the lottery process, I'd rather we choose Helenius, Parekh, Yakemchuk or even Buium (who I understand plays well on his off side) than Lindstrom.</div></div>

I am not that high on Lindstrom either, but historically when a prospect have is size and talent they usually get pick early. San jose, Chicago, Anaheim, Columbus and Mtl could all use size up front. I would be shocked at all if he was selected early in this draft. Now the question is, would i selected him top 5? No i wouldn’t. I think that Parehk, Bium, Levshunov and Dickinson would all be better pick. I would also pick Greentree and Iginla before Lindstrom. But that just me i know that Lindstrom is a sexy pick so i’ll go early

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Zegras underperformed due to injury, he had osteitis pubis since the pre season, the same injury that kept Logan Voulture out basically all year. It got to heal fully while his ankle recovered, and lol and behold, when he came back from all injuries, he scored at his usual rate, looked like his usual self, except for notable improvements off the puck.

So no, MTLs not taking any risk other than Anaheim would draft well and in hindsight have won the trade. And Mallioux is bone headed off the puck, we've got enough scoring from the blue line, that's why we're frankly more interested in Reinbacher, and would take him and MTLs 25 2nd.</div></div>

The fact that you talk about Mailloux like you know anything about him is pretty remarkable. Mailloux play without the puck have exponentially grown this season. He was one of the more consistent defender when the season ended with a very young squad in Laval. Is overall play have improved now in a way that he will become a viable and trustable top 4 defender in this league in a near future. As for Reinbacher i doubt that Hugues will entertain any trade talk for him. They pass on many great forward in last year draft to pick him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Taylor Hall was traded for an established top 4 RHD that was taken at 4OA. Mallioux was taken 31st, and has established nothing.

It's a weak draft, the absolute best case scenario for the player taken at 5OA is that he manages to achieve a similar career to Zegras, assuming absolutely everything goes right, then you add the fact that there's the risk of busting with that pick. Furthermore, Mallioux is not a blue chip piece.

If you had a similarly aged top 4 RHD that had shown they're not a bust at the NHL level, you could argue that 1 for 1 trade is appropriate, but you don't, you have prospects and picks that carry risks.</div></div>

Mailloux was selected 31st so what? What this have to do with anything. Mailloux is a top prospect who improved each season since he was draft. So yes Mailloux is a blue chip prospect. Finish 3rd in overall scoring for defenseman in Ahl. 6’3’’ skating like the wind, physical, with literally a bomb as a shot and he shot right. Zegras have only 2 season under is belt when Taylor Hall had 5 of them, Zegras could have reach is ceiling already, Mtl is taking a risk either since he was underperforming is previous standard. So you can play the victim card all you want, you ain’t getting two bluechip assets for him. If you does at the end i’ll be the first to present you my excuse. But as for now you can keep asking for ridiculous return, everyone know that it won’t be happening and each year Zegras get closer to is last contract year is value will drop continuously.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>No, you're at least in the ballpark of what it would take for Zegras.</div></div>

You arr not getting 2 bluechip assets in a deal for Zegras. Historically even the best of the best that have been traded haven’t gotten those kind of return. Taylor Hall was traded at 24 for Adam Larsson. Taylor Hall and Zegras early career are very much the same. Both where on super bad team, both high draft pick, both producing at a similar pace.
The 2024 Mtl draft pick would be more then enough in term of value, depending on is Anaheim have a player the value at the position Mtl will speak. Mailloux have been a riser from the day he got drafted. He is consider a one of the top NHL prospect. Anaheim ain’t getting those kind of assets combine. Historically it haven’t happened. Zegras isn’t the second coming of the great one. Lower your expectation or it will be brutal if he get traded.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>It's simply intellectually dishonest to say anything other than a top4 D making 4.8M for 2 years at ages 30-31 and on a Jeff Petry like upwards trajectory is anything but a steal. Just ignore these people, Matheson, he could win the Norris and the haters will still say he sucks in a vacuum.</div></div>

I totally agree, you cannot like the players that fine. But saying such stupid thing as Matheson is not a bargain is just to much to me. I had to make him at least think about is foolishness. People will always hate and talk about is non advantageous stats but forget all about the category he is rank top 10 among nhl Defenseman. Also he was pn the ice for 12 empty net goal that have put is differencial in a bad spot. All of that neglecting the fact he was playing over 25 min playing all the thoughest machtup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MONSTER1974</b></div><div>Depends if Fowler has any intention of turning pro or not. (For the record, I don’t think he will.)


But, on the off chance he would, they would need to make room for him to play 50 games, and that would make Dobeš expendable.</div></div>

I what world that makes Dobes expendable. Goalie are the most difficult position to project. I like Fowler a lot but he hasn’t shown anything yet. Hab are better to stick with both of them. Dobes being 3 years older is perfect. He will likely replace Primeau or Montembeault when Fowler turn pro. There no need to rush Fowler to turn pro. He will be competing again for the national title again next year. Another year of scouting both a these goalie will benefit the organization a lot more then making a move they don’t need to. Not sure what is all the hype about Necas but he have similar number than Drouin. Necas is a better goal scorer for sure but that about it. Necas have had a career year last season. He is more a 50-60 point winger with terrible 200 foot game.
