Thread: Guessing Montreal's List Based on the TSN Article
The three people that Montreal is currently high on are:

Demidov
Lindstrom
Iginla

Normally Montreal values hockey sense, compete, and character in their prospects. The three that make the most sense are Iginla, Sennecke, and Stiga. Yes Montreal has been drafting bigger prospects, but those 3 things are what Hughes and company value the most.

Lindstrom doesn't make a lot of sense for the Canadiens given his compete level in the playoffs, I didn't like the way he played. Demidov is from Russia and he would 100% be the pick if he's available. Montreal would have to win the lottery in order to get him. Iginla checks all the boxes: goal-scorer, physical player, but also has the hockey sense, character (Jarome's son), and compete (had a solid U18 and was the driving force for Kelowna).

But the question is, how do you know that certain players have met with Montreal?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DH28Hockey</b></div><div>I don't really agree with that, Demidov is better but with fairly limited experience and multiple DY injuries, and you could make a pretty fair case that Dickinson &gt; Levshunov (I don't necessarily agree, but I wouldn't call that take outrageous). Given next years draft is forward heavy, if CHI likes a defenseman with that top pick I don't think that's a bad selection at all</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>You do realize Vlasic just completed his rookie season and ranks top 3 in the entire NHL in the defensive zone while playing top line minutes against the competitions most difficult assignments. Dickinson is not displacing Vlasic in other words. Then behind Vlasic is Korchinski, who was the youngest defenseman in the entire league this year and 2022 #7 pick overall. Behind that, Hawks have 4 prospects/young players who are fighting it out for the 3rd line.

So in other words, no way will the hawks draft another LHD guy.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jeep71589</b></div><div>Kyle Davidson's philosophy is to pick the best player available no matter the position on the "blackhawks" draft broad. How many times has KD showed his cards. This rumor out there that the hawks are very interested is Dickinson doesnt mean a thing. Scouting reports coming in as of late have some forwards (Sennecke, Parascak, Iginla) really moving up into the top 10 pushing some dmen back. We are very heavy in solid LHD prospects, we are light on highend forward prospects (especially RW). In my opinion the blackhawks would be looking at Demidov and Lindstrom as of right now. Demidov's creativity and hands are all world, yes he is a hair under 6' but he plays tough and doesnt shy away from physicality. It'll be interesting with CHL playoffs and U18 right now going on.</div></div>

Add to all of this is that Davidson is really high on Dickinson. I don't agree with it, I think Levshunov or Lindstrom is a far better option.
