Talk about the guys you'd like to see the Habs draft. The ones you don't want.

If you want the habs to move up for certain players, or drop down if they aren't there.

There is plenty to talk about the draft other than mock drafts.

Write a blog for EE, send to _nay_ for translation, send the translation bill to Howard, EE will review the blog and maybe post while taking credit for it.

I would take Vinny in a heartbeat IF they could trade DD. I would also trade Gionta and sign Briere for a year or 2. Then, I would trade Pleks+Diaz for a #1 Shutdown D to play with Subban.

Pacioretty - Vinny - Briere
Bourque - Eller - Dumont?
Gallagher - Galchenyuk - Prust
Moen - White - Blunden

Subban - Shutdown D
Emelin - Markov
Tinordi - Gorges
- Puckers

Sorry, Gabriel Dumont? Was it the no scoring he did that sold you on his top 6 potential?

It's the beauty of this draft to be honest, after 15, you just don't know what's going to happen.

You posted "beauty", yet I read "boredom".

Yikes.

no?
how about, any day!

I know he's an effective player, but the Habs are pretty tight with the cap, even before signing a guy like Bolland.

His cap hit is what? near 4M? to play on the third line?

I'm not sure he's the guy we want.

I'll say strong chance Jagr ends up back in Philly.
Iginla...who knows?

nope.

So it's like any other amateur draft that has ever happened in any sport ever

Hey buddy.

hey, nice to see you here.

You know, I'm not advocating the habs sign these three players, or any one of them in particular. but as short-term options there's a lot of benefit to signing any one of them.

It's not the same as the Leafs signing Lindros to put his name on their roster.

I'm not suggesting any one of these players would put the habs over the top either. On short-term deals none of them hurt the long-term plan, really, and any one of them can help the development of the young players as well as net an asset at the deadline if the Habs aren't firm in a playoff position. I also think there's going to be a veteran or two moved out of here by Bergevin in the coming days.

No. The MLS and CFL drafts suck from pick one.

I'd rather give Kristo a shot on that line.

Trade Desharnais, sign Vinny, trade Gionta, sign Horton. Sign a D with size/grit. Done for the summer.

I prefer not to discuss hockey in these threads.

Thats why the question mark, not sure who would slot in there.

Horton?
