Actually wouldn't surprise me. Can't see Bergevin keeping his job if Habs don't make the playoffs next season. There will be plenty of moves at the draft.

Exactly who are they going to overtake?

I'd wait until we see their line up before making predictions, we all expect major changes

Well, the Senators cause they still suck.. Buffalo, because, come on.. It's Buffalo and apparently, the Maple Leafs because success is not linear.. Need to take 2 steps back to take one step forward type stuff..

Habs have plenty of AHL 4th line centers, no thanks

Never stopped Bergevin beofre

Jesperi Kotkaniemi or Barrett Hayton

Ridiculous.

If the plan is a centre, and those guys are the target, then Montreal would obviously trade down.

According to this site, you're taking Tkachuk though haha-

It is but I like it, though. Even if I don't agree with the order, it has all the names. And you can make your own and put them in any order you like.

Are they all French?

I wish there was a party that wouldn't settle for mediocrity in governance.

I wish there was a party that would govern with honesty, integrity and financial responsibility that genuinely worked towards the best interests of the citizens of our country.

no but they all are 4th line centers (drafted as wingers or D's)

poop. Apparently Yahoo agrees that you're taking Tkachuk. This time, over Svechnikov.

I sincerely hope not, can't stand Gallant, no other reason.

That's not true. Almost everyone wants security, prosperity, and independence. People with different political leanings disagree on how to achieve them.

Clearly the only way you're not getting Tkachuk is if Buttalo or Carolina save you from yourselves.

I have no idea what will happen. if I had to bet 10 cents (I'm cheap), I'd would say MTL will trade down a few spots

Seems like a bit of a stretch at #25....

25. Toronto Maple Leafs – Mattias Samuelsson, defenseman (US National Development Team): The 6-foot-4, 216-pound Samuelsson is the kind of big, two-way defenseman that the Leafs don't have enough of on their NHL roster right now. Samuelsson isn't a greyhound D-man, obviously, but still posted 10 goals and 31 points in 58 games played for the US Development team last season. Samuelsson is the son of Kjell Samuelsson, who was an outstanding defender in his NHL day, and is much more mobile, creative and geared toward a possible top-pairing role than his old man was back in the day. While it's possible the Leafs could be shopping for an eventual power forward replacement for James van Riemsdyk as well, a pick like Samuelsson seems like much more of a sure bet in Toronto.

I can see that. Unless Carolina takes Zadina 2nd.

Bouchard will probably still be there if they trade back 2-3 spots. I think he's gonna be stupidly good.

So I hope the Habs don't draft him.

Yeah, no thanks.

At 25 I would prefer any of these three- Merkely, Kravtsov, or Lundkvist.
