I should clarify...unless it's a top-4 of Drury, Gomez, Naslund and Zherdev
- AdamFrench

Oh that worked out great.

In his proposal they also get a 33rd pic for their first.

So 1st overall for 3rd and 33rd overall
- Fredobbface

No thanks.

Their ceiling is higher, and they both can play Defensively already. While Yakupov is a scoring machine and is ready physically, he's not responsible defensively. And the other two are centers. So that's added value.

You know what I mean by ceiling right?

Means they have a bigger potential, it doesn't necessarily means they will reach it though. You have to take into account the Grigo is 6'3 and Galchenyuk is 6'1, while Yakupov is 5'10, once they are both matured out, it will be a huge difference.

A pear and some appricots will never taste as sweet as a nice ripe peach.

You can't play your first and second lines 60 minutes a game.

You need money for other players.

Yes I understand man.

GM "Hi I have a 75 point winger I'd like to trade, he's 21 and was drafted 1st overall, I want x player and such and such"

Other GM "OMB YES"

No thanks.

Hey, I'd rather trade a 2nd rounder for a better pick than for an old fart who will play 20 games in Montreal.

Is this a sexual allusion?

CLIT blows
- QuebecPride

yes they likes when I do that.

Speculation.
- mr.peanut

No, really. They're both taller than Yakupov. A higher ceiling is required.

Hall might end up being the odd man out.

or

Other GM " you can have Gomez"

GM "(frank)"

Eberle for Subban
- _nay_

I'd probably do that.

MPS will be gone I think, one of those Turris for top-prospect kind of thing hopes for both teams.

Is this a sexual allusion?
- _nay_

I guess it could be, but it wasn't meant to be, More that a Peach his higher then a Pear ever will be no matter if it comes in a basket with apricots or not.

No way, it's crap...just like every lime beer out there.

Beer doesn't need to be changed, stop adding stuff to beer. Anything in a bottle or can other then regular beer, stout, lager, pilsner is plain and simple a woman's drink or the drink of fist pumpers.

Gorgot about him actually. Ya I could see him being dealt.

I'd like to just use the draft pick and select some players who might pan out.

Unthinkable.

True, but it doesn't mean a womens drink can't taste adequate
- Oilhab

Meh...for maybe 1 drink while you're waiting for your beer to arrive.

But it's just bad, it tastes fake and awkward.

I agree with you, but they have 2 2nd rounders this year and 3 next year. I don't think that trading one of those 2nds for the chance to acquire a potential franchise player isn't really like trading for Dominic Moore.

The Habs should trade the #3 pick, + for P. Kane.

It's harder to tell how players from the QMJHL will translate, because it's generally a more wide open league, and lacks the edge the the Dub and O have. In general. Not always.

You have to be really smart to scout that league.

- _nay_

I see your point. I think Montreal gets their Franchise player at #3 anyway, so they should keep their 2 2nd rounders and probably do the same next year, and stockpile some high-end assets. Eventually, the dead weight on the team will be gone, and it will be nice to have players to replace them with, instead of signing more dead weight.
