Brandon Smillie: The Canadiens Will Draft Brady Tkachuk… And That's Fantastic!

Brady or Zadina will be fantastic players for whoever drafts them.

Where is all this speculation that the Habs are prioritizing Tkachuck coming from though? I've heard this from a few places, and it Seems like Zadina's goal scoring ability could be more sought after.

Also, sin't Tchachuk expected to head back to College league this next season?

I was somewhat cool towards him as a potential Sens pick, but hearing so many people continue to praise him has me thinking again.

Christian, you will have to explain this one to me, makes no sense

Future bust. I like it.

Not claiming to be knowledgeable about this draft, but if they 're using a (frank)ing combine as the basis to evaluate their picks versus a consensus between many scouts, they should be fired on the spot. Zadina and don't think about it.

How do I become a ref?

I still think they are gonna draft Kotkaniemi.

But Zadina is apparently performing poorly at the combine! He's a future Kessel, not athletic enough to be an elite player.

Hello!

Fine.

Good bye.

Considering you don't even know how to spell his name twice(!), Calgary would be happy to trade Brodie and Bennett for your pick..

I wouldn't mind them picking Tkachuk. There sure are lots of wussies on that team and the kid got grit and skills. He also looks like a big game performer which the Habs have lacked for a long time.

This year yeah. But they still managed to make the playoffs more often than not in the past 10 years.

(frank) off with your facts Adam French.

I don't think the combine is why his stock has been rising. I think the combine showed how strong of a human this kid is and can become. His play has been incredible this season everywhere he played. Could develop into a impact player who's strong, mean, and puts up big points.

Zadina>>>>>>Tkachuk.

I get the joke, but I sure as (frank) wouldn't mind drafting a Kessel.

I wouldn't mind them picking McCaron. There sure are lots of wussies on that team and the kid got grit and skills. He also looks like a big game performer which the Habs have lacked for a long time.

The quote button on this site is (frank)ed. Not saying that he will, but he does seem to have similar goal totals at a quick glance. The above was the same logic used when drafting Mcbust.

He may very well, but I as I mentioned above Zadina's numbers are more impressive, so I argue he has much less bust potential.
