they surely won't draft all of them, some will be traded, but there's lots of homework to do if they want to know as much as possible about the players available, so that they can maximize their chances of making good picks and distance themselves from that poopty draft record the team has had now for years.

It would be interesting to know how many times Timmens picks were over ruled by the current GM, and who was picked instead.

and vice-versa, I think Timmins had bigger biceps, so if they did an arm wrestling contest to determine the pick it was probably often his...

I can't see them making all those picks again, I fully expect a few move at the draft. Should be an interesting day.

Thursday July 7th

2022
1st round pick, 1st overall - Montréal
1st round pick - Montréal (from Calgary - Toffoli trade)
2nd round pick, 33rd overall - Montréal
2nd round pick - Montréal (from Edmonton - Kulak trade)

- Symba007[if Oilers reach Stanley Cup Final, pick will become a 2023 2nd round pick]
3rd round pick, 65th overall - Montréal
3rd round pick, 74th overall - Montréal (from Anaheim - traded for 2021 3rd round pick #76)
3rd round pick - Montréal (from Carolina - compensation for signing RFA Jesperi Kotkaniemi)
4th round pick, 97th overall - Montréal
4th round pick - Montréal (from Tampa Bay - traded for 2021 4th round pick #126)
4th round pick - Montréal (from Florida via NYRangers - Chiarot trade)
5th round pick, 129th overall - Montréal
6th round pick, 161st overall - Montréal
7th round pick, 193rd overall - Montréal
7th round pick - Montréal (from Arizona via Philly via Montréal via St. Louis - Allen trade, Gustafsson trade, Gostisbehere trade, traded for 2021 7th round pick #223)

Seeing it in writing, what a haul.

When you start to analyze that situation, it gets very interesting…

Do Habs think they have their first C with Suzuki?

Do they think either Kidney or Roy can be #2?

If answer of both question is yes, maybe Wright is not as attractive as it would have been some years ago when they selected KK…

So picking Slafkovsky is not that bad…. but you have to be sure you have strong Yes on those first questions…

Can they pull a deal and pick both kids? That would be amazing but if it is at the cost of trading Khule for example, I am really not sure about that…

If they can trade for Fiala using their 2nd first round pick, maybe it can change the situation…

What I think is that Slafkovsky is NHL ready and can play next year on top 6. Wright, I don’t think he has that maturity…

Very interesting draft indeed!

I agree with your review and questions but I always fall back to this one notion.... draft the best player available no matter the current team needs. Easier to have to many good centers and have to trade one for an established winger down the road.

He plays both… but when you look at the stats, there are games he takes some face offs…

Maybe someone can confirm that…
