Odds that he is not making the team are probably very low

As a 4th line center getting 4th line minutes, he'd better continue to put up 3 goals a game or he is a bust.

He'll do great on a line with Thompson and Weal.

I think he'll have a much bigger role than that very soon into the season.

15. Nick Suzuki, C/RW, 19 (Montreal Canadiens — 13th overall, 2017)

Nick Suzuki is really good at hockey. Nick Suzuki had a really good year. Nick Suzuki is really fun to watch. You get the point. The only question about Suzuki remains one of position. Is he going to be a second-line center or is he going to be a first-line winger? And which has more value? I suspect the answer is winger to both of those questions, though I do believe he has the talent the skillset needed to stick at center under different circumstances. Either way, he’s going to be really fun to watch. Really.


25. Cole Caufield, RW, 18 (Montreal Canadiens — 15th overall, 2019)

Goal Goalfield is more like it.

(I understand if you stopped reading just now. If you didn’t, just know that I had Caufield at No. 10 on my board, the Canadiens stole him at No. 15, and I’m not concerned about his size holding him back because he’s too darn good at getting open.)


50. Ryan Poehling, C, 20 (Montreal Canadiens — 25th overall, 2017)

I was at the Bell Centre for Poehling’s end-of-season hat trick against the Leafs and it was one of the better hockey games I’ve covered live despite the fact that it was utterly meaningless. And Poehling was magic. It’s a night he’ll never forget. I do, however, think it convinced some that he’s going to step right into the Canadiens roster next year and be an impact guy. I’m not as convinced. His offensive game isn’t actually the strength of his skillset. In fact, it probably prevents him from being more than a strong middle-six guy. It’s the other stuff that I love about what Poehling offers — and that ultimately pushed him into this ranking. It’s the defensive-zone play, his willingness to apply back pressure, his knack for lifting pucks, and his likely ability to be a very good checking center at the NHL level. Poehling is probably the only player on this list who I think projects more as a third-line forward than a top-six guy. But some third-line players have more of an impact on a game than a lot of decent second-line guys by virtue of their ability to take on tougher matchups. Poehling has a chance to be that guy.

I think he has a better shot than Suzuki

...still, I think both of them would benefit from playing in Laval for Bouchard.

Can't believe the Habs lost out on the Clarkson sweeps.

Surely, there's something about the salary cap technicalities that flew over my head, I really don't understand why the Leafs would take back Wendel Clarkson's contract.
