if we're talking about the 1st round though I doubt they pick a goalie, even if they keep that late pick...

I agree, they will use the 37th overall to pick a goalie IMO

Il a l'air pas trop petit, droitier et offensif, on a besoin d'un gars de même. Mais c'est un pick selon le talent ou les besoins? Pas un autre KK svp

faut que ce soit le meilleur joueur disponible, c'est clair.

Si le CH pense qu'il deviendra un défenseur numéro 1 de premier plan, ça pourrait faire du sens, non?

Bcp de bons défenseurs chez le CH, dont Guhle qui est en ce moment le meilleur chez les jeunes Mais est-ce qu'il va devenir aussi bon eventuellement qu'un pietrangelo ou Ekblad? Je sais pas.

Tu as tout a fait raison. Je n'ai que lu que quelques scuoting sur lui... difficile a dire.

I don't necessarily disagree, but it must be hard to evaluate who the best player available is while comparing dmen vs forwards... also the habs do need to add some goal-scoring on their roster as well.

I think you always go BPA

but I was just saying that it could make sense to get a guy who they think might reach that level. they will need that sooner than later. Could be harder to find than a top 6 winger.

But the LHD late in the first round...I don't know. If the guy is that much better than all the other prospects, sure. But if you gonna go with a D, could they at least pick a RHD there? that late is a bit of a crapshoot anyway.

I guess you can always trade a prospect for what you want after or need. So just go BPA or what you think is BPA.

yup, habs management team have a lot of homework to do, and they probably already have a very good idea who they're going for, the draft being in less than a month from now...

probably one of the most interesting drafts in recent years, can't (frank)ing wait to see what happens.

not only the draft but also the potential trade(s) that could involve draft picks.
