TB has our pick now

Well, if we go for Michkov, then with Suzuki, Caufield, Newhook... That's lots of talent, not a lot of grit.

Let's get the team loaded with talent first, then they can get a couple of complimentary pieces after, it's easier to find and a Nick Paul and a Pat Maroon then a Kucherov and a Brayden Point

WiFi? Guhle? Anderson? Even Dach was starting to throw people around near the end of last year. The Habs are not all small and will fill in the gaps as they decide what prospects they want to keep.

Not very worried right now.

I expect the unexpected

This is the only true thing we know about the new management

Big day. Lots percolating. Here's the latest: #GoHabsGo weighing as many as five offers for No. 5 overall pick.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Giddy Up. The intrigue surrounding the top five selections in Round 1 of the 2023 NHL Draft here on Wednesday night has been nothing short of fascinating. Where will Matvei Michkov land? Are the Anaheim Ducks really considering bypassing Adam Fantilli at No. 2?

Questions abound, including: Will the Montreal Canadiens move the No. 5 overall pick?

Sources tell Daily Faceoff that the Canadiens are spending Wednesday’s lead-up to the Draft deliberating as many as five separate offers for the pick from teams looking to make a significant move up the board.

It’s a potential move that may be board-dependent and wait until the San Jose Sharks select at No. 4.

Sources say the Canadiens have placed at least one call to the Sharks to inquire about swapping slots, but the belief is Sharks GM Mike Grier was unwavering in his desire to keep the pick. If the Habs have their sights set on one player in particular and he is taken, it’s possible to see the Canadiens pivot and slide a little further down to get their hands on another player while collecting some additional value in the meantime.


The Philadelphia Flyers are another team to watch. Aside from their crop of players still hovering on the Trade Targets board, including Travis Konecny, Scott Laughton and Travis Sanheim, the Flyers may also push to move up into the Top 5 from No. 7 overall so they can get their guy. As one of the teams to meet with Michkov in Nashville, they are definitely open and intrigued about the possibility of getting their hands on the best Russian-born prospect in years.

challenge with Philty is they don't have a 2nd, they only have another 1st, the 22nd.

For a team rebuilding...might not work

Agreed.

I have no clue what they have in the prospect pool. A decent prospect +7th for the 5th could be enough no?

Gauthier is the guy I would want but no way they move him, they drafted him 5th overall last year and he had a great D+1 season in the NCAA

Washington is more likely.

their prospect pool is meh...I am not a fan of Lapierre, concussion history, often injured.

They have their 2nd (40th)....pretty sure the Habs will get better offers
