I bet $10 on each of the 1st round series ... I won 7 out 8 (made $26).

Did the same for round 2 ... doesn't look good so far.

well, it's pretty early in the second round. you'll be good!

i also picked 7 of the 8 series right! i'm the best at everything!

Best wishes Karine for improved health!

Take care Mrs K, health should be your #1 priority and glad you let us know instead of going all deadpoulet on us.

#5 is actually pretty good based on the odds (as Mrs K mentioned).

Symba's list at #5 (assuming Celebrini is gone).

Demidov (unlikely he slips down to #5 but you never know)
Lindstrom
Iggy

It will be one of those 3 IMO.

so the whole draft lottery show was just a waste of time....no team changed position.

would you try to trade up for Demidov? is he that muh better?

Depends on the cost but I doubt the cost to move up will be worth the difference.

Looking at the playoffs, Habs need to get bigger/more physical up front and Lindstrom fits the need.

The plan B is actually not bad with Iggy (if both Demidov and Lindstrom are gone).

Let's say the draft goes this way

Celebrini
Demidov
Levshunov (RHD)
Lindstrom

What's left for MTL to look at:

Catton
Iginla
Eiserman
Parekh (RHD, very offensive)
Yakemchuk (RHD)

yeah, looks like one of Lidstrom or Ignila will be available. all good.
the only way I see them taking a dman is if Levshunov slips down.

The guy that could really help MTL get their player is Silayev. If he goes top 5 in addition to Levshunov...Habs will get their guy for sure (Demidov or Lindstrom).

Colombus has been scouting Silayev none stop is the roomer....

Or you trade down with a team that really wants Silayev.

5th pick vs the 8th pick + asset.

Draft Iginla with the 8th pick.

Rejoice.

Most teams would rejoice in getting a great defenseman like Richardinson.

exactly. we very rarely see that scenario because you have to be absolutely 100% sure your guy will be there at 8. that means he is not listed to go top10. won't happen.
if the guy you want is there at 5, you pick him and go home.

They are picking their guy at #5, I have no doubt.

One of Demidov, Lindstrom or Iginla will be a Habs

I think so too.

Pronman on The Athletic just made a mock draft.

He trades down with Calgary and the Habs pick Iginla.

and CGY? who do they pick at 5?

Zeev Buium, LHD, Denver

His trade is the Habs 5th OA for CGY 9th OA and Van 1st (2024) who should be between 29th and 32nd.

and it's Arpon Basu who made the dumb trade
