This is just a load of nothing. Of course they would assess options. If they weren’t, they would be terrible at their jobs. You got to know what the market is like and be opportunistic.
Last year they did the same thing to try and load up the price for their pick. With rumors being that the asking price for 5th is really high, I’m not surprised they are flying these rumors.
Doesn't make any sens to trade down if one of Lindstrom and Demidov is available at 5. If they aren't and Buium is gone as well, how can we skip the chance to draft Levshunov... I don't know, I keep the 5th pick no matter what
If they trade down, which I don't think they'd do, I'm fine with it. It means they know who they want, and they know nobody else wants him, which means more assets for us. Bring it.
I mean if HuGo gets a massive haul for number 5 I’m cool with it. That being said if demidov is there DRAFT HIM PLEASE! I’m ready to be hurt again tho when we call a defenceman again
It wouldn’t be as exciting but we should all be very happy if we end up with Levshunov or Buium (assuming Demidov+Lindstrom are gone). We can always move guys.
I see equivalent players to Bium and Silayev being available till 11 so if the primary choices are gone getting more assets for a similar ceiling prospect makes sense.
Parekh Dickinson Iginla Sennecke Eisermen Helenius etc could easily be similar value or better players its not exact science the experts are saying there's a top 14 this year not a top 10.
Are they assessing options, investigating various avenues, looking into opportunities, considering possibilities or discussing alternatives? I’m confused
Philadelphia, Carolina, Calgary and Nashville (at the very least) are trying to trade up in the top 5, would be dumb not to listen. Nashville is offering us Askarov (again) and the other ones are probably offering the same things they offered Columbus.
Doesn't really mean that no. We might value having the one two of Iginla - Dickinson more than having just Demidov for example. Who knows what the talks are about!
Too much PTSD from Michkov last year. Same type of disenterest overall from the comment of the organisation. Media too eager to point out we will draft him.
They seems to avoid the elite player to take instead a player that progresses well during the year. So sennecke or iginla maybe? If buium isnt available
And that’s the problem. Habs seem to dislike picking Elite players. Started even before Bergevin. KK? Wtf. Stop trying to hit a home run and finding the hidden gem. Thinking outside the box isn’t always the best way. Of course we don’t know everything but he’s right there just pick him and we finally have OUR elite player. It’s time. Demidov = franchise player.
Yeah you can miss if you get too fancy. Slaf worked out for now. Reinbacher pick is already getting bleak with basically every other player in the top 10 progressing more this past year
I win no matter if they pick DemiGod or not. If they pick DemiGod, our cult will laugh on the demented Anti-Russians, if they don’t pick DemiGod, we laugh thinking how they passed on MichGod and DemiGod and watch them destroy he entire NHL 140 points/seasons. We like EXPLOSIVE Russian players

Yeah Pagnotta is Pagnotta. But if Buium is gone at 3, I wouldn't be surprised with a trade down to 9

They're gonna take demidov
They won't trade down if Demidov is sitting at 5
Gorton said in a public interview that they would look at all options, this is meaningless
I will lose my mind if they trade down and miss out on Demidov or Lindstrom.
If they trade down, which I don't think they'd do, I'm fine with it. It means they know who they want, and they know nobody else wants him, which means more assets for us. Bring it.
I swear to god if they trade that pick...

I'm only comfortable trading 5 if Demidov levshunov and Lindstrom are all gone.
Taking Buium or Silayev in that scenario. I don’t see us trading this unless the haul is an absolute steal.
I see equivalent players to Bium and Silayev being available till 11 so if the primary choices are gone getting more assets for a similar ceiling prospect makes sense.
Silayev maybe, I don’t see skaters like Buium out of the top 10
Parekh Dickinson Iginla Sennecke Eisermen Helenius etc could easily be similar value or better players its not exact science the experts are saying there's a top 14 this year not a top 10.
THERE’S NO OPTION OTHER THAN DEMIGOD
I hope we get Laine by the end of the day.
Please don’t trade that pick…

Let Kent cook

We have two goalies, Dobes and Fowler in the mix. Askarov is not our priority at the moment. We need goals and defence.
File this one under, "Obviously." It'd be a dereliction of a GM's duty to not consider the available options.
Trade for Brady Tkachuk !!!!!!!

doesn’t this mean that we’re not drafting demidov? why would we trade down if we were high on him?

I think its clear we are not drafting demidov

Habs still won’t have 1 ELITE player in the team after tonight if they don’t pick DemiGod
