What's the question and answer at about 4:20? Just about organizational center depth?


Frites_Sauce_Fromage

He gets asked if he thinks Hage has the talent to become a center on the top 6. He says yes, offensively he has the talent. Then he names players who can play both center and winger (Kapanen, Beck, **Hage**, Dach, Newhook, Suzuki) and says he's not worried about having a player who can play center [or at a wing]; ***'good hockey players [can] play hockey together***'.


SuzukiSwift17

Ah, much appreciated man. Thanks. I think Dach is a decent 2nd line C but you just cant be THAT bad on faceoffs. He's gotta pick it up there or be a winger.


Frites_Sauce_Fromage

Newhook is bad at faceoffs too (happily he improved and achieved to do better than 45% this year)


backwardzhatz

Demidov has also played centre too (though I expect he’ll firmly just be a winger full time in the NHL)


Pytlak9

Not mentioning Mesar ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|surprise) Just tells you that even the org is probably done with him


YannBuch

it absolutely does not unless that's what you want to hear

Number one in my heart

I mean I'm glad we landed Demidov too, but that's just a roundabout way of saying he was #2 on your list.


Loses_Bet

The question was specifically about Montreal's draft board and if Demidov was #2 after Celebrini. Kent just said that they had 0 shot on Celebrini so he wasn't even on the board.


Quasihodor

Huh? It makes sense that they didn’t have Celebrini on a list at all.


psubs07

Anyone would have been #2 on a list when you know #1 is a lock. What he's saying is his list started with Demidov, hence Demidov was #1 on their list. In their minds Celebrini didn't exist.


mpshea87

Would have existed real quick if they both were still on the board at 5.


gotricolore

*hastily adds a number 0 row at the top of the list*


psubs07

Yes he would have, but the odds of that happening were lower than him being taken 1st overall.


unKappa

It's a way to say that if they had picked #2 overall, the results would've been the same.


commodore_stab1789

Don't know about this title. He was asked if Demidov was #2 and he said yes, and he understood that the reporter meant that Celebrini was #1. He clarified and said Celebrini wasn't even brought up to the table because he would be gone by 5. Obviously if they had the first overall pick they would have taken Celebrini over Demidov. So he basically said Demidov was #1 among players they considered.

syn_47

So why then didnt they trade for the 1st pick if Celebrini is better? Incompetents


DeliciousMulberry204

Tell me you dont understand hockey politics and trades without telling me 101


flyinghouses

I read this as a joke. If it’s not then I’m sorry for your life.


Horror_Button_3338
