wrong, lindstrom>

if we use our 5th overall pick for this guy im cheering for the leafs

@@J87169 Did you watch the video? If you cheer for the Leafs because they pick this kid then honestly good riddance. I mean you already sound like a Leaf fan to me.

@@tylergervais3207 i just want some french talent fuck the nepo babies

Tij also played for the Boston Jr. Eagles, the same program that Kent was coaching for. Although Kent never coached Tij, I'm sure he knows him quite well.

Top 9 i hope

Thank you!

Merci!

Exactly why I'm watching it too. I had no idea he has such a wicked shot.

@@DKHD176He’s going to be a 30 goal scorer minimum. Scores in every way possible. That’s the true mark of a great scorer.

Merci 😊

Completely agreed. He looks like a top 5 lock for me

Merci!

Very few of us felt that way. We're all pretty stoked for him. Not sure he's the best player at 5 but I don't think he'll be drafted by us at 9. Never know though. Always surprises in the draft. Montreal especially seems to go off the board sometimes.

@@Robbhope99 for what it’s worth, I never had any strong opinions for or against Tij. Even now, it’s very much hard to predict how a prospect would turn out so I just find it funny how all these armchair GMs who probably never even saw him play live talk with absolute certainty about how he doesn’t deserve to go in the top 10. With all that said, I’m also stoked that another Iginla will soon be playing in the NHL.

No, he's more or less followed Calgary's draft position all year long. It was only early on in the season when Calgary was like bottom 5 and Iginla was ranked around 20th that it seemed abaurd

He doesn’t seem overly high on Dickinson

We might do it later on, but he's not in the immediate plan.

Tij is the Brady Tkachuk of this draft in that sense, difference is Tij is 11 months younger in his draft year.

@@HabsTypeBeat It's a no brainer imho, like Tkachuk should have been for the Habs. This guy will be a 10 year top6 forward at worst with his lineage and hockey sense. At best, he's a superstar player. Would be great value at 5. I'd even take him over Demidov.

@@HabsTypeBeat Except…. Brady Tkachuk is 6’4. Tij is 6’0. That’s a pretty significant difference, which would impact anybody trying to play like BT7

@@moviestoshare813 Im not talking about play style. I’m talking about the narrative around then in their draft years. “Safe pick, not the highest ceiling” they’re almost guaranteed top 6 forwards with upside to be even better.

@EQOEQO you and I speak for all Hab fans in general really hope so... it better be a forward drafted with that top 5 pick. The Habs have more than enough defenseman, they could even draft 1 with there second 1st round pick if they wanted too since this years draft class is dman heavy, but the priority should be drafting prospects on offense going forward with this rebuild for Les Canadiens.

@@HabsFan1978 Speak for yourself. If one of the 2 tops Ds of this draft are still available I want management to pick them. Especially that 6'8 guy who might be the next Chara.

@marc-olivierrenaud7495 That's your opinion... but bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, and majority of the fans want management to select a forward with that top 5 pick. I'll say it again, the Habs have way too many defenseman in the system and not enough good prospects on offense. The only players they have right now that can crack the top 6 is probably Joshua Roy, the rest like Owen Beck and company are very good complementary players you can fit into the lineup to play different roles but are not top 6 impactful players. You can only dress 6 dman on a starting roster and realistically not all of the Habs defenseman prospects are gonna end up playing for the Habs, especially now with all the trade rumors. So you mean to tell me that you'll be content if the Habs management select another dman with a top 5 pick, after being one of the worse teams in the league for the past 2 years, and leave the offensive lines status quo giving no help to Suzuki and Caufield??? Bottom line is... the Habs desperately need more scoring and size on the team, which this past season showed after losing plenty of games by a goal and not have Kirby Dach in the lineup for the whole year.

​@@HabsFan1978did something happen to Slavkovsky?

@coreygavin9134 nothing happened to Slaf except for continuing at getting better with his development. He improved big time this past season, solidifying his spot on the Habs top 6 and has been a beast in the Worlds tournament. All I'm trying to say is the Habs could use more help on offense, especially with the veteran guys getting older and players with big contracts that have underperformed, whom I'm hoping they turn their game around. The Habs rebuild is about getting younger, bigger, and faster. They've done that with the blueline and in nets, but not with the 2nd line and bottom 6. With the draft coming up and possible trades they can make during the off season without sacrificing key players, they could do that and maybe push the rebuild ahead of schedule. The team realistically could be competing in the playoffs 2-3yrs from now, or just wishful thinking as a diehard fan, maybe even a wild card spot as early as next year depending how things go and if certain guys can stay healthy. Who knows what the future holds, but I can tell you at the moment it's looking bright, especially now with this new management group going forward.

@@sergachev_9853I doubt Lindstrom drops to 5th

You guys would be so dumb to pick him at 5th 😂

@@italian1istAre you saying David St. Louis and the eliteprospects staff are dumb?

I'm taking him above Lindstrom now, possibly above demidov

Keep dreaming 😂

@@andrewclarke8163 i will Andrew, I will.

There's a good chance Mtl pick him if Lindstrom and Demidov are not available at 5th. I don't think he's still gonna be here at 9th unfortunatly for Flames fans. It would've been nice tho.

It’s his son

better than Suzuki IMO

@@bedbath9056in their draft years? Definitely, we will have to see if he has a jump in skill like Suzuki did after the draft.

@@bedbath9056In his draft year? Maybe. Difference is Suzuki is a top line two way centre. Hard for a winger to be better/more valuable than that.

@@bedbath9056 the way he moves around the ice, the way he’s built. The release on his shot!

Alot of prospects do it now, bedard and matthews have honestly changed the game of hockey forever
