I’d at least consider taking Martone 1OA if we win the lottery. Like you said, he’s not likely to develop into a 1st line center, but still. Players like that don’t grow on trees.
One could say that we are “in the mix” for that 1st round draft pick…
Thanks to Nashville for reminding rebuild skeptics that trying to build a team in free agency almost never works.
We need to draft a center. Omg, do we need to draft a talented center.
We need that elite centre so bad. A 1-2 punch of Hagens/Misa/Frondell and Suzuki would help us so much. The only way I see them taking Martone is if they’re 100% sold on Hage as a future top 6 centre
This also shows you can have generational talent like bedard and still not make progress in your rebuild.
It absolutely has to be a center. I cant behind anyone wanting Shaefer or Martone. Martone won’t do anything with jake evans at 2c. No team has 3 6’4 plus wingers in their top 6 like we do already. Its the last thing we need. You always take bpa but Misa hagens etc are there. It not reach like kk was.
We really need to draft a 1C
Great year for center hunting.
Misa is 6’1 and has 21 goals in 17 ohl games.
Wtf, imagine him receiving the wizard passes from demidov.
Porter Martone has 32p in 15gp so far this season and is a 6’3 center, he’s my pick if we don’t have 1OA. Possibly even if we do.
We shouldn’t draft by position
But we need a C or a D
Step 1: Draft James Hagens or Micheal Misa (they need a C, we need to be ready that Dach won’t be one) Step 2: Trade Kirby Dach + Flames 1st for a legit top 4 D Step 3: Completely redo the coaching staff. MSL hasn’t showed he can lead a roster, no progression from the team since he’s in town, even the individual progress is getting more and more difficult to praise MSL for it.
Since we are not ready this year, even if I’m pretty sure the team’s situation is way better than the actual results, if we have to miss the playoffs, I’d prefer to get another great player in the next draft.
Sooner or later, the Canadiens gonna become a force to reckon with, just not this season.
Also Calgary may finish in no man’s land so we could get an 11th-16th overall pick too from the Monahan trade. Here’s hoping!
Don’t forget about Ryabkin
I was honestly hoping we would actually improve this year. Certainly not a playoff team, but at least some fight. 4 years on, and we really shouldn’t be getting behind a tank less than 20 games into the season.
LFG
Bro you forgot the guy I want above them all : porter martone
Just imagine a line of Hagens, Laine & Demidov.
I like Misa more
Everyone sleeping on Hagens. Lighting it up at BC as a true freshman. Add a little mass and he slots right in as a playmaking 1C for Cole and Slaf
They can’t get wrong with one of Hagens, Misa, Martone or Schaefer but I’ll take Schaefer since I see him as a near flawless top 5 defensemen in the league constantly logging 25 to 30 minutes a night and eventually becoming a first-ballot HHOF. A bit like Niklas Lindstrom
Don’t forget we also get a 1st round CGY/FLA pick. Not sure how high that pick would be.
One month in the season and we’re already back to the sim lottery and looking for the next savior with a top pick. The fanbase is way too lenient with this rebuild that has shown limited progress.
