On this episode of The Sick Podcast, Grant McCagg, Shayne Gaumond and Rocco Zappia discuss Recrutes' preliminary top ten mock draft, the prospects of the week and more!
I don't think it's the 1% to win it , as much as picking 2 spots higher and having a better chance at the player you want . But I agree not much different and your targeted player could drop anyways
As has been explained several times...it really won't make a huge difference if they pick 5 or 7. Much more important for the current team to win some games down the stretch than picking a spot or two higher as u can throw picks 5-7 in a hat and coose any of them
@@GrantMcCagg-yn4fy If Parekh is there at 5, Habs pick 7th Parekh gone by 7th pick and goes on to becoming an Erik Karlsson 2.0 … Then yes, it will end up having made a HUGE Difference
Why does the NHL keep records of hits/bodychecks per 60 minutes ? ....Example: - 2020 Ovechkin 6-3/230 not only scored goals but he delivered HITS & SANDPAPER. ......Ovechkin had more hits (6.89 per 60 minutes), than ((Mathews 1.21 + Marner 1.17 + Tavares 1.68 + Nylander 0.81 = 4.87). The leaf’s will never win a cup because their top 4 forwards are soft, non combative and afraid of getting hit.
I wasn't sure about Grant's take on Yakemchuk with the Habs at first, but after hearing him out, he really convinced me that it might be a really good pick (if that happens). Just imagine the defense in 2-3 years, that's the type of D-core that makes you win championships. Great podcast as always!
Most fans are hoping for a big forward such as Lindstrom but he will surely be already gone...Levshunov,Parekh or Yakemcuk then become the best players available from 5th to 7th. However, I would not be surprised at all if Montreal drafted Eiserman because they really need scoring on their top 6 !!!
The 1% chance doesn't make any difference can be appled all the way down the line, until you have 0% chance of winning EITHER lottery. Vegas obviousy ascribes to that philosophy, and it has worked for them, but it's fraught with peril, and inevitability they will have to pay the piper.
Regarding the 'who is Columbus future powerplay quarterback?' isn't that Werenski for the foreseeable future then Mateychuk? And Jiricek have definitely shown enough offensive talent that he may become an adequate PP QB as well. I think that's a strong enough plan at the very least that it isn't a hole they have to reach to fill.
Montreal won't pass on Eiserman, I think they may even trade up for him. They will finish the season with just 2 20 goal scorers, and a boatload of promising young defence prospects. Remember what Bergevin said at the draft table in 2019. when a pure scorer out of the USNTDP unexpectedly dropped....... "We need the goals". That is obviously still the case.
Eiserman is just a glider.. most likely won't be a good playoff player.. taking a dman isn't a bad thing. If there is a player available with only 2nd line potential and a top D available.. you take the dman. It would be alot easier to trade one of their dman for a good forward than pick what may be available.. I'd only go for demidov, Lindstrom, catton. If they aren't available and a top D is available I take the Dman. You probably be able to trade that dman for a way better forward than what would be available at that pick.
❤ Love the show ,looking on you tube after fact so maybe ask both if the choice of tall big defenseman the effect of Xhekaj beeing looked over by every team but the habs
If there is only a player available with 2nd line potential and not first and a dman with top line potential is still available.. they pick the D. D have a higher value than forwards.. itl be easy to trade one of their dmen for a package and getting a good high end forward or one with second line potential who's further into development. Would make more sense.
lol at Grant having the Habs pass on that legit forward talent for another Dman, too funny. Dude's on crack. And yes, Catton or Iginla could slide in the Habs top 6, no question in the next 2 years.
The ducks have some good defensive prospects but I would say they are as stacked with sure things like you said. Feel like it would be a very very good idea to take another rhd like Levshunov. They are absolutely stacked with young forwards and have Carlsson, McTavish, Zegras down the middle. Could see Zegras maybe being put on the wing and C. Gauthier being a winger too.
If you have a top 4 pick on your 2nd line, thats a great thing because it means you have a deep team. Patrick Kane was the 1st overall pick and won 3 Stanley Cups on the 2nd line.
Hughes is gonna make a huge move at the trade. Whether it's moving up or trading for a player already in the NHL. If the Habs wanna take the next step next year. They need to add scoring. I believe they're close enough to start adding.
If the Habs fall to the 6th or 7th pick .... I would trade the over rated shrimp forward [ Caufield 5-9/175 + 1st round pick ] for a power forward between 22 and 27 years old.... B, Tkachuck 6-4/212 .... Svetchinkov 6-2/195..... I. Barbeshev 6-0/190 .... L. Crouse 6-4/220 ... J. Erikson 6-1/210....

@@FooFahFoeFum That’s a clown example. None of the guys you named are Ovechkin from the early years and if there was an Ovi, we wouldn’t be able to afford him. So what are you saying? Nothing, period.
I don’t see how you can take any whl forward before catton. He carries a team by himself and got a 116 points doing it. Lindrstrom is great but I would take catton over him in the draft.
Slavkosky does not have the temperament to be a sandpaper type ... Bring a baseball bat to a knife fight ..... MTL management does not understand that a player 6-2/210 pound with 20 goals and (10.0 hits per 60 minutes) ......... is more valuable than a 5-9/175 pound thirty goal scorer and (1 hit per 60 minutes) played. IMO every team needs two large, heavy SANDPAPER players in the top 6 FORWARDS. ...
