Tij Iginla - Montreal Canadiens Pick at #5 

Most interesting draft analysis I’ve seen. Well done 👏🇨🇦

Personally, i know lindstrom probably has higher ceiling but i would really like tij iginla, his release is sick!

he only turns 18 in august so he is almoust a year younger

If Cayden Lindstrom is still available I'm sure the Habs would be kicking tires. He's got potential

I like Iginla over Lindstrom, even Sennecke over Lindstrom

In my eyes if we don't take Tij we will biting our fingers off as much as with Tkachuk

Montreal needs more skilled size. I think Lindstrom or Eiserman will be picked depending on who's available. I would be ok with Iginla as an alternative. I doubt Demidov will be available. If he is it would be very tempting but his size is not a good fit with thd Habs' current roster structure. I love Suzuki, Caufield and Hutson but I want them surrounded by big bodies that can scate and score.

Habs better not pick another D this year. I swear i will break my TV, i still havent replaced the remote from the Reinbacher pick. Oh well, guess it's time for a new TV anyway, this one is 2 yearrs old... lol. Isn't Iginla ranked like 9th-11th?? I wouldnt be surprised if they drafted iginla tho (just because it seems like Habs management likes to torcher me at draft time), i dont think they should, especially if Lindstrom is still available, and Demidov, forget about it. Rightfully so, Demidov or Lindstrom are much better choices. Again, iginla is ranked 9th-11th, whenever i would say anything about reinbacher in the past, EVERYONE would be like, i think ill trust the scouts over you, lol. I doubt he will make it to 11th, but he wont go at 5, i hope not anyway. But if i had to choose between Iginla and a defenseman, id go with iginla all day, our D is fine, we need scoring, badly, and if u disagree, i dont know what to say, lol, sorry, u have my sympathies?? Habs need someone that can consistently put the puck in the net, and create points, other then Nick.

My order #1 Celebrini. #2 Demidov. 3-15 ? Any order would be teams needs, scouting. Any pick not right or wrong, just team scouting need to do their homework. 😊

I like Catton, he's the most skilled after Celebrini and Demidov, Iginla and Catton had a fight, and Catton won, so he can be tough too.

Most drafted here below Demidov, are just going to be fine NHL'ers. Top 2 are a tier above.

Habs will pick a large forward that knocks them out at interview time. Habs depend much on the interviews... The Habs shrink listens and hears and then reports his findings and conclusions to K. Hughes.

If Demidov played in the CHL? Might be going #1.

Montreal wants size then pick Silayev and Latourneau with their 2 first round picks - they are both 6'7"

we pick sennecke

Demidov #2

Demidov we may trade up to get him

Noooooooooooo! Iginla will so badly mess up the spirit of the team.

I don't see why should anybody be upset if the Habs pick Iginla. That's a great player, and the apple didn't fall from the tree. All 3 of Jarome's kids have the pedigree of their father. Tij will be a great fit with the Habs, and his brother Joe is going to be better than him. I dont have a problem with Lindstrom except his injuries. That could be a problem.

As a flames fan who lives in Quebec it would hurt to not see him in a flames jersey but it would be great to be able to watch him more frequently live in Montreal (which is my 2nd favorite team)

Columbus just took two high pick defensemen. its likely they take Lindstrom.

Altho my pick is also Tij, i thought it was a bit of a wild take to say 'i believe he will be better than his dad'....normally sure why not....but when ur dad is a 600+ goal scorer that may prove....challenging 😅

tij i mean

Moving up will cost and we have lotsa' D and trading Roy is a loss so trade Matheson and keep Savard as our veteran. but a large forward seems likely. We have Suzuki at 210 lbs, Dach, Slav, and Armia on our fourth line. Priority is not size. A play driver like Catton would add more to the TEAM concept and a need for variety. Catton has it all and needs weight which is simple to solve. Catton pound for pound is the best forward in the draft and the play driver will add more to the TEAM. Size is easy to find but a solid play driver will win hockey games. Lafleur, Richard, etc were all under 6ft but were Giants and were play drivers. We cant pass up on this opportunity. Pick Catton! Suzuki. Cole, Catton, Dach, Slav, Mesar, Newhook, Roy, Iginla or Lindstrom if available, Beck, Evans, and Armia...Score and D on the 4th line!

Everyone is forgetting Catton , he has high end skill and plays big minutes on special teams . Iginla would be my #1 choice but as for an alternative I would be happy with Catton , and if he does drop to say 9 or 10 , someone will get a steal at that spot

Why isn't anyone talking about zayne

With the winnepeg pick maybe they pick Maxime massé or dean letourneau

Dimenov or Iginla with the 5th pick ,also like to see what they do with the Winnipeg pick

You got me sold wouldn’t mind seeing him in the line up

Beckett Sennecke is rated to have a higher ceiling than Lindstrom, but a lower floor. Draft for short term superiority or long term?

Ya there is they’re picking Lidstrom or Sennecke watch!
