Habs Select Juraj Slafkovsky 1st Overall (+Kirby Dach Trade)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- OK Guys, its time to take a look at the incredible NHL entry draft of 2022, and the work that the Montreal Canadiens done early. They selected Juraj Slafkovsky with their first overall pick, and in this video I will give my initial reaction to this selection. I will also talk about the trades that took place, with essentially the Canadiens losing Alexander Romanov, to the Islanders, and in return getting Kirby Dach from the Chicago Blackhawks in a 3 way trade type deal.
The articles that were in the video were screenshots from Habsfanatics.com, I highly reccommend you to check out this site for further Habs News,
Let me know whatcha think of this one down in the comment section!

And ofcourse, thanks for watching!
No matter who they pick, they’re Canadiens now and we’ve got to support them. Looking forward to seeing Slaf and Mesar at training camp!
I’m gonna miss Romy and his thundering body checks. His play was vastly improved last season plus it looked like this guy genuinely loved playing for the Habs. Like you said, I hope Dach finally finds his game in Mtl. I don’t think I can take another flop like the Sergachev/Drouin trade.
Ghule is coming but I feel the same
agreed 👍 bro
@@lancegallant3647 oof yeah I agree. That one still hurts
Wont miss him next year when youll see Dach/Slaf/Barron/Harris and Guhle play , you wont even think about him😂
This MIGHT put ur mind at ease a little, a little i said! lol, They asked Slafkovsky the other day when he felt he made the leap to being the 1st overall selection, they asked was it a certain play, was it a certain moment, or time or whatever? Slafkovsky said when i got here (North America) and started skating on the smaller ice, I found it a lot easier to hit people, a lot easier to get to the net, just found it to be a much more suitable ice surface. He'd been playing on huge ice surface his whole life, and the smaller ice surface really helped his game. The Habs made the best move for the draft in my opinion, I hate losing Romanov, but i dont know if u remember, a while ago i was saying i wanted a power forward line! Well we got one now! Could be the pp line, or even a good pk line, Slafkovsky, Dach, and Anderson, that's 700 lbs of muscle out there on one line!! Imagine a team having to play against that for a 7 game series!!! I am super stoked that we got Slafkovsky, I guess time will tell who was the best pick, but i think they chose the right man for the job. Now to do something with Petry, Drouin, and Armia.
Right on the money Todd. This is just what the doctor ordered. Go Habs Go!👍👍
the biggest problem I see is that the Habs basically got Slafkovsky+Dach instead of Wright + lekkerimaki/Kemmel/Nazar. I might even have to say Slaf > Wright, but there’s no way that I believe that the combination of Wright with one of those high end wingers wouldn’t be better than Slaf and Dach.
Thank you for this Todd ❤️ making me feel better already lol
Montreals own legion of doom
Yeah exactly. Would like to see Hoffman and dadonov and maybe Dvorak traded as well
This has turned into a high speed rebuild. When the trades were announced I was hoping they were gonna grab the 4th overall and grab Wright. The building would have BLOWN UP !!! I guess we just wait and see...gonna miss Romy.
I also was getting HYPED jumping around thinking we got Wright and Slav LOL got baited on that one.. Still like the trade tho, im a big Dach fan
Can't believ how fast your channel is growing brother, Been here since 98 subs or something lol. Keep up the great videos, you're the best habs youtuber!
thanx for the HABS info
Dach could be a stud, I loved watching him in Saskatoon. Was always a really fun player to watch. Time will tell if he has what it takes to compete for the 2C spot.
Habs have a bad recent history with 3rd overall picks.
Kirby Dach is already a bust , paying a 13 th overall AND Alexandre Romanov for him was robbery , just gross
@@stephaneferron5317 They didn't pay Romanov AND the 13th. From what they possessed at the beginning of the night, They lost Romanov, 66th pick and 98th pick, they gained Dach.
@@steve8803 But they sure owned the 13th overall at one point. It was there’s, there was two separate trades so yes at one point they owned the 13th overall
Btw would you pay a 13th And the 66th overall for Kirby Dach?😂😂😂 Sorry I’m just a guy commenting from my couch, I’m no NHL gm , but I’ve been watching hockey for long enough to know that if Dach can’t produce with an offensive minded team like the Hawks then he sure as hell won’t be productive with the habs , a team that can barely get a guy reaching the 60 pts mark
Hughes should of quit while he was ahead
@@stephaneferron5317 It was essentially a 3-way trade, that's why it happened at once. The Islanders gave up the 13th. What the habs lost was as described above. As for would I do it? Honestly, I don't know. I've never watched Dach play.
Romanov hurt, his hits will be missed. But we have guys ready to fill that spot. And Dach is only 21 and shouldn't be to expensive to sign. Slafkovsky should be ready to play this year. Gamble yes. But for the price it's only gonna be under 1 mill for Slafkovsky and 2 to 3.5 for Dach is my guess. So under 5 million to fill 2 big holes in the line up.
If the gamble pays off this could be huge
I pray to the stars Xhekaj fills his shoes
Great 👍 video 👍 junkie 👍, it was good seeing on the show ,I m actually quite pleased with the Habs moves . 😀 like you I ll miss Romanov, but we had to give up something to get Dach . And I hate to say we couldn't let Gule go or Harris from the left side ,so unfortunately it had to be Romanov, their trying to buy time Romanov was due an increase. So that puts that out of there . And remember Dach had a wrist injury, so that takes time to get back when your finesse with his shot . That can take some time to get back to normal from . He be fine. And I had a bad feeling there were things we didn't know about Wright s game . Three teams passed on him for a reason . I didn't like the work ethic issue s he had . Like you I was leaning towards Wright, but I wasn't so sure after a lot of reports started coming out about his work ethic, and there was film shown of him not making any effort to get back to help his team in the defensesive zone . That sent red flags up for me ,we ve had enough problems in that area ,don't need anymore. And with all that I know Hugh's, and Gorton did there homework. I trust their decision. They re very intelligent when it comes to the game . We lacked size ,and got a power forward that s going to leave Anderson in the dust. Dach gives us the center with size we needed which replace s needing Wright. As much as as top centers are scarce ,power forwards even more so . We definitely have a 1 st line now . He will insulate Caufield, and Suzuki. And he s got a nose for the net ,and can do the dirty work for that line ,plus he's got offensive skills to boot 👢 Next season is the draft to find an elite center if we need it . Much stronger draft next year . Believe me the Habs are moving in the right direction, speed ,and size with both these guys 👦, and the other Slovak kid we got on right wing ,has good offensive skills . It's looking good 👍 my bro 👌. And in a lot of the reports Wright s hit his peak ,theirs a much higher ceiling for Slovkosky. They project Slovkosky s ceiling may be reached in 2 to 3 years ,still allot of Peaking to go upward . Thats a great 👍 thing to hear. I was on the fence ,but I wasn't liking what I was hearing on Wright . I however thought the would pick Wright due to fan pressure. I m glad they went with the best player. 👌 And remember the Habs weren't the only team to figure that out ,evidently 3 other teams did as well ,thats why they passed on him. We have to remember these kids are all going to make mistakes getting use to n h l . Slovkosky s the only one out of the.three that is ready for the nhl as well. And if I were Seattle I ld send Wright to the.juniors another season ,i think it hurt his game missing that season prior to this year. I think he needs another season that may help him Excell his game more. He s needs that time back . So all s good 👍, but all of our kids are going to make mistakes, so that's the growing process in a rebuild. It's all good 👍 we ll be just fine 🙂
very well said bud :)
@@AKAKATTACK_YT t y
How do you even come up with these nicknames on the fly 😂 good video, keep up the good work my man
LOL, ikr
King grasshopper great follow up to the 1st rd action. I like the moves. Numbers do not always show the player , who they are and what drives them to success. Trust the process, it's different from what we have fans are use to seeing. Would like to see another trendy signed if pricey is still wrong. Buuuut 1st ty good sir for your efforts. And ghg!
my man junkie already came up with a new nickname lets goooooo slapshotsky
How many complete games of Wright did you watch ? Probably not a lot. From what I saw he lacks the second and third effort that many times are the difference between a win or a loss. Not that he's not talented. He himself admitted that he needs to work on his grit. Also Susuki and Caufield totally deserve to have Montreal try to complete their line for the years to come. Still hope for the best to Wright in his development.
I think we got bigger and better and with the studs we have on defense Romy will not be missed as Guhle can hit as hard
Guhle will probably score more than 3 goals a year, and isn't a defensive liability.
What is it with Montreal and trading great defensive prospects on what ended up being bad returns. McDonagh for Gomez, Sergachev for Drouin, and now that multi move trade that basically ends up being Romanov for Dach. Hopefully, Dach ends up being a win in the end but I’m sceptical. I can’t believe Montréal passed on Wright. I hope Slafkovsky doesn’t end up being another Yakupov. Love all your content! Cheers from one Newfoundlander Habs fan to another!
We took a hit in the hair depth chart, but the handsome depth chart got way deeper
that was a great draft . I would rather have Dach than Wright, now
u have a 6'4" 18 year old Slafkovsky to play with Dach or Suzuki. lots of young d coming up the pipe . this d is going to be puck movers
If I am not mistaken, Romanov was an rfa. So maybe the brass got a wiff of a rumor saying that Romanov was planning to leave Montreal. At least so I hope. Because I liked him in a Habs jersey.
I am very unhappy with all the HABS did tonight…I hope I am wrong but I have my doubts.
I actually like the moves and pick, even though I was in the Wright train and annoyed at the late rising Slafkovsky hype. Slafkovsky - Suzuki - Caufield is pretty sweet. And even I felt the bad treatment of Dach from the Chicago org, he has potential and is huge. Big bodies with skill is smart. Can't believe people actually like other hockey teams lol go habs go.
Dude, believe the hype
I am way lower on Romanov then most habs fans and I love this trade. Romanov was a defensive liability last and was only good for hits, Dach and Caufield are friends from the USDP and I'm excited for him. Slav makes me nervous because I don't want another kk situation.
when your only argument is statistic...yeah you clearly not a scout...no surprise you not see what they see
CH will replace Hammer Romanov with Hammer Guhle.
Would have prefer Cooley , but i am happy with the Dach trade
im ok with the romy trade... bc i feel he is near off his top game ... to me he is more a 2.0 emilin than a top 4 def
SUCH A HABS WWWWWWW
So we traded another potential star Russian defenseman for another third round forward that doesn't seem to be living up to his potential. Might just be bitter since Romy was one of my favourite on our D core but this really feels like the past repeating itself.
Slaf and Dach lol, Slaf, it could be a good move, but Dach, i just hope Wright doesn't win the Calder.
Also, I really dont want Slaf to play this year if we gonna tank, fr fr, i say let drou and dadanov contract run out, then play him.
I think he's gonna be another loen drysidle
Why would they let go of Dach at 21 years old, 6 foot 4 when they are rebuilding. It took Romanov a 13 98, 66 to get him.
Chicago wanted more a 13 pick than their previous third pick, a big two way center. Something does seems right here.
I think Hughes is taking a huge guess with slaf and Dach who has proven nothing and already 3 years under his belt.
Time will show both centers will contribute more than slaf who may be just another anderson 2,0
Yeah honestly Dach has not been good at all and he played with Kane and Debrincat lol not sure I like the move just yet
How did pain for Shane turn into a furby and Oscar the slouch 🥹😂
Marker was drafted at 4th look at him now lol
Kirby Dach can’t produce with a team like the blackhawks but Hughes thinks this guy will produce in montreal? After a major wrist surgery .
The habs weren’t winners tonight
I completely agree. I’d rather have Wright + an elite winger like Lekkerimaki, Kemmel, or Nazar over Slafkovsky and Dach. Even if Slafkovsky is better than Wright, I don’t think it was overall better for the Habs.
I can’t process this… I just can’t…
Rononov can now start trying to block shots with ny . He didn’t hit shit since st Louie was coach ( good riddance

lots of longshots in 1st round plus im sad no player from the Q got drafted lets hope Habs pick Luneau or Warren 2nd round
in 10 years wright is going to be one of the top 10 players of the decade and Slopski will be back in slopland
I hope you're wrong, but I fear you may be right.
Arrogant bastard talking shit already?? Must be an american
Slaf played on a heavily defensive oriented team in finland on the 3rd/4th line like 10min/game so obviously he isnt gonna produce as much
Kent Hughes and Jeff Gordon are metal AF. They don't play around.. lol
Slapshotsky wasn't who I thought we'd take but he's here and I hope he dominates!
Kent Huges just proved that he’s got bigger and smarter balls than Bergevin. Like I’ve never flipped so much happy shit during a draft in my entire life. Looking very forward to seeing our boys play next season.
Smarter balls. Lay off the booze. Habs picked terribly.
@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234 they picked slaf cuz they wanted to POWER UP the first line with Suzuki and caufield and then traded for a Centre (Kirby Dach) to hopefully make up for not picking Shane. so this has a good chance of being better than drafting Shane and be done with it like that. Now we just have to wait an see
@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234 stay mad.
He did almost an identical trade as Bergy with the Romy trade, Johnathen Drouin was also a third pick lol. Not saying it won't work just the trade is almost identical on paper.
I liked Romanov as a #4 D man and turns out the Habs have a boat load of D prospects and I would gamble that either Barron, Harris, Struble, Mailloux, or Norlinder can fill his role. Ghule will be the stud first line D man.
Xhekaj
Mailloux hasn't even been signed to a contract yet.
@@jeffpedler6094 i hope they Will it will be stupid not to
the sheriff ...our man in hamilton arby will lay the lumber ...get suspended a few times as well
Ngl i wanted wright but im so fuckin happy to have juraj in our team lets goooo
Arby big body and bone crushing body checks will have you forgetting Romy.
Slav is way more mature that KK and personally I see him as more of a jagr type player, KK was just to skinny for the nhl
dach has been injured , last year was is first time with over 50games, and jack hughes in the same draft only blew up last season... wait 2 years for dach ... i feel poeple forget the injuries
I want to see Slaf's training camp before making any judgments yet. I also think Dach is a bit of a gamble, but it's one that needs to be taken. The left defense is still going to be logged as is. The Habs needed a potential 2nd C. If Dach lives up to his potential, the fit could be perfect. Once again, only time will tell.
Best habs review on yt thanks junkie you da best at this shit
fax
Dach will most likely be 2nd line C or 3rd til dvorak gets traded then dach will jump 2nd C
Great pick!
Agreed with you 100% on everything. No really, I'm not just saying that. I'm going to miss Romanov even though they have many prospects on D coming up and Dach has been a disappointment so far in Chicago. I know he's only 21 and that's what gives me hope but he was also picked 3rd overall. So yes, it's a gamble. Same goes for Slafkovsky. I liked what I see in highlight reels but can he sustain that offensive flair for the rest of his career? Let's hope so. I'm also disappointed because I really like Frank Nazar who looked like a poor man's Denis Savard on the ice in the highlight reels I watched. He was still available when Chicago picked him up with that 13th pick the Habs used to get Dach.. Brad Lambert was also available at the 26th spot and the Habs picked some guy I never heard of. As mentioned, I agreed with you on everything, including being an arm chair GM. So what do I know? But I was hoping to be happier at the end of the night. Now let's hope they have a good day 2 at the draft.
the league saw talent coming out of slovakia was high calibre, 2 players got picked in the top 4. and more. getting kirby dach for romanov, makes centre ice younger and easier to mold. i knew gorton was going to make a mark, and we got younger and better, and still have guys to trade for more. i hope they go all out and build from the ground up, offload the older players and let these guys in.
FIRST!!!!!
Love your video lol
I dont like the Dach trade, id rather take NAzar over Dach, 26 points in 70 games is really bad, THATS KK PRODUCTION FFS. Nazar had the highest offensive ceiling, he looked really good, and he got picked with the damn pick we gave them, Im done bruh.
Lets pray that Bedard will be the next first pick of MTL now
Seattle might have actually been the best franchise for Shane to go to. On the other hand there’s no way Shane didn’t give Arizona cold vibes in their interviews lol.
Can’t wait to see this team develop in the years to come. Get ready to smoke that Tampa pack everybody
Great video my friend
I'm DISGRUNTLED 🤬😡🤬😡 Big is not good when you got a 😻 strapped on your underside
I am very glad that when I clicked this video, I was treated by a roller blade sponsorship by Shane Wright!
I have rarely seen a worst Omen, poor guy...
he seemed so fixated on going number one, i got the jitters. he'll be good no doubt on a young team, but it turned pretty sour going 4th.
It’s no rebuild it’s win this year , that’s y the trade for dach
DURI SLAFGOLSKY vivat slovakia-kosice
Romanov was overhyped.
Its a crap shoot, just hope for the best..
Great video junkie. Romanov will be missed but we got many great d men coming up, xhekaj, barron, mailloux, guhld, etc. Happy to see what each dach will Bring. We are weak up the middle. Also we will see with slafkovsky, if he can be a good fit for Caulfield Suzuki line,
JURAJ! He's going to thrive on smaller ice sheets here. The big mann has big potential and a big personality to match.
I wanted Dach, but am heartbroken Romanov was the price. I'm praying to all the gods this isn't another drouin scenario. Figure this Russian situation played a big role in that decision
Somebody needs to explain to me this Romanov trade because at first glance I'm really not like it at all!! This seems like the Drouin trade all over again
We still got Arby--I have a gut feeling from the beginning that Slafkofsky will be to a winger as chara to the bruins.
I am not convinced this was the right move, But only time will tell! This is a big gamble, Can only hope for the best.

I don't mind the Slafkovsky selection but to trade Romanov and get Dach is just plain STUPID! In this first draft for the Canadiens Hughes didn't do very well!
I am DISGUSTED with Hughes!👎👎👎👎😠😠
mea sententia 🦂🦂
Romanov sucks
This was an horrible night and very counter productive for montreal , the Slafkovski pick was fine but the rest was brutal
They went on to acquire bust Dach and Mesar who isn’t a first rounder by any mean and they paid a 13, 66, 98 pick overall and Romanov
Any way you look at it , this isn’t a win by a long shot, gross
Romanov was not gonna have a spot on this defence in 2 years. The fact he played so many minutes is one of the main reasons we got the 1st oa...He was by far the most expendable piece with actual value MTL had for the draft. And Dach will have the same role wright would have had anyways. Is it a gamble...yes, but a very high upside one.
@@kevinpelletierdeslauriers7709 Dach won't even be a center an after next season. He has no face-off ability. He'll be an energy line player. Nothing more.
Yeah this was one of the biggest disappointing drafts ive seen the Habs do. Dach at best is a 2C so again MTL with the same fucking problem of no 1C. And slaf prob be a 40-50 point player. Respectable but not even close to a 1OA.
Dach and his 9 goals vs Romanovs 3.
Problem isn’t Dach vs Romanov. the biggest problem I see is that the Habs basically got Slafkovsky+Dach instead of Wright + lekkerimaki/Kemmel/Nazar. I might even have to say Slaf > Wright, but there’s no way that I believe that the combination of Wright with one of those high end wingers wouldn’t be better than Slaf and Dach.
@@Tanmoy49 They asked Slafkovsky the other day when he felt he made the leap to being the 1st overall selection, they asked was it a certain play, was it a certain moment, or time or whatever? Slafkovsky said when he got to North America and started skating on the smaller ice, he found it a lot easier to hit people, a lot easier to get to the net, just found it to be a much more suitable ice surface. Also 2 other Gm's passed on wright.
@@SmoothOperator2013 again, the question isn’t whether or not Slafkovsky is better than Wright. It’s whether or not Slafkovsky + Dach is better than Wright + either one of Lekkerimaki, Kemmel or Nazar (elite wingers they could’ve gotten with the 13th pick). And I think that Slaf might be better than Wright, but Dach is significantly worse than any of those 3 prospects.
@@Tanmoy49 They said the only two draft picks that are NHL ready were Slafkovsky, and Nemec. I wanted Wright for a long time even during the season. I was saying fail for #1 to draft wright, then I saw an interview of him,(he was cocky and arrogant. He reminded me of the cancer Pacioretty). I also started comparing his play to Slafkovsky's. The size was a big turning point for me, and the play. The real question isn't who is better. It is who will be able to contribute in the NHL sooner. The answer is Slafkovsky and Dach.
Finally the habs have some size up front!
Dach is already a bust, Slaf is a future bust. I love to hate to love this garbage team.
My feeling exactly
Hey, If you’re right and Montreal just got worse, isn’t that good for the Habs? If they finish anywhere near what they did this year and go last, they’re guaranteed either Bedard, Michkov, or Fantilli - all players who are leaps and bounds ahead of Slafkovsky and Wright combined!
Big mistake
I was a little disappointed about them not picking Wright but now thinking about it im really happy with Slafkovsky
Same the whole 1st OVR and trade was planned
