- OK Guys, it's time to take a look at the 2024 NHL draft. There are soo many talented young players that are going to be available this year.. and UNLIKE the 2023 draft.. I feel less "invested" in some of the prospects. But in a good way ofcourse.. Let's take a look! Who would you pick if Macklin Celebrini is already off the board and you were given the chance? Cayden Lindstrom? Ivan Demidov? I wanna hear all about it!
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,

Perfect timing just sat down to number 2
😂
show that thing who's boss buddy
@@HockeyJunkie will do coach
Who does number 2 work for!!!!!
We're thunderbuddies bro. Down with the brown big guy!
We're getting 1st or 2nd this year, I can feel it
that's the spirit man, I feel that way too
I literally came to the channel to say I fired up tankathon just now. Got 2 1sts and 2 2nds right away. It's a sign
I feel it
i bet money with my friends in december i felt a disturbance in the force and i told my boys this year we jump up. its happening.
The habs need to be the first team to use the only 2 first over all pick in 5 years rule.
Junkie we are lucky to have you has a habs fan!
Hope you do videos to cover the playoff, even though the habs are out. Enjoying the great content you put out. Glad I came across your channel. Go Habs Go!
Junkie it makes me smile when I see a new video from ya bud. Keep up the awesome my man :)
Berkly Catton has 54 goals and 62 assists in 68 games too, there are some good players available in the top 10. Plus young Iginla!!
@@toddlauretteHabsFan a forward is certainly what the habs want to pick. But it’s not catton. You’re reading click bait lol. It’s either trade up for Lindstrom or they pick eiserman or igjnla
@@Duke_Bootee24 how do u know? lol, everyone said they were gonna trade up last year too, they say that every year. and u said the same thing i said, like u were telling me something...
@@toddlauretteHabsFan I said “it’s either trade up” because that’s what they would like to do, not that I’m predicting they will 😂
And I am telling u something
@@Duke_Bootee24 Im afraid there's nothing u can tell me, but thanks for the effort, for someone with a mental disability, you are doing exceptionally well. Oh shit, sorry, i will keep my words easy, and short for u. Dont write back, i am done wasting my time with you. You can write if u want, maybe u will even get a like from someone, hell, it's worth a shot, go nuts, type back with a fury! lol. Or not, it dont matter, i aint readin' it anyway.
Berky Catton all the way. Based on your results, ppl are sleeping on this kid. I live in Kelowna, Iginla is WAY overrated. Lindstrom missed most of the season with back issues in his D year. That's a massive red flag. But besides that. I think his IQ is very questionable. We don't need another Jason Ward.
Putting Catton into perspective. His ppg this year was 3rd highest for a WHL player in his draft year in 20 years. Only behind Bedard and Reinhart. And this with total DOGS for teammates. 2nd highest scorer, Roulette (an overager) was a ~60 pt player until he was traded to Spokane. He got 108 pts.
And ppl say he's too small. He'll likely end up around 5'11" 185lbs. He's not afraid of the dirty areas. And he even beat Iginla in a scrap this year. But the pure skill and IQ is ELITE. Great skater. Very fast. Great hands and vision. And he's a very competitive kid. I highly recommend the recent video put out by David from Elite Prospects and also the interview David recommends at the end of it. This kid will be a star. Mark my words!
Kinda sounds like a Brayden Point clone which would be amazing
@@samspade4050 Yeah, I can see that. He's a fun player to watch. There are lots of highlight videos out there there showing what he can do. .Cheers.
Agreed
I’m with you on that one , back injury at 17 and not having the most impressive stats , looking like the next Kirby Dach , nothing wrong with Kirby Dach ……..when he actually plays. As for iginla , not sure what the hype is about .
It’s too bad the habs drafted reinbacher last year , cause Silayev is the next Chara. I’m aware I’ve said many times that the habs can’t draft anymore d-men but it might be worth it to trade Guhle in a package to get a good forward and draft silayev, those big Russians are a bitch to play against, and that guy is the biggest of em all. Think about that for the future when you face teams that have nishuchkin or Rempe ect ect
Imagine a defensive core looking like this
Silayev-Mailloux
Hutson-Reinbacher
Xhekaj- Barron struble engstrom
You’d better take your vitamin before facing the habs 😂😂😂
Cayden Lindstrom - I might even pick him #1. Size, protects the puck and speed. What St. Lous has done with Slafzilla he can do with Lindstrom. Kongstrom and Slafzilla burning down every arena in the NHL by 2026/27 season. Bring it on!!!
Lindstrom is injured now. Not sure we need another Dach........I'd go Iginla.
Back problem. If it doesn't fully heal, you wasted an important pick.
Dont need another Kotkaneimi. Too many question marks. The best floor is Tij Iginla. Go for the obvious and not overthink it like they did with Jesperi instead of Brady Tkachuk.
always injured and with his style of play will likely get more injured
@@ktowniecity7269 Yeah, I agree. Go with Iginla knowing you'll get a solid power forward. I'm not sold on Lindstrom, too many question marks.
Future truly is exciting
Demidov is probably gone by the time we pick. I just noticed Eiserman has 49 goals in 49 games this season
What better time for us to get a pure goal scorer like that
@@crazeinthedark no chance they draft eiserman at 5
There is always a chance brother@@chrishansen8477
Yeah and the blackhawks are HEAVILY linked to Demidov if they dont pick 1st
@@crazeinthedark Eiserman is a tough player to judge.. The goalscoring is undeniable, but he pretty much lacks heavily in every other aspect of the game, at this point in his career, he is the ultimate one-dimensional player. I don't think Kent Hughes really likes that, but I could be wrong
We forget to mention that Cole Eiserman is August 29th birthday. The age cut off for draft eligibility is September 15th. He's gotta be the youngest player of the entire draft
I haven’t read the news on him or anything, but he’s been tanking in the draft standings… Do you know why?
Statiscally, there is still half a month left for younger players. There are 12 months, so chances are that 1 out of every 24 players are younger than him. 7 rounds x 32 players / 24 = 9.33 younger players!
he's only a month younger than Tij Iginla. 28 days to be accurate.
@@edouardbenoit6922 I've been looking him up alot today and it seems he has all the tools to become the next Ovechkin on the powerplay.
But the way he's developing he seems like he'll be more of a Mike Hoffman unfortunately.
As of now, his shot, as elite as it is, is his only tool. And unfortunately to become a consistent threat in the NHL and be worthy of a top line role, he needs to develop other tools. Unfortunately, the last year has shown him not attempting to do so. His future will mostly depend on where he ends up and who he plays with as he doesn't drive the play himself.
I want us a Tij
Fr, Tij or Demidov and we good
@@lightninginqc7837 Demidov will only be had at 2OA. Tij is the only choice
Kentfident. LOL
I'm offering up to 4 #1 for celebrini!! Think about it ! I get a guy who will be a star for at least 10 years in the nhl and any other holes I need to fill I've got plenty of great D I can trade ! That is what I do !!
I'm seeing a lot of d-men here and I really hope Hughes doesn't disappoint us by taking one. We have about 80 of them looking to make the team in September, and we still desperately need some scoring depth.
If we got Demidov I guess that's good... but I'm really not gonna be excited about getting another small skill player. I'd much rather take a bit of a risk and take Lindstrom. And maybe I'd look like an idiot not taking Ivan at #2, or maybe Lindstrom becomes a top power forward like he has potential to be. Then again, maybe I'm just too old school minded since being small isn't as bad as it used to be, since the game is so much less physical than it used to be... idk. I'm glad I don't have to be the one to make the picks.
Liked update at 75 yrs old please Mtl has to get right picks ,it’s time start making playoffs & get a Stanley Cup ! Worth living to 80 , I can wait get it going boys ! Number 72 is my best player hands down hope Wifi shoulder heal
You just made my evening, Junkie.
We’re definitely good on defence for the future! We need this draft to be forward only.
With the Boston connection nobody better to draft Celebrini than Hughes. Hopefully it's meant to be.
Do you do your own video editing? What software
Might seem unreasonable, but i want all 1st-4th round picks in the upcoming 2 drafts to be used on forwards, by using the picks or trading em.
Montreal doesn’t need any additional defensemen to add to the logjam and we just got rid of a goaltender ... also quite a few are developIng well.
Ran tankathon for the last time today. Five spins. Why stop at 5? I got Montreal picking at #1 three times in 5 is why! That's it, I'm done.
Thank you
Just like last year, i am not allowing myself to get emotional about any draft picks until after they are picked. I trust management to pick the best player. They know way more than any of us could ever dream to know. If we cant get macklin i will be happy with whoever they draft. They may not use the pick and trade it with Harris or Struble or whatever.
would it be crazy of me to ask the habs to pick a big guy who can score goals to round out all the little guys who can score goals that they usually try to get...maybe like cayden lindstrom?
I would definitely like to see a caufield-suzuki-slaf
Eiserman/lindstrom-dach -newhook
Roy-Jake evans -mario
Pezz-Xhekaj-anderson
Last year, I was interested in Eiserman. Demidov looks like a better pick than him despite Lindstrom looking real good too. I even think Catton has better vision and hockey sense than all the guys I have named so far. If the Habs don't win the lottery, I'm sure they will pick a good player even though they might not the the best player available in the draft at whatever place they end up picking. The top 10 can all become impact players. I will accept whoever the Habs scouts choose. But more importantly, Garry promised the Habs would win the lottery. And if they do, I'm buying Garry a 12 pack. You got that Garry?
kent is gonna work his magic, dont know what the magic trick is gonna be, but hes gonna do something
Berkly Catton lit up the WHL, and Cayden Lindstrom's been quite injured this year. I'd be quite happy with Catton. 116 pts in the W.
Konsta Helenius is my pick. He just had a great season in the Liiga as a 17yr old. Is a center and already plays a 200ft game. A good solid skater that can be hard to knock off the puck even if he is only 5'11". Underrated passing and shooting. Let him continue developing in Finland for another year or two and bring him over when he is ready for the NHL.
My Top-6 Favs prospects are :
1. Celebrini
2. Demidov
3. Parekh
4. Cayden Lindstrom
5. Berkly Catton
6. Zeev Buium
If we get any of these guys,
I’ll be happy
As a flames fan God I want iginla. But wouldn't be angry if we got catton. But idk where we are in the standings. We were close to 6th overall for a little bit there and then we won a couple
Of there is any chance Habs pick high enough to grab Demidov who is free to come to America in only one year, that's the guy I want to cheer for in two years.
MTL is loaded on defense so they have enough young dmen to afford not taking the best player if it's another defenseman. So if Demidov and Lindstrom are gone, they will take baby Iggu who is a great two way player with a huge heart and competitive spirit.
Cayden Lindstrom >>>>
I know people are scared to draft for size but look at how well it turned out with slafkovsky? He was the perfect fit for montreal and he addressed a need in our top 6. That being said we are still a small team and with a package of size and skill (also being a good fit for the team) i can seriously see montreal gunning for lindstrom and silayev. Were not talking about mccarron here these guys can skate,dominate the play and lay down the boom. I also think letourneau is underrated as the big man is very mobile and has suprisingly soft hands.
Im sorry but if were at 5, and anton silayev is aviable we have to take the best player aviable hes just such a smooth skater for his size and have alot more offensive upside, its almost like chris pronger and victor hedman had a baby together.
Demidov is the most skilled reminds me of my favorite jagr with his sweet dangles
Don't really care who they pick the top 10 looks pretty solid overall as long as whoever they pick is developped to their full potential. People want the habs to draft a forward but I wouldn't be against drafting Leshunov, he is a RHD who has a higher ceiling then Reinbacher and Mailloux, drafting him would allow us to trade one of the other 2 in a package deal with a 1st round pick to get a premium forward.
Irony will strike and Utah will win 1st pick
If it happens, then we will know it's rigged.
i have that feeling too. That's fine as long as Lindstrom falls to the Habs.
The Utah Magic Underwears selection better not be 1st overall..LoL
@@stephenphillips6245magic underwears ? I won't ask.
Because it's a reference I understand.
@@johnnygag1 Mormons have religion based underwear that have been rumoured to be bulletproof.
Big problem. Carey Price couldn’t pronounce any of the top 5 picks.
I'm interested to know what you think about the Jets' pick. Anyone catch your eye or do you think we'll trade it?
We if drop to 7th and Celebrini / Demidov / Lindstrom / Catton / Iginla are all off the board, I'd gladly take Levshunov or Parekh before Eiserman, Helenius, Greentree, Buium or Dickinson.
Guhle - Levshunov-or-Parekh
Hutson - Reinbacher
Harris-or-Xhekaj - Mailloux
would make for a formidable D-corp when in their peak.
The sad part is that Suzuki would be like, 28 by then.
Leonard and mitchkov will be unreal young players their ceiling are higher than.bedard if you ask me more complege
while i am mostly on board with the majority of Hugo's decisions, i almost don't want the Montreal to win the second lottery ball, as after last summer i have very little faith in mgmt to pick Demidov at 2OA. However, if he drops to 5th/6th and the Habs pass on him? that's gonna make last summer look functional by comparison.
The questino is, do they see Iginla or Catton as top line potential. If they don't, they would be crazy not to take a D with no.1 potential. You have to remember that these are assets that can be traded. How much is a 3rd line center worth???? or a 2nd line winger??? not much. Let's say we take Parekh and he becomes our no.1D on the right side. That means Reinbacher on 2nd pair (with Hutson) and Mailloux on the 3rd pair or you trade him for a boat load.
We already have like 9 guys that can play top 6. We do need 1-2 legit superstars upfront, but what we don't need is another Newhook (not bashing Newhook). We already have Dach, Newhook, Roy, Ylonen plus guys like Heineman, Beck, Mesar in the pipeline. Anyone below Dach's caliber is not worth adding to this already long list of 2-3 line guys. If Demidov and Lindstrom are not available, I'd rather them take Parekh (or Levshunov if Parekh is also gone)
Id love to see Liam Obrian in a Habs Uniform
Drafting a forward is a must unless trades are coming involving dmen currently in the roster. If we agree that Hutson and Mailloux are starting next year, than Harris, Honda civic must go….. unless we get lucky at number 2-3 in the draft, and GMs are being stupid to let Demidov or Linstrom slip down, little Iggy is the pick for the Habs!!
Iginla is a sure shot !
Yup.
best floor. they better not overthink it. Tij and Slaf in top 6 solves all the grit/power forward quotient of top 2 lines.
Draft Sennecke with Jets pick at 25 as well. Who's a unit
"OveRAAA! 😂😂
Demidov is tempting and won't complain if we land him. That would mean we would have to consider eventually moving Caulfield. I don't see use winning the cup with half our top 6 weighing 170-180lbs.
We need to build this team for the playoffs. We're already there on defence. A 6'4" center with great speed, agility, scoring and physicality is something you'll never get in a trade. You have to draft them. We missed out on Brady. Let's not make the same mistake!!!
Kirby Dach?
Dach, Slaf. These are the two top 6 guys with real size. It's 2 out of 6. Better than the Habs usual of 0 in 6. It's a good start, but we need more. If your team has speed, size and talent, you become extremely hard to play against in the playoffs. I've been dreaming of having a team like that for 30 years. @@s.b.3275
I just ran tankathon 7 times and not once did the habs go up in the draft. I have no faith that they will get anything better 5th. Most likely picking 6th or 7th.
whens the draft?
Who do we take if we're picking 2nd?
Offensive talent with some grit, Lindstrom or Iginla.
Calgary wants Iginla so we trade down with them as long as we don't win lottery.
Calgary gets Montreal 2024 1st rounder.
Calgary gets Jordan Harris
Montreal gets Calgary 2024 1st rounder.
Montreal gets the Florida 1st rounder next year.
Montreal gets the Calgary 1st rounder next year with elimination of that weird draft rule with the Monahan trade. No protection if Calgary or Florida wins the draft lottery next year we keep the pick.
With this we now have 2 first round picks this year and 3 first round picks next year which is supposed to be a better draft.
If they pick at 5 or 6, I won't lose my mind if they take Dickinson. I am leary of Eisermann (I heard he could be another Hoffman). I won't be mad if they reach for Iginla.
I'm not that interested in Demidov but I'd be fine with any of Parekh, Catton and Iginla. In the event of getting 2nd overall, I would seek to trade down.
Junkie always with the heaviest hitting reporting
Arizona's dying act could be giving Montreal 1st overall? That'd be something =]
Habs can easily trade up. Switch picks and offer picks and players to make the move. This becomes easier if the team above wants a D pick, We can send them Baron a Ist Pick and switch their pick for a 5th
Demigodzilla 📺
I’ve been advocating for the lottery win since Christmas. Get me some Celibrini with a sides of Hutson in mtl
You really need to see how Cotton plays, he is outstanding. Better then Couley, fast, quick, good skating, amazing hands, amazing skills and really high IQ. Lindstrom has potential of being a Brady Tckachuk, power foward for series. Demidov is the new talent of Russia, if he is available this is the first pick we have to take. We may have the chance to take Demidov because Montreal is the only team that doesn't need centers or D on the top 5. Iginla is good but more about top 10 then top 5. Eiserman is the youngest talented sniper in the roaster, but has maybe an attitude of an Patrick Lane. My top order foward is: Demidov, Cotton, Lindstrom, Eiserman, Iginla.
Great vid Junkie for me Lidstrom , Dememdov Ignla although I don’t like ignla s defensive game
Habs GM has reported that they will be drafting on needs NOT best. So Montreal will be taking a forward.
I can understand how you would want a Potential offensive star when we have been
impotent scoring wise for so long.
good job man well done ill pick demidov personnaly and not a big fan of iginla he is not his father not the same erea too..i know what im talkin about btw if its a cant miss why dont we just pick GAVIN ! do a trade and stick with the plan
If we get 5th I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we trade the winnipeg pick to move up
Most likely going to cost a lot more. Columbus would be asking for 2 1sts to move up
Cayden Lindstrom at 1, Iggies young fella at 2 and Dean Letourneau for out third size skill and 60 grit sandpaper
3rd overall wouldn't be pretty sweet
Cayden lindstrom let’s get big and playoff ready
when's the draft lottery?
Mai 7th
The pez intro. Why is it gone?
I want Demidov, but Lindstrom or Iginla would be great consolation prizes
Catton is second best forward of this draft hands down. Why he's so underrated? That is bewildering to me. He'll be the second forward coming off the board!
Doesnt matter if habs draft 1st or 6th, Hughes is gonna mess up by picking a defenseman.
Its a shame.
I want Demidov but I think we will get Lindstrom and that’s scary. Lindstrom is awesome but based on how often habs players get injured and his history of significant injuries… scary
im hoping we grab a lil iggy. imagine him with dach. yes please
Cole C. and first pick for Celebrini !!!
Never mind the lottery. We need changes starting this summer. Team needs good established veterans to foster the young talents we have.
I think we get 3 or 6
I can see Parekh in the lineup already :)
It would wrap the rebuild nicely to win the lottery and then try to win since you cant win the lottery more than 2 times in 5 years
I want the Habs to get anything but the 2nd overall pick. Good chance they over analyze the situation and end up taking Demidov
Lindstrom or Silayev the league is allways going for big guys with size and that can score hit and play. The more the merry.
Zack P
Hey Matt - check out Adam Jecko - that's the guy that I am watching.
Who do you think is winning the cup?
Calgary will give you a mint for the 6th pick...Habs...just saying.
not the biggest fan of Eiserman ngl
8 more points than last year, but one less win.
Demidov all the way if we pick 2nd
Dont need another Kotkaneimi. Too many question marks on Lindstrom. The best floor is Tij Iginla. Go for the obvious and not overthink it like they did with Jesperi instead of Brady Tkachuk. Demidov would only be available in top2 not at 5-6-7
The better question is who they draft at 25 overall?
Beckett Sennecke looks marvelous, same talent as Lindstrom and size.
they shoudl take demidov. unlike michokv he doesnt have attitude problems and looks as good as him. his contract is way shorter also
42% chance of drafting in the top 5
And a 58.2% top 7
It's almost a heads or tails
team baby igilna
I heard theres a young man named Sidney Crosby we could draft
Lindstrom and Demidov will be gone by the time we select. This leaves us with Iginla v2 Catton and Eiserman. Greentree as a Dark Horse.
Lindstrom
ayden lindtrin
I love Demidov, but i have a feeling that if he's available, the Habs won't take him, for a second choice, i would take Catton or Eiserman.
I will be pissed
That still may be a thing,due to the w a r situation.Whatever happens,take the best player available,imho.
Catton was my choice after Celebrini, demidov and lidstrom but the Elite prospects podcast in march made me change my mind, I would rather have tij iginla if those 3 guys are gone
If they take either of those guys over Lindstrom I'll flip my lid.
