Too volatile of a draft to  guess but  Heres the  story
  hughers  and kakko

at 3  its  the mostt pivotal   spot,  when  Byram  goes out   get ready for an unslaught of  dman in the next pick . I think byram goes 5th. same story  with  Centers, Once    a  center is picked  after turcotte  be ready they are all going out.

as a habs fan if I want 1 guy to  drop is  Caufield  but he went  from  17th to 7th  in a month so  hardly any chance. if not  Harley/york/broberg are fine.   if Podkolzin  is still there i think  we take him,  im curiopus about kalyiev  51g 51a  2nd best goal scorere in the draft why not...

my issue with D is they wont b rdy when /if our current foward group hits rfa status...with those 10m caphit

domi is getting 8m+ next year

gallagher getting 6m+ next year

petry getting 7m+ next year

what if KK gets 70pts this year... ir next ... now its 9m+

I won’t have time to put up a list. My sole “prediction” is that unless one of the forwards currently in the top 10 falls unexpectedly, Montreal will draft a D. My guess would be either York or Harley.

 

I hope the Habs get Suzuki. The last time we had brothers on the team it worked out super well.

One of the biggest picks that was panned as a "reach" at the time that I recall vividly was when the Jets chose Mark Scheifele seventh overall in 2011. I personally remember being shocked at the time, as many others were. So many players "ranked" higher than him were left on the board.

If you redid that draft, though, he's probably the first overall pick. 

Ever since, I've taken that to heart when evaluating how much of a shock it is when a team goes off the board for their guy. Always wait and see.
