Well, the draft is just over 24 hours away.
I thought it would be fun to see what everyone’s (somewhat) crazy predictions on what the Habs might do over the next two weeks – draft, trades, and UFA.
Here are my crazy predictions:
1)
The Habs will trade at least 1 of their first round picksThey traded both in the Dobson deal!2)
The Habs (if they keep at least 1 first round pick) will draft one of Spence, Bear, Nesbitt, or Lakovic, if they have both their picks, they will take a reach on Zharovsky or a defenceman (Reid or Fiddler)This will obviously not happen3) In the second round, they will draft either Wang or Nestrasil (Depending on if they took a forward or defence with their first round)
4) They will trade
for Rasmus Anderson – The went out and got Dobson, signed to 8 year deal! WOW5) They will sign Granlund
6) They will let Armia walk
7) They will let Dvorak walk, unless they do not find a center (ie: no Granlund or trade), on a cheap 1-2 year contract, and the Dach / Newhook experiment probably continues.
8) If they sign Dvorak, and do not get a center, they will go get a top 6 winger.
9) The Habs will trade Laine
10) They will try to sign Jake Allen, but likely end up with some other veteran backup goalie.
CC – Suzuki – Slaf
Dach – Granlund – Demidov
J. Andersonn – Newhook- Gallagher
Heineman – Evans – KapanenHutson-R. Anderson
Mattheson-Ghule
WiFi/Struble-CarrierMonty
Allen/Vet Back-upJason Bukala’s Mock Draft over on Sportsnet has the Habs drafting:
16. Montreal Canadiens (from CGY): Justin Carbonneau, RW, 6-foot-1, 191 pounds, Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (QMJHL)
17. Montreal Canadiens: Jack Nesbitt, C, 6-foot-4, 185 pounds, Windsor Spitfires (OHL)
Also, lots of chatter around the Habs on Twitter / Media that they are looking to do something big.

New, for
@TheAthletic
: Sources say the Noah Dobson sweepstakes is down to two teams … Montreal and Columbus … with a deal expected to come together soon 🔗⬇️IF the Habs trade for Dobson, my guess:
Mattheson (making cap room), Reinbacher, one of the 1sts, one of the 3rds
for
Dobson (signed) and a 4th
Guhle – Dobson
Hutson – Carrier
Wifi / Struble / UFA Vet signingJohn Tavares signs a four-year extension with the #leafs carrying a $4.38M AAV.
Cross him off the list (not that he was going to play anywhere else than Toronto).

That is an absolutely incredible contract. Wish more players where like that instead of being mercenaries and using their hometown teams as barganing chips to get top dollar.
For Dobson, I think both firsts, and one of Matheson, or Mailloux.
Perhaps.
Or a 1st and a 2nd.
I would prefer Mailloux be part of the deal, but I think it will be Reinbacher.

I doubt it’s Reinbacher because he will apparently be part of the management + players team that will be representing Montreal during the draft. Obviously things can change quickly though.

Noah Dobson is being traded to Montreal and signing an 8x$9.5M extension with the CanadiensDAY 2 PREDICTIONS!
– Habs move up to get Malcom Spence (but keep their other second round pick)
– Habs draft Alexander Zharovsky with thier other second (49th)I expect a bit of shuffling of picks, but no major trades today.
