Alexis Cournoyer
Elite Prospects6’4″ Goalie
another 19 year old. Going to Cornell like Andy Bernard. I know they like NCAA guys deep in the draft because there’s no pressure to sign them to contracts right away
Good numbers. You never, know. Could be good for Laval too.
Oh! I’m not poopooing him … Cole Caufield is a smurf too …
At 5’7 I could probably poop on right his head
L.J. Mooney
Elite ProspectsA smurf … 5’7″ RW/C (shoots right)

Is it possible it’s his second year of eligibility in the draft? He’s 19
Yes … according to RDS:
“Pickford a aidé les Tigers de Medicine Hat à remporter le titre dans la WHL.
Après avoir été ignoré au repêchage l’année passée, il a inscrit 20 buts et 47 points en 48 matchs dans la saison régulière. Lors des séries éliminatoires, il a marqué un but dans huit matchs consécutifs, battant le record par un défenseur en séries dans la WHL, établi à sept matchs de suite.” – RDS
Yeah not sure about this pick. Looks like his stats were on steroids because he played with McKenna. This being said I haven’t seen him play maybe he’s the next Giordano
Bryce Pickford
Elite Prospects6’1″ Defenseman (shoots right)

Hayden Paupanekis, 6’5 center from Kelona
They are swinging for the fence in this draft

Now we need a center
Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts podcast this morning: “I don’t know if there’s anyone (in the league) trying harder to do things than Montreal.” Mentions Dobson and reiterates that they want to add another forward to play with Demidov. “The Canadiens are aggressive.”
Good to read
Started a new topic Draft and UFA Bingo Card (the game, not the poster).
Thought it might be fun to see what other crazy predictions others might have for the 2025 NHL Draft and UFA.
Cannot wait to see what people share and think!
Is Dobson a habs yet?

Interesting point of view … yep, there’s give and take for organizations and players.
On 5 year terms, the AAVs would be higher, which likely would not be noticed in the next few years, until the cap starts flat-lining again.
Could also make July 1st a lot more interesting and fun again, allow terms to rebuild faster.
(Or watch a total nightmare of signings happen, just as fun, as long as it is the other team).
I mean cap the flat lined because of Covid mainly, chances of it happening again are not likely
Playoff salary cap was a must, it was getting ridiculous in some cases.
Agreed 100% … the maximum contracts should be 5 years in my opinion.
Maybe it will get there eventually.
Always funny that the league has to do rules to protect the owners from the GMs they hire. If you don’t want contracts over 5 years just don’t offer them. Gas companies can stick together to keep prices high but 32 GMs can’t
What’s shorter? 6 years?
What’s shorter? 6 years?
the max lengths will be 7 and 6 years as oppose to 7 and 8 years.
Thanks Gramps!
