FirstStar Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Would be so cool if the german guy would go so high at the end. German draft picks are somewhat rare, but there have been a few. Don't remember there being any high draft picks from Germany though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Careyprice Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Leon Draisaitl is a big center, never saw him play but keep on eye on him. German draft picks are somewhat rare, but there have been a few. Don't remember there being any high draft picks from Germany though. They are definitely rare but Germany has produced NHLers like Dany Heatley, Marcel Goc both are former first round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are definitely rare but Germany has produced NHLers like Dany Heatley, Marcel Goc both are former first round picks. I don't know if I'd put Heatley in that category, although he was born in Germany, he grew up in Canada. He has never represented Germany, but has represented Canada several times. If anything, Canada produced Heatley, he grew up learning the game and playing it in Canada. But bellow is a great example of solid NHLer Germany produced. Seidenburg is a good example of a German hockey player who's presently playing in the NHL, wouldn't mind having him on our habs, even though he's accustomed to playing with apes. I expect him to join the German national team at Sochi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shutoutfan Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 We didn't qualify for Sochi. I hope if he can remain that high on the board that there will be some coverage here. We really could use a Nowitzki on ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East_Coast_Juggalo_13 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Brendan Lemieux (Son of Claude Lemieux), is draft eligible this year. He's currently playing playing for the Barrie Colts and imho is worth going "off the board" for on draft day. According to scouting reports I've read, he plays similar to his father with a more modern game skill set applied to it. Every video I've seen of his play shows him going into the high risk traffic areas and in front of the net. I'd spend our 1st rounder on him.

Born-To-Be-A-Hab Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 The habs blew it last year when they should have traded up to get Anthony mantha. Anthony Duclair was their for the taking with their later picks. So who's the top two point scorers in the QMJHL this year ? Mantha and Duclair are 1and2 . So why should 2014 be any different !

There's no real strong Quebecois prospects in this years draft...Guys I would be looking at out of the Q: 1st round-Ivan Barbashev-If this guy is available when we pick we should pick him...He's a stud... Later Rounds: Mathew Highmore-Saint John...Solid 2 way centre, worth a 4th round selection Mark Simpson-Moncton-Bit of a project but definitely worth a 5th or 6th round selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Careyprice Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 If the habs are drafting between 18-28 right now I would hope for Alex Tuch. He is 6'3 220 powerforward that play's C/RW. More info on him: Big wing who is good on his edges and gets to the net. Offensively has a good skill set, with hands that let go a quick hard shot. Can power to the front and is stong on his carries, using his reach to control the biscuit. Needs to get a bit quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Bah Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 While Danny Heatley was born in Germany and drafted 2nd OV, there are Marcel Goc (20th OV) and Marco Sturm (21st OV) drafted by San Jose Sharks. Besides Seidenberg, going back in time the first German born to play in the NHL was Walt Tkaczuk. Tkaczuk was a extremely good defensive center, raised in Timmins Ont. and was invited to play for Team Canada in 1972 for the Summit series. He turned down the invitation, another very big German player discovered by Scotty Bowman, while GM of Buffalo was Uwe Krupp, the second German born player after Tkaczuk to make an NHL All-Star team. Draisaitl is a very good prospect and will be the highest draft choice ever of a player from German descent, but most likely behind Heatley for German born players.

I think 14 - 24th is a more appropriate range (for a window of 10 possibilities). According to the mid-term rankings (14 to 24th ranked players), and summarizing information available from some prospect sites (Forecaster, EP, HF), here's a list of the 10 players in that range who might be available to us. It's no substitute for actually following the players of course, so feel free to add information! RW :: Nikolay Goldobin :: OHL - Offensive, goal producer - 6'0 185lbs at 18 - Defensive Liability - Russian D :: Roland McKeown :: OHL - Simple (but effective) two-way play - 6'1 195lbs at 18 - Canadian (Ont) LW :: Sonny Milano :: USHL - Quick and evasive with good hands - 5'10 159lbs at 17 - Likes carrying the puck - US (NY) C/LW :: Dylan Larkin :: USHL - Power forward, drives the net - 6'0 172 lbs at 17 - US (Detroit) C/RW :: Joshua Ho-Sang :: OHL - Agile, creative, offensive forward - 5'11 165lbs at 18 - Canadian (Ont) C :: Nick Schmaltz :: USHL - Two-way forward with quick hands - 6'0 172lbs at 18 - US (Wisconsin) D :: Brycen Martin :: WHL - Mobile, offensive-minded D-man - 6'2 185lbs at 17 - Canadian (Cgy) C/RW :: Alex Tuch :: USHL - Power Forward/Grinder that can work with skilled players - 6'3 218lbs at 17 - Impressive forechecker - US (NY) LW :: Nikolaj Ehlers :: QMJHL - Speedy puck handler with a good wrister - 6'0 163lbs at 18 - Denmark C :: Eric Cornel :: OHL - Mobile, two-way playmaker, uses his body - 6'2 185lbs at 17 - Under weight for his size - Canadian (Ont) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTed3 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Much less interest in the draft yet this season... yet. I'm rightly or wrongly more convinced we can make a playoff push this season, so won't be focusing much on the draft until after the season's done.

BigTed3 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Draft lottery about to start... it would be hilarious to have seen the Devils win, get told they can't have 1st overall, then a re-draw done and have Ottawa win only to have their pick sent to Anaheim.

BigTed3 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Florida moving up to #1, Buffalo down to #2, and Toronto stays at #8 (thankfully). But once again, there will be a couple of top 3 picks stepping into our division... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinot-1 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 An interesting name in the draft this year, Brendan Lemieux. Sound familiar? . It should. Claude ended his career tied for third with Joe Sakic on the all-time NHL list with 19 game-winning goals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for three different teams. He's rated at # 28,,, up from #38 right around the time we will be picking. this year he produced 27 goals, 53 points and 145 penalty minutes in 65 regular season games. "I'm playing my best when I'm playing playoff-style hockey," Lemieux said. "That type of hockey includes making simple and smart plays and scoring a clutch goal every so often. It also means getting under the skin of the opposition, getting them agitated, really working hard and playing good defense." "Brendan is a guy you can put in front of the net because he can agitate and be a pest; I think that's in his DNA," director of NHL Central Scouting Dan Marr said.

31Careyprice Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 My personal favourite's for the habs to draft 1. Jake Virtanen RW 6'1 208 Projected to go: 7-14 (Habs require to trade up) Pros: Plays physical, excellent wrist shot and a fast skater. Cons: Hockey Sense Similar: Evander Kane 2. Alex Tuch RW 6'3 222 Projected to go: 15-20 Pros: Physical, Excellent board and in front of the net work, Strong Cons: Skating, Offensive upside may not be that high Similar: Bryan Bickell 3. Adrian Kempe LW 6'2 187 Projected to go: 23-35 Pros: Good shot, work ethic, loves to hit Cons: limited offensive upside, add weight Similar: Mika Zibanejad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm I said earlier on in this thread that I would gladly take BL if we were picking later in the 1st round...Ehlers and Ho Sang caught my eyes as well depending on where we pick in the 1st round...Going off the board for Lemieux would be alright with me though.

HabsAlways Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I want Brendan on this team. 6'1 , 210lbs, feisty, 10 pts in 11 play off games ... some talent etc. Great 3rd liner that can jump to the 2nd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
