  1. The only "small" player who is able to be drafted by Montréal is Michkov. If Montréal don’t draft Smith or Michkov they will go for a Leonard or Dvorsky.

  2. I don't even want to hear this debate. Draft the best player available. Don't worry about selling beers. Michkov or Smith. I'm done with this team and flyover city otherwise.

  3. Leonard is a natural Centre. Played on the wing to fill out that line with Smith and Perreault. Goal scorer, 200ft player.

  4. Some people are disappointed that the best we will get from the Panthers first round choice will be a 31st or 32nd choice.  But, I'm not.  I have 4 goaltenders in my top 32 that deserve a second look.  Like Michael Hrabal, Carson Bjarnason, Adam Gajin, Damian Clara.  So, lets keep our eyes open.

  5. then trade down… why would you go for a reach at 5? and what's with that michkov ''risk''. You have a higher risk of losing an american player that extend his college stay to go UFA than a russian not showing up in the NHL…
