    Damn, you’ve summed up the repeated last month of habs discord conversation into a simple to read flow chart. Masterpiece

    Is Zach Benson > Ryan Leonard? Don’t know much about either of them. Hoping our decision tree has ended before this in any case.

    Better content than most of our media.

  4. I think this year, we’ll really see what Hughes’s philosophy is.

    Will he take the risky, potential-superstar player that.maybe has a difficult attitude?

    Will he take the small, skillful forward?

    Will he take the well-rounded, bigger winger?

    Or will he draft more for need, and draft a right-handed D in a year where defensemen are scarce?

  5. RolandFigaro

    Great flowchart, but is Leonard really a reach?

  6. quadriplegic_cheetah

    This is the way. Benson over Leonard every day of the week and twice on Sundays

  7. Good job you resumed exacly my thought about the draft

  8. greasydrg

    Michkov over Smith imo, I actually have a couple more prospects over Smith but would rather not get yelled at.

  9. idontplaypolo

    This is perfect. Great job! I would add one player to the last line: reach for big boy center Dvorsky

    The sad part of this type of discussion is that it will take years for most people to look like fools and we won’t care by that point. Obviously the players are skilled in that specific order and picking any other order is because of bad reasons. It’s not like every draft everybody was wrong about most players.

    Remember the 2015 draft? People on this reddit were saying things like.

    ”I feel like we already have a Hughes type dman in mete tho, and wahlstrom is so fkn skilled you can’t pass on him”

    ”Guys I really don’t think Tkachuk is on the same level as Zadina and Svechnikov. I’m sure Marc Bergevin does though.”

  11. Old_Gregg_69

    Why is Leonard somehow a “reach” and Benson isn’t?

  12. Admirable_Pension_74

    Someone needs to email this chart to Hughes. This is pretty much the most logical approach the Habs should take in this draft.

  13. BubbleGumPlant

    Great job. Now we just need one with adding trade up/down scenarios. Bonus points if one of the trade scenarios includes Calgary’s conditional 2025 1rst round pick and adds its own conditions to that pick.

  14. DogNard

    I’d draft Leonard ahead of Benson personally, and unlike the rest of you, I *am* a scout

  15. christiv7

    Mods need to make this an automod command or something

  16. admarsden

    Great job, sums up my take on this draft lol.

    Most people seem to think that drafting Reinbacher at 5OA would be a reach. I agree and feel the same way about Leonard as well

  17. PhReAk0909

    As a man who builds flow charts for work daily, this is incredibly satisfying

  18. hackmastergeneral

    The reason NOT to pick Benson is because we have several smaller forward already.

  19. GoalCaufieldReg

    We should just trade back to 8 with WAS, get an extra first for next year AND still get Benson at 8 because based on many reports, ARZ is focusing solely on Dvorsky and Reinbacher, and PHI is focused on Leonard and Reinbacher (which means Benson will be available at 8).

    Thats call great asset management.

  20. As things are going right now, there’s a better chance of Fantilli being available than Carlsson.
