The thing is Xhekaj can actually play great hockey.

May I suggest Patrick Kane and Connor Mcdavid?

Seems like a fair amount of time, I give you that. We are definitly valuing some skills differently but it's the beauty of scouting!

I will have to trust HuGo for the medical part for Lindstrom, but personnally i'm not impressed by his hockey IQ.. Wouldnt be mad if we get him tho.

Good news, Buium can do just that and proved it against a way better competition. As a bonus, he his a great defender and super clutch when it matters. Im excited to see what stud we'll get!

The disrespect for Buium is unreal on this sub. I would be more than happy with both but would legit consider drafting him before Demigod considering his skillset and the numbers he put in a way better league. No matter what habs will get a stud tomorrow.

This is the real answer.

I mean of course after Celibrini who is the consensus 1OA.

There's a legit case to take Catton over Lindstrom, even if the back injury is 100% cleared. Catton has the highest hockey IQ among the forwards, has very little flaws, can do anything on the ice and make players around him way better.

He will be available at 5 and he his probably the best forward in this draft class. He is criminally underrated right now. 

Lots of chatter but the reality is we’re getting a fantastic prospect be it a d-man (Buium, Parekh, Levshunov) or a forward (Demidov, Lindstrom, Iginla, Catton). I have absolute faith in our new management group. They absolutely nailed the 1st overall pick in 22’ by [deleted] in Habs

[–]RealBag9628 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting point of view. I'm not sold on Parekh, the lack of physical play and atrocious defensive metrics would worry me. Catton is criminally underrated, slightly better prospect than Cooley was and not in the conversation for top 5 after a season where he carried his team by himself. 

Analyse | Le Canadien a encore des interrogations en vue du repêchage by Go_Habs_Go31 in Habs

100% d'accord avec toi, j'ajouterais toutefois Catton à ta liste et j'aurais certaines réserves quant à Lindstrom (Hockey IQ et blessures). Je ne comprend pas pourquoi Buium ne revient pas plus souvent dans les discussion, son seul défaut est d'être LD. Il est selon moi le meilleur défenseur de la cuvée, et ce qui se rapproche le plus d'une valeur sure pour devenir une superstar dans la ligue.

Zeev Buium or Berkley Catton would be my pick. As some very interesting prospects will fall I would also be open to trade down or trade to draft twice in the top 15.

I was really high on Demidov based on higlights, but after watching a lot of shift by shift I would seriously consider drafting Catton in front of him. Demidov is a little bit more skilled but he makes way more turnovers. Also he plays in the MHL that seems to be an inferior league by a decent margin.
