Montreal loves their French Canadian players. If they could draft a big French Canadian center to be the face of their franchise they'd be all over it.

 

I would trade the 5th straight up for Galchenyuk if they're that motivated to draft Dubois.

For sure but I doubt the Habs have any interest in moving him. It would take more than the 5th to pry AG loose. They would likely offer up a boatload of picks for Dubois or just pick BPA at 9th rather than move Gal

Most likely.

 

Unless they know Galchenyuk wants more than they're willing to sign him for and/or they have plans to make a strong push for Stamkos. You never know.

I wouldn't like that personally. Galy's good but I think we've pretty much seen what he can do. Really good player , not elite. I'd like to root for someone from this draft instead to turn into something a bit more. That's half the fun. 

And Montreal will not trade with us for # 5 until they know for sure the club picking at #4 didn't take PLD. 

So basically on the draft floor after the 4 th pick. 

Kinda been thinking bout PLD a lot lately. We could do a lot worse than the # 1 Canadian in the 2016 draft. So if that's the pick I'm down.

I dunno man.  22yrs old and already had a 30 goal season.  He's got a few years to go before he peaks and will probably continue to improve his game.  He would be 1st overall if his draft year were redone.

You're right about that. He would definitely be the 1st if it was redone. Fairly week draft though. 

Man yea he might have a bit more to offer but I'd just feel like we missed out. I'm a gambler

People seriously wouldn't trade galchenyuk for 5th overall? Heck I'd trade every pick we own in this draft for galchenyuk. 

ya we would be wise to jump on that offer if it was on the table. I just dont think they would want to move him, be the 9th pick plus.

 

Montreal would want a future of Gally and Dubois as 1/2 C combo I would assume

What are the odds that the Oilers take PLD? I know they're stocked up with centers but PLD was a natural winger and did well at C so he could take draws? Just wondering, I really want PLD over MT.

Depending on how high Montreal is on Dubois, I could see a move between the Oilers and the Canadians. 4th OA for 9th OA and some instant help on defense, or something to that effect.

I thought that the Oilers said they wouldn't move the pick for a defenceman unless it was Subban or Weber

I agree, I see Montreal and Edmonton getting a deal done. Montreal will draft Dubois, and Edmonton will take whatever defensemen is available at 9th. 

 

Toronto: Auston Matthews

Winnipeg: Patrik Laine

Columbus: Jesse Puljujärvi

Montreal (EDM): Pierre-Luc Dubois

Vancouver: Matthew Tkachuk

Calgary: Olli Juolevi

Arizona: Mikhail Sergachyov

Buffalo: Alexander Nylander

Edmonton (MON): Jacob Chychrun

Are they going after him only because he's French ? If so he should be fired? Montreals offer.

Yup they're going after him because he's french and he wants to be drafted by them because he's french the same way every player from BC is demanding trades and offering their services for low low prices to play in vancouver.

 

No mas, they're literally taking geography and trying to reach some sort of believable scenario where we give up the 5th for the 9th and scraps.

 

it's kinda sad.

Did u guys see the piece on nux.Com 

 

About keeping or dealing the pick. Too me it screams a possible trade down or they are trying to get a team to take a bite.  

 

Jb said he's heard some surprising names available.  Im curious what's gonna happen. I think jb has something up his sleeve.
