I think Gallagher takes this easily. 4 straight RWs. I figure Montreal should get at least one top-6 and another top-9 RW out of that.
The best 25 and under forwards are Pacioretty, Eller, Desharnais and Leblanc though, so its not like center and left wing are that neglected. RW has a larger amount of players who are longer shots to make it.
With Leblanc, Kristo, Avtsin, Gallagher and Palushaj, I don't think we have enough right-handed right wingers.
Are you planning on voting for all 40 odd Habs prospects or are you planning on just a top 25-30ish?
I like seeing the fan base's picks plus it's going by pretty quickly so far. Looking at Hockey's Future we have a ton of prospects and 3 of the newly drafted guys aren't even up there yet.
Are you planning on doing a vote right to the last 40ish odd prospect or just planning on doing a top 25?
I like seeing the fan base's opinion and results and so far it has been going pretty quick.
Hockey's Future has everyone listed except 4 of the newly drafted guys and I didn't count Weber or DD. 44 is the number I got lol. Wyman & Johnson could both be gone as well as they're UFA's.
Whaaat? I chose that picture on purpose, it's so badass! I'm trying to get a picture of them with their team, so him in a KHL jersey, or just a headshot doesn't work for me.

I'm not sure as of right now. I said in the beginning that I wasn't going to count White, Weber and Desharnais... And honestly Diaz shouldn't even count, he's a 26yo Free Agent FFS, he's a professional hockey player. We should probably leave out Wyman and Johnson, as I think it's unlikely either will be re-signed. So we'll just keep on going until either we make it to the end, or interest really dies down (Kind of weird to vote over the 38th best prospect).
