Not sure. The team has had so many elite picks in recent years, I guess some go that way. Hischier, Ehlers, Meier, Drouin rose quckly in their draft year. Zadina and Lavoie may be perceived in some ways as a bit soft, but not sure its an accurate reading or problematic.

Apparently I’m not the only one that thinks he’ll be a bust.
He cannot fathom the idea that people actually follow something that he's not interested in.

Yes, obviously there is concern or he would be gone. Worth the risk at this point. Hometown bias talking.
Yeah, I wasn't really vocal about it... but I was disappointed that the Habs didn't go for the better draft position. If we would have been drafting 5th overall and took Caufield I'd have been pretty happy. All is good.
can trade 46 and 50 to move up to get him

Further proof NHL is a monkey see monkey do league - had TBay won the Cup vs being brutally molested in the playoffs, Caufield would’ve likely gone top-5.
Now options are opening up for Habs - with KK, Poehling and Danault there’s C size down the middle. Wing size can be addressed via other avenues

Or that Chuck Fletcher is an idiot. Most of my Flyers fans buddies here hate him so far.

Yeah, he didn't exactly do a superb job in Minny either.
That Hayes contract... Jesus.

Saw Lavoie play at least thirty games this year between the regular season, playoffs and Memorial Cup.
He's physically gifted and has the hockey sense of a lamppost.
In a league that is emphasizing smart play, he's likely going to continue to drop.
Think A-kost, only more so.

Second round wishlist... I'm assuming some of the players will gone by then, but here's hoping:
Alex Vlasic
Nicholas Robertson
Rees Jamieson
Will all be gone by 45, I safely assume. But after seeing Caufield & Krebs drop last night, I'll keep my hopes up.
More realistic possibilities:
Jordan Spence (Small, not great skating, but he does amazing things with the puck)
Simon Legaré (A lot of holes in his game, but super athletic, could develop into something)
Maxim Cajkovic (Skilled forward on a terrible team)
My Q bias for the year.

Also Stevie Y set the tone early by going completely off the reservation with the German...Chayka didn’t course correct either
