Well, we’re roughly a month away from arguably the most exciting part of the
NHL offseason: the annual entry draft.  General Managers and scouting
staffs are always busy during this time of year trying to find the next elite
NHL’er.  Now, it’s your turn to play the role of Canadiens GM Bob
Gainey.  You get to choose how the Habs approach the draft table this
year.  Submit your responses and we’ll gather a consensus on how you, the
diehard fans, want the draft to go down.


Here are some things you may
want to consider in your response:

• 
  

  Do you trade up, down, or stay with your first round pick (18th
  overall)?

  
  
• 
  

  Do you consider moving players for picks? Picks for players?
  

  
  
• 
  

  Do you try to stockpile picks in the latter rounds?

  
  
• 
  

  Do you take a “risk” pick in the first round like last year, or do you go for
  a “safer” pick?

  
  
• 
  

  What position(s) do you want to stockpile, do you think the Habs should draft
  more forwards, or maybe d-men, or
  goalies?

  
  
• 
  

  Is there a specific league the Habs should draft more out of (ie: OHL, QMJHL,
  NCAA, Elite Leagues)?

  
  
• 
  

  (feel free to mention any other ideas not mentioned
  here.)
