Great time in Ottawa. Good ice sesh and lunch with the staff. Also great to see @mpuempel putting work in the gym. #mindstate

Would love to get him at some point this draft, but I doubt he falls to 3rd round.

They would have to trade up to get him as he will be a late 1st or 2nd round pick. I would love to trade up for a goalie like him.

anyways they probably just wanted to spend some moe time with him as most teams are inviting random players their city.

Makes sense. I'll make some calls.

Yikes, that might be a tall order just to draft him - although I like him a lot.

Sure, you can ask.

I wish we knew exactly who the Sens were bringing in, though.

The Habs brought in all their prospects today and posted the times for each player's ice session.

I guess like the Sens last year, you do that when you have a Top 5 pick. Not a 15th.

Yeah exactly. They've talked to Yakupov and Ceci already, those are the only two I've heard - and yeah, it's a 15th overall, not a top 5 pick like the Habs. I guess they want to be prepared, but how could we even think of moving up that much.

I would say they've talked to all the D-men we've talked about on here. Kookoo or whatever, Ceci, Maata, Lindolm etc.

I like how the Habs have brought in a ton of guys for different rounds, and posted this to the public (or at least somebody leaked it out...). They didn't just bring in guys for this 1st pick.

For the top 5 I would list it, for other rounds I don't think I would, unless it was a decoy.

Here is the list of players that were invited to the Habs combine. Pretty large.

Beauvillier, Francis
Belzile, Alex
Brassard, Francois
Bussieres, Raphael
Culkin, Ryan
Dubeau, Alex
Dumba, Mathew
Fraser, Jeremie
Girard, Felix
Galchenyuk, Alex
Gervais-Chouinard, Jacob
Grigorenko, Mikhail
Hache, Justin
Hart, Brian
Hudon, Charles
Jankowski, Mark
Koekkoek, Slater
Lagace, Maxime
Lalancette, Christophe
Lefebvre, Martin
MacEachern, Mac
Mallet, Alexandre
Marcoux, Etienne
Matteau, Stefan
McEneny, Evan
Melindy, James
O’Brien, Andrew
O’Brien, Liam
O’Brien, Zach
Oligny, Jimmy
Paquette, Cedric
Pearson, Tanner
Poulin, Dominic
Reinhart, Griffin
Rielly, Morgan
Roy, Derick
Roy, Frederic
Roy, Kevin
Sutter, Lukas
Trainor, Peter
Tremblay, Francois
Whitney, Brandon

Hmmm....a lot of defenders missing - like Maata, Pouliot (or whatever), Lindholm.

They didn't invite the Euros, but that doesn't mean they are interested. Most are over in Europe so it's a bit of a hassle.

I did have a theory a while back the the Sens pick Subban with the 15th pick, and trade Bishop/Anderson/Lehner for another 1st + a d-man or something like that. Not realistic most likely, but would be pretty interesting.

This all plays into the Lehner to Columbus rumours. I'll do some more digging.

So Subban is going to be a better goalie than Lehner?

Well I read that just after the draft combine the Leafs brought in 60 players for sessions. That's crazy...

Mac McEachern. Hmm, wonder what his nickname will be.

Yup. Button's rankings never lie. Never.
