I love the fact that his stock is rising. That being said, I have this gut feeling that he will be an asset moved at some point in the next year or two for a need to take us to the next level.

I know this is regularly dismissed, but are the brass being coy about not bringing him in this year early?

He turned 19 about a month ago and is going pretty good.
I watched his playoff game today which they won 4-3 and as mentioned in a previous post Alex had one assist.
I like the guy a LOT but one thing does puzzle me about him
He wears a cage when (by KHL rules etc) he doesn;’t have to.
It’s not like he is underage and required to have it
He’s been quoted as saying he likes it – he likes the protection it provides
I can’t think of any other player who – other than injury or an age requirment wears a full facial cage FULL TIME when they don’t have to.
Strikes me as being – just a bit- odd

Player assessment by the scouting team has been great. Equally impressive is the scouting of other team’s scouts and accurately assessing when other teams are going to take the player the Habs want.
The Habs traded picks 15&16 because they knew Zharovsky would slide to round 2. Then traded up (by overpaying by slot value) for an earlier 2nd round pick because they knew he wouldn’t be available by then.
The Habs were interested in Hutson earlier but apparently Bobrov had intel that he’d be available with their second 2nd round pick.
The Habs “reached” for Florian because they thought he’d be gone before their next pick.
Every team tries to do this, sometimes it is more guesstimation. I’m impressed with how accurate the Habs seem to be.

We’ve heard that before with some prospects, but what if it was true? We got our part of failures, but also some success with « take a chance pick ».
I would not say no to another very talented russian on the team!

Not only the pick but the foresight to find a trade partner to move up in the draft to make the pick. Both the Zharovsky and Hage picks required some ridiculous analysis and foresight as to what the other teams were doing at the draft.

It’s been a while since I,ve seen him play. I was under the impression he was slowing down. Anybody saw him play recenlty ?
Kent mentioned they were talking him with one of the 16,17 picks had they kept them.
I love the wording here, it’s not a theft, it’s muthafucking « Grand Larceny » 😏
How do they keep doing this? I am not complaining after years of draft failure but how?
Our drafting has been very good and very lucky lately.
This is puzzling because after Round 1, Zharovsky was definitely in the upper tier of offensive talent left. [I was hoping for him](https://www.reddit.com/r/Habs/comments/1llt299/comment/n02g50m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). It’s not like he was slated in the mid-rounds.

Just another day at the office, nothing special.
