Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri

Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockeyedio cast. My name is Amitra Filipovich and joining me for part two of our

2024 annual mock draft are my good buddies Cam Robinson and Chris Peters. CP, I believe you're here

on the clock with the number five overall pick. Just to run it down for those of us that are just

tuning in now, we did McEnsalbony 1, Artem Lefshanov 2, Ivan Demadov 3, Caden Lindstrom 4, and now the

Montreal Canadians are on the clock. So C.P., what are you going to do with this pick?

Yeah, I think it becomes a lot trickier now that both Demadov and Lindstrom are off the board. And so, you know, I think that

there is, there's a lot of different players that I'm thinking of, you know, in terms of both what I would

do if I were Montreal and, you know, just strictly going off my board. If I was going off my board,

Anton Salive would be the next pick. But I don't necessarily feel like that fits for me with this group.

And the other thing that, that, you know, I'm having a hard time getting past is, you know, Kent Hughes has said, all things equal, we take a forward.

But I think all things aren't equal at this point with two of the better forward prospects

off the board.

I love Berkeley Caton.

He's one of the guys, you know, but I think that in terms of what, how the

Canadians are being built, I don't think he's a fit for them.

So I'm taking that into consideration as well.

And I'm saying, okay, well, if it has to go this way and I have to do it this way,

to me, you know, I think the most impactful pick that the HABs can make if those guys are off

the board is Eve Bouillon. And you say, wait a second, they got Cole Hudson or they got,

not Cole Hudson, Lane Hudson. I've been thinking about 2024 draft too much.
