trade/sign a center, in a year Peohling comes, in 2 Kotkoniemi...

Veleno seemed to give that Angelo Esposito vibe. Like I said, may good players are left in the 2nd round.

I liked that LD kid Beaudin. Would have traded up to get him but went too much early.


We'll see today how it goes.

Next year watch this kid
https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/335712/raphael-lavoie

mock drafts have him at #15-17...I think he'll go higher.

Here's the thing though. This type of thought process lends itself to believe that it is a rebuild. And if it is, then just go out and trade Pacioretty and Price. These guys will start to be past their prime by the time Poehling (who is awesome), and this kid are ready.

It just doesn't make any sense to me. This roster is still one that lmis closer to the #1 pick than the playoffs.

I'm done, bye.

 

[KB824]

I'm out food shopping but I just saw who they drafted.

He's drafting like he wants to be fired

 

[Mark]

Olofsson a Hab. Good pick.

 

[KB824]

And then proceed to draft 2 stiffs in the 3rd.

 

[Mark]

You sound like a typical hfboards poster. lol

- - - Updated - - -

Tavares to speak to 5 clubs...



but wants to win.

 

[MikeM]

The club will turn around just by luck at this point. Look at all these picks, some will pan out. Prospects are just a numbers game. Keep them out of MTL night life until they're 24 and you're fine.

It certainly won't be by the draft. If you take a look at how many players they have drafted that are regulars since the 2008 draft, it is pathetic. Only 6 players have amassed 100 games played, and of those 6, only 3 are on the current roster.

That is bad draft management and development, no matter how you look at it.

 

[Mark]

Patches to SJ?

- - - Updated - - -

or not


- - - Updated - - -

the trade was for a 7th rounder. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Max]

So I’ve skimmed the last few pages of Hab discontent. That Domi - Galchenyuk trade, though...

I hope the Habs turn it around.

Max!

 

[radekas]

Man, I haven't been excited about Red Wings future for quite some time but that potential top 6 is just

Mantha - Larkin - Zadina
Berggren - Velano - Rasmussen

 

[KB824]

Apparently, Montreal is not even on the lists for Tavares.


Awesome.

- - - Updated - - -

And there is no one else at the position that is worth any kind of real money. Unless they want to pay Stastny #1 Center money for someone who certainly does not put up points like one.

 

[Mark]

at least we saved more money by not booking a flight to L.A.

 

[KB824]

Tavares is so going to Boston..............................

Tavares is so going to Boston..............................

That would be devastating.

I think he ends up in Dallas. Just a hunch. I’m not really sure why the Leafs are after him. If they ditch Wee Willy for 8 year Tavares contract, many will be disappointed.

Oh, it's going to Happen. The only team that I can see competing with them are the Lightning, but I have no idea how they are going to fit him under the cap.

Could you imagine a lineup that has Tavares, Bergeron, and Krecj as your top 3 centremen?

Krecj would be on the first line in Montreal. That is how fucking pathetic the situation is right now.

 

[Mark]

We'll probably overpay for Stastny. That's if he even wants to come here.
We can basically welcome Jack Johnson too...or De haan.
and we loves them 4th liners so Roussel is definitely coming here.
love them 6/7th D's so Ouellet pack your bags...
Duclair didn't get an offer from Chicago so...

top 10 in next draft seem better than this year's.

- - - Updated - - -

so apparently Patch was traded to L.A but he didn't agree to the extension and fired his agent...

they say the deal included Muzzin, a 2nd and Dolan.

 

[KB824]

Jack Johnson.


Or course. Another shitty defenseman to be signed to a long term contract. Why not. Why don't they just take on a bad contract or two and acquire 1st round picks from teams that actually have a chance to sign free agents.

 

[KB824]

John Tavares met with the Bruins today.

Oh Boy.
