The need PK badly, but no one guy makes that big a difference.

None of the current habs Dmen do but PK does imo.

M'eh.

Mackinnon wasn't any better by being a baby and imposing where he wanted to play. I know he's not the only guy who did that, but I can't stand those moves.
Makes it pretty unfair to the smaller markets.

They at least don't have 2 out of 6 Dmen who duck out of the way of hits and their bruiser isn't 5'7.

It was about coaching not the small market

BTW Drouin said he wasn't coming here then showed up 1/2 way through the season

No, it's ridiculous. PK was there last year, was that a top tier D?

I said BOTTOM THIRD (which could mean 29th) and last year we didn't have Markov as 2nd D.

I said without PK our D is for sure the worst in the league. With him it's not.

But that wasn't because he didn't want to play in Halifax Scott. It was because he too wanted his brown envelope.

That's still unacceptable, you're right. But Halifax legitimately drafted him at #2. Unlike Québec who drafted Duclair in the 3rd round for example.

The coaching certainly wasn't the best in Baie-Comeau last year, but you know it wasn't the sole reason. I'm tired of kids bailing out on teams to fit their(parents and agents) needs.

I said they would be bottom third with him (anywhere from 20-29th) and dead last without him. Who the fak cares?
