Its hard to say forsberg is better than galchenyuk when both have played less then 200 nhl games. Its easy to say years after the draft that x team screwed up and missed x player.

I'm not making a decision, just saying the rankings at the time were all over the place. ISS finished with Gally like 13th (idiotic) and Forsberg 2. 2012 was a fun one.

If I was GM Subban would of been gone to Edmonton for Hall this summer. There would have been other piece involved. I would have kept Gorges, traded prospects for Spezza, and traded 2nd rounder for Leddy. Then traded Plekanec
For a pick.

Forsberg Spezza Hall
Pacioretty DesharnAis Parenteau
Sekac Eller Galagher
Prust Malholtra Weiss

Leddy Gorges
Markov Emelin
Weaver Tinordi/Beaulieu

Now look at that team. Simple eh? And I would be working the phones to get yandle out of Phoenix as we speak

- QuickSCF

I'd like to know what we traded to get spezza. Apparently they didn't get any of our top prospects.

Don't even get me started on him. Subban wants 7.5 million dollars. So we all wait to see if Bergevin will give him that money. Then all of a sudden the contract is signed
But for 9 million? For that crap? Unreal. Subban is valuable for the PP but so was Mark Andrew Bergeron. What else does Subban do? Besides give the puck away

- QuickSCF



Meh, I was talking about how classy he is with fans.

It's 25 games in, he has 14 points and the Habs are tied for 1st overall

You have bigger worries than Subban IMO

Oh indeed. I'm not a Subban hater I'm a big fan. But I'm saying 9 million is way too much for him. I would have traded him
For Hall if Edmonton was willing

9 mil seems high right now, but by the end of that contract, it will be the going rate for a top pair d-man

I follow these prospects on daily bases and stream whatever games I can. I was heartbroken when we didn't take Forsberg. I'll give Timmons credit for some
picks. Carey Price probably the biggest pick in history considering he was ranked outside the top 10. I love replaying the video on YouTube where Pierre McGuire is shocked the Habs made this stupid pick with Brule
On the board hahaha idiot McGuire. I also think Sherbak was a steal. But there were some mind boggling picks too. I REALLy want a guy by the name Mikko Rantanen this year. They call him the Finnish Bull.

No, for real...which teams do you watch and cheer for? You hang in here so I would guess the Habs regardless what it says under your handle?

Been thinking...

You'd be 'HHH' because of the take charge attitude, I'd be 'Flair' because I'm old and an attention whore. Now to figure out the other two.
