Radulov was a good add on but the top 6 still needed a top 6 winger back in october...

They also need a bigger top 12

It did... But this team should be good enough to win more than 2 games in the last 12, both in extra time no less...The top 6 winger could of been added at the deadline to compliment the current roster but now it seems rather pointless

2 years in a row they stop playing after half a season. Tells a lot about the group of players they have.

They've needed that for quite some time now.

Maybe but no one could have predicted that the team would get nothing out of Galchenyuk and Gallagher from December on.

So it's Emelin's fault that Weber is slow and doesn't generate offense.

Galchenyuk was the best player yesterday he's on the way back

This is the big concern. Last night they looked like a team playing out the string in a lost season. It's strange.

He looks finished.

Galchenyuk just looks lost.

Not even close, but Byron and Gallagher were of no help. Things looked a little better when they put Lehkonen there.

Their lack of intensity last night was beyond bizarre considering the circumstances of their playoff lives and the significance of the game for the coach. They were completely disinterested in competing last night.

Not sure Gallagher's hand is 100%, looks like he can't take a shot on net.

Still puts himself in front of the net and Weber's shots though. Have to give props for not being scared.

No but it sure as (frank) doesn't help to have a 1st pair as slow as they are.

Lehkonen is playing well, he just needs to gain some experience to learn to finish more.

Gallagher was barely a top 6 forward with 2 good hands and he put himself there on will and determination but you can't have your hand completely destroyed twice with no lasting effects... Gallagher is barely a 3rd line player now

He looked slow, lost a ton of puck battles.

Gabriel Vilardi in the 5-8 slot would be nice.... Unfortunately

2017 is the worst draft since 2012.

He's no midget, big right handed C currently playing with Sergachev in Windsor, lots of offensive pop

Maxime Comtois I think is the only very promising prospect from the Q. at 6'2 200 lbs for an 18 year old he looks pretty big as well.

oh, good.

Let's hope Bergevin doesn't waste a 1st round pick on a rental then.

I think he's ranked 3rd... The Habs shouldn't draft out of the Q anyway, never works out for them...
