(frank)ing lazy bunch

This is bang on.

Drafting, since 2008, has been a complete mess for the Habs.

Shane Churla is the head of scouting now. Believe since 2011.

Timmins is some kind of VP of Player Personnel some kind of title.

They should just follow Bob Mckenzie's list, fire all their scouts and lower ticket and beer prices at the Bell Center. They'd probably draft better players and fans would be happier.

EDIT : Or name QP head scout...at least the ones who want more French players would be happy.

I remember seeing an article where it was the IIHF draft list vs Leafs picks and you could see how much better the Leafs would be if they only picked the highest ranked player every time.

Good times.

In the end, out of all these, McCarron might make a bottom 6 player and Lekhonen is a very good addition.

Might be our best draft in the last 5 years. ...

I remember Timmins saying he didn't sleep much the Friday night because the Habs were drafting early 2nd round and he was crossing his fingers Collberg would still be there.

Adam French had him rated 16th overall

Don’t let those numbers scare you away, Collberg found himself stapled to the bench for 90% of the game in a league he just wasn’t ready to play a big part in. His play internationally has opened more eyes as has his impressive play in the SuperElit. On the world stage he is a superstar and the 5’11 speedster barged his way onto the scene with a monster WJC. With all the hype and attention on Forsberg it was Collberg who was a leader and tallied 4 goals and 7 points in 6 games despite little PP time. Collberg’s game is very simple, he beats you to the outside with his elite speed and lasers one home (Much like Phil Kessel). He needs to add on a lot of strength and will be at least two or three years from really contributing, yet the raw talent is there and in a draft filled with “grinders and third liners” in the top-15 forwards Collberg offers an enticing package. At the U18 Collberg was at it again and led Sweden in points with 9 and second in goals with 4. International play is never the be all end all for players, but it shows what he is capable of doing with teammates of similar talent. NHL shot, amazing hands, elite speed and a shifty player, Washington needs top-6 forwards.
