He has improved each year and I would hope that he may find his way to the 2nd line at some point in the next 3-4 years. A mix of being a really slim 18-20 year old probably hurt in the AHL as well as the fact that the Ice Caps aren't exactly the best team or an offensive powerhouse.

Verdict still out; he's certainly not future star but he can certainly be a serviceable 60+ point player in the future.

I think if scherbak became a 20 g 20 a guy we should be happy.

I think if you draft a guy 3rd overall and you trade him away 4 years later you're (frank)ed in the head.

I get it when it's a bust situation like Yakupov where you just cut your losses and Galchenyuk isn't Crosby but he's still a pretty potent offensive player.

play him at (frank)in center and live with the fact that he doesn't know how to backcheck.

Depends what the return is but I agree mostly with what you're saying.

Pacioretty had to basically take his development into his own hands because they were (frank)ing him up so badly.

Indeed, then Guy Boucher arrived and he was paired with Desharnais in Hamilton.

Depends. Seth Jones (4th overall) for Johansen was worth it.
But there is no Johansen on the market right now.
The more I think about it, Galchenyuk will be our #1 centre this season.

I don't see a trade that could land the Habs a better player except if MB really pulls a miracle out of his ass.

Could trade with Vegas to get a good 2nd pairing left shot Dman (which they should have)

I wouldn't surprise me at all but if true, good news. I hope they add some therapy time to let him understand that he CAN date a girl that is not a (frank)ing stripper.

That would be foolish.

Also, MB shoulda protected Beaulieu and exposed Shaw.

No way Vegas takes that meathead.

I remember an interview with MariePier Morin, him and Gallagher, she asked him "So, will you try to find a nice girl in Montreal to settle down?" and he answered : "No, not now, now I want to have fun"

Like I said.

And if Vegas takes Shaw, that frees up what 4m?
