Thrower was not Qualified either....
That was a sweet first round pick.

2nd round pick (51st overall - 2012) ... but yeah, another wasted pick.

But who's counting at this point ...

My bad... you're right... was thinking of another wasted first rounder... Tinordi.

Of course we can add a bunch of names to that list it seems.

Let's try to do a list of the worst picks by the Habs in recent memory.
I'll start:

-Louis LeBlanc

I'd rather not, it's just too depressing.

The fact that Timmins and Lefebvre still have a job just makes me mad ... I guess they don't care, as long as the fans suckers fill the stands at exhorbitant prices then everything is ok.

Probably the worst pick in he first round the Habs have done... nothing to do with french or english.
Hell... most of the Yanks that were taken have been busts too.

Not much, just venting on the interweb ... keeps me from clawing people around me.

Speaking of possible busts...
What are the odds Scherbak gets any time with the big club this year?

from what I've seen, no chance.
he'll need another year to prove he's progessing, to dominate at the AHL level.

he floats around most of the time

Put Gally's heart with his talent and you would have a great top 6 player. Instead you have someone who will play in the KHL in a couple years

Just for kicks, I was just looking at our draft picks in the last 10 years ... I shouldn't have.

Last time I do something stupid like that ... time to kick the dog.

Mathias Brunet came out with this beauty earlier today:

On parle souvent des Québécois que le CH a “raté” au fil des années. L’inverse est aussi vrai. Le Canadien a loupé d’excellents joueurs en choisissant des Québécois avant. En 2009, comme la plupart s’en souviennent, Louis Leblanc constituait le choix populaire. Le Centre Molson aurait hurlé de colère si le CH avait osé choisir Chris Kreider, Marcus Johansson, Ryan O’Reilly, Jakob Silfverbeg ou Dmitri Orlov, toujours disponibles.

En 2011, vous prenez à nouveau Olivier Archambault en quatrième ronde ou… Andrew Shaw? Mathieu Carle en deuxième ronde en 2006 ou Brad Marchand? Et en 2004? Le gardien Loic Lacasse ou le gardien Pekka Rinne?



to which a poster responded with the following:


On va répondre au journaliste propagandiste avec ses propres arguments:

En 2013, vous auriez repêché Jacob de La Rose (7 points, 64 matchs) ou Anthony Duclair (66 points, 157 matchs)?

En 2012, vous auriez repêché Sebastian Collberg et Dalton Thrower (0 point, 0 match) ou Cédric Paquette (41 points, 180 matchs)?

En 2009, vous auriez repêché Joonas Nattinen et Mac Bennett (0 point, 1 match) ou David Savard (109 points, 326 matchs)?

En 2008, vous auriez repêché Danny Kristo, Steve Quailer, Jason Missiaen et Maxim Trunev (0 point, 0 matchs) ou Jason Demers (171 points, 504 matchs)?

En 2006, vous auriez repêché David Fischer (0 point, 0 match) ou Claude Giroux (575 points, 656 matchs)?

En 2006, vous auriez repêché Pavel Valentenko (0 point, 0 match) ou Mathieu Perreault (240 points, 426 matchs)?

En 2003, vous auriez repêché Cory Urquhart (0 point, 0 match) ou Patrice Bergeron (671 points, 899 matchs, quatre trophées Selke)?

True.
Would love to see something finally click in his head and have him start to progress as a well rounded player too.

It's a troubling list...

good news is if you go back 20 years we had, like, 2 or 3 good picks!

EDIT:
Eeek... Don't look at 1999, 2000, 2008, and 2009!

When the Habs were a winning organization some 30 years ago, they would have found the head scout hanging from the rafters at the old Forum if his record looked anything like Timmins' & cie.

EDIT: This organization has lost it's way a long time ago ... the fact that we haven't had a #1 center in 20 years illustrates this fact perfectly.
