Agreed. He's been very good.

But I disagree about your first paragraph.

Drouin is 9 years younger than Radulov. At worst we secured an equivalent producer for a much longer time. At best, we get a player who's potential has yet to be reached and could easily surpass radulov.

As I said, Radulov should have been kept, but even if they did, I would have made the Drouin trade anyway.

Sergachev 1 less point, 3 years younger...... gonna be a few years before we see if this was a good trade...

They let Radulov walk, then trade their top D prospect for Drouin in an attempt to add scoring...all they really did was replace one scoring forward, for a younger one at a huge cost. Smart.
- Steven_Seagull

Yep!..their scoring with rads and Markov. .and then having mete and the Russian kid!..wow 😨 two young stud dmen for years to come! 😢 and the cost of dmen these days..

When you have the chance to get the best young local forward in the NHL.

When you're having trouble scoring goals to boot?

You do it.

Despite Sergachev's potential (I really liked that pick), you gotta make that trade.

And Sergachev has been used around 10 min per night in Tampa.... if you watch him closely, his overall play is not yet there if you ask me.

He'll be good though, no doubt about it.

They had the money for both!..rads and Markov! Having those two..aspecialy on the powerplay! ..he's (bergy) an idiot!

especially if they didn't sign alzner!

lol @ bergy

The truth is that Drouin is a Francophony and that is the ONLY reason they made the deal. Habs lose the deal. Should have kept Radulov. Should have kept Halak. Should have kept Markov. Should have kept Therrien. It's all over. Tear it vers le bas!

It's just no fun when Habs and Canucks posters come in here and praise the Leafs and belittle their own teams.

I feel like I'm out of a job.

# harsh 😁😃. .ok enough about the Habs! 😬..let's talk about. .the.. canooks?😨

Wings defense is complete crap. Wings will probably get lit up tonight. Prediction is Leafs win 4-1. Let the rebuild happen... Oh wait... Holland is an idiot and we're hamstrung with horrible contracts. Rebuild will start in about 5 years.

4-1 is lit up?

The exception to the "French Only" rule is if you're a small and aging fourth liner willing to play as high as bottom 9.

For the Habs the second line = third line = fourth line.

So it's like one big second line!

See how spoiled we are now? We call 4 goals in a game "low scoring".

A team with 3 second lines? They can’t possible lose! EVER! That’s what you meant right?

The Devils are a young, fast, skilled team that will surprise many this year like the Leafs did last year. The Wings having more than 0 wins is baffling.

When is it appropriate to stop pretending to think Gord Downey was the greatest entity in the history of the universe?

If you exclude all of their losses from this season they have been perfect so I think your math checks out.

should have just paid radulov...and yeah, why not take a flyer on yak.

but no skin off my back. bergy can run that team for the rest of his life for all i care.

I honestly don't know which is more insufferable.

I just drove from Ottawa to Mississauga listening to random radio shows. I stumbled on Rush (frank)ing Limbaugh's station and even that blowhard was talking about his death. Tried to listen to sports radio and it was all about him, they didn't even talk about sports. Then went to a talk radio show and it's wall to wall him. I just didn't appreciate the sycophantic nature of it all.
