I'm curious how the league was helping MTL?

Youre being dramatic.....his preference is Montreal, he made that clear, but he also said that he'd be happy to play in Vancouver...

Thank you.

Somewhat invalid argument as when MTL was winning their cups they were getting a lot of help from the league and/or the league was tiny
- NorthNuck

in the era after the draft was introduced, they have won twice. the dynasty of the 70s was still a product of them buying the french players like lafleur, cournoyer, savard etc.

I think Zadina said he would rather play in Mtl than Vancouver yesterday for all the ones hoping he falls to 7
- VANTEL

Was taken out of context by our desperate local radio hosts. He obviously wants to be drafted as high as possible and closer to his junior team. I’m sure every prospect prefers a specific team.


Boeser probably preferred Minnesota

He will never fall to 7 anyways

Who cares. The odds of him dropping to 7 is next to impossible and even so, if he does would that not constitute a huge red flag?

i took it as he realizes he isnt going ahead of dalin and svech but would rather be 3OA rather than 7th

It would be a huge red flag about the 4 GM's that passed on him...

Thank you.

Just for the record, Zadina was not “misquoted” at all today. Did he mean to say something else? Maybe. But it was a scrum. It was heard by all. Anything else is “misquoting

Saying he’d rather play in Montreal. Never said he wouldn’t play in Vancouver.

Territorial rights to amateur players ( prospects ) in the early days. When Canada was the dominating hockey power in the world in the 6 team league , most of the best hockey players came from Quebec

They won eight Cups in the 70's 80's and 90's. Give them credit for that.

False...

The draft was alive and well all throughout the 70's. They made some great trades with some dumb GM's. They robbed the Seals for their 1971 first round pick to select Guy Lafleur

Never would've guessed we'd be discussing the canadiens 1970s cup wins first thing in the morning on draft day

Passing the time until the first trade, it's a little early for porn
