So let's see Daigle drafted in 1993 Stefan 1999
And in that period there have been 90 top 5 picks so the other 88 top 5 picks say hi.

2 out of 90 flops....I'll take my chances

Turris, Pouliot, Brassard (I think) and many others disagree.

Edit: meh, Brassard was number 6.

Standings after tonight if the Habs lose in regulation

Buff 43pts 44GP
MTL 40pts 44GP

Basic hockey fan math. Deal with it.

You still think Jonas Gustavsson is an allstar?

OK so why don't we just trade our 1st for an established player?

Plek + our next 2 1sts for Getzlaf

He is getting his Reimer jersey patched over as we speak.

my fear is that price is the only legit goalie with the 4 teams at the bottom there. Could cost us a few draft positions, other than ward in car, but they are terrible

Anaheim won't take that, you hear how many top 5 players are busts? Ducks be crazy to pull off that deal!

How the hell Gomaise managed to get all these PP minutes... Damn ! Randy, I know you don't speak french, but TABARNAK ! Chu tanné en criss.

I think this the only time I would prefer Plekanec at the point : 2nd PP unit Moen-Eller-Kostitsyn-Weber-Plekanec.

That was my point, our 1st + ??? for Huberdeau

and Getzlaf becomes UFA in 2013 and walk away

His buddy at his work gave him a great deal!

What if he becomes a bust?

They should fired Timmins or hired somebody to help him out and keep their picks. Getzlaf is not worth that much at this point in his career.

How many #1s do they need to draft to win? What year will it happen in? 2017?Look at EDM, Eberle, Hall, MPS, RNH yadda yadda...will they win one before all those contracts get overbearing? Chi did it and Pitt did it. Its gonna be what its gonna be...hoping for them to 'tank' is unseemly.

Hoping for them to get some decent management in there that understand cap issues and 'todays' NHL is a different subject. Fan support in MTL needs to stop focusing on the players and focus more on mgmt decisions. That includes that ridiculous Kaberle contract in the shoot out.

This anyway.

edm wont be in cap issues for a while. By the time the kids need a contract, horcoff and smyth won't be there and thats close to 11 million i think.

getzlaf is only 26
- cburgess

He looks like he is 46 he got some kinda infliction that makes him age in dog years?

and Getzlaf becomes UFA in 2013 and walk away
- Symba007

I suspect he never allows himself to walk in, let alone, walk away.

Already a bust at 26?
