Poke fun at the Habs all you want. There is nothing against that.
Don't poke fun at the language and ethnicity of some of the fans, and don't call them idiots. That's all I am asking.

Was more of a poke at the hiring process and the discrimination involved.

But I get your point

No problem to have an opinion on that - I know I do. Just don't make it personal.

I agree, I hope this whole french thing will be the downfall of the Habs.

Can I call the organization idiots for being bigots?

Forsberg or Grigz. Sad how every year in the draft the Leafs never get who they want. Ex: Tavares, B.Schenn. Burke always talks a lot, but he never moves up Gally is the perfect fit.

No. But you can state your opinion that you believe they are bigots for hiring only French people. However, the facts don't back that up.

if NJ forfeits their pick, what happens to the 29th selection?

They aren't giving it up. There was a deadline that passed and they opted to keep the pick.

- Jackets Attack

As soon as I saw Murray at #1 I stopped reading. Who the hell drafts for need with the 1st overall? If Tambellini doesn't take the BPA he's getting fired.

How bizarre is it that they didn't opt out this year considering they have 29th overall... and apparently the pool is pretty thin this year compared to next. There must be a guy they really really want in the late 1st/early 2nd range.

There is a very good chance they could be picking 20th next year... and will have to opt out of it.

I realize you can't really include trade downs in a mock draft, but there's no way that Reinhart is going to the Isles at #4. Not when we could trade down a few spots and get him + picks.

yaks gets picked 1st overall by the oilers. Hes the best in this draft and there is no way you pass up on that talent. the BJ's need to stop shopping nash because they are not going to get what they want for him. Draft galchenyuk and let nash play with a good center. Nash has never had a good supporting cast in columbus and with this year and next years draft pick they will be in a better position than trading nash for prospects that are still question marks and 1st round draft picks that will be mid to late according to the teams in on nash.

Couldn't agree with you more, yet I think it would get seriously ugly if Nash does not get traded. Wish he would stay, but his mind is made up and I think you'll see a trade before the draft and probably soon. Howson and Resnick are meeting this afternoon, my guess, Howson is showing him the trade offers they like right now....

I think oilers will move down in the draft. Can't remember a time when a GM has said we need a better offer then we have had, as much as tamby. Most gms will say we r keeping the pick.

And snow has shown in the past he will do just that. However I feel NY I take Dumba, would love if the canucks could move into the top 10 and take him.
