There's no need for promise right now Brando, there's need for a good draft pick..

Yes, but we still need a promising draft pick...

Signs of promise from the young players looking to earn spots moving forward is always welcomed... That and some dude named John!

While getting Tavares would be a huge boon for any team, I see him staying in Long Island.

MTL, as Pete pointed out, really needs to draft well and get a good 1st rounder this year. Bastards couldnt win when it was needed and now dont want to lose when tanking is beneficial.

Yeah I saw that

I consider Gatineau to be my "middle of bum (frank) nowhere", at least for the music scene, which is still a huge work in progress (Ottawa is pretty poopty for that too). But I've started jamming with a friend who plays the banjo, good times

Yikes!

You have continued to rave about MTL's brass and their ability to scout and draft great talent. Here is a link to look at MTL's draft record. You tell me how great they are. Many misses in the first 2 rounds which the occasional good late pick does not make up for.

Yes Pete, my friend is a poor 12 year old kid who dresses like it's 1834.

Why not?

They're trying to acquire the young Seravat instead, a prospect that very few people know about.

Last year they had 2nd rd picks for the first time in 3 drafts and did well with Brook and Ikonen at 56-58.

Last 4 1st rd picks are Poehling (25), Sergachev (9), Juulsen (26), and Scherbak (26).

2nd rdrs the last time they drafted (2013) were DLR, Fucale (meh), and Lehkonen.

From 2013 on, outside of the first 2 rounds they had Mete, Bitten, Primeau, Fleury, Reway, Evans, Addison.

Not sure why you think thats not good? Many of these guys have(or had) pretty good potential. Sure there are some bad picks but we could look at almost every team and say that too.

Absolutely! And I’m just lazy enough to say (frank) it to retyping or copy/paste! Lol

not arguing, just seems that since 2013 they draft 2-4 future NHL players and that seems pretty good to me? Opinions different than mine are fine by me.... except that guy the other day telling me Tatar was worth a 1,2,3.... he is wrong!

Well I’ve been in the middle of northwestern Ontario where the men are men and so are half of the women! Where the men are men and the sheep are scared!! So moving to the US will be much better for music!

And funny you should mention the banjo, just jammed with a guy on he banjo except he (frank)ing sucks and has 9 fingers.....so the banjo rolls even sound handicapped!!

Disclaimer: He is neither 12 nor dresses like he’s an extra on Little House on the Prairie.

The inability to acquire a top line C, through draft, trade or FA is the downfall... They have drafted fine in the Bergevin years, minus the Mccarron pick!

...and yes, the Tatar move was a bonehead trade indeed, no question!
