I'm listening to it right now ... UNBELIEVABLE!

No wonder we can't develop our young players.

Too many former defensemen in management.

CLEAN HOUSE ASAP ...

They need to make sure their real prospects get tons of ice time in the AHL. I don't mind seeing a guy like Chris Terry being on the ice most of the time, as long as he is playing with two young guys. The problem with the Habs is that they don't even have that. Their young players that have been coming in the last few years are all guys that are identified as shutdown, checking players.
The lone exception is Scherbak.

They need to stop throwing away their 2nd round picks.

From 2013:

Adding some size to the system in 6-foot-5 winger Michael McCarron, Timmins and Habs GM Marc Bergevin opted to up the team’s sandpaper quotient with their 25th overall selection. An NHL power forward-in-the-making, the United States National Team Development Program standout is already drawing comparisons to another hulking winger Habs fans are all-too-familiar with.

We shouldn’t compare players, but he’s in that Milan Lucic mold,” described Timmins of the similarities between his first rounder and the Bruins bruiser. “I would also compare him to Jarred Tinordi. He’s a big man who can really skate, he has tons of character and he’ll only get better.”

What else is there to say about this guy's competence or lack of?

I'm talking about UFAs and PTOs. They're often going like ''Hey guys look we just signed Antoine Waked!'' and it's enough for them, then they just don't win or develop players.

I still would have liked for them to sign Gourde and Marchessault

Lefebvre apparently told him he was too focused on winning and not enough about player development.
- stinger67

I still can't get over this ... I guess Lefebvre believes in giving participation ribbons to his players like they do in Pee-Wee.

"Nice try buddy ... winning isn't everything. The important thing is to participate and have fun." - Sylvain Lefebvre

We might as well laugh about it at this point ... otherwise, it's too depressing to think about the lost time.

And that same guy is still in charge of our next draft ... I'm bracing for the worse once again.

As Lebeau said, we won't be competitive for the next 5 to 10 years if management doesn't change philosophy right now.

Lefebvre is probably did what was asked of him by Bergevin.

Anyway, like you said, very depressing.
