How many years does it usually take for drafted players to start playing in the NHL...you have to also look at that. - stinger67
How many years does it take?
And who's ready or will be ready for the top 6 needs? |

Bergeving said yesterday that his drafting was starting to show. His example was Galchenyuk.
Now we all remember that Chucky was drafted because of the previous regime's suckiness. - WaterBoy
Not to mention that Galchenyuk was a #3 and I am pretty sure the Habs don't plan on drafting number 3 again after this season. |

3-4 years for a decent/good player, longer for some. Top 6....what's that? |

expect NO major move from MB, he might deal a Eller, Emelin or DD...that's about it. |

i think he would love move Subban and if he got an offer that he could justify, he would do it. |

Galchenyuk was a no-brainer draft choice. This is who he's drafted in the 4 years he's been GM:
Noah Juulsen
Lukas Vejdemo
Matthew Bradley
Simon Bourque
Jeremiah Addison
Nikita Scherbak
Brett Lernout
Nikolas Koberstein
Daniel Audette
Hayden Hawkey
Jake Evans
Michael McCarron
Jacob de la Rose
Zachary Fucale
Artturi Lehkonen
Connor Crisp
Sven Andrighetto
Martin Reway
Jeremy Gregoire
Alex Galchenyuk
Sebastian Collberg
Dalton Thrower
Tim Bozon
Brady Vail
Charles Hudon
Erik Nystrom
Outside of Galchenyuk, only a handful have played any games in the NHL (or are on the cusp), and calling them "significant" would be a leap by any stretch of the imagination. |

Said he was available at the deadline, nobody wanted him then.
His extension kicks in, can't see anyone wanting him now. |

Re-Post because of new blog, but would love to hear your thoughts, Andrew. Hope all is well with you and your family. Priorities, friend. We all got 'em.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hate to say this, but MB is in a no-win situation.
Let's say he makes a major trade: That'll cost us a young, big-name player on our team. (Galchenyuk, Subban, Pacioretty, Price, Gallager, Beaulieu). We'll (Fans) scream blue murder unless an equally big-name player comes back....and even then, if the cap-hit is greater, we'll scream louder.
It'll also likely cost us picks and/or prospects if we want something better than the above mentioned players. We don't have many prospects that teams are falling over themselves for (Because our picks lately have all come in the 20-30 range in the first round. The past 10 years: 6 picks between 20-30, 3 picks between 10-20, 2 picks under 10. 2007 was the only year with more than one first round pick...yet we yell at the Ice Caps coach for under-performing...yikes.) And if we start trading away our picks of value, we become the Leafs: a Team constantly trying to apply a bandaid to an artery rupture, hoping a trade will miraculously fix what ails us.
And look, we all hate the coach...his decisions nauseate us, leave us screaming in frustration. But in general, he's winning games. In fact, this is the ONLY YEAR he's coached this team where his average is below .600. Even this year, where our team sucked harder than a crack whore whose welfare money wore out, he still managed a .500 average. He makes us pull our hair out, and yet...
So, as much as it pains us to hear it, right now, riding the wave, no matter how nauseous it makes us, might be the intelligent choice. It took the Leafs YEARS before they figured that restocking the cupboard might be the best bet, instead of ordering out all the time because there's nothing to eat.
I'm not saying it's all puppies and rainbows, but maybe we should wait until after the draft before firing everyone, trading everyone else, and lighting the Bell Centre ablaze, using 2-4 Molson boxes as kindling...
....maybe. Time will tell. - Darksyde
You know who else is in a no-win situation?

Despite the Leafs having the best odds, I think we all know that the Habs, Oilers, Sens and Canucks all have a better chance at #1 than the Leafs.
