It won't and it isn't. Remember the pick last year which had everyone scurrying to find out who the hell it was?

I guess we're not trading ROR for two 2nds
- jcragcrumple

Could be traded for 2nds in 2021 and a 2022. Gotta think about the future, man.

Anyone that wants to throw away ROR for picks is a fkn idiot.

U.S. teammate Bode Wilde on Samuelsson: "They’re getting a guy who will complement Dahlin pretty well. I could just imagine those two playing together. Mattias will definitely lock it up defensively and shut down and allow a guy like Dahlin to have a bit of freedom."


Anyone still feel like crying?

I thought Mayday knocked out Ulf and this kid’s pop? Was looking at his fight card. Found this beauty. Best fight I ever saw live.

Probably didn’t pick him because he Disshonored Michigan

And Botterill doesn’t play that way

We should take a goalie with one of the 2 fourth round picks.

thx...how do you feel about the kotkaniemi pick?
- Michael Pachla

Late reply but...glad it showed Bergevin isn't looking for a quick fix. Good chance be won't be there to see Kotk in Mtl which tells me it likely was the right pick. Gotta bite the bullet at some point. Kotk and Poehling gives the Habs a solid C pipeline for the future

I’m not really a fan of going back - back D when we have zero depth on wings and need speed

But I understand the Reasoning behind it

If there were a D that you personally had rated higher than a W on the board, would you draft the W based on need?

i suspect JB has a deal or 2 in place to address wing/scoring and goaltender but is waiting until after July 1st. very little chance we'll be getting draft picks back, so no need to swing those deals now.

Love beefing up the D pool. Our D depth has sucked so bad.

Yes I would draft the forward Defenseman take longer to develop in my opinion when a forward could be ready on year 2 AHL or NHL


I can almost guarantee that there are probably more forward in the second round two years ago in the NHL then defenseman picked
