Assuming we don't finish last and Detroit does, what do the Habs need to offer DET for their first?

All about that lottery, man.

Doubt any team trades Lafrenière TBH, you just have to be lucky and win the lottery.

oh and not pat either

A way to reincarnate Illich?

Which still guarantees nothing...

they have to win the lottery, no team will trade the 1st overall

Gagnon is saying Bergevin should spend all his time coming up with different strategies to land Lafrenière.

Hope we aren't stuck drafting Quentin DansLeChamp.

He's been sitting on it for so long it must be really numb by now.
- BashCH

He'll be busy giving himself "The Stranger" with that numb hand and will forget to fire MB!

Did you think we could have seen it this year?

Not from the kids, too early for that kind of impact

They had a shot at sneaking in to the playoffs if Price stood on his head and they remained relatively healthy... needless to say, that did not happen

Kovalenko was a horrible, horrible player and his helmet always looked to big for him - kind of like Sacha.
- hscesq

The only issue for me, appears to be that they are all looking to defer to him, instead of shooting the puck.

And by the way, this team sucks regardless, but between the unsportsmanlike BS call to Tatar, the FO violation penalty, and getting in the way of the puck in the last minute in a spot refs shouldn't be, last night was pathetic. Every night, in every game, the officiating is beyond horrific. It's something that the league really must look into.

It’s been pretty bad lately I agree

which means lose games to increase your chances at the lottery, no?

Right, so it's not happening.

And who has had 8 years to assemble this roster you didn't think had much shot outside of Price (a player drafted previously but grossly overpaid by this regime) having another all time season?

so I ran the Tankathon this morning, just for fun.
1st try, Habs win and draft Lafreniere
they currently have a 20% chance of picking top 3. 40% to pick 8th.

Habs won it on my 2nd try!!

Do you really think they'll lose more games than Detroit, NJ?

Habs won it on my 2nd try!!
- Snots33_77

so as long as the NHL runs the lottery multiple times until the habs get the 1st overall pick, we'll be fine

Problem is Bill Daly doesn’t spin it until the habs get the first pick

Hope we aren't stuck drafting Quentin DansLeChamp.

Wouldn't be the end of the world...

I'd say

Lafreniere, Byfield or Drysdale would be fantastic

Wouldn't be the end of the world...

Except if you’re a Koala



To soon?

they don't have to finish last, that won't happen. they just have to improve their odds. DET only has 18.5% chance of picking 1st

Anywhere in the top 5 and it changes the whole outlook
