Good point, Pat is on the fawking ball today boys!

I don't mind either way.

Target the right prospect or draft the right guy.... as long as you get a good player.
- Scabeh

Seems like way too much to ask for

A 20-21 year old D is much closer to the NHL than an 18 year old one, right?
- obie

Sure.

But a good 20-21 year old D is probably harder to get too.

A D prospect drafted in the 2nd round, too much to ask for? I dunno...

Their top 3 scorers came from trades? (Although Perron was originally drafter by them)
- GannicusAD

Well that settles it.

OUR 3 best scorers came from trades!

Tatar
Danault
Domi

Sure.

But a good 20-21 year old D is probably harder to get too.

Perhaps... I'd be ok with adding one of Chicago's picks to sweeten the deal, or Winnipeg's or Anaheim's... that's where all those picks could come in handy

The comment I replied to was "Target the right prospect or draft the right guy.... as long as you get a good player."

Mostly sarcasm towards current Habs management and their abilities

You need to surround your kids with good vets, and let them grow their game. You don't need X numbers of top 5 or top 10 picks. Montreal has been mightily struggling in that department, so yeah would be wise to look at the successful team and just reproduce the same damn formula. Now, if someone is willing to grossly overpay for Petry or Tatar...but Domi is still the guy to go IMO.
- Habsody

I guess he is expendable if they keep Tatar...they'd have him and Drouin on the LW, maybe Kovalchuk if they keep him. At centre, they have Danault and Suzuki as top 2 centres...with KK and Poehling too.

Sorry, I'm not as sharp as Pat is

You recognized that 20-31 is a better pick than anything 63-93 so you're ahead of the game apparently

Byron, Lehkonen, Cousins on LW as well...how many (frank)ing left wingers does a team really need ?

Ryan Poehling and Victor Mete not at practice because of the virus. Jordan Weal is on the ice. Jonathan Drouin is skating on the 4th line @CanadiensMTL

you guys get a load of this gannicus guy?!

I think GiacanusAD was misunderstood...

I dunno man, those 3rd round gems are pretty tempting

They just need dmen and a game changer (Caufield has the potential to).

no, I think he keeps his load just for you

And you load up on D prospects by trading Petry and Tatar now + Weber, Chiarot and Byron later... that simple

please. don't say load.

He said load up...sounds more like forced abstinence

EDIT: He did say load up...on D

Glad my actual name amuses people :-)

Depends.

Tampas 1st? That's likely a 25th-30th pick.

More chances at landing a gem in the 3rd round than late first IMO.

David Pasternak is the only great late 1st round pick of the last 10 years I think

Thats a very stupid post, even around here ! lol
