Robinson spent 17 seasons with the Habs, I wouldn't include him on that list... I'd also leave out PK but otherwise, I agree

Desjardins and Schneider to lesser extents too

Ya, I forgot about those 2.

The Big Bird shoulda retired a hab, Savard (again) wouldn't match LA's offer..

True... even though they got all his prime years and beyond, not retiring a Hab was a mistake... what a beauty he was too

They chose Wickenheiser in that draft over him I think.
- pete26


yeah, Wickenheiser's story is a sad one (knee injury because he was hit by a car, just as he was hitting a stride in the NHL, and died at 37 of a rare form of cancer).

Winnipeg picked Dave Babych 2nd, then Chicago picked Denis Savard 3rd

I like to talk about Drouin today, we are wasting to much cap on a player that is lazy and has hit and miss compete level. Bergeron has to admit to himself that the trade Was a mistake and salvage what he can by moving Drouin now.

Drouin would be put on waiver and would not get claimed right now with his performance and cap hit/terms

Remember that trade?

That was a stinker, ironically it was Serge who did it..

- pete26


It was a terrible trade. Even Serge admits it now.

But since we won the cup in 93, with Denis on the bench, I guess all is forgiven.

the guy played for many years afterward, won 2 norris, Savard didn't play much in the playoffs and retired right after the cup, what a horrible trade
- Symba007


Savard did play for another 4 season, split between the Lightning and back to Chicago, but he wasn't the same player anymore.

I don't think it's gone that far.

But let's all be honest, if the Habs keep Drouin only to watch Tatar walk this summer, it's not a good evaluation of what both player bring to the table.

But it's unlikely that D is available at TDL, so like Chicken man said, you can only choose from what's available, and an upgrade on Mete is a good start in my book
- obie

there are probably 120 LD that are an upgrade over the current LDs on this team.
