I saw a notice from HB saying "performing some upgrades", if only... tabarnak.

so much talk about the draft, and now that it's happened the site is down, pretty ironic lol

This stupid site cannot handle the slightest increase in traffic. Which is odd, since Ek once called it the most visited hockey website

ostie de bouffon. not you, that EK guy

I was actually on the Slaf train this whole time despite what anyone says!!

was there a fine print at the bottom saying "most visited among hockey-related websites that have the word buzz included in their name"..?

Nothing to do now but buy into the hype and hope this guy does become Rantanen 2.0

While we are confessing our deepest darkest secrets, i must say, i've always been a HUGE romanov fan

but apparently there were some boos too?

I find that's pretty (frank)ing dumb... oh well.

You are in Montreal... This is normal...

For the Romanov trade, this has to be linked to his salary expectations... Habs are squeezed by the cap and I think they were not ready to give him something like a 6 years at $4M or a 5 at $4.5M.

We also have a lot of depth on the left side...

Just time will tell how this will play out...

well, I can honestly say I was. I didn't care who they'd pick, but said it all along. pretty difficult to pass on a 6'4 talented player.
especially with the trade to get Dach, that bcame a nobrainer.

and there you go, Lekkerimäki at #15. that's more like it.

It does give us both the centre and the winger in the end.

We traded a position we are deep from (LHD) for a position of need need (centre)

I get what you're saying but I wouldn't call booing an 18-year-old kid who just got drafted "normal", if they didn't draft the guy you want you can just shut the (frank) up, there's no need for that.

About time.

How much more will Kemell drop?

Dallas is picking soon... Maybe something is coming...

*waits for gramps' comment about how Dach sucks*

I wanted Wright but im fine with Slaf now that the centre need has been addressed. I just hope his wrist is all better though. bergevin told us for years trading for a center was near impossible, Hughes did it in months….impressive

Now where's our #1 RD uh? We missed out on Nemec!

*waits for gramps' comment about how Dach sucks*
- Pat1993

Well for what it's worth, he's been injured often and has not had a star studded start to his NHL career.

He's also still very talented, only 21 years old and makes us better and bigger at centre.

I don't hate the idea, I actually love it, but losing Romanov sucks.

Sounded more like shock than booing to me.

But, obviously, not there and watching on a phone.

Can't draft everybody Jugger.

To be completely fair, Hughes traded for a 25 points center, Bergevin got Danault. The Dach story ain't over, but it's not impossible Bergevin got the better center.
