Description
OBVIOUSLY: our center depth and prospect pool would be affected differently. and its not 100% that we take debrincat and girard. but just watch the interview with trevor timmins after the draft. it only makes sense they wanted girard. debrincat was projected much higher, and the canadiens really put emphasis on speed in that draft.

galchenyuk and pacioretty trades both are subjected to have not happened. but i didnt want to start adding/trading players for fun. those trades look decent right now, they just came at the aftermath of the mess bergevin made. He faileed at the 2016 draft and he couldve had an insane Haul. much like mcdonagh/pacioretty/subban .. pperhaps not to the exact degree. but sergachev/debrincat/girard/mete in that draft haul is insane. let alone radulov signing the next year. shaw is a good complementary player on a team thats perfectly put togethenr not one thats building

      That blueline looks pretty good. Too bad Bergy is a bumbling buffoon.

      Doubt u would’ve landed JK in 2018 had they kept subban. I think the Habs best choice would’ve been to do a complete overhaul like the leafs. This core was not good enough to compete for a cup. Should’ve traded price and subban for futures, could’ve landed mcdavid or Matthews in 15,16 draft, and contend for years to come in the future

      it's really crap to to even think the habs would have drafted DeBrincat and Girard without the Shaw trade. Habs would have the two picks, but don't know who they would have selected.
