drafting was never the problem. development was. and i think with the addiditions of the 2 of the best coaches from junior hockey in bouchard and ducharme, whom have a great resume, we could be building something great here. also, ppl don't seem to know alexander romanov. he can be webers partner in 2-3 years. he's extremely skilled and a fantastic skater. he dropped low in rankings because he plays in the mhl in russia, where a lot of scouts don't get a prolonged look at.

This is the best thing any Habs fan has ever said. They always seem to be pointing fingers at specifics people/problems (players, coaches, GM) when the big issues is Development. It's one thing to have all the tools (talent wise), but it's another to be able to properly use the tools. The best thing they can do right now is keeping all these kids away from the NHL and slotting them in Junior/minors/ etc. where they can work on their skills and actually develop.

Yeah that's what I've been saying for a while and people think that it's Timmins' fault
