1) KJ = Kent Johnson
2) Habs used to suck at development, but I disagree with the idea that they still do. If you disagree about Slaf, can you agree on the 12 other players they are currently developing?
Thanks for clarifying the KJ part haha
I'd stick by what I said about them still sucking at development, you rushed your most valueable asset for no good reason. They had 14 or 15 NHL contracts at forward last year and rushed Slaf anyway, he played better than them in pre season but, what did you expect from the worst team the season before?
I'm 100% convinced they'd have rushed Hudson and Reinbacher if both those guys didn't chose themselves to go back to their old teams and continue their development.
The Montreal Media and fan base is a massive hypebeast and unfortunately management don't stick to proper development
If you're saying Guhle, Harris, Xhekaj, Barron etc are properly developed by current management, we'll see by the end season if they had better years than last year or if they stayed the same, since most of their development came from the Jrs. and College.
Beck, Mesar, Tuch, Hudson, Reinbacher have yet to really be developped by the organization yet, but look good.
The Rocket look to be doing good things but, it's all wait and see after guys like Roy etc get called up.
The Norlinder turnaround from dead prospect to being promising again is a great sign but, this stupidity with Primeau negates it in my eyes, trade him, waive him or play him but, sitting him in the stands isn't what I'd call development for a goalie some still believe is promising (I think he needs a change of scenery)
