2019 Blues come to mind as a team that doesn’t have any obvious top picks, or else maybe the 1989 Flames


1989 Flames: Rob Ramage (1st overall pick)

2019 Blues: Jay Bouwmeester (3rd overall pick)

In general they just gave up more so than they usually do to a non contender

And do they seem to care nope as the next contender they face its basically almost a playoff game lul

2-1 the score unless lady luck be on the other guys side

Anyways lets see if against CBJ they break the mold or add to it either is possible at this point but will be a one off Christmas miracle

Juraj Slafkovsky looks real good, he's really working hard and putting pressure on the opponents, laying the body and creating chances, he has a goal and an assist tonight

I think you’ll need a veteran on the cheap to take some of the burden off Woll. Your best bet is to send Samsonov down the Jack Campbell route and trade for a cheap veteran who’s better than Jones.

Or they can just put Sammy in a position to succeed like we saw when he went up against FLA, VAN, BOS, and NSH

Basically the stronger the opponent the better he and the team does.

Him or any goalie against a non contending team = uh oh with this team as no matter whose in net they ****ed

Would rather spend the assets to shore up the Dcore. As we saw with LAK and Talbot its a recipe for success. As look at his numbers in OTT next to LA with a better Dcore infront

Timmins, Benoit, Lagesson, aint it.

Are there any current NTC or NMC that expire mid-season?

Examples: Tyler Bozak and Tomas Tatar

You can’t sell off if your Pittsburgh because they have no first round pick

Probs can get a 1st + easily for Guentzel and Petterson and I think a nice pkg for Smith

Like VGK I could see trade for Guentzel 50% ret and im scared lul

And with Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Karlsson probs pick lost probs will be 15 OA

If they can get 2 1sts for this draft via moving Guentzel and Petterson thats not bad.

Then you look at other moves in the summer after the draft

Rust, Rakell, etc.

Montreal is just that team that has clear problems and somehow finds ways to win, it’s hilarious we’re still very much in the hunt

I don’t mean to be rude but you guys don’t seriously think they actually will make the playoffs do you? Because they gotta beat out Tampa, Carolina and Detroit to get a spot lol. And their goal differential is -17.

I don’t lol but with the way they’ve been pulling wins out of nowhere, they have a chance to stay in the hunt for a while

I don't have any expectations, but you can't ignore that they are only a handful of points out and the East is a tight race with other teams struggling significantly.
Detroit and Florida went 1-4 in their last 5 and Montreal is one regulation win out of a direct tie with Tampa for the division race.
For wild card, Washington and NYI are relatively weak and the other teams in the picture are struggling with consistency.
They may be least likely to get a playoff spot, but they are definitely in the running.

I don't want false hope of contending changing their approach to the season. They should still be sellers and that should take them out of the picture.
If they sell off expected assets and still remain in the hunt after the deadline, that's fine.
Realistically other teams figure it out and pull away from the pack as they don't need much to course correct, where Montreal needs a few things in order to get over the bubble hump.
