Montreal fans said they would get a 1st for Petry, Edmundson, and then Petry again. They also said Anderson would get 1-2 1sts, David Savard would get a 1st, and some even had Jake Allen going for a 1st. Habs fans were proven wrong on all of those
Petry was worth a first after the 2021 finals. When he was bad, most of us said we would be lucky to get a second. We got a fourth and a D (who turned out to be worth more than prime Petry but that wasn’t supposed to happen).
Edmunson healthy and with term would have gotten a first. When he got injured, most of us saw him get a late second or a third and a late pick. That’s pretty spot on
Apart from the delusionnal ones, most habs fans said Petry would get a third. He got less than that but not a lot less
There was the rumor that Hughes declined a first for Anderson. Also, nobody ever said he was worth a first. We only said it would take a first to get him out of Montreal
Savard hasn’t been traded and it was reported multiple times the asking price for him was a first. Hughes didn’t want to trade him and there was nothing to proves us wrong. On the opposite, it was proved right by the asking price.
Nobody ever said Allen was getting a first, unless Campbell was coming back or Edmonton would be very deseperate. The most we said he was worth was a second and a prospect, when he was having a .930 save %. After, most of us saw him get a low round pick or a late second/third with retention. You know the rest…
We also got proven right on many trade :
First for Chiarot
First for Lekhonen (was a second and first round prospect so it’s even better)
Second for Kulak
First and third for Monahan (wich was exactly what we asked for)
However, if you look at what other teams fans were saying the return was gonna be, you can clearly see they were proven wrong in almost every case
