Thread: Offseason Changes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mjoyce001</b></div><div>It's a coaching and don't piss off Bill Guerin or Dean Evason issues. As much I love and adore Matt dumba, as soon he pissed off Dean Evason, he was benched. Calen Addison: pissed off Dean Evason and Bill Guerin and didn't play most if not all of 2nd half of season. Boldy: criticized in media by Guerin at the end of thus season.

Fiala: traded because he clashed with Dean Evason. How often does a gm choose a coach over player? I know money played big role also, but relationships was fractured

Zuccarello &amp; foligno: Zip! No criticism..Spurgeon: no criticism.

It's kind of sad that when you critique the coaching staff as a player on the Minnesota Twins, and now the MIN Wild, they talk about family culture and openness, but it doesn't exist</div></div>

I don’t necessarily disagree with your dislike of Dean, but I think it’s more of a system thing. I also don’t think BG has unconditional love for DE…BG didn’t hire DE, he inherited him.

I certainly agree that I hate BG’s philosophy on young players, and his unwillingness to let them learn in the NHL.

I have a strong dislike for Leipold…from how he got the team, to how he dealt with Suter, and now his unwillingness to think long term!! I mean they are in cap hell (because of him) and then not allow the team to tank for top 5 picks!! WTF!!

Thread: 23 looking towards 25
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffGorton</b></div><div>You think its stupid the Habs wouldnt trade 5th overall and Lane Hutson for Kaprisov and Gustavsson.

Lets break it down

The player selected 5th overall will be slightly worse than Kaprizov like Smith or Benson but if Michkov is available, its not even a debate. Michkov will be better than Kaprizov

Hutson is an A+ defensive prospect. Dominating everywhere he plays. Will be a bonified #1 D man

Gustavsson has had 1 good season in front of one of the better d cores in the league. Kinda like how Cam Talbot was so good on the Rangers. His numbers arent sustainable in any way.

So explain to me how the Habs would even acknowledge that trade with the info given below</div></div>. (I think you mean above, but that not here or there)

I'm saying, you comment that the "Havs would accept the trade with Kaprizov in it" ...is DUMB. They would sprint to the fax machine.

Kaprizov is a top 15 player in the league...the Wild won't trade Kap for the 5th straight up. The 5th pick is a great pick, and I hope he works out for you, but it's not a guarantee...don't start measuring that banner of the rafters just yet!

#5 pick the last 10 years...Elias Lindholm, Michael Del Colle (who?), Noah Hanifin, Olli Juolevi, Elias Pettersson, Barrett Hayton, Alex Turcotte, Jake Sanderson, Kent Johnson, Shane Wright

You wan't to argue that Mont wouldn't trade 5 and Hutson for Gus...ok, that might have been wishful thinking (but look around, seems to be a theme on here). But Kirill is better than anything they are going to draft, today.
