Thread: MTL Fans lets talk about THE 3RD SELECTION! Honest from Leafs fan..
I'm happy with the pick. There was no getting cute about it, you want him, take him. We saw that AZI we're interested in a center as well (god forbid they have good center depth) and Ottawa probably wasn't interested. The thing that I like the most about Kotkaniemi over Zadina/Tkachuk is that he WONT be playing in MTL next year. He's young, and it's going to be a full development process from here on out. Montreal won't be a very good team next season, but when their young prospects start kicking into gear, then suddenly out of nowhere Montreal has all this young, competitive talent to build around. This isn't even the highlight of the draft I believe. Montreal really gets juicy with their 2nd round, this is where we'll really build off of, with the young Finn leading the charge.

Yep. It still hurts. But if we ended up trading him the Desert, then there was more smoke under the hood then we probably imagined. Rumours have us shopping him since the deadline, and it appears the GM's caught whiff of it, too. Me and a lot of other Habs fans got really attached to him, so seeing him go feels like putting a toothpick under my nail and kicking a wall. If I look at it from an outside perspective, I don't think it's as kneejerk as we're making it out to be.

Seems we're looking to aquire a list of players who played for team Canada... Price, Webs, Gally, Mete, Domi... We're hunting ROR too, the team is scary, like we got some seriously good players on the team, but no glue to meld it together.

As much as I wanna say **** MB, I can't, cause that's what management wants me to do. He's a scapegoat, like Bettman or Goodell, there to take the heat and walk it off. For now, all I can do it watch with impunity, hoping we don't derail into mediocrity.

Thread: VAN, EDM, CGY, DAL, & MTL Trades W/ Zadina as Endgame
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>That is a terrible assessment IMO.

What is MTL losing here exactly? Everyone knows they want Kotkaniemi but know he should be available later in the top 10. We're moving down 4 spots to where most people have Kotkaniemi being taken as early as, a 32nd overall 2nd rounder which is basically a late 1st, Bennett whose a cheap cost controlled center who potentially can be a stud player if given a fresh start and Larsson who everyone knows is a throw in but at his cap hit has zero impact just about on this team. Play him in the AHL if you don't like him. Its not like the Habs are loaded at center on the farm either....

I think you need to keep things in perspective here. Whats the alternative potentially? We take Kotkaniemi at 3 and that's it...... No 2nd rounder, No Bennett, no Larsson (which most people are fine with but anyway).

I'd take that deal and run if this was all that was on the table before I had to make the 3rd pick.</div></div>

No guarentee we're picking Kotkaniemi. If We're not taking Zadina, then I'd take Hughes over Kotkaniemi. Zadina will crack the lineup next year. Hughes probably not, but it could be a possiblilty. Kotkaniemi is 2 yers away from being NHL ready. That's why the 3rd OVA is worth so much, cause stasitsticly speaking, 100% of all 3rd round draft picks play at least 100 nhl games. only 91% of 7th ova's and 29% of 32 ova.

If we're really high on Kotkaniemi, we're getting Chicago's or New york's pick instead. You don't **** around with the 3rd.

Thread: MTL Draft Trade; Car according to rumors, and JT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Chicago needs another good puck possession forward and sniper and at a cheap rookie contract to compete. Hawks lost those two things with Hossa and as Sharp aged. The most important part is to get a guy that can have a big impact now and with Debrincat and Schamltz, be the new core for the future.

MTL if they move patches or chucky, duclair could fit in nicely.</div></div>

Zadina does fit the bill, but Montreal has other players that can fit that role I figure. Galchenyuk is obviously top of the line, but he'll cost an arm and leg before we part with him. Hudon is untouchable too. So that leaves Lehkonen, who had an off year but spent time on the first : Very good shot and release, decent speed, good hands, and has another year left on ELC. Should maybe target him.
