Thread: Another tough year but thats what we need
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Reff</b></div><div>Problem is not with the fans whining, it's about the sponsors not being happy. They pour millions of $ in the franchise and expect to get associated with a winning team, have a positive image. That weighs a lot more than fans complaining.

If Gorton and Hughes are all in with a full rebuild and take the necessary time to meet their major sponsors, I think they can manage a good media campaign and still get all of them to follow. If the sponsors are in, medias and fans will also follow.

That being said, it's far more easy to go along this way by getting the kids to play and give the fans/sponsors/media something exciting to watch rather than letting them develop in Laval and have a squad of aging veterans who will finish dead last once again. That's quite a dillema.</div></div>

Good points.

Thread: Everyone else first and PLD if we can as RFA if not as UFA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>You mean like if we had 7OA instead of 3OA ?
If that's the case it would deffinetly change things a bit for us as we'd take Carlsson or Yager IMO
That would probably allow us to look harder at UFA's the next season whether internal or external


Fantilli i had assumed would have stayed in NCAA 2 years more which woulda brought him in when Evans was going out
I think Carlsson and Yager would require an extra year atleast and even then im not as sure they'd replace Evans on third
This makes MTL look at re-signing either Faksa or Evans to a 1 year deal to play until they can emerge from the AHL to NHL

Only Bedard i could see possibly being ready to walk in straight out the draft and line up in this roster
If we got him by some miracle then i'd probably slot him in where Pitlick is and if that works i wouldnt look at PLD at all .
I'd thank my lucky stars and be greatful to put Bedard and Dach in a situation where they can grow together as Centers
Sharing the role until 1 of the 2 outright make a case to take it full time with Anderson on their Wing as a Protector type</div></div>

I thought there were 2 or 3 kids that could make the jumps to the NHL right away because they already had "nhl" bodies.

I think that if in 2 years PLD is available and played well and we have the cap room... It's almost impossible for the habs not to get him.
Especially if he is vocal about playing here.
