Laval Rocket (My Take) - Based off Habs4Ever

i think bitten is better suited on the wing. he mostly plays wing in the ohl as well

Can't help to think that the habs future looks extremely weak....I like Evans and he might actually become an habs in the top 9 but other than that....maybe Fleury has some top-6 potential but that's it.
Such a sh*tty job of drafting and developping done by Marc Bergevin and his staff. That alone should have cost him his job....

Hmm, no, I disagree. How many picks and young quality prospects have we traded away? Timmins did pretty good in drafting, I find.
You´re obviously not seeing here Galchenyuk, Lehkonen, Scherbak, Mete, Juulsen, and Carr, who all easily belong in the NHL now.
You´re also not seeing Poehling, Hawkey, Primeau, since they´re staying in the NCAA for now.
You´re also not seeing Sergachev, for obvious reasons.

Plus, I omitted a lot of 2017 draft picks, preferring to let them season one more season in the juniors, except for Fleury, whom I think is ready.

Your obviously not seeing that we wasted Sergachev's potential for a princess with no character( nice pic mate)
You're not seeing that Carr, Mete, Juulsen, Schebak, Lehkonen haven't proven at all that they were regular Nhl-er. Lehkonen had a very bad year, Carr is an ahler, Juulsen will get a real test in training camp, Mete might have been burned by playing him way too early in the NHL, Scherbak hasn't proven a damn thing either yet.
You're naming NCAA guys who apart from Poehling and Evans are not worthy of considering as future habs player.
Fleury ready for AHL? yea i agree but most certainly not NHL. The habs haven't picked a guy that really stands out from the 2017 draft.

we don't trade quality prospects away cause we fail to develop them and all have no trade value. Beaulieu, Tinordi, Leblanc, Mccaron, Thomas, Dumont, Lernout, Pateryn, Grégoire.

I don´t know why you´re being so salty, but I guess here goes:

1. Not sure what you´re insinuating. Sergachev was a gem that was drafted by Timmins, and got traded away. Further cements my point that trading has caused most of our hole in the prospect pool.
2. Lehkonen did have a bad year, but to say that he´s anything less than NHL-level is ridiculous. At best, you can say he´s at 4th line level now, and I´ll accept that interjection.
3. Carr is not an AHLer. He´s a good bottom-6 options who plays like Gallagher, creates tons of high danger chances despite playing with low tier linemates and ridiculously low minutes. Despite the conditions, he´s the 4th best Hab in creating high-danger offensive chances, both on PP and 5-on-5. Just by this point alone, I know you´re talking out of your ass as a salty Habs fan.
4. Juulsen, well yes. But the league as a whole believes he´s ready for an NHL bottom pairing role.
5. Mete, yes that´s true he got burnt out. Again, the league as a whole believe he´s already ready for an NHL bottom pairing role, at least.
6. You´re saying that two of the best NCAA goaltenders are not worthy of consideration? Seriously, what´s wrong with you?
7. I never said Fleury is ready for the NHL, hence why I put him on the Rockets this year. Jeez, it´s like talking to a wall!
8. From the 2017 NHL Draft, only 11 players have seen at least a single NHL game. From those 11, two are not first rounders (one of which was an emergency backup). Obviously nobody will stand out now out of the first round!

Beaulieu: Touché
Leblanc: It wasn´t Timmins´pick. It was crazy fanatic fans like you who demanded a french superstar that forced the hand of the GM to pick him, even if Timmins wanted someone else.
McCarron: Again, crazy fanatic fans like you demanded a big strong physical center. Whine whine, "we´re the smallest team in the league" whine whine. Bergevin´s hand was forced, so he took the risky option. We all knew it was a risk.
Thomas: Who? We never drafted any Thomas. Do you mean Christian Thomas? We traded a failed prospect for him, I think it´s fair that he fails too.
Lernout: 3rd round pick, who are statistically unlikely to ever make it to the NHL.
Pateryn: This year he´s a solid 4D for Dallas and a quarter of these AGM teams are signing him in the offseason. What crack are you smoking?
Gregoire: 6th round pick, are you KIDDING me? He´s just filling our AHL bottom 6, and that´s fine.
