Although the Leafs and Sens have not won anything either, the difference they have is that they struggle for a few years or so, got lucky in the lottery and drafted high in the first round. In the case of Ottawa, they sent their best assets at the time to get more picks and prospects. Montreal has only had three picks inside the top 10 since 2012, and two of those guys are gone! Maybe it's time for Habs to struggle a few years in order to better position ourselves for when guys like KK, Suzuki, Romanov and Primeau reach their prime.
Just tired of the same thing every season, great start then stumble followed by a small peak then plateau for the rest of the year. Maybe my view will change in three weeks, lol!!!!
Trade happens in the offseason. Not sure if EDM is the best place but thinking by taking back Neal's contract and retaining on Weber, it could work. Might be the best spot for Weber to get his Cup before it's too late.
Muller is definitely NOT the answer, I was just showing how the team got better without Julien and his old dead ways behind the bench... I would bring up Joel Bouchard and have Ducharme go down to help bring up the kids in Laval.
Well my friend, Julien and Muller are gone - I hope things change
