Preds hang up

Not even close...

That giant pile of marginal assets does not get you a Norris and Vezina candidate.

i don’t think the habs could put together any package worthy of josi and saros

If wishes were horses...

forget about the trades, you have Bedard and wright and you decide to spend 17 million on dumba and forsberg?

I think there are rules against getting consecutive number 1s now. Best you can hope for is number 2 pick the second time around.

You can go back to back. You just couldn’t win again for the next 3 years

MTL fans are such fiction writers.

I mean what if you got Wright, Bedard AND Michov

Need to change the team name to the oilers for that.

True enough. At least they have the yak knee slide to remember that fun time

Lol, playing Bedard on the 3rd line. If Montreal drafts him, they should instantly make him captain and play him at 1C.

Not true. You can't win the lottery more than twice in five years, so they could still win both lotteries and draft these two players.

However, you can no longer move up more than 10 spots if you do win. So if Montreal finishes dead last and a team that finished 12-16 wins the lottery, then Montreal would still pick first, despite not winning the lottery, even if they had won the lottery the previous two years in a row.
