Habs fans would definitely cry.

Schneider instead of Lundkvist, Laf instead of Kakko and lose the 2nd rounder

yep

Wouldn't do Laf 1 for 1 honestly

Neither would I, Slaf is basically a younger Laf just in a larger frame

I think Cooley may be the homerun pick this year, Zegras like

Agreed - Lafreniere & Schneider are who the Habs would want to make a deal happen. Our 2 1st rounders could go back in compensation though.

You honestly think that Host MTL trades its 1st rounder for a pick in 2023 that wont be a Lottery Pick?

That's where i stopped reading
Without a pick in the 1st this year NYR is getting hung up on 10/10 despite good value.
They paid a lot for Copp and now they're in a position where they have no leverage

Teams rarely make deals to trade this years 1st for a later 1st the next year.
When they do its always for a Huge payday with Quality and Quantity.
This is a Grey area as even with said changes the Value isnt there

Now if they acquired a top 20 pick this year and fronted the same offer
I'd likely take it depending on if we got NYI 13th OA for Anderson or not


Otherwise why bother just to fill a RD spot as its the only thing we cant acquire in Free Agency
Getting a mid level winger to put up 20-30 pts isnt that tough its actually really easy

I don't know enough about him to say but Its new management in charge so I got to trust them for now, if this was MB he'd be picking the first French name he sees

30 pt player who was #1 OA?
Last forward i remember with that little was Yakupuv
He scored on the same pace over his first 3-4 seasons too

EDM fans claimed he still had value up until the day they traded him for nothing

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

MB actually took less French players in the Draft and more French Developed from the QMJHL
Molson bought the team a week before the 2009 draft and MTL drafted its first of 2 french players the next 3 years
Both Busted and Molson since wont take French players in the top 50 picks

He's still mocked more for Leblanc then Molson can handle
If his Prejudice wasnt allowed to interfere then MTL has a Stanley Cup right now from 2014
Gainey said he woulda taken Kreider not Leblanc and therefore Price never gets injured in the playoffs the year he was on fire.

Since then he's shut down drafting French just because they're french
That said he'll give up the farm if another Pierre Luc Dubois comes up
If CBJ didnt pick him he was giving up Subban package with a 1st to get him
Given how lack lusted PLD has been it woulda haunted us
He's far from a bust but also a far cry from the value MTL woulda handed EDM if they got him

What i see is. . . .

tough

What is "something this guy thinks he is"


Stopping by to say "im not reading this" is a classic example of your Generations Anti Democratic viewpoints.
You want and demand more from everyone while lowering the bar then circling back with this needy desire for attention with a non comment

Its like when i hear people at my Church protest Abortion while Bitc*ing about taxes covering "welfare families"
I slam them openly in public debate for being inconsistent and trying to Sherk Responsibility
Newtons 3rd Law of Motion Demands i do really and it govern's basically everything on earth by Proxy

I said no crying but fine ill engage. 19 even strength goals no PP time and 3rd line minutes for a 20 year old. Shane wright had a worse pre draft year than Cole Perfetti and will probably be playing his rookie year around 20.

Your arguement serious is 1 bad or good year defines a player?
I mean Slappy is having a career high to this point and no guarantee he hits it again
Where as Wrights been setting league records held by Prominent NHLer's since he was 16 years old
Thats just down right Goofy logic

Yes a Worse Draft Year
But up until this point he's been talked about in what Regard?

Reality is bad ownership can ruin a year for a prospect
Kingston wouldnt trade him instead Rebuilding around him
That's not something he can control but his Line carried them to the playoffs
They were literally the ONLY one's on the whole team to put in a Playoff worth effort

Its so bad i dont expect MTL to let him stay in Junior unless he's traded
There's more value in letting him play in the NHL or AHL if you really want him to go for ROY(i dont but people cry about losing ROY eligibility )

I get that fans on here who dont attend these games always ignore the context of the Teams they play for.
But the reality is you cant blame him for Owners not trading him and not bringing in talent to support him
They made a choice

Its the difference between a Jaskin finishing top 5 in QMJHL scoring with bottom 6 minutes
While at the same time boosting up 16 year old rookie Connor Garland with a Winning Culture & what Kingston does.
Garland went on to win 2/3 next scoring titles as QMJHL top guy as he was developed right by a Fanatical Owner Robert Irving

Bad Ownership especially when they're the NYI of the OHL with 1 family ruining their teams odds year after year with bad decisions
That can make all the difference but through all that Wrights never cried about it he's taken responsibility for the lack of support his management/owners offered

That to me is a Mature Young player of Value who handles Adversity in Stride
I've seen many in the same position leave for other leagues especially the NCAA
Wright didnt even flinch
