If Ghule and one of Mysak, Biondi, Farrel, or Tuch are top 6 it's a great draft.

No complaint from me. But this was the year to pick at least one talented forward from the Q. It was a strong year for the Q. I mean, imagine if the draft would have happened in Montreal? Timmins would have had beer thrown at him from the stands.

I remember when I was following the Gatineau Olympiques scene more closely, and being at the Bob the year Giroux was scouted, Timmins was snobbish regarding the Q's quality of play. And although he tried to rewrite history after by stating that he liked Giroux, that's complete horseshit. He was pretty vocal to some other scouts and hockey people in the arena. He NEVER thought Giroux would amount to much. Because he had a prejudice against the Q.

Meanwhile, the team that won the Cup has splurged a plenty in the Q's pool, with not only locals, but Euros. Euros and locals that gave them the Cup, and not as simpletons, but key players.

The day Timmins leaves is the day that you will see more QUALITY locals drafted by the Habs. Taking the Fortiers of this world just to show some Q results is like drafting the kid from the Junior A BC team last year.

Habs probably made out good this year. But at equal evaluation, you go for the locals. I blame our two Q stooges for that. And Mr. Universe.

And this is literally how everyone should be viewing this and most drafts in general....its like people think every pick we make has to make the NHL 100% but it just doesnt work like that....

Maybe. But could one of those picks be replaced by a Q player at equal value? I think so.

Which french player will Montreal take in the 5th-7th rounds....they always seem to take a french player late....Harvey-Pinard,Houde,Gregoire,Audette,Bourque,Hudon....my guess this year Xavier Simoneau and goalie Devon Levi.

You mean playing hockey and taking some risk with diabetes and COVID.

Playing on the 4th line and not complaining.

LOL the two bubbles turned out to be THE SAFEST PLACES in north america you could BE in by the WAY. so this RISK youre talking about, was if he DIDNT go in the bubble, compared to being in it, funny how that turned out eh?

And obviously, he didnt complain verbally about the 4th line.
Hopefully you at least SAW his PLAY instead of website recaps with peoples quotes, because he may not of complained but the play on the ice certainly looked like he was

he was honest to god doing bad things on purpose a couple of times, i wish i could compile footage of it, missing passes on purpose , blowing coverages and whatnot

Good riddance punk
