Are you a wizard


Reddit, and the board will crash no matter what,

Is there a certain area of reddit for Habs fans?

Or we can just keep on repeating Michkov 100,000 more times in here cause we have the power to impact Hughes’ mind.

I didn’t need to mention that option cause clearly if he doesn’t get a king’s ransom, he has it. However, there wouldn’t be so many rumblings if he really wanted to avail himself of it at the exclusion of other options.

Apparently, if you say Michkov three times, he appears.

LoL or maybe 11-15

No. He is really Dreger.

Michkov will either go between 2nd and 5th or between 6th and 10th.

Adam Michaels doing his very best Dreger impersonation ladies and gentlemen. Take a bow.

If this board crashes tonight, where do people go to talk about the Habs?

My priest. Especially if they pass.

 

[lamp9post]

We know that’s not the case. He had a good year in the KHL.

Right, I was speaking hypothetically.

r/Habs

Then Michkov must be at @BenchBrawl 's every other minute.

I have a back up plan if that happens

Now I'm not saying it's not going to happen. And it can obviously change with a phone call. But based on what I'm hearing, he'll go somewhere in those rangess

gimme 12 and cooley and arizonas 2nd and their unprotected first 2024 or i’m picking

might aswell ask for #6 also......

I know it’s not the same trade and I’m well aware of the age difference. I just don’t see how trading two high end draft pieces makes sense when you’re rebuilding, and I think we paid too much for Newhook and his potential. We’ve been very lucky so far with MSL being able to turn guys around, but it’s not going to happen every time. I hope Newhook works out, but I don’t think the cost is worth the risk, at this point in the rebuilding process.

In that rebuild you need balance between prospects and players who are further along in their development. Newhook is closer to Suzuki and Dach than Slaf, Heineman, Roy, Farrell ect.

With the amount of prospects and picks we have, we can surely afford to gamble on a player with good potential who hasn't reached it yet.

Plus, I don't think we are done acquiring picks for tonight

That's a matter of opinion. There are also some concerns in his game and how his flaws will translate at the NHL level. He's not a slam dunk.

And let's not pretend hockey teams live in a vacuum. The non-hockey related reasons are complex and consist of a great deal of uncertainty.

My point is that if we don't take him, it's completely irrational for outsiders to get upset about him being passed over by those who have been putting diligent work into his evaluation and have close connections to his parent team.

Irrational, yes. Will it happen...almost certainly yes.

Didn't he manage the sheik?

You could try the RDS.ca comment section, lots of knowledgeable people over there.

 

[Rozz]

Correct. There would only be last ditch attempts but the foundational elements that take time to negotiate, would have already been discussed.

What we know about Hughes is that he sets his price and doesn't seem to budge much.

I think it's the same with #5 ... he has already informed each team of interest what he wants from them... Come time, if Michkov is indeed there.. like you say there will be last ditch efforts ... if no one ponies up... i think we take him.

....At least I hope lol

Whew.. For a second there I was afraid you were gonna come back and give me the ol Dreger face look.

If only! Both the parent club and Laval would be filled with Michkovs!!

 

[ReHabs]

Posting this for posterity. Grant McCagg is a mean-spirited jagoff.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Didn't he manage the sheik?

Yes he did. He also managed guys like Superstar Billy Graham, Don Muraco, Greg Valentine, and a whole list of others.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Didn't he manage the sheik?

He sure did, amongst many others. He was a pretty big deal when I was a very young kid.

Would be funny if Bedard bust and #2-#3-#4-#5 becomes legends. f*** Chicago.
