Really?!? My memory could be foggy but wasn’t Gorton fighting hard for him?

I remember he asked a question about the team not willing to take the "risk", which I assume meant Michkov. I also find Gorton tends to have a contrarian approach during these meetings to make his team think, but I really don't remember anyone fighting hard for anyone but Reinbacher and that scout for the goalie.

Use where? Did you find a taker for Gallagher and Anderson? Cause with Gallagher, Anderson, Roy, Dvorak and cie i see no place for depth before another 2 years at least.
Maybe you don't remember but this is the NHL lineup the Habs had last year

Moving Anderson to 13th forward would do wonders for this team.

Anaheim - Montreal just seem like natural partners considering the Ducks would likely get their player whether at 3 or 5.

I do remember comments about ultra-talented high potential players with more risk. It did sound like they liked the player but were scared of the risk.

And they were pretty much wrong about that said risk but were not here for that.

In that scenario who are we getting ? Demidov ? I would have a hard time getting the 50/50 toss up of Chicago picking Demidov or not for the assets we'd give.

Much rather sit back relax and pick Iggy/Catton/Lindstrom at 5, or even drop lower.

It's difficult to know what they meant by risk without being in those meetings. We only get a snippet of their hours long conversations.

Oh like just playing devil’s advocate. Maybe. Yeah I could be wrong. I thought Hughes was being more level headed contrarian while Gorton seemed to think passing on MM was a real mistake.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Lindstrom actually. Or, to make 100% sure they get either Demidov or Lindstrom.
