Bedard or Cup?

[waitin425]

Simple question....

This season....would you rather we sneak into the playoffs and somehow win the cup......or would you rather finish bottom 5, win the lottery and select Bedard.

Both.

Go all the way and win the lottery with Florida’s pick.

Cup. Easy answer. Does Bedard get you a cup? Maybe

Both have very very very very low % of happening though.

IMO, The better question is would you rather Final 4 or 8 (2nd or 3rd round) or bottom 5 pick.

If you can guarantee me that we win the cup this season then screw Bedard... It means we already have a good enough core!

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Silly question, I’ll take it even further, I would chose a cup even if it meant losing all of our young players and prospects and starting over after.

 

[Lshap]

Winning the Cup would distract from the greater goal of drafting high, developing a core, and eventually winning the Cup.

 

[waitin425]

I know this is a silly question.....but someone voted for Bedard already. I am interested in their rationale.

I want to see the true tank commanders here!

I voted Cup all the way!

 

[Gamimenos]

The reason to draft Bedard is to eventually win the cup. So if that's happening any way, why not just win the cup?

 

[Paddyjack]

Obviously the Cup, because it would means our young core is ready to go for more already.

 

[Rob Sense]

We are not sneaking into playoffs...December is coming!

 

[hardcorehabs]

Odds of winning a cup if we draft Bedard - ~35%
Odds of winning the cup if we sneak into playoffs this year - 0.25%

You're an idiot if you want playoffs instead of Bedard

 

[Sterling Archer]

I believe they hang Stanley Cup banners, not draft banners.

 

[tazsub3]

i think we must question the sanity of anyone saying bedard.... except his family members wanting him to be in montreal

Odds of winning a cup if we draft Bedard - ~35%

You're an idiot if you want playoffs instead of Bedard

but that is not the question.

 

[Canadiens98]

Some picked Bedard over a Stanley Cup? Really?

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

One choice is more realistic than the other, especially after only 9 games.

but that is not the question.

More realistic question would have maybe been: Conference finals vs Bedard.

That way, can argue a 3rd round appearance would add a layer of experience to our core which is perhaps >> Bedard Maybe?

As it stands, this is a stupid poll. If we somehow sneak into playoffs, odds are very high we are out in Round 1/2. Especially if we sell off at the deadline (if we don't that's a huge mistake IMO).

This type of question always brings me back to...

Odds of actually getting Bedard.. minuscule. Odds of getting Fantilli.. minuscule. Odds of getting Michkov.. minuscule. We’re simply too good of a team to finish that low, people need to wake up, we’re better than expected.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

you pick the cup everytime look at Edmonton with McDavid and Draisaitl and still no cup

 

[Tetragrammaton]

LMAO at anyone who answered Bedard

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

lol really?
cup is ultimate goal obviously, but
we have 0.5% odds to win the cup, read it somewhere, don't remember
In the other hand, we will probably have 10+% to win Bedard and even if we don't we would draft high

so do you go after the 0.5%, if you lose you lose all?
or you go after a 20+ times bigger odd and if you lose, you still draft high?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

The Stanley Cup obviously, that's what you play for!!!

Look at McDavid, Oilers didn't win shit

 

[Captain Mountain]

The answer is obviously the cup.

It's also an incredibly dumb question as Montreal's chances of winning the cup are much lower.

 

[BJCOLLINS]

LOL, Wow…..to win both.
Imagine, both the love & hate that would be palpable throughout Habs & Leaf’s nation which is, let’s face it, international, lol. To answer your question the cup has to be the focus every time a pro team hits the ice. Bedard is our best chance along with about 25 other teams…right now.

 

[Vachon23]

It's impossible it's happen this year, but winning the Cup will always be the goal and the ultimate goal
