Bedard or Cup?

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Painful middle, please.

Bedard.

You can win one cup now, but with Bedard, you won 4 cups.

This team is not making the playoffs this year, let alone winning the cup and anyone with an ounce of logic knows it. I'll stay in the real world and say Bedard or any other top prospect cause it's the right answer.

Bedard, cup, Bedard, cup IT KEEPS
CHANGING NIGHT TO NIGHT, I JUST DON’T KNOW

Because the reason to draft Bedard is to win MULTIPLE Cups.

Or, you know, win none. Not like there's any other teams looking to win a cup any way. Guarantee a cup, i take it every time.

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.

LOL there are 32 teams in NHL and Crazy parity. Of course cup. What a dumb question.

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

That was not the question

 

[bsl]

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


but that is not the question.

It would not be questioning the sanity. it would be questioning the intelligence.

 

[bsl]

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?

Not the question.He said if one or the other was a certainty, not what are the odds.

Cap always but there is about 0.1% chance the Habs would win it so in the end I rather go for Bedard which won't happen either the way they keep playing 500 hockey.

 

[rik schau]

I was surprised that it's not unanimous!! I thought the goal was the Cup,what happened?lol

 

[nhlfan9191]

Bedard.

You can win one cup now, but with Bedard, you won 4 cups.

Bedard-Suzuki down the middle is something the rest of the league should and would fear.

 

[rik schau]

Because the reason to draft Bedard is to win MULTIPLE Cups.

A great player does not guarantee a cup -Carey Price-

Silly question

No such thing as a silly question, just silly answers.lol.

I would prefer whatever path ends up being best for our core players development. Don't care about having top 5 or whatever.

Focus on asset evaluation and having clear progression plan for our young players and we'll grab what we can.

The way I see it is you want a balance for a somewhat positive learning environment so top 5 is highly unlikely for this team.

Couldn't care less about a cup this year or next year. I want long term entertainment. Like 4-6 straight seasons of contention whenever they end up being ready.
