Yeah. We should just start over now.
Good call.
I didn't say start over, but the way things are going in 2 years they might have to if the habs are still trending at whatever the f*** this is. No defensive structure and can't generate offense.
It's almost like a rebuild come with its share of uncertainty...
Well yeah, but one thing that shouldn't be uncertain is the progress of the players.
We're 5 games into a new season, but there's a lot of bad, or concerning things that still reside with the team these 5 games into the season that they had last year.
Again, 5 games into a season isn't a whole lot, but they look like shit.
The team last year for the most part was competitive, but just simply lost because of lack of skill, depth and experience.
I want the habs to suck this year as I 100% believe they need another high-end prospect. Honestly, they could use another one on top of that, so if they can get Calgary and Florida to finish 11th and the other anywhere higher, the habs could get another high-end player as this draft looks to have a fair amount of good players. That could set this pool up well, especially if they can get another 1st, or some 2nds and move into the 1st to get a faller, or just use those 2nds to amass what will likely become their top prospects aside from Demidov and Hage.
Habs also need to stop drafting below average sized players with no above average skill, or trait. Habs are full of these players that will become a fringe NHLer at best. They somewhat did this this past draft, but need to continue.
Also, pass drafting goalies for a draft, or two unless it's like a 7th rounder and it's a goalie who should have gone in the 2nd, or 3rd, then maybe.
