Pre-Game Talk: Game 1 Preseason Habs vs. Philadelphia (Monday Sept. 23 – 7PM ET) RDS

2 expansion drafts in 4 or 5 years could really f*** this team out of really good players.

We'll lose some good players, but we also have a lot of good young players coming up that won't need to be protected and could replace those we lose. Players such as Hage, Eriksson, Konyushkov, the 7 picks we have in the first 2 rounds of the next 2 drafts, etc.

This is definitely something HuGo needs to keep in mind. I'm sure they're aware, but it scares me knowing that a lot of these guys wont be exempt in 4/5 years down the line. Last thing we want is to be put in a pinch for what to do with some of the young studs.

Also right in the middle of being contenders too imo. I honestly don't even like thinking about it lol but hopefully guys like Kapanen, Hage, future draft picks, etc can step in if an important piece unfortunately has to go

I'm only laughing at your post because we're thinking the exact same thing haha
