GDT: Game 38: Montreal Canadiens vs Nashville Predators 1/3/23 8:00pm EST TSN2, RDS, TSN 690

[The Real Timo]

Over the past few weeks it has really been revealing that Christian Dvorak is nothing more than a 4th liner. Bergevin gave up a first for a 4th liner.

Question... who did Phoenix draft with that pick? Is he any good? Is it like Drouin and Sergachev?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

My concern for having a total loser mindset is the impact it can have on the younger players. Hard to compete when you have a team no better than last season.

The team is way better than last season.
The habs had 22 wins in 82 games last year. They currently have 15 wins in 37 games.

How many wins do you predict for the rest of the season?

Idk, but a lot more than 7 in 45 games, which is what is would take to have the same number of wins as last season.

They traded the pick to the Sharks, who selected Filip Bystedt.

They also acquired the pick that was used to draft Conor Geekie (Who I would have liked to have drafted, personally).

The Arizona Coyotes acquired the No. 11 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft in a trade with the San Jose Sharks, sending them picks No. 27, 34 and 45 in exchange. The deal was the first under new Sharks general manager Mike Grier, whose hiring was announced Tuesday.​

I hadn't looked at the standings lately, damn the Hawks are good at it. That must be some heavy caliber Toews is driving. Won't be easy to catch down indeed.

That's some classic Penguins style tanking right there.

Some people here really liked Bystedt if I remember correctly

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Rumours have started that Ekholm is available. Does that signal Nashville is prepping to tank the year?

They sit with pick #10. They're 6 pts out of WC2, but have 3 games in hand.

Don't want Nashville joining the crowd at the bottom.

Bleh back to Habs hockey which will be much less entertaining than anything from Monday.

Before the season started, i thought Pitts was ready for their next drafted superstar, as it's been almost 20 years.
Lemieux - Crosby -

 

[L4br3cqu3]

If we lose (at this point, I hope we rack more losses than wins), I at least hope we lose with a fight.

Oh, and I'm actually rooting for Arizona tonight. And Vancouver.

Ultimately, Maveric Lamoureux. I mean they didn't draft him with THAT pick, but they traded 27th (and other picks) to pick 11th, but kept 29th and picked Lamoureux with it.

I would rather have Geekie over Dvorak... what a terrible trade.

Nah! Who'd want a massive two-way centreman prospect who puts up more than a point-per-game in his draft year in juniors?

Not Bergevin apparently. Yet another panic move got us the great ...floating Dvorak.

 

[ArtPeur]

Well... It's not Geekie vs Dvorak as we held the #27 pick. It's Bystedt vs Dvorak.

.. but still.

How many wins do you predict for the rest of the season?

I’m no statistician… but a man of faith. 8?

I don't think ownership changes their vision.

If they let Poile go, then maybe that signals a new shift, but until then, I assume the mission is status quo.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I think we win this game 4-1 or 4-2

 

[Durvann]

Savard is back. That's not good for the tank.

 

[Runner77]

Savard is back. That's not good for the tank.

Could be good on the trade front.

 

[cphabs]

That's some classic Penguins style tanking right there.

Yep.

 

[LesHabitants]

Savard is back. That's not good for the tank.

It could be Denis Savard, with Steve Larmer next to him, in their prime... and we would still suck cow patties.

 

[Tyson]

What spectacle are we about to witness?
