One game doesn’t dictate a rebuild. Montreal needs to do something about #48 on defense though, he was a liability all game.
Yeah Hutson was absolutely manhandled last night by the forecheck for turnovers and goals against. Color me skeptical playing him for 20+ mpg is going to work out in the playoffs.One game doesn’t dictate a rebuild.

My point, which you can't seem to grasp, is that out of alllllllll these assets that you named and whom contributed to accelerate their rebuild, none of them are a top 10 picks. All of these assets comes from draft picks ranked in a range that a team trying to compete for a playoff spot every year gets.
If the habs sucked as much as the other rebuilding teams during these year (as you falsely claim), then certainly they would have obtained a few picks in the top 10? Not just one that they lost to an hostile offer, right?
So your premise, which seem to be that "Habs weren't rebuilding but they sucked so much that they gathered assets just like they were a rebuilding team" is just a load of crap.
It's really not that complicated. The more times I have to explain it to you and the silliest you look. I'll keep going because I'm sure people find it hilarious.
What facts?

So you're telling that you cant see the difference between those records?I said I would repeat just once but changed my mind, here you go :
They did well (average) in 2018-19 but the outlook is this :
2017–18 : 28th in P% (4th worst team)
2018–19 : 14th in P%
2019–20 : 24th in P% (8th worst team)
2020–21 : 18th in P%
21st overall for these 4 seasons
For Ottawa, which was a rebuilding team :
2020-21 : 23rd in P%
2021-22 : 26th in P%
2022-23 : 21st in P%
2023-24 : 26th in P%
24th overall for these 4 seasons
So you understand that outside of that average season, it looks pretty similar to Ottawa during their rebuild and overall just 3 spots above in the standings with one team less (31 teams)
So the point people are making. Habs have been a well below average team since 2017-18, that they delayed their needed rebuild to 2021 or not...
Oh and do you remember Bergevin's "plan quinquennal"? I do
My posts had nothing to do with "draft position" but yet, you coming back with this, absolutely hilarious.
