He's the best actor in that bunch, that is for sureA statement that was rarely said....I'm a Billy Ryan fan. I hope we keep him. If not, I hope some teams see him as a real potential for head scout.
It depends of what your definition of BPA is.I'm of the opinion that BPA doesn't really exist unless you pick 1st and in some drafts, a few more picks. Everyone else is pretty much in a cluster and so teams will mostly pick by need.
Teams draft by need 99% of the time. This is why Hawks took Levshunov 2nd. He's a great pick, but Chicago needed a D.
Last year, because most wanted Michkov and others wanted Leonard, they focused on Hughes saying if Reinbacher wasn't an RD, he'd probably not be their pick. So everyone held it against them.
BPA is a fact. It's a no-one-questions-you are-the-best. But when you get to 5th, your BPA isn't my BPA, so who really is the BPA? Which is why to me, BPA is just something people say that doesn't really hold much weight.
Demidov >>> Lafleur AINEC by far
What was the cause? He must been young.Patrik Laine dad, died in 2021.
The past few years it hasn't been long enough. After this off season, I'm ready to get this party started.The offseason is too goddamned long. It's incredible. Feels like it's been years.
I wonder if they brought in Jay Baruchel to do some indepth scouting.Oh, and I like how they justify taking Koivu at 3rd: he eats well and he sleeps well.. now that is some serious scouting!!
I love those commercials and Jay is a crazy Habs fan
Wasn't you one of main ones wanted a rebuild program? It's part of the process. Off seasons are 2 months longerThe offseason is too goddamned long. It's incredible. Feels like it's been years.
Thx, yes I realized that shortly after I asked.Patrik Laine dad, died in 2021.
LOL.................you think that the video shows all discussions?? LOL.....I agree with that. But I would have expected a little bit more discussion on this.. not a complete consensus. Surely some scouts would not have seen him and would have focused on WHL or NCAA. Usually in those meetings, everybody pushes their own pony.

I think they would absolutely take an extra day to do this.. this is not about the number of hits on youtube.. its about creating a hype for a loosing team that has struggled to fill the Bell Centre and has dwindling views on cable networks.
They need to renew the quebecor deal of $110M per season... you don't think taking a day to shoot some content is worth a bit of money?

Yeah but still suck to have given that 2nd round pick for nothing. We'll never know who our drafting team would have drafted with the pick but there was interesting prospects available at 37th.Fair but JK is an overpaid borderline NHLer at this point. Type of deal where everyone fails!
Hannu Laine has been with the Habs for over 20 yearsAlso, is the Finnish scout named Laine, related to Patrik? first I've seen that scout.
Just a quick reminder guys :
Have a great saturday boys !
Currently battling myself from watching it for a 3rd time.
5th time watching/listening.
I get the question, but just feel bad for Hage each time just thinking how often he got asked about his dad.
Really love the Demidov response of "yeah" to being asked "if we pass on you, are we crazy ?"
lol I caved. I'll probably watch it for a 4th time when I wake up.Currently battling myself from watching it for a 3rd time.
I think it was inappropriate that question about Hage's dad was made public, there is no reason to wallow in his private issues, that's tabloid journalism.5th time watching/listening.
