Player Discussion Most disappointing Hughes Acquisition (All Michkov draft talk here)

[HabsAddict]

I look high and low, but Pollock reincarnated in Hughes I didn't find.

There are many sins one can commit as a GM but the one that even the devil never makes is to draft by need. BPA was, is and will always be the path.

Rein instead of Michkov is worse then Adam chomping at an apple....

That's a great analogy. Sounds like Hughes might be Adam reincarnated

Buffalo sucks with Power and Dahlin , no way Reinbacher is going to save us. Oh wait we have Barron and Matheson we are loaded in sure he will be in good hands.

We don't need RB to save us. We got loads of talent coming up. You've seen what Hutson can do. Next up is Demidov... Laine is looking like a great pickup.

We're in good shape man. Whether we missed out on Mich or not we've got good talent up front.

Romanov is a LD, not a RD. He prefers to play left and he is used that way by the Isles.


maybe Michkov decides to finish his whole contract in the KHL, too…...

We just don't know. Again, so far I have trust in Hughes and accept that there must be a good reason in not taking Michkov and taking Reinbacher instead.

I like our core group of kids as long as we continue to get bigger and meaner to mix in with that skill. Our blueline is going to let us down , but honestly I think we could fix that if we get a good Calgary draft pick this year. Move it for one of their stud prospects perhaps? You think Calgary would take their first rounder back for say...Zayne Parekh?

"We picked Reinbacher over Michkov!"

I don't think our blueline is going to let us down at all. Ghule and Hutson are already studs. We've got X and Struble as 3rd stringers on the left side. So that's covered really nicely.

RB should be able to slide in on the right just fine. Even if he doesn't live up to the pick, he should be a steady Eddie presence there with Hutson which is all we really need. Then you've got Mailloux and Baron on the way up. If we don't trust them we can leverage Matheson+++ for some help on the right. And honestly, that might not be a bad idea. We could keep one of those guys to learn on the 3rd pair and maybe deal the other away for some more experienced help.

We've got so much depth on the blueline coming up. Left side is pretty set. It's just the right we need to worry about. And as much as I've seen you complain about RB, his profile is that of a steady performer. That's exactly what we need.
