Official Tank Thread

Need a top 4 pick badly.

i'm good with either one of Hagens, Martone, Misa, Schaefer.

Need no.1 : elite talent. I think all four of them have it.

Need no.2 : No.1 center. Misa and Hagens have the potential to be that.

Need no.3 : Size and grit on the top 6. Martone

Need no.4 : Top 4 RHD. Thre is no such thing on the top 10 in this draft but if we draft Schaefer, Guhle becomes that top 4 RHD we need.

So Schaefer is probably the least of our needs but he is so good, and imo, is the one that has the better chances at being a superstar (no.1 D), that i wouldn't even be mad if we end up picking him at 1OA.

One of the reason i'm so high on Misa is that he check all 3 of our need. Elite skill, play center and at 6ft1 he has NHL size. Beside Hagens, you get skill and size with Martone, Misa and Schaefer (6ft 1+).

Yeah, I can't fathom watching the game and cheering for them to lose. Like watching a colonoscopy – it might be necessary but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it. The past three seasons I cheered for losses from a safe distance, checking the score without watching the game.

Problem is our forecheck is less interesting than my colonoscopy

If we get to pick top 3 who do you draft?

I would have to go with Schaefer.

Don't see a true top Center in this draft unfortunately!

 

[rahad]

Of course we win after creating the tank thread lol. Next year, we need to create it in October.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Why can't McKenna be draft eligible this year ffs!

 

[HabsCode]

Can’t lose em all. A win here and there is good for the spirit of this board

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Yup. I said I thought they might win this one. Thursday likely a different story.

 

[MD thaivuN]

we scored so many goals this game, you just know the well is gonna dry for the next few games

 

[Anardil]

Can't Lose 'em all... If Skinner was still there, you just know that he would have scored at least 2 to help the Habs Tank.

 

[expy]

Hughes needs to find us new goaltenders (excluding Fowler).

 

[The Last Red]

If HuGo truly wants Hagens, just start Primeau every 2nd or 3rd game.

 

[BozoTheClown]

We need a San Jose OT win over Philadelphia and a Nashville win.

 

[SlafySZN]

We need a San Jose OT win over Philadelphia and a Nashville win.

San Jose are now in front of us even if they lost in the shootout i think?

SJ OTL

 

[WinterLion]

Calgary winning.... That's good...

3pts for SJS & PHI good too!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

San Jose are now in front of us even if they lost in the shootout i think?

Yes. San Jose passed us with OT point. Montreal is back down to 31st.

Nashville losing 2-1 to Colorado.

You may not like it, but accept it!

Nope, not doing it, as I said this team is better than what they've shown thus far. I have all the patience in the world for this rebuild and realize we're going to struggle at times, but IMO this year was all about being a transitional one with progress across the board, that is/was the expectation.

We've epically struggled out of the gate, but I'm positive this team will turn it around and all this handwringing and moaning about the state of this organization and it's coaching will be seen as nothing more than emotional hot takes that will be looked at as silly in hindsight.

Can it be better? Absolutely. Will it get better? I'm of the belief it will.

Dach, shaking off the dust as the season progresses will help immensely, Slaf rounding back into form as well, (seems traditionally like a slow starter) Laine will help, the young D will progress etc..

All is fine. It may have it's ugly moments, but a rebuild is gonna be that way at times.
