This stretch is soft so if they don't go well above .500, they'll definitely be in the mix for 4th OA.

San Jose has more GP than us. Chicago is awful. Nashville is worse.

Don't see us finishing below those 3.

I can't wait for some of these useless vets to be off the team

Same here. The only thing I want to see besides that the rest of the way out is a second half surge from Dach Newhook Slafkovsky and at least one of Barron or Struble.

Buffalo.... what a sad team. Can't believe they are only one point above us lol. I feel bad for any prospect getting drafted by this team.

Their management is awful. Trading away Eichel, Oreilly, Reinhart. Giving big contract on wanna be player like cliffton, Jokiharju, Samuelsson and cie.
They hope that all of their young kids will developp into nhler. At one point, management need to trade them for immediate help. Washington brought dubois, chychrun and Strome for cheap price.
Kulich, quinn, krebs are like untouchable.
It's like if we building our hope in Montreal on Mesar, Mailloux and beck. At one point. You need better player than that

As the season goes on I'm wondering if Montembeault is going to show fatigue issues where his play dips and won't be as a consistent. He is right now on pace to play 65 games this year as Primeau is becoming unreliable and practically unplayable. The issue is Montembeault has never played more than 50 games as a since turning pro and that was in 2018-19. He has played around the 40 game mark the last few years.

It's a self evident truism that rebuilds last longer when teams don't hit on their high picks.

Slafkovsky is regressing, Reinbacher is injured, and thus the Habs are tanking again. It's sad.

Is taking longer because we have not drafted any franchise player yet. We will see what Demidov bring next year. Is kinda crazy that Bob Gainey had drafted a Vezina winner and a Norris winner. We still have no prospect close to Carey Price.

2022 has a very weak draft year. We will see if Slaf bounce back next season. Good news about Lane Hutson. We are talking about someone who goes in the top 5 in a redraft. Beck will one day become our next Jack Evens.

With Reinbacher multiple injury, I'm more worry about 2023 draft. Again, we will see what he does next season. Him becoming a solid top 3 D is good for us. I still believe trading For Newhook has a mistake. Hope Jacob Fowler can become our #1 goalie in 3-4 years.

2024 has a good year for us with Demidov and Hage.

2025 : Hopefully, we draft in the top 4 and top 11-15 with Calgary pick.

Beck will one day become our next Jack Evens.

Is that meant to be optimistic?

We are talking about a second round pick. What do you expect? Most of the players drafted after the first round don't make it to the NHL. If Beck can become a solid #3-4 Center for us is a good for us.

Do you expect every single player drafted by us in the second round to turn into Lane Hutson?

That's fine

Martone
Misa
Schaefer
Hagens

I'd be fine with any of those 4.

It drops after that but guys like McQueen, Desnoyers are not terrible either.
