I didnt decide anything, its a direct quote from lapointe, doesnt even matter if its the sole reason, its part of the reason, they were wrong, like what are you arguing here
Ill go out on a limb and say he will bust in the nhl . Yes he will score some goals , but he will be very far from an impact player sone expect him to be . Just my opinion …
100pct add to that , even his Russian team seems not tying hard to keep him even if he under contact .
How do you know they passed for that reason ? I say they way more plugged then that . They will not diss the player publicly but i feel they passed way more for his me first attitude . Heck even his Russian team don’t want him .
1 guy from Bergevin era and the other one on the kakko era , ur rightNobody knew he was coming. NOBODY. Not even Grant McCagg!
Not sure why it's hard to believe that we might make some mistakes with Gorton and most certainly Martin Lapointe. I once asked, in 2005, what was Timmins credentials.
I think that question applies WAY MORE to those 2 guys. The only thing working for them is the belief that Gorton and Hughes know more what they are doing than Bergevin.....but Martin Lapointe CV for head scouting????
Who says is perfect? Mcdavid sucks defensively what's the point?
So why complain about it in the only thread where discussing him makes sense?
To be contrarian, a vaste amount of Montreal fan we're bitter they took Reinbacher over Michkov post draft. Playing holier than thou is rewarding for some, as if we should support everything management does because we aren't part of NHL staff.
It is ridicuous to believe he was passed over because it would be years before he came over. he was ppased over because there were questions about his potential or his chatacter.
All that is irrelevant. We don't know why they passed on Michkov. Their concerns may be legitimate and he might then turn things around and be a more valuable player tha he porjected to be at draft time. What is important is whether Reinbacher becomes a valuable asset.
Why is it irrelevant? If Michkov becomes a more valuable asset than Reinbacher, it means management made the wrong choice. Simple as that.
Not really.
Nice galaxy braining here. If Michkov becomes an elite forward for Philadelphia and Reinbacher tops out as a top 4 defenseman for Montreal, there is no alternate reality that justifies the pick of the lesser player at #5. Management will have drop the ball on that one.
if these scouts and GM's could predict the future this kind of crap could be alleviated.
