Jury is still out on Newhook IMO, and Dach I feel is more just a series of unfortunate circumstances that derailed his development.

Dvorak, yeah, that’s an overpay.
If you trade a 1st and 2nd for a small non physical one dimensional player like Newhook, you should get at least 50 points. I think Dach was/is not serious about his hockey career and what it takes to be a consumed professional and management didn’t do their due diligence. As far as Dvorak goes, again the organization was trying to filled a void they could not filled for way too many years and overpaid.

3 1st, 2 2nd and 3rd for less than 80 points is brutal.

Dvorak fought a Concussion in year 1 with the Habs, Tore his ACL in year 2 and last year tore his Pectoral muscle! I think he had another torn ACL in London! Really cut him down here in Montreal. But you can definitely see the skill lately. Looks a step quicker.
 
Not going to happen with the cap going up.

Remember that within 3 years we wasted 3 1st, 2 2nd and 3rd for 3rd line players in Dvorak, Dach and Newhook. Just imagine what we get for those assets with proper scouting.
Yes we can, lots of talent available. Sabres have 4 RFA, can't keep them all. Peterka and Byron will hit jackpot but Offer sheet McLeod. If you believe in Quinn he could be this year's Holloway. Bourque is good candidate also. Rangers Cuylie another possibility.

A number of UFA available also. Duchene be good signing. Habs have around 12 million in caproom this summer could make some noise on both free agent markets.

Colombus wants their pick back, we can acquire another first. Would make a great draft. Could package all three to move up get a Desnoyers. Or add depth and tenacity to farm and draft Aitchison, Spence, Cootes. Or could flip one pick for good right D
 
People complaining about pausing the game but let's be reality; no one is breaking this in our lifetimes.
I am picking Demidov to do it - and with that:

I picked it first, you picked it last,
Too bad, so sad, you lose, I passed:neener::laugh:

Don't care about individual records really. Stopping play for 5-10 minutes is fine. Don't see the need for a 1 hr stoppage.
 
It's crazy i don't remember anyone complaining about stopping the game when Gretzky broke the record.
If we had social media when Gretzky broke the record, people definitely would have complained because that's what everyone does on social media

I feel like the GM who will sign Marchand next summer will regret it.
Not a leader or a difference maker. I think he signs a humble contract to be honest. Pasta made him rich. He basically got paid fair value his whole career but overperformed a few years from being the third wheel to Pasta-Bergeron. One did everything offensively and one did everything defensively. He just had to be there.
