HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: Off-Season Edition

[salbutera]

Ah okay. I thought you mean you weren't expecting Gauthier in Philly.

Yea, I can see why you wouldn't expect Farrell to be there. But apparently, there is a reason he's not there.

Isn’t there a rule that drafted NCAA players can only attend development camp 1-time unless they’re signed to a contract, thus, negating college eligibility?

Was this a case of Briere not being familiar with the rules?

 

[DAChampion]

Most wanted Tkachuk

Not true.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Not true.

Definitely not true. Most wanted the consensus #3 pick zadina, because he was the consensus #3 pick.

Then we all convinced ourselves that kotkaniemi was a great pick

 

[McGees]

Most wanted Tkachuk

nope.
like 3 people here did.
90% wanted Zadina (including me - but would have been ok with Ketchup or KK)

 

[Big Lurk]

nope.
like 3 people here did.
90% wanted Zadina (including me - but would have been ok with Ketchup or KK)

True. Nobody wanted Tkachuk. Everyone said it was the safe vanilla low ceiling pick. Most wanted Zadina indeed.

 

[HuGort]

I was Tkachuk. I didn't want KK because against late risers after Kostitsyn.

No, Hutson was there last and this year as an example.

I think you might be thinking of the college kids have to pay their way to camp.

They also don't go to the camp in September as school has started

No Gauthier no Michkov

Where did you ses this rule? Hutson, Smilanic, Tuch, Biondi, Smith, Pitlick all attended 2 or more development camps.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Not really.

HF Habs: - Final Team Board Draft Poll - Pick #3

Since the official HF Team Boards Draft in April, alot of debate has gone on over the course of the weeks and perhaps opinions have changed. With the draft coming up in just two weeks, thought it'd be interesting to see where the board stands.

Now, while you're at it, you can simply delete the Michkov bookmarks, because he has 100x Zadina's talent. It's a lame 1= 1 comparison. I had good reasons to think Zadina would flop. If teams passed on Michkov, it's not necause they thought he'd flop and more has to do with lockerroom dynamics, his character and that Russian thing.

I highly doubt he will bust.

I also did not spot your name in the votes. It's one thing to call back people on their votes when you picked the right one(s), but it's another thing altogether when you don't wet yourself and then do the same.

Pretty fun reading through that thread as we see just how "knowledgeable" our fan base is. Many posters have barely seen the prospects yet make boisterous claims about them.
We see that every year. To be so convinced in one's own opinion (which is mostly based on other people's opinion or only a few games watched) and yet be so wrong.
It will happen again this year.

 

[waffledave]

Not true.

I had said I wanted Tkachuk and I was told I was a f***ing idiot because Tkachuk had a low ceiling and no elite skills.

 

[waffledave]

Any interest in signing this goalie out of the KHL?

Yes.

But I don't think we have the long term vision for it.

And you weren't. I was wrong on Tkachuk.
