Do you want me to show you all the teams that had stars that didn't win?

Yes you need great players. We need kk to turn into a bergeron or kopitar type player. We need an elite d, we need elite goaltending.

We don't necessarily need 100 point players.

what for exactly, what point would it proves ???

dunno why you're stuck on the 100 pts. it's not the 80's anymore.

Because the post I initially responded to referenced 100 points.....

excet your post (the one I replied to at least) was talking about superstars, not about the number of points this or that player would get.

look, if you think one needs to get 100 pts to be a superstar, you go ahead, Just so you know, in the last decades there's been years without a single superstar, and some others with only one or two.

We agree, just so you know. Does a 105 point Draisatl help your team more in the playoffs than a 72 point Kopitar? Does Mitch Marner help your team win in the playoffs more than Logan Couture (career high 70pts)

ALL I'm saying is that you dont' need sexy point totals from your top players to have a contending team. NOW AGAIN, I'm not trying to make a case for our current Habs. We are missing 2-3 elite players at key positions.

But just because we probably won't be in a position to draft a Nate Mackinnon, doesn't mean that a winner can't be built here.

Superstars are fun to watch but I'll take a winning team anyday.

1993 Muller was 28th overall in scoring, lebeau was around 50th

Again, not comparing teams but elite offensive totals are not a prerequisite for a winning team - depth at all positions is

Nobody says it was a prerequisite.

Does not mean its exactly smart to go 35 years and counting without one.

I would rather have a winning team than a team with superstars.

But its not against the rules to have both. Sometimes it appears some Habs forget that.

I would love to have both.

I would love to have one of the two.

Damn. Can the Sens catch a break with all this off-ice drama?

Oh, wow. Melnyk is the new Harold Ballard. Bets money at a casino to try and win a jackpot in the hopes of presenting an OS? That club needs to be put under trusteeship.

If this really happened, there is probably a lot more we don’t know about.

I would usually say not way it happened it's a made up story but it's Melkyk we are talking about so it's probably true.

Lebrun said other day Point contract talks at an impasse. If so, helps us. HOpefully he misses the season. Staying healthy, having everybody signed and having a happy dressing room gives an advantage in this league of parity
