Nice job by MSL.............he has them going!!
This is just messing up our draft pick. We end up with another Galchenyuk instead of a franchise player like an 18 year old Bergeron type.
Every team whiffed on a guy like that...not to mention at the time of the draft, he admitted he hated the Habs.Bergeron was drafted 45th overall.
Shane Wright is said to be his clone. Go on draft board for more infoBergeron was drafted 45th overall.
Every top-10 draft pick is always said to be some NHLers clone, how many times does it actually come to fruition?Shane Wright is said to be his clone. Go on draft board for more info

He have nothing to do with Daigle, absolutely nothing. Everyone who knows him have a lot of good things to say on his character/Leadership qualities. Daigle.. man I’m from Victoriaville where he played JNR and I have MANY stories that I will keep for myselfWe'll see. Just a few weeks ago, people were shitting on him for his slow first half.
He's closer to Hischier/Hughes/Lafreniere than Matthews/McDavid/Mackinnon.

From the Point: Frontenacs centre Shane Wright – CHL
JHM: How important is it for you to hang on to your first-overall status?
SW: I think it is super important. I think it is something I have still earned and positioned throughout the year. My play throughout the year has shown me to be in that spot. Right now, I need to keep up my play and what I am doing. I think I will be fine. I think I deserve to have that honour right now. The draft is still a long way away and there is a lot of time between now and then, but I am confident with myself and that that is the place I deserve to be.
Daigle vibe.
The reason Marty is there now is to implement his philosophy now before training camp, to get a head start on next season

Dont have to lose on purpose. Stay way it was. St.Louis honeymoon will be burned out by next season.Ok, but what are you going to do?
You'll never get players or coaches to lose on purpose. You can trade assets - and they are. Toffoli gone. I see Chiarot next, good chance other vets maybe Gallagher or Petry go too. We "sat" Price all year when in my opinion, if playoffs were starting in any of ~Dec/Jan/Feb - he'd probably have been playing, so I could see Price/Habs maybe taking their time a bit (ie, help with the tank).
For those who want to tank - all you can really ask for is "trade older vets/bad contracts for picks/prospects" and I think that is absolutely continuing. Beyond that - you can't ask the remaining roster to lose on purpose.
Habs will still finish bottom 5 in league, and then it's about the draft lottery. Maybe we get lucky, maybe we don't.
All you are doing is screwing yourself out of a franchise player. Along with mess up your trade deadline. You can't trade Petry now. These few wins are too late for this season. Time to introduce St.Louis would have been next September.This isn't an issue at all.
- Even if we finish last, we only have a 1 in 6 chance of getting first overall
- There isn't a huge difference in talent in the top 5
- We will be selling off veterans in the next few weeks and wins will be harder to come by after that
- Even if we draft 4th or 5th, we finally have a coach and management who are concerned with developing young players instead of playing veteran plugs like Desharnais/Flynn/Dwight King etc. so odds are better than we will see our prospects properly develop unlike how Galchenyuk/Kotkaniemi were handled

Because you need to be 2 to make a deal. Contending teams doesn’t have money at this time of the year, so not sure they are a lot who call Hughes for PetryWhy can't we trade Petry now? Has he even rescinded his trade request?
If we go from last to 4th last place our odds of getting that 1st OA pick go from 25.7 to 9.7. The idea that it's better to hurt the development of Caufield and Suzuki so that we can go from a 10 to 26 percent chance of getting the 1st OA is nuts.
