Don’t know specifically all of the areas they’re targeting but Florida has taken a major step in that direction last December: Florida Panthers Establish Goaltending Excellence Department
In a top-notch pro league… that is the part we’re I have questions. I have no issue with FLA pick but let someone else take that risk earlier…
I’m looking elsewhere at that price. We aren’t winning cups or becoming contenders paying players like Dubois that much money regardless of the cap increase. We’ll see how much he really wants to be apart of the Habs.
And someone who would be in charge of that whole groupe
We might get a deal on Dubois. Like Rangers did in Kane. Then again Chicago may have done that because it was Kane
HuGo are not going to burn any bridges including their own by going the offer sheet route which is looked upon as an act of treason in this league. It's long be known that there is an unwritten agreement amongst the ownership group that this is a faux pas. Molson ignored that and got his fingers burnt by the mighty Carolina Hurricanes.
He got burned because his GM's assessment was completely wrong , the OS was laughable, and then Dundon wanted to send a message to not F with his team.
He got burned because he signed off on STUPIDITY that no one else in the league would attempt.
Dubois is not worth more than Nick Suzuki and if he wants more he can go elsewhere. I wonder how many points Suzuki would have playing with the linemates PLD gets and has had on a regular basis? Suzuki has been saddled with scrubs for much of his tenure here. A frickin revolving door of Drouin Hoffman Anderson Pitlick RHP Ylonen etc. Aside from Caufield and Toffoli he's been blessed with a complete lack of reliable talented wingers.
Molson should have just put himself in Dundons position and ask himself if he'd let Bergevin take his star player for $8.5M per , and he would have put his pen away. But he just played along.
Yet you keep bringing him upMan, when this PLD talk ends either way can't come soon enough
It will only end once he is a Habs....Man, when this PLD talk ends either way can't come soon enough
They already did that last draft with the Romanov+ -> 13th oa+ -> Dach trade chain.This quote from KH in today's Sportsnet article makes me think we're trading the FLA pick.
"I do envision there’s a time coming soon where a pick that we’ve acquired becomes a trade asset instead of a future player."

I think it is more likely than not that we trade the pick (assuming it's not top 10). I could see us trading away some prospects/young players on top of the pick, we are overcrowded.This quote from KH in today's Sportsnet article makes me think we're trading the FLA pick.
