Can we once get lucky and ****ing get Dahlin? T.O got Matthews, would only be fair
Let's wait. Hughes or Lafreniere would be better
I think he would trade Dahlin for Crosby, that's how much of an idiot Bergevin is. Or even worst, Toews.
Zadina or Svechnikov would be great yes, but they wouldn’t be game changers or potential franchise players like Dahlin. They are great complimentary players.Statistically, they had the best chance at Matthews, but yeah, luck is always in the cards for the lottery. Dahlin would be awesome of course, but top-3 period would be great as either Svechnikov or Zadina would be great additions.

Hey, let me just ask you since you mentioned their names... I know both are still U18 but what's your feeling in terms of how they rate against each other?
with a poorly build D, a basically empty prospect pool, no C depth at all, that's what the near future looks like for the Habs anyway, miserable...If they do a Leafs tank that's5 years of misery or a Bruins rebuild which looks good for now but I am not so sure in 1-2 years
Any team is good enough to win games in this league. A ton of our players are seriously under performing. Carey Price. Drouin. Pacioretty. etc
It's too easy to say "well this team sucks it can't win game so by virtue of that we have no chance".
also - nobody has sold off assets yet. Not even Buffalo or Arizona. That usually starts closer to trade deadline. Selling assets off may actually make us win more games too.
It's hard to say right now and I generally only really dig into players in their draft years. Right now both are doing remarkable things for their age.
Hughes is a C tho where Lafreniere has been playing wing. So in terms of Habs, if I had to pick just one it would be Hughes right now. On the other hand if you get Lafreniere and he's a franchise player. The Franco only base will be enamored enough to let other things slide.

Since 2012:
The Leafs picked:
#5 in 2012
#8 in 2014
#4 in 2015
#1 in 2016
The Habs picked:
#3 in 2012
#9 in 2016 (Turned into #3 in 2013)
Add another top 10 pick for 2018
So after this season, The Habs will only have one top 10 pick less than the Leafs in the last 6 drafts.
Do we realy need 4-5 more years of high drafting to do what the leafs did?
The Leafs traded a 1st round pick + 2nd round pick right in their "rebuild".
Kessel and Phaneuf trade hasn't really pay any dividend so far (Although Kapanen is starting to shine)
The Leafs draft a C with Nylander, a C with Marner, a C with Matthews. They needed a C and got one
The leafs traded 2 picks for a goaltender, cause they needed a goaltender and they got one.
Starting goaltender, Good C, Good top D. Every teams needs that to perform.
Our Bergevin traded for wingers, drafted wingers and sign UFA wingers......but that's not what the team needed.
Habs need to get what they need. It's pretty simple.
A couple of days ago there was an article in the Swedish daily GT, there was a video interview and an article, they asked if any NHL teams had been in contact with him and he said that the Rangers and the Kings had been in contact with him.
