Montreal is the worst team in the league.

[Tavares to Marner]

MTL fell down because they've always been mediocre (past 10 years) and now their paying for it

Though will admit that run they had with Halak was legendary

Habs your agony sustains me

I don't even know whose pain is greater at this point - ours or yours. You might think you have hope, but really it could be another several decades before one of these teams wins.

I challenge you to back that dum* comment. Show me french media went overboard with Drouin the day of the trade while the educated English media called for caution.

Latter part i agree with: the part about "the fan base"...

You're right. In the case of Drouin it was clearly the fans parading him as our future first line C . Media was rather quiet on this subject you're absolutely right.

The Gazette: This doesn’t look like a bad trade by Bergevin, since offence has been the Canadiens’ biggest problem for a very long time. Drouin, who was the No. 3 overall pick by the Lightning at the 2013 NHL Draft, has some amazing offensive skills

TSN: Drouin gives the Canadiens a much-needed dose of offensive upside and creativity.

Everybody was happy. Now the whiners are whining.

Did you think this was a good trade when it was made? The best D prospect on a pitiful aging d core for a powerplay winger that couldn't crack the C spot or get significant ES time on Tampa?

Yes, Montreal is the worst team in the league.

I was surprised. I thought Sergachev was an untouchable. I was not sure about Drouin's attitude but i ended up believing it was a win faster move. Thought he could play center since most columnists and fans agreed. Habs needed both scoring and young d. First year results not so great.

But never played the french stuff angle.
This was a plus for everybody the day of the trade.
Now its the big thing.

Get a better 1c than Danault (rather easy). Play him with Drouin. Improve.

Not sure i read you well. Go back to the Confirmed with link thread. You will see happiness all around.

But check especially if there is a french angle to the trade. You wont find much if any.

Still worries about 1c for a few but you will find some with the Drouin-Galchenyuk elite level 1c-2c combo.
