Will he get picked up?? I see Ryan Sproul on waivers... always thought he'd amount to something...another Right hand shot D...
Subban was a ridiculously bad reach when they took him in the first round, and he hasn't developed. It's hard to get worked up over the risk of exposing a non-factor like Malcolm.
I don't remember if it was a reach (I thought he was considered a potential late 1st round pick, no?), but I hated the pick because I hate drafting goalies in round one. Felt like a wasted pick in the moment, especially since they had a young, number 1 goalie already. Unless they had him as a top 5 talent, stay away from the position that early.
I'd rather a team use all of their later rounds picks 5-7 to draft a bunch of goalies and see if any stick.
That exactly proves the point that there arr always good goalies available. Always, and they dont have much trade value.I'm still upset that the leafs wasted the 21st overall pick in the 05 draft on some unknown athletic Finnish goalie...
Montreal trolls the Bruins and picks him up. Price gets hurt and Subban becomes a monster for them....could happen.

Glad to see that Bruins management has the courage to potentially admit that a former 1st round pick was a mistake. I hope they can keep this trend up in the future.

Yes and no. TR was a first round pick and legitimately so. Toronto just sucked so bad for so long they didn't have patience to wait for the development. Instead they went with the RoY in Raycroft, who rumor had it wasn't even in plans for B's after falling off cliff the next year.That exactly proves the point that there arr always good goalies available.
