HF Habs: Current Standings Thread: Last Place Edition (Top 3 pick Clinched!)

[MarkovsKnee]

I closed the other thread, as it was diverging away from the overall topic of this thread, which is Montreal getting the best draft pick possible. It is a tank thread.

This is NOT the thread to discuss former players that should be reserved for the Out of Town thread. Inappropriate discussion will get deleted, and has the potential for warnings for thread highjacking.

Current Standings: Montreal has clinched a bottom 2 finish & a guaranteed top 4 pick.

Ground Rules for this thread:
• This is the thread where you can cheer against your Habs to improve their draft position. Want to tank? This is your sanctuary.

• If you root against the Habs in GDTs or other threads on the Habs board, you may be warned for trolling.

• Don't bring your anti-tank arguments here or you may be warned for trolling.

• Tank you for your support

Is it pronounced Bedar or BedarD?

 

[pepperMonkey]

Err... $hit the Bed for Bedard?
Well, need to come up with a politically correct version...

 

[rahad]

Agreed. I don't see a multiple year tanking. This year and next is good for me to acquire elite youngsters. We already have a solid base from which to work.

Going forward...

1st 2022 (Wright, Cooley, Slaf)
1st 2023 (Bedard, Michkov, Fantilli, Dvorsky)
Caufield
Suzuki
Romanov
Guhle
Barron
Roy
Kidney
Farrell
Mailloux
Harris
late 1st 2022 (Luneau, Pickering, Korchinski, Miro(?))
late 1st 2023 - whatever that may be
offersheet in summer 2023 for Laf

Let's say the top 5 on that list are either legit top pairing forwards or top pair D

From Guhle down....if we hit on 2 forwards being top 6 and 2 d men being top 4 we are good.

ALL of these pieces are very young.

This is by far the best shape we have been in for a long time. I agree sell the horrible contracts we have at vets and hand the keys to this group above.

mid decade we could ice something like

**** - Wright - Bedard
Roy - Suzuki - Caufield
Farrell - Kidney - ****
Pitlick - Evans - ****

Romanov - Guhle
Harris - Barron
Mailloux - Luneau

We could also miss the playoff of the season of 2024. So add another draft pick from 8-15. If we get lucky, we draft another good player like Caufield in the 2024 draft.

« Lance un dard pour Bedard » would be Bergevin’s choice for sure, the expert dart thrower.

 

[Big Empty]

Play like lard for Bedard.
Hockey is hard…wait for Bedard.
We got charred…now Bedard.
Lower your guard for Bedard.
No honor for Connor.

Lower your guard for Bedard… winner

Tony blocks everyone. He’s so thin skinned for a guy that believes he’s a big media personality. Can’t take a single criticism.

Dude wrote me a paragraph when I said he likes soccer more than the habs

Manger la marde pour Bedard

We could...but I'd prefer to offersheet Laf with that pick

Familly is from Quebec City, Bedard.

 

[themilosh]

This fanbase is ready to blitzkrieg that bitch

That's the spirit. Let's win the lottery.. keep Wright in juniors, dont sign anyone - teade off all vet contracts at deadline, and play with the AHL boys where needed..
Then hopefully we win Bedard next season during our tankathon 2.0.. once done, we can start to add. And build our contender.

 

[themilosh]

Tard pour Bedard?

Re-tard pour bedard!!

 

[themilosh]

Drink like a bedard, for bedard

Petard pour Bedard

 

[BLONG7]

Tank N Hard............For Bedard....

 

[1909]

Familly is from Quebec City, Bedard.

But he is born out west and his own father doesn't even speak French. Maybe his grand father ????

I dunno how they would pronounce his name if drafted and playing in MTL. I think, it would be up to the kid.

 

[Runner77]

Dude wrote me a paragraph when I said he likes soccer more than the habs

He doesn’t like to be reminded of that and yet no one pushes soccer as hard as Marinaro does, to the point of drawing confrontation. Nothing wrong with liking soccer but if he were smart, he’d realize that you attract far more interest in anything when you’re not trying to constantly shove it down people’s throats.

Yep, uncles and grandfather. It's a big family in Quebec City.

I might have dated one of his aunts lol

They’ve already wasted 2 3rd overall picks in 10 years so I’m not even excited for this…and the 1st pick isn’t even guaranteed.

Galchenyuk have been solid top 6 forward for Habs. Put one 30 goal season too. 2012 are a weak draft and Galchenyuk one of the best forward in that draft.

Kotkaniemi have still high potential... If it's not the offer of Carolina, he will be a still a Habs for 2-3 years at 2,5-3,5 per year. He show great flash in playoffs with Habs.

Not that bad... Galchenyuk has been considering even 1st overall without his injury in draft. Kotkaniemi top 5 in rankings on Bob McKenzie list.

Now if Habs draft 3rd... Slafkovsky or Nemec looks pretty amazing young talent with big potential... more hyped with both than KK and Galchenyuk in the past IMO.

if we pick first this year, can we pick first next year as well?

Yes.

Basically gave us Anderson + Dvorak

Just don’t take guys that have massive red flags like those two did.
