Player Discussion Former Habs & Picks watch: Gone but not forgotten (No Current NHLers)

[LeHab]

With preseason games starting, time to keep an eye on former Habs. May well be more exciting than watching Habs current edition.

A few notable playing elsewhere:

Galchenyuk
Pacioretty
Radulov
Eller
Subban
Sergachev
McDonagh

KHL:
Markov, Desharnais, Emelin & Kostitsyn bros

Good luck to everyone, don't hurt us too much.

I think you forgot Logan Shaw.

There are more for sure (DSP, Andrighetto...). Kept the more notable. Maybe add Halak, Vanek.

God Damn, how long into this rebuild, retool/not a rebuild phase before we get to see players of the calibre that we have thrown away?

Now that we have Kotkaniemi and Suzuki wouldn't it be nice to have Sergachev back.

And Subban and Radulov and Eller.

God damn it hurts

While players come and go, to lose all of that talent and have basically nothing to show for it aside from draft picks... Inexcusable. Terrible asset management.

Jim Nill said of the Seguin deal, "you don't buy talent like this at Walmart prices" he also went on to include Benn and Radulov and Klingberg in the same interview.

Depends how one defines notable.

I mean, take someone like Weise. He wasn't a top flight player but he was sure memorable.

Add Steve Mason

In the meantime, add Greg Pateryn.

 

[Habs]

Don’t forget Dubnyk and kassian.

Was it because of eternal Subban vs Weber comparison? Hope people are past the anger stage of grieving. Seems like most have moved to the depression stage.

Feel free to name more players. Like I said, the list is not meant to be exhaustive.

BTW. Markov 1g 2a in 6 KHL games.

Desharnais with 29 penalty minutes in 6 games? Who did he try to goon?

 

[OldCraig71]

Is Halak still playing?

[Paddyjack]

We lost a Carr to Vegas.... but then got back a Suzuki. We are fine....

I miss Dale Weise, wish they'd bring him back.

This, by far, is the most impressive image juxtaposition I have ever seen. And it goes beyond just the images.

I believe this is the poster who came up with it -- he added the following comment to the pic:

He's not just a Hab, he's almost a Habsburg.

Just google the Habsburgs and you'll see how they were a thing.

When you look at the list in it's entirety, it is a bit shocking.

Was just thinking, “wow a group of players I actually like” sad times ahead.
