Habs cup - its in the BAG
I really can't stand retroactive drafters.
"Why didn't we draft Shea Weber in 2003 !"
"Why didn't we draft Travis Zajac in 2004 !"
"Why didn't we draft Jamie Benn in 2007 !"
"Why didn't we draft Chris Kreider in 2009 !"
I actually remember the 2009 draft coverage. Fans were talking about Jordan Shroeder, not Chris Kreider. If it were Shroeder doing better than Leblanc they would have an actual point.
I wanted Josefson then Kreider. Looks like Kreider should have been ahead of Josefson in hindsight, but some of that I blame on the Devils for rushing Josefson.
I've been sleeping on Leblanc since he was picked in '09. Don't think I'm gonna wake up any time soon. It's ok, I understood the pick, it was 2009 in Montreal, Timmins was getting flak for always going the college route and here was a local boy playing in the USHL going to Harvard. There was little choice for Timmins to take anyone else on the board. I hoped very hard that someone would take him before us but alas, it was not meant to be. He's done little to prove me wrong since. I just don't see a spot for him on this team. He may find his way on the bottom lines of some weaker teams in the league.
