Is there a team that needs Lafreinere more than the Habs

[JabbaJabba]

Ottawa should have him.

 

[thedustman]

If you look at the Atlantic division

The Leafs have
Matthews
JT
Marner

Boston has
Berg
March
Pasta

Tampa has
Point
Stamkos
Kuch

I honestly can’t think of a team that needs Laf more than the Habs, can you?

Lmao, what is this thread?

lol, love that you stopped at the three best teams in the Atlantic. Detroit and Ottawa could sure use a player of his ilk more than Montreal.

 

[behemolari]

Montreal already has 3rd overall centre, Pens will get him

 

[sandysan]

The Habs would probably just trade him away for a disgruntled winger that they hope to turn into a center.

That stings. It stings becuase it is true.

 

[sandysan]

Montreal already has 3rd overall centre, Pens will get him

The pens have Montreal's OTHER 3OA center

 

[saska sault]

Detroit could use him, we basically have 1 line plus 1.5 players outside of him.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Coyotes need him more because they need offense and to finally become a good team so more fans would go to games.

 

[koteka]

The Jackets could have a line of Dubois, Lafreniere, and Texier so people could spend hours on message boards arguing over a nickname for the line. English speakers could be tacky. French speakers could be serious.

 

[daver]

Since the Pens missed out on McDavid, they are due.

 

[sparxx87]

Tough to say, but I’m hopeful he ends up in Montréal or Ottawa.

Business, personal, professional... either of those two would be good for everyone.

...and another elite player in the Atlantic.

 

[Lshap]

There’s plenty teams and fanbases that need/deserve Lafresne more. But I doubt there’s a fanbase that wants him as badly as Montreal.

This may be Leafs and McDavid all over again. Just hope the Habs fans stay classy and don’t **** all over Lafresne and the team that drafts him cause of butt hurt feelings forever.

Your first sentence is 100% accurate and, as a Habs fan, our market's occasional outburst of tribalism embarrasses me. The majority of Habs fans have moved on from the quaint notion of having a heritage team, but that vocal minority... good grief.

As for your second sentence, why would Habs fans be more upset than anyone else if he goes elsewhere? It's not like the kid chooses his draft position.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Umm Detroit

 

[Cotton]

Any team but Carolina.

As far as the question goes, Ottawa.

 

[Burke the Legend]

Holy overreaction to a one goal loss + empty netter on a second half of a back-to-back.

You should see the Habs board...Even people at work this morning making all kinds of dumb comments. Total lack of perspective in this stupid city. We really need more big league sports teams.

 

[Sasso09]

arizona ?
at least until the prodigal son returns

Couturier isn't going to Arizona.

 

[sandysan]

Couturier isn't going to Arizona.

either is matthews
(probably)

 

[boredmale]

Isn't Lafreinere a LW? I think if their was one position Montreal doesn't really need it's LW(not saying that Lafreinere wouldn't be an improvement)

The team has been mediocre for years can't blame the fans for being pissed the team isint good. When's the last time we had a ppg player?

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Why would Habs need Lafreniere? He's a skilled winger.

They need an elite 1 C more, like Quinton Byfield.

Or were you trying to make a point about him being French Canadian? In which case Pastrnak isn't exactly from Boston.

you took the worst example, Boston is well known to take a lot of Massachusetts boi

LW :

Tatar: movable, had an atrocious start of the season
Drouin: had his best moments at RW in Tampa
Domi: plays center atm


so ye, we need LW like Lafrenière

 

[MikeK]

If any team could use that type of injection it's OTT. I feel so bad for that fanbase right now.

 

[Sens With Benefits]

I'd say Arizona, but they will get Matthews back in 5 years.

Quite obviously Ottawa.

Your right. They probably wouldn't. It would be quite pathetic to have missed out on a 1st overall to another team and then hold a grudge about it forever. Only the most entitled fans would do something like that.
