So I just finished reading this article recaping Timmins' drafting, http://habsforum.wordpress.com/
all I can say is wow... 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009 were all disasters. He did make up for it with 2007 but to see all the guys we could have got in those years, getzlaf/perry/lucic/o'reilly/giroux, if we only landed just 1 of those guy we might've hung a 25th* stanley cup banner with saku raising the cup!
must admit, I don't get why everyone here gives Timmins a free pass
