What does that do for this team winning? Habs will never win with Danault in the top 6. This might literally be my last year following this team. Over 20 years and Bergevin has completely ruined hockey for me
Tune in tonight for the caps vs boston game, thats hockey. Hockeys still awesome. Its the Habs fandom that was ruined by Bergevin and his sycophants.
I wasn't quoting you because I was disagreeing with your assessment; I was simply attempting to add to it...I do, however, disagree that Hughes would have been the right pick...he does nothing to impress me, even now...his offensive instincts and talent is phenomenal, but outside of the O-zone, he's an absolute train wreck and may just be the softest player I've ever seen play in the NHL; Christ, guys like Mete look like Chris Pronger compared to how Stay Puft soft Hughes is...even his decision-making makes me nervous when he's on the ice; it's like he only sees the game from the opponent's blue line in and the other 2/3rds of the ice don't exist...anyways, just wanted to clarify that I agree with the post I originally quoted from you and just added my own take to it...
If that happens, it will be the straw that breaks this camel's back. I've sat back and supported and argued for this organization as I watched my friends drop them like a hot potato.
I do, its when the canes burned us in 2006, you know 15 years ago with a 22 yea old staal that had come back after an entire year in the minors to record a 100 point season and 28 points in 25 PO games. He did have some good numbers lastyear, so there is hope.

Maybe the plan is to show KK that when they send him back to the AHL next season it was for his own good, like Eryuck Staaled. See I knew there was a reason we traded for him. At 20 years old Staal had 31 points in 81 games...You know thats why KK is a bust at 20 with 20 points in 56.
Can't believe people still bring up +/-
You want some advanced analytics
We have been through this. We already showed how he isn't getting all these tough matchups that some of you are imagining. There was a huge debate about Mcdavid and danaults uselessness against him.
And we had to get this D specialist and waive Mete, because ...umm. Vet?
Nothing wrong with 1.6. Being above zero on those relative numbers means that he's driving the play positively vs his teammates. 1.6 isn't bad at all. Esp when you're 20 and people here are saying sucks ass. And this is after a terrible slump where he's played relatively poorly. Those numbers have taken a beating lately and he's still well into positive territory.
They aren't THAT stupid.
If KK does get moved (and who knows what happens there) it will be interesting to see what happens with him. Does he become Lars Eller (his absolute floor) or does he become another John Leclair like fiasco? I think any time who picks him up and plays him with some talented wingers will be handsomely rewarded.
No one is expecting Staal to be our #2 C today or in the future. And how about we bitch and moan about DD's playoff lineup once it's released. Right now we got posters claiming KK is on his way out either through trade or the expansion draft. Let's wait and see what DD does for the whole run of the playoffs.
My original post (a couple of pages back) was directed at a poster who claimed that KK was playing well enough to not hurt the team. It had nothing to do with Staal vs KK.
