People want to see how that management is either dumb, stupid, or totally disconnected from reality (or all of the above)? They say how great they are based on the players that are with us.....here's the list. Nicolas Deslauriers, Nikita Scherbak, Byron Froese, Daniel Carr, Noah Juulsen, Brett Lernout, Michael McCarron, Charlie Lindgren, Rinat Valiev, Zachary Fucale et Jakub Jerabek.
So....yeah Deslauriers is a fine story. That trade looks good now. A good 4th/13th forward that will NEVER change the outcome of any game though. And then...I really really hope Carrière do not take any merit for him or Lefebvre for Deslauriers' progression....he played 14 freakin games. I also remember how a steal Dale Weise was not that long ago. How's that going? Then, Scherbak is showing some nice things. TRue. Froese should not be a Habs next year. Carr might not be either. Juulsen is struggling now and while he has not ended his progression, we will have to wait to see what his potential really is. Lernout might be a fine #6. McCarron will be gone. Lindgren might be beaten by Niemi with a 1-way contract next year. Valiev will be gone. Fucale is a gone. And Jerabek is gone.
He's saying that out of 11 players that wore the Rocket jersey, 6 stayed with the Habs and that is the most POSITIVE thing. Really? A team that might be choosing top 5.....the most positive thing is that players from the AHL team went to the Habs because there were injuries and because the season meant nothing. Hey Carrière...you know what a real achievement wouldu be? It would be if we would clearly go for the Cup next year and KEEP those players in the lineup because they are so good. Note though that if we don keep a majority of those, it won't mean that you did such an awesome job....it means that we are going hard for Hughes.
