GDT: Kent Hughes / Jeff Gorton / Geoff Molson Press Conference Jan 19, 4:00 PM ET

[Andy]

An interesting target on the UFA market this summer could be Andre Burakovsky.

Will be 27 this summer. 6'3 200 pounds.

31 points in 34 games. Among the best in the league for One-Ice expected goals%, monster corsi and fenwick.

Find a way to trade Drouin and Toffoli and you get yourselves 10M$ in cap space. Enough to sign this guy.

Burakovsky is successful because of the team he plays on. I watched a lot of him in Washington, he’s a frustrating player. He’s in the Drouin category of talented, but hair pulling. Don’t get distracted by his success on a highly skilled Colorado team

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'll grab some excellent quotes from the athletic article shortly.

He's intelligent.

 

[sandviper]

Dude, were you in the locker room during the playoffs?

This was reported after game 4 vs Toronto.

 

[dcyhabs]

Patrick and Bergevin have nothing in common.

Ego problems? Roy’s is more justified by his playing days.

 

[Habs13]

There will be alot of pain and losing that we will witness as they attempt to unf@$k the 10 years of pure incompetence.

I hope folks are patience

You're right. Of course you are, however, we are Habs fans... there are people on this board that have never known a winning Habs team. Buddy at work is 27 years old, has never known a good Habs team! So, yeah, it'll be filled with losing at first, but what else is new?

We survived a decade of bargain bins! We can survive anything! Woo! LETS GOOO!!
