Confirmed with Link: Kovalchuk (50% retained) to Washington for a 2020 3rd

[c3z4r]

Excellent, now onto Folin, Thompson, Weise and maybe Cousins.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Just a slight reminder.....there is a 50 contract limits. WE have a gazillion of prospects scheduled to arrive in the near future. At WORST, this team needs a f*ckING ECHL AFFILIATION!!!! You know? A team that is supposed to build THROUGH THE DRAFT to not have a ECHL team...

Damn I figured you'd be having an orgasm at just the thought of the Habs getting another pick lol

 

[Adam Michaels]

15 picks so far in next draft.

13.

I would like to see another 1st round pick added in that line-up.

 

[ZUKI]

He did so well and yet the team is worse every year the more moves he makes.

8 years ago, Habs section was the worst one, and parity wasn't that tight . Now , look at the standing and you will see that top NHL teams are in the East and in our section Boston and Tampa . Than you will see Washington and Pittsburg . Do i need to explain more about that fact ?

Few years ago , our center corp was Dagenais, old Plekanec, Eller and i don't even remember who . Now it is Suzuki, Danault, KK, Poelhing . They are good but young, so it takes time .

Our main problem right now is that the back up goalies were not able to help Price ; Kingkaid + Lindgren have a ridiculous total of 2 victories this season and Price is playing too often . Once again,we have a young goalie in the AHL that isn't too far but that have to play and beleive me, Primeau is going to be a very good one .

There are several reasons to see that we are going in the good direction , but if you just look at the standing rank , of course you won't see them

Good AHL level players coming up !

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

Given how poorly the Habs have drafted under MB, I don't really care about how many picks if he's still the GM come June.

So our GM hasn't found a backup in 5 years, and you think he's going to take the team in a good direction now? lol

 

[eklund the clown]

Excellent, now onto Folin, Thompson, Weise and maybe Cousins.

Besides trading these scrubs ( oh don't forget Weal) how exactly is this going to make us better next year or in the future?He needs to get rid of bigger names Petry,Weber,Tatar etc. to have any hope for the future

 

[1909]

If Kovy demanded to be traded to a contender by trade deadline. was he only using the Habs as a springboard to do so ?

Maybe IF Habs would be two points from TO, he would had stayed.

 

[japhi]

He was playing 17 mins a game and doing jack shit the past 10 games. As in, invisible. And we got a 3rd for him. Small win but def a win

 

[NORiculous]

His run in Washington is going to prove it.

He will not have a big role in Was. I see him as an insurance against injuries more then anything. A nice depth player for a long run.

 

[Habs10Habs]

I don't see it happening. If I were Kovy, I wouldn't backtrack to any team that traded me away.

IMO, there was an agreement between Kovalchuk and Bergevin. I highly doubt Kovalchuk will hold a grudge, now that he's been traded.

backup goalies?

Not the lack of scoring depth. Not the lack of puck moving D. Backup goalies. Backup goalies?

You have a choice

A near future keeping Tatar, Petry, Weber, Price etc...
OR
A far, far future with a bunch of draft picks

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'm okay with this if...

1) It's to do Kovy a favour
2) We're also shipping out Tatar and Petry

If this is just an assets move and they're still going to try for the playoffs next year. I'd have rather kept Kovy because we actually need someone like him. Still can't say it isn't good value since we basically got a third for nothing.

I wouldn't hold my breath on 2. Maybe one gets moved, but not both. And I doubt even one gets moved.

 

[Riddick412]

Kind of disappointed, but that sums up the season. Late 3rd round would be lucky to make the NHL. Should have kept him for that price... He was the last fun player to watch so the rest of the games are going to be even more boring now.

 

[eklund the clown]

There is no near future.You go all in and hopefully pick up some 1sts and or prospects ala Suzuki type.Continuing along this same old path is not working.Weber is nearing the end and Price is long past his prime.

 

[japhi]

For you guys that are confused, the deal was always to rehab and trade. He was never signing here.

 

[the]

We traded away our best forward for a bag of pucks.

I want everyone to be traded at this point.

 

[HelloBellyvo]

IMO, there was an agreement between Kovalchuk and Bergevin. I highly doubt Kovalchuk will hold a grudge, now that he's been traded.

I agree , we all knew there would be a mutual agreement trade when Kovy signed w the Habs.

The San Jose 4th is what the Habs gave to Buffalo for Scandella. And the Habs don't have their own 7th round pick, they only have Chicago's. They gave up their 7th to Philly for their 7th from last year's draft (The RHP selection).

So the picture I attached in my earlier reply is the current amount of picks they have. 13.

1) 1st: Habs
2) 2nd: Habs
3) 2nd: Hawks
4) 2nd: Blues
5) 3rd: Habs
6) 3rd: Caps
7) 4th: Habs
8) 4th: Ducks
9) 4th: Jets
10) 5th: Habs
11) 5th: Panthers
12) 6th: Habs
13) 7th: Hawks

 

[Fainting Couch]

A third is "almost" nothing.

It can get you a Kovalchuk at the deadline.

 

[Habs Icing]

Kind of disappointed, but that sums up the season. Late 3rd round would be lucky to make the NHL. Should have kept him for that price... He was the last fun player to watch so the rest of the games are going to be even more boring now.

Timmins has been here 17 years but we will not count the last two drafts because the jury is still out on those prospects. These are the players (with NHL time) he picked up in the third round the first 15 years:

O'Byrne 79
Emelin 84
Andrighetto 86
White 66
Weber 73
Fleury 87

He had 16 picks over those years.

 

[Corson27]

Quantity gives you more chances at getting quality

When the chances are taken by a scouting department that knows what it's doing, yes. Alas, it's the habs' scouting department and it relies on the Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe strategy for making player selections at the draft
