For sure... but the lottery being what it's like, who knows? I wouldnt be mad if we finished outside of the bottom 5, we would still get 22-25% chance at a top 3 picks
the new lotto rules are crazy but if we finish 10-14 it's highly unlikely we win and move up meaning we would be screwed out of what could set us up for a decade to come. If we want to be a cup conteder, to be able to run with TB, leafs, boston just in our own division, we are going to need a lot of help in terms of getting a legit star player at both forward and defense.
At least, no big time UFA (Tavares, Stasny, etc) was signed so we're going through a rebuild right now, which might be a full blown one if Pacioretti and one or Price/Weber is traded. No matter what, it's a rebuild. So at the end of the summer, when I'll turn on my TV to watch the Habs, I don't want to look at this team and wish for them to lose. What I hope has no effect on the team and I don't want to spend a whole year coming here to laugh at Bergevin and hope to see them lose. That being said, I'll be more than happy if we draft 1st overall next year.
I'm excited because Armia and Peca get a new chance here and they'll probably have a lot of opportunity to prove themselves. I wish them a lot of success with us, some players can exceed expectations in the right team, on the right line, etc.
yep we suck so bad that no UFA would consider us, that's a bonus of sorts and I'm glad we didn't have another Alzner. I do think Pac gets traded so the return there will be very interesting. Price isn't going anywhere until he wants to and even then he's going to be very tough to move since it will be on his terms so that lessens his value. Weber if he stays healthy and looks good hopefully gets us a 1st at some point.
I won't wish for them to lose, never did, never will, I just won't watch them cause I can't stand Julien, MB, Molson. I don't come on here to laugh at MB cause it's so sad it makes me want to cry how f***ed we are for god knows how long but sometimes you got to just laugh at just how badly a job has been done over the past few years.
I think Peca, Armia, Reilly will all do well, I think they were good pickups, but I worry greatly that MB will do more damage and this team will be just bad enough to miss out on a great chance to finally get us a legit star center.
