you are right about Yzerman having an advantage... but all these hemsky streit Benn schlemko semin briere sekac parenteau types of risks signings need to stop... sadly earlier this season after being questioned about streit and hemsky not working out MB said that he would gladly do it again... he just doesn't get it
I don't care about the low risk with potential of high return moves and I actually think Bergevin is good at this. I really do think any GM in the city of Montreal is going to have a hard time getting impact players to sign with us. We got lucky with Radulov and we should of signed him to a 3+ year contract instead of a prove it one year contract. The GM in Montreal (whoever that is moving forward) needs to focus on draft picks and not trade them away. This is really our only way we are going to address the holes in our line-up. The Hero or Zero evaluation from the fan base and tax situation turns a lot of players away.
It's better to build through the draft and we are doing that but it takes time. Moving forward, it's pretty simple. Trade Vets on expiring contracts and draft, draft, draft. We are turning the corner with our prospect pool but we lack grade A prospects. We need to do well in the next draft with the picks we have and cross your fingers the draft is deep like they say it is.... deep enough that gems slip into the 2nd round!
I don't care about Patch and his family. He has been a good player for us but he has bailed when we need him. Trade him on draft day please. He is not giving us a home town discount on his next contract. Forget about it. He is going to say all the right things to the media but he is not happy with how he has been treated but too bad for him. We need a captain that can lead us, not disappear when we need him.
