That's the sign of a healthy franchise right there!
Tampa seemed pretty healthy last year with Dom

He was an off the board pick that surprised many people. Maybe he wasn't deserving of the 3rd overall pick? Hab fans can defend him but he has completely stunk this season and a big chunk of last season. Hab fans are notorious for over valuing their youth. You guys claimed Brookes was an elite top pairing player and KK was a top line centre. Your GM made the cardinal mistake of passing on BPA for a need passing on Brady and Quintin was just dumb on his part. Poeling another kid that anointed God after 1 game. Thank God I refused to adhere to my French Roots and chose to follow the Nucks when we moved here in the 80s. To see what looks like a team with zero future with such a rich history sucks.that would be a terrible move in my opinion
i can hear Bergevon and Julien talking now. hey lets throw a 20 year old into an nhl game behind our sieve like defence. what could go wrong. no chance we shatter the kids confidence right..
The Habs could literally do the same thing, Kinkaid just isn't very good
And if someone claims him Detroit literally couldn't either(unless its Detroit)... not sure what you are struggling with. If habs couldn't trade him with 50% retention what makes you think Detroit can?Well the Habs waived him so if some claims him they literally can't. Plus Detroit needs a goalie for a while.
Price struggles to play at .900 with how the team has collectively been playing defensively. I don't know what they are expecting out of an average backup playing with that same defense?
Kinkaid hasn’t been good but hasn’t been bad either. This move is to make room for Mcniven in the AHL as he’s destroying the ECHL. Lindgren will get called up, Mcniven and primeau will split the goalie job in Laval.
I hope thats not the way you run your life... try anything mentality can turn your team to crap for a decade.
now that was a short lived Habs career...
Cayden Primeau, please stand up....
(he has been called up)
pretty much what is happening in Montreal and with the Media.
let's all pile on KK cause he didin't PPG as a young 19 years old center. Dear god, this is sad...
Assuming he does clear waivers, a smart move for Bergevin if the Leafs are truly after him would be to improve his draft position.
Toronto:
Keith Kinkaid (50% retained)
Florida 2020 5th round pick
Montreal:
Hutchinson
Colombus 2020 3rd round pick
Maple Leafs 2021 7th round pick (MB loves these).
Leafs move back two rounds and surrender a 7th in a weaker draft in exchange for a guy that was borderline a starter not so long ago but that needs a fresh start.
Lots of talk on this in Mtl right now. Interesting thoughts coming out this time, though:
- some think this is a smoke screen to change the focus of Mtl's media pressure
- some think this is a lose-lose for Primeau, who would come into a situation where if he wins lots , fans call for Price's head and if he loses, fans caall for management's head and criticizes development
- some hopefuls think this is going to be a story like Hart or Billington
I hope they don't bring up Primeau. He will let in three goals or more in two games and fans will start bashing him and say he's a bust like Kotkaniemi.
They didn't trade up for that pick?Well that's what happens when you go 3rd overall in your draft class, the expectations are that much higher. Blame MB for that he traded up the get kotkaniemi when they could have stayed pat and still drafted him

Wow. Actually no they don't. They are all pretty good players.. something is just unstable there and needs to be addressed without a bandaid.Yeah I don't say when the team goes well and 1/2 goalies suck... but all of Montreal sucks including the goalies

The 2020 is said to be strong, the 2021 I have heard it would be weaker. But who knows, those things only play out 10+ years post-draft.Weaker draft? I've haven't heard anyone say this is a weaker draft. All I hear is P. McGuire saying you hoard picks in this draft.
I misread your post thought you were implying 2020 was weak. My bad.The 2020 is said to be strong, the 2021 I have heard it would be weaker. But who knows, those things only play out 10+ years post-draft.

Are you seriously proud of that ?Thank God I refused to adhere to my French Roots and chose to follow the Nucks when we moved here in the 80s.
