Or we get another Scherbak, Julsen, McCarron, etc... Win some, lose lots more.

Using exceptions as examples of draft policies isn't that great.

Is it exceptions if the same team keeps doing it?

Oettinger
Robertson
Stankoven
Hintz
Bourque
Johnston

They have been doing an excellent job of finding core players out of the top 10. We need to find a way to ensure we do the same.

I would add Thomas Harley to that list and while we are at it...this Dallas team drafted Jamie Benn in the 5th round in 2007. I live 20 minutes from the Texas Stars venue, the HEB Center and everything they do with the minor league team is first rate. The HEB Center looks like an NHL rink minus the upper bowl. They draft well but it can't be understated how well they develop their young players.

I’m going off what I’ve read online. I don’t have an exact answer. I added “if true” to my post.
What's online is he tested positive for drugs but it could be cocaine.

They didn’t seem to victimize him, it was his teammates who they felt were victimized.

Brutal for this to happen in the playoffs.
Specially after Landeskog retiring at 28.

His old power lifting buddy Timmins is already with Columbus, so Bergy wouldn't even need to look for a new spotter at the gym :thumbu:

I'm not surprised. Bergevin does have flaws but I do think he was better in the last 1/3 of his tenure than he was in the middle 1/3. Some of our best pieces comes from Bergevin (like it or not)... Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle, Roy.

The real question is has he learned from his mistakes.

Wonder if it's a coincidence Kings turned into a joke after MB joined.


Trade him Josh Anderson and Gallagher for Laine.

I do wonder what the price is for Laine. You would assume Dvorak is part of the package because the Blue Jackets need centers.

Dvorak and Anderson with the Jets pick and one other youth/futures piece. Would love to See Laine with the Habs and what MSL can do to motivate him. Problem is it's only 2 years so it doesn't really fall with our core build-up around Suzuki, Slaf, Dach, Caufield.
