But we were only 3 point ahead of Winnipeg and Laine.
There is no guarantee that the Habs would have won the lottery. The Jets lucked into their draft spot.

But the Jets did, didn't they. What difference would it have made if we lost 2 more games? Patrick Laine was the difference. Last year was our chance to tank and we didnt jump on it.

Its not anyways fault the team started so hot. Once Price went down the team was in full tank mode. The record from December on speaks for itself.
Unless you are saying the team should of went into the season after finishing 2nd in the NHL with the idea to finish in last ???
This kind of thinking is so bizarre. It's all dumb luck. So the Habs should have known they needed to finish exactly 6th last instead of 4th, 5th, 7th or 8th? Then to secure Laine they would have told the players they needed to tank for exactly 78 points but with fewer ROW than Winnipeg.
Exactly! Season was done in December, but we couldnt get another 2 losses in the 50 games left?

Nobody with a sence of respect lose on purpose
MB in a tough spot, knows what he needs but will have to pay alot to get it,
i bet he waits until the trade deadline, mean while we suffer with what we have.
If the habs go into a dangerous slump he may have his hand forced. He could deal a little from position of strength right now due to Habs positioning and strong play thus far.
But I think the habs will be fine, wait until the deadline when more cap space is opened up.
Pittsburgh Chicago and recently Toronto.
Let's pretend tanking didn't lead to Stanley Cups for two of these franchises.
If they were trying to tank, wouldn't you think that they would've shut Galchenyuk down who played with a broken hand the last month of the season? And IIRC, Subban was also cleared to play by the team, he himself chose not to.
Everyone knew the top 3 of last year's draft was a gold mine. We knew Price was done for the season by December. Why not try your best to tank???

MB will need to do something, worried about the standings
These team were just bad, the Habs were the same as this year.
I did not know that.
