I can't believe this vote is even close. We haven't had a no. 1 pick since 1980. Haven't had an elite superstar forward since...umm...Lafleur?
We've had some great players over that time - Naslund, Richer, Damphousse, Turgeon, Recchi, Koivu, Kovalev - but no one truly elite.
Alexis will be that. He's got all the tools, but beyond that, he has "it". That special something that only a few players have. His dynamic, game-breaking presence would completely alter our team.
Winning the lottery would be the best thing that could happen to this team since 1993.
While I understand why some fans hate Bergevin, firing him won't do nearly as much for the organization as Lafreniere, simply for the fact that there's no GM that could replace Bergevin that would have as positive an impact as Lafreniere would have.
