I am a bit surprised, but relieved because I do not want the CH to implode. I am ok with MB getting the chance to repair the damage done by recent errors in evaluation and losing some long-shots.
+1, I heard an interview with Bobby Smith on the radio a few weeks ago, he sounded like a good candidate. I hope Molson starts looking for a plan B in case MB crashes and burns next season.
+1, I posted a similar view earlier this season. I agree with you on this
+1, The draft years when we did not have 2nd round drafts (from Gainey/Gauthier era) and some mistakes (like McCaron being drafted too early) play into how few prospects we have.
But I think Timmins can pull it off in 2018.
