  1. No, this is garbage, every team relying on draft lottery to solve their issues have fans reciting the same old "Better positioned for the future" crap. Buffalo has had a "brighter future" than everyone for years, Oilers were going to be contending in a couple of years, FOR YEARS, NJ was going to set the league on fire after drafting Hischier, Hughes, and making the moves they did this summer, only to be forced to rebuild some more, but now with bigger contracts like Subban's on the cap, Toronto was supposed to be a contender at this point, but they can't seem to beat the 1st round or a zamboni driver for that matter, and the list goes on. There are actually much more examples of teams failing to rise from the ashes from lottery picks than there is that do. Pittsburgh and Chicago are the only prime examples where this worked out with actual results to speak of, maybe someone else will join them one of these days but that hasn't happened yet, at all. You didn't see Boston, St. Louis, Washington, Vegas, Nashville, have to crap their pants for several years recently, to reach their status as Elite teams. We seriously need to stop with this dated mentality that if you are the worst team for a couple of years, you will then magically become the best team a couple of years later. There are many ways to achieve an elite team, none of which can be done without very good cap management, trading, signings, drafting, and development. So lets focus on trying to be the best we can be in those areas for a few years and stop focusing on shipping everyone out who isn't nailed down in the locker room.

  2. I'm not sure why you are so disgusted, he has been lighting it up on the PP from the right dot most of the season in Laval, certainly earned a look based on that alone. It's not like he is out there instead of Drouin or something, come on now.

  5. Evans was regular recall #1. 13.12 (m)(ii) of the CBA notes that emergency conditions exist for illness or injury only. The Habs went below the 12 forwards because of a trade, not illness/injury so it's not actually an emergency situation. (It's a self-inflicted situation so they don't get to benefit by having basically a free emergency roster spot to shuttle players in and out of down the stretch without touching the four recalls.) Hudon's recall was because of Drouin's injury so his qualifies as emergency status but not Evans.

  6. This is a load of BS if you ask me. We have the picks that we can make trades and UFA's will come here. I think we need to add depth to the LW and LD and we will be ok. Our problems has always been depth when it comes to talented skill players. I have never seen a GM rely on a farm system as much as Bergevin that's has no NHL talented players that could fill holes when called upon do to injuries.
