GHT120 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 21 hours ago, IN THE HEARTS OF MEN said: That's hog wash... They have had trouble signing UFA players because they've been sh*t over the years. That coupled with the inability to bang out or make good on 1st rounders for 5/7 years created this vacuum of mediocrity. Draft well and create a winning atmosphere with promise of a contender. Only then will players line up to win a cup in la belle province. Of course you cant compete with Stamkos wanting to stay in TB or Tavares wanting to go home to Toronto. But we will never be able to sign a Panarin when he has to guess who is C is going to be... That may well be true ... and I hope it is ... it would be nice to have that option/opportunity ... but IMO it will take a couple of years of winning (and depending on how the playoffs go this season may or may not be a true start) to build that UFA interest ... meaning it won't be a tool for the near future to build the team needed around Price (33 next Sunday) and Weber (35 on Friday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Should we win this next series (no foregone conclusion!) what would also matter is how we win it: if it's Kotkaniemi, Suzuki, Domi, Lehkonen and Kulak (for example) that play their hearts out to win, it'll give much more confidence about the future capabilities of the Habs than if we win by playing rope-a-dope in front of Price.
