Bingo, give yourself a cigar, for nailing the fundamental problem with this management group. They seem to strive to either draft, trade for, or chase free agent players that are at best 3rd/4th liners, or bottom pairing or depth dmen.
We are are the poster child for Bettman’s new MHL (mediocre hockey league), but we take it too new extremes, by doing a great job of trading for (most of MB’s trades with the exception of Drouin - which I still hated, because we gave up our best prospect, but didn’t fill our biggest need), signing (with the exception of Radulov - who was “final offered” Out of town, while MB ineptly wasted his savings on a useless crap dman), or drafting and developing bottom end talent (and I use the word developing very loosely, because the only thing Lefebve has developed is the passionate hatred of habs fans towards him).
I guess there are a few guys on this site that get all excited about some of these moves MB makes, until they discover that maybe the bums we picked up really are the bums most of us thought they would be.
whats in the pipeline to get excited for next year - nada!
