I would flip Poehling with Cousins have a 3rd line of lehkonen / Domi / Poehling.

The last 2 years has been good when it comes to drafting , in large part due to 2 things. 1) Bergevin changed from thinking big gritty players with no skill was still successful, too drafting speed and skilled players Ment for today's NHL. 2) they missed the playoffs and finished close to the bottom which Allowed them to draft better players. The problem is that we have no NHL ready prospects that are top 6 that can fill in for injuries right now because of his old way of thinking, and our development of players the last 7 years has been garbage. That's all on Bergevin. With the changes last year to our development department and the change in drafting hopefully in 4 years time we will have the talent to call up and fill in when we have injuries and see different results.

Watch when Bergevin has his year end press conference this is what he will bring up 1) he believes this is a playoff team and that's always the goal to make the playoffs. 2) then he will blame the injuries to key players like Gallagher and Armia, Byron 3) then he will throw players under the bus that under preformed, Kotkaniemi, domi, just to name a few. He will say they need to be better and take the next step. 4) then he will do it to price and say if the team is to have any success price needs to be better. Pretty much the same BS he has said the last 5 years. Pretty much pointing the finger at everyone / everything but himself.

Its an escape goat excuse, that has been used the past what 5 years now. no one blames Depth or lack of talent or management........ But everyone blames injuries and the guy making 10mil. In today's NHL you can't win with just 1 elite player its just to deep of a league. You need depth and balance from top to bottom in your organization. Something Montreal has never had.

I know but I am talking about the blaming injuries and price part. It's been over used as an excuse for too long here.

Same old excuses with this team the last 4 years. We just played and lost to a team that has had just about the same if not more injuries this year. Plus lost their top offensive player and goaltender to Free Agency and they're still in a playoff spot.

Yeah but people don't look on what caused the goal. People just like to blame Price for not stopping it.

Kovy looked good on the point with weber they should try that more on the power play.

I would sign him also, I would like to see what this team can do with 3 scoring lines. He could be a fill in for 2 years tell Caulfield is ready for the NHL.

So who's available at 15th in the draft this year?

I think I must still be drunk from last night, are we actually playing 2 strong periods ? Mind you Florida does seem very slow and off their game.

Why is everyone acting like this is new. Montreal gets pushed around very easily when playing team's that are bigger and faster then they are. Montreal has never been a physical team, We're built around the transition game. I don't think Montreal is built for the long-haul of an full season and playoffs, which is why we go on slides and can't recover from them like top NHL team's do.

Watch when we play teams bigger than us and see what happens.

More lack of sleep and too much drinking Last night 😹

He should of been their all last year.

Is it just me or does this season seem way to long 🤔

Sounds like most of the soft players on this team not just Mete lol.

Just give the person with the least about of points from now to the end of the season a bonus. Gives them something to compete for 😹

Wow I can't believe i am going to say this but I agree with Don 🤢

Its not tanking when you're already out of a playoff spot. Tanking is when you do it right out of the gate. Their is no point of a playoff push , because theirs no chance we're making it. So what's better option play for a pick 15-20, or play for a pick 5-12?

I still think we should be trying to get a top 10 lottery pick in the draft rather than try for something that where not going to get which is a playoff spot. I have said from day 1 which got me ripped For it, the problem is we just don't have the depth in the organization to be a contender. When Drouin got hurt I said Bergevin better make a trade or we're going to be in trouble. He didn't and we lost 8 in a row twice. The good terms have the depth in the organization to over come key injuries and still make the playoffs. All we do every time is tail spin out of control.

Question maybe its just me but ........ How do you masturbate in the mirror 🤔 better yet how does one go in a mirror 🤔

Yeah if caulfield was taller he would of been top 5 pick

Yeah hopefully some players fall out of the 1st round and we can get them in the 2nd.

Caulfield will be our version of Gaudreau, I wouldn't trade him at all.
